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.

Music: "Wherever You Will Go"  by "The Calling"
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.

You know what...I like it! Very nice bit of storytelling. The girls watched the movie late last night and it makes sense. :)

I like it! I hadn't taken that interpretation on this song but now I don't think I can hear it any other way. The sequences go well to the music too. I some are so perfect (the end bit, the running and the beginning with George) that I'm sure they're the parts you were envisioning.

I have the same problem with fanvid ideas, by the way, not enough talent/experience to put my vision together! It's really cool that you found someone collaborate with.

Interesting, it refuses to play for me as I'm in a non-acceptable country! (otherwise known as Germany)

Video was awesome, song has always been one of my favorites, etcetcetc ;) SEE, I REMEMBERED. ::gets bricked::

Totally amazing from start to finish. I hope the new movie, when it comes, provides us with some more Bones and Jim clips to be altered into wonderful videos like this. :D

Great work, both of you!

OMG - I didn't even make it half-way through before I was bawling like a baby! THANK YOU soooo much for sharing that here! I doubt if I ever would have had the joy of watching it otherwise.

Off to give Kimuracarter a shout-out.
