Weir Vid  
I made this Video especially for my mate Federica. She is just incredibly awesome and loves Torri so I had to do it. With her kind permission I'm going to post it up so everyone can see.

I know a few people have been asking me to do a Weir vid so I hope everyone likes it.
Thanks to my Beta Lockstock. It looks so much better now mate thanks :D

Yes, well hats what you get.

:P Bad Callum!

Thankyou

There should be more Weir vids! That was such a lovely vid of Weir. The lyrics were so appropriate for Weir. Especially "when everything is crashing down"!

I loved the end with all her smiles, then her expression as she leaves Atlantis with her colleagues appearing at her side. Great vid!

Well, you know I love your stuffs, this one's no different.

I've been meaning to ask you. Are you a Doctor Who fan?
obfreak[info]obfreak on April 25th, 2007 08:22 am (UTC)
Thanks Wicc :D
I am a Dr Who fan (well the new lot of series anyway before that not so much) Unfortunately though its on at a really bad time for me in Aust so I have basically haven't seen any of it :( One of these days however I'm going to get my hands on it.

OMG! Beautiful!

Though I have to admit I'm slightly jealous. I had decided to vid this song months ago and never got around to it, but your version is so much better than anything I had planned, hehe!
obfreak[info]obfreak on April 25th, 2007 08:25 am (UTC)
Thanks.

Oh really? thats funny. I have never actually heard this song before, but it popped up on the radio on day and I had to try to remember it. Glad it all worked out though.

Thanks for making this awesome Weir tribute vid. Very dynamic. Anthemic, even, which is a great way to showcase a character that's so "thinky" and doesn't get enough credit for her role on Atlantis. (Must be pretty obvious I love this character too!) I'll rec this on my LJ.
obfreak[info]obfreak on April 25th, 2007 08:29 am (UTC)
No problemo dude
Thanks for the comment and thanks for the rec too :P

wow! just wow!
Loved it! by the way, I couldn't get the sound to work in windows media player but it works just fine in VLC.

Just loved it :D
obfreak[info]obfreak on April 25th, 2007 08:30 am (UTC)
Re: wow! just wow!
Thanks, glad you liked it
Hmmm thats interesting. This whole sound thing is really confusing me :S
I just want you to know who I am...[info]takumachi on April 24th, 2007 02:09 pm (UTC)
I love it! It's a awesome video and kudos for it being about Weir. I haven't really seen that many about her that are good. XD
obfreak[info]obfreak on April 25th, 2007 08:31 am (UTC)

fex_84[info]fex_84 on April 24th, 2007 05:53 pm (UTC)

Shari?

First: I LOVE YOU!!!! (in the most platonic way! *g*)

Second: uhm... you know something? When you sent the link of my music vid you sent not this one... but a McKay/Carson vid. A vid that I have never seen before because I couldn't download it from your site. So I thought *that* was the vid you made for me... God, you'd thought I was crazy on our chat today!!!! My God!!
:DDDDDDDDDD

Third: I run to watch MY vid!!! ;)

Fourth: THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN, MATE!!!!
obfreak[info]obfreak on April 25th, 2007 08:36 am (UTC)
Hehehe

:O Are you serious? How the hell did I manage that?! *is partially annoyed* What video did I send ya? Hahahaha actually that makes our conversation make a lot more sense for me now. I was wondering why you were going on about Carson and Rodney... and why you asked me about making a weir vid... that really confused me. LOL
Sorry about that. I really wanted you too see it first, but at least you have it now.
fex_84[info]fex_84 on April 24th, 2007 05:58 pm (UTC)
Ok, now I can say that:

YOU MADE ME CRYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was the MOST BEAUTIFUL vid I've ever seen!!!!
And I am so honored you made it for me!!!

I... I really don't know what to say... you made me speechless and, believe me, it's pretty hard...

God, how she's beautiful!!! You made me love Elizabeth more and that wasn't hard, it was almost impossible!!!

Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks,T hanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks,

AWESOME like all your videos.
beautifull tribute to this great character!
obfreak[info]obfreak on April 25th, 2007 08:40 am (UTC)
Thank you
Thats great to hear :)
johnsheppardluv: heh[info]johnsheppardluv on April 25th, 2007 01:31 am (UTC)
Hey ob, aka...Shari...

YAY! I finally know your real name & it starts with Shar - like mine! Go Go Mighty Shar-eses!!! ;) lol ;)

Anyhoo, you did a most illustriously wonderous & illuminating job on this here vid, dude! :) Bur then again ALL of your vids are spectacularly awesome! ;) so, why should this one be anything different. my fave parts of it: your mad awesome editing skillz, your adherence to the lyrics, & your literal clip choices that just TOTALLY FIT...

...like the one at the beginning, with the pairing of "She never slows down" with the part in no man's land (or was it allies?) where she totally blows by an official on her way to the Gate (one who looked like he was waiting for her to sign something right before she left for Earth), not even half-acknowledging her prescence. lol;) i LIKED that. A lot. ;) & having the "shadow" in the song be John from The Real World was a clever move too. :) i also LOVED the quick cuts & bisected/twofer shots that covered the "pain/drown" parts (1:45-1:50 & 2:33-2:37) & all her serious/action/angsty faces just after both sets. AND I also really dug the way you ended to, with Lizzie getting "face-time" with all the other main characters too (& only you could make their one-looks both show off their signature traits & show off the fact that, as a leader, Liz recalls them all on a truly individual basis)...

