Fanvid: "Wherever You Will Go" - George Kirk, Jim&Bones

[mijan]

I've never posted a fanvid before.  I don't really know how to make fanvids.  But damn, do I get ideas.  I had this one concept in my mind for months.  I had the music and several sequences of video clips from the movie floating in my head.  I just had no idea how to turn it into a fanvid.

Then kimuracarter  showed me a Doctor Who fanvid she'd made, and told me it was her first and only fanvid.  It was REALLY good.   So... I decided to mention my idea for the Star Trek fanvid.  And she liked it. 

For the past week or so, she's been working on editing while we've bounced ideas back and forth.  I described vid sequences that I'd already had in mind.  She created other sequences.  She came up with this one brilliant sequence that defined the entire storyline of the vid, and we edited and cobbled concepts together around it.  She did all the actual vid editing herself, but this was a creative collaboration, and I'm beyond thrilled to have been a part of it. 

And when I saw the final product, it brought tears to my eyes.  Give it a watch.

Rating: PG
Concept by mijan 
Vid Editing by kimuracarter 
Concept Summary:  George Kirk's dying wish is that when he's gone, someone will be there to watch out for his son.  In a last ditch act of hope, he sends out a message:  "Take care of him. - G. Kirk"  So close to a temporal anomaly, the message arrives years later - to a startled, reluctant, but loyal Leonard McCoy.

LOL - no, I'm not at all surprised - by the quality or creativity - just grateful that I caught it since I'm terrible at keeping up with LJ when I have so many fannish projects going on! Between zine art projets, my fics and a fast approaching deadline for my Revelcon vid, I don't have much time to keep up. : (

*grins* I completely understand being too busy. I'll sometimes miss huge amounts of material on my flist because I'm just too damned busy, and once I've got time to read anything on my flist, it seems insane to try to go back as far as skip=300 to catch up.

Do what you need to do, bb, and come back to fandom when you have time. ♥
