DW Vid: What I've Done  

Song: What I've Done
Artist: Linkin Park

Well - [info]rhoboat bought me at the Sweet Charity auction back in May and sent me this song and said, "there, vid it". Undecided So.... yeah.... the song has been sitting on my computer ever since then and it wasn't until the end of the current season of Doctor Who that I said, oh yeah, *now* I can vid this. And here's the result. Dark!Doctor all the way to the end of season 3.
So this one's for you, rho Smile

I'm speechless. Really. Wow. Um.

Oh. My. God.

I LOVE IT!!!! Thank you so very much!! *give jag hugest hug ever*

Maybe later. After watching it and loving it and when I'm more coherent, I can make a more dignified comment. But, that'll have to wait. I'm quite literally shaking and even have had to retype bunches of this so I don't come out sounding like a complete blubbering fool. :D

Thank you!!! A million times!!! More even! *HUGS*
jagwriter78[info]jagwriter78 on July 18th, 2007 12:59 pm (UTC)
So - how much out of the blue did this come :D You don't wanna know how often I was this close to spoil LOL

I am so glad you like this! I've told you a many times that this song is not really my cup of tea, but I thought I'd give it a try nontheless. And actually, I had quite some fun doing this none :)

Oooh...but I love it! No really, I do! That's one of the best fan videos I've ever had the pleasure of watching...Can I hug you? No? Too bad. *gives ginormous e-hug* I've noticed I have an odd sort of...thing about Dark!Doctor (as in, I'm oddly attracted to it), but that was...wow. You're my new favorite person.
jagwriter78[info]jagwriter78 on July 18th, 2007 01:01 pm (UTC)
I've noticed I have an odd sort of...thing about Dark!Doctor

So do I! He's so damn sexy when he gets angry! And when that also involves ruffling hair, oooooooooooooh :D

Glad you enjoyed this :)

*hug back*

Ooh! Loved it. XD Dark!Doctor is SUCH a fascinating concept and I'm glad that someone finally vidded it. LOVE the clips you chose from this season. (Felt like such a good wrap-up of S3, too, given the general theme of soul-crushing despair and the like.)
jagwriter78[info]jagwriter78 on July 18th, 2007 01:05 pm (UTC)
I can't be the first one to vid Dark!Doctor. I refuse to believe that. There's so much potential to work Dark!Doctor! DT's face is absolutely stunning when he gets angry!

I hadn't really thought about seeing this as a sort of wrap-up of season 3. It's just that there is not a lot of Dark!Doctor in season 2 LOL There's quite an arch though, going from Runaway Bride and the despair of losing Rose to Last of the Time Lords and losing the Master in there. Gawd - Dark!Doctor is hot LOL

That was awesome, I really love it when the Doctor goes dark.
jagwriter78[info]jagwriter78 on July 18th, 2007 01:06 pm (UTC)
I really love it when the Doctor goes dark.

So do I! And then - looking at your icon - having the "comic" counterpart to all that darkness. Oh, I love it!

Donna, Donna, Donna, DONNA!

This video is absolutely, positively gorgeous! I love it... even if it's not your type of song. *hehe* It's already on my Zen so I can watch it work tomorrow. You are one of vidders which I aspire to become. *grin* Absolutely adore the timing and color you used for it.
jagwriter78[info]jagwriter78 on July 18th, 2007 01:07 pm (UTC)
even if it's not your type of song.

Well - I might have to revise that thought. Cause honestly, I really enjoyed making this vid for one reason or another. Now, it could just be because I was looking at sexy Dark!Doctor all the time *laugh* but it could also be because I enjoyed the challenge the music brought with it. Dunno. We'll see :)
Teska Future[info]teskafuture on July 19th, 2007 10:27 am (UTC)
Now, it could just be because I was looking at sexy Dark!Doctor all the time *laugh*

Well... it's true that one can't really complain about that! *grin*

Dark!Doctor is my very fav! You've captured all his blacker moods in a high quality vid with professional editing.

Thanks and well done!
jagwriter78[info]jagwriter78 on July 18th, 2007 01:09 pm (UTC)
Thanks, [info]daedream_fanbot. Glad to hear you enjoyed the vid :)
Stephanie: [info]ladycallie on July 18th, 2007 02:04 am (UTC)
That was almost orgasmic. Oh emo!puppy!Ten, how I adore you! I'd forgotten how much he got angry, and hurted and saved the worldish this last season (there were many things that I didn't like, I think I let them distract me too much and now I should rewatch.)