McKay as being giddy with science, Carson as being tender-hearted with all of his patients, Teyla being happy with her place among the earthers finally, Lorne with being like a happy-go-lucky school kid, Zelenka with being wistful (& possibly acting almost like a mirror image of herself?), Ronon still being a bit wary yet trying to blend in somwhat, Shep being dorky & cute (lol) & reassuring all in the same stead...AND finally Atlantis City herself as being somehow sad to see her go...

BUT - yeah - YOU ROCK!!! :)

And JEBUS, WOMAN! I swear! ;) You always seem to make me fall in love with characters that I don't even like at first. And yet after seeing your newest vid (if it features them), i'll all up on their band wagon begging for morefrom them!!! (I'm thinking of Rodney vs. your Rodney vids mostly, but Liz kinda fits into that category too, just to a lesser extent (cuz i usually like her only in conjunction with ronon or sheppard & never by herself).

And in case I haven't already made this apparent enough. You & your bloody awesome & utterly coolisimo vid have made a convert out of me in more ways than one! YAY!!! :)

obfreak[info]obfreak on April 25th, 2007 08:57 am (UTC)
:O
The secret is out!
Hahahaha you make me laugh :P

Thanks very much mate. Wow what awesome feedback! This is great! Thanks so much. I love hearing stuff like this so thanks once again.
See its comments like this that makes all the long frustrating hours so worth it. Thanks.

Hahaha have I mentioned you make me laugh?
johnsheppardluv: smile even tho...[info]johnsheppardluv on April 25th, 2007 01:36 am (UTC)
PS Loved the song choice too! Very haunting in a way. Yet also very Weir-like! :) Me likey mucho mucho much. :)

PPS Took the smaller filed version to save you some webspace space. :)

~Sharma (again - lol)
Leslie: Gaius & Six Heart[info]silver_venus42 on April 25th, 2007 02:13 am (UTC)
That was fabulous! That was by far the best Weir video I've see yet!
obfreak[info]obfreak on April 25th, 2007 08:41 am (UTC)
Hey Thanks!
So happy you think so
celcool[info]celcool on April 25th, 2007 10:25 am (UTC)
OMG, I have literally tears in my eyes after watching this. Just awesome. Wow. Thanks to both of you!
obfreak[info]obfreak on April 26th, 2007 08:21 am (UTC)
:D
Thanks for that
(Anonymous) on April 25th, 2007 12:54 pm (UTC)
*faints*
OMG, that was awesome! Awesome!!!!

I love Elizabeth - she's my favorite character on the show. So you made me really, really happy with this video!
It's just perfect - by far the best Elizabeth vid I have ever seen!
The song fits absolutely and you put the pictures perfectly to the music - I really adore the fast cuts!
The end made me cry though - considering Torri's status in the upcoming season... felt like saying goodbye...

Thank you so much for making this vid!

Lots of hugs, Lyta
obfreak[info]obfreak on April 26th, 2007 08:22 am (UTC)
Re: *faints*
Thanks for suck a great comment. Glad to hear you liked it.
I must admit the end was kind of a tribite knowing that the character is leaving... Dont even get me started on that!
peanutbutterer: Return Elizabeth[info]peanutbutterer on April 25th, 2007 03:09 pm (UTC)
Wow, that was beautiful. It even managed to be lyrical and fluid without sound - which takes mad skills. =P

And then when you put the two together? Flawless. =)
obfreak[info]obfreak on April 26th, 2007 08:23 am (UTC)
Thanks
Wonderful to hear such great feedback. Happy you liked it
celcool: www.saveelizabethweir.com[info]celcool on April 25th, 2007 06:53 pm (UTC)
I have to add that I wish Torri would watch this vid. She'd be moved.

How much time did it take for you to make this vid?
obfreak[info]obfreak on April 26th, 2007 08:27 am (UTC)
:D That would be cool wouldnt it...

Ooohhh how long. Um well I started a month ago, but I have been working on a few others at the same time on and off. Just this one though, maybe 2 weeks. Most of it was done in bout half of that, but theres all fiddly bits I had to try to get right, add effects etc.

Wow, fantastic ! Amazing video ;) I'm into viding myself, but I wish I was as good as you are. That blew me away. Keep up the good work.

This is an absolutely gorgeous vid. I'm blown away.
obsessed1o1[info]obsessed1o1 on April 26th, 2007 03:24 pm (UTC)
How do you do it??? This vid was amazing.....the music was perfectly timed to the scenes, the different cuts were well done and the fast cuts at the end with Liz being blown away and then slipping effortlesly to Shep carrying her were just........*speechless* Also, i love the overlay with the other scenes (shep being fed on, carson, the other characters etc) You really NEED to use this talent in a job or...something.....you're just so good at making these vids