You bundled all the hurt/comforty good bits and paired them with *flail* Linkin Park, who I have a quiet and multicolored love for.

This is wonderful, keeping, passing the link to a few others!

*joins Jag hug pile*
jagwriter78[info]jagwriter78 on July 18th, 2007 01:11 pm (UTC)
You should definitely rewatch! The whole season was really up and down all the way till the end.... but just looking at Dark!Doctor - squeeeeeee!

My sis is a huge Linkin Park fan. I wonder if I could finally make her watch some DW by forcing her to watch this LOL

Thanks for watching :)

Dark!Doctor is always a win. You bring your usual awesome quality to this vid.

Excellent work as always. The effects/vid work are brilliant.

I like the new watermark, too.

It's been recc'd on my vid rec post, of course :D
jagwriter78[info]jagwriter78 on July 18th, 2007 01:15 pm (UTC)
I like the new watermark, too.

You know, I always adjust my watermark to whatever font I use in the vid. So it matches :D I really like that font though....

Thanks for liking this so much to rec it *hug*
Kate[info]gregorysgirl23 on July 18th, 2007 03:47 am (UTC)
WOW...just wow! That was unbelievable! The quotes were perfect; that whole scene from the end of Family of Blood gives me chills everytime. I love it when they show how dark and dangerous the Doctor can be! Didn't get the name 'Destroyer of Worlds' for nothing, did he? This vid portrays it perfectly and is so well made! Very well done!
jagwriter78[info]jagwriter78 on July 18th, 2007 01:17 pm (UTC)
I love it when they show how dark and dangerous the Doctor can be!

So do I! It's a completely different side and damn - he killed millions and millions of people. I am happy that they explored that side of him further, especially in The Family of Blood.

Glad you enjoyed the vid :)

*cries* THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!! *cries*

Oh gawd, I can't control myself. Why are you so good???!!! I mean really, this has gotta be your best work to date. I'm just absolutely smashingly in love with it. Wow. I honestly have no words. The theme of dark!Ten is one of my favorites, so you got me immediately. Well, the fact that you released a new vid got me immediately. ;) But having the vid be THIS GOOD really makes me squee! askjakfjskjf I'm just...I'm just...preeeeeetttttyyyyyy.

Seriously though, you need to make a tutorial about your process in this vid. I wanna know your secrets! I was toying with the idea of using that b/w flash effect in some future vid, but damn woman! You beat me to it. And those flashes! Now tell me how easily you got it to work!!!

*prostrates self before the mighty vidder* *chants "your vidding is ancient and forever"*

*"burn with me"*
jagwriter78[info]jagwriter78 on July 18th, 2007 01:34 pm (UTC)
Why are you so good???!!!

Cause I had a good teacher *looks at [info]humansrsuperior and [info]raspberry_splat* Yeah, don't deny it. Honestly. *nods*

I mean really, this has gotta be your best work to date.

Yup, I agree *nods again* Gotta say thanks to rho for "forcing" me to do this :D

Seriously though, you need to make a tutorial about your process in this vid.

Uhm - I don't think it would be very entertaining. Like I told HRS, I went by the "okay, I have this scene, let's see where it would fit in the vid :D " rule LOL But if you want to know something, just ask :)

Sorry, my mind is wandering off while I am typing this - I am listening to the full thing I posted in the other thread that made you squeeee.... can I say that voice is mesmerizing? LOL

Anyways.....

Now tell me how easily you got it to work!!!

The flashes? *whispers: it's a Vegas transition* Or did you mean the short clip flashes. Okay, listening to this interview makes my brain turn to goo.....
cortexiphan juice box: FS - Aeryn//adorkable[info]hollywoodgrrl on July 18th, 2007 03:17 pm (UTC)
Not fair! I demand your full attention. *stomps foot* Not that other thing where that person is talking with her mesmerizing voice that just makes me melt (like those two secs you posted seriously melted me).

Um yeah, tutorials aren't supposed to be entertaining. They're supposed to teach you how to do cool looking stuff!

Or did you mean the short clip flashes.
Yeah, I meant those. I'm gonna look at the vid more closely later on and come back to bug you some more about it. :P
jagwriter78[info]jagwriter78 on July 18th, 2007 03:26 pm (UTC)
Not fair! I demand your full attention.

Well - you got it now :D

They're supposed to teach you how to do cool looking stuff!

I know they are. But what I have found to be the problem with tutorials - they always tend to work with exactly the source material that the tutorial was written with, for, whatever and when you go to apply them to your own stuff, it looks crap LOL

But you know that you can always ask about how I did something, right? The flashes for instances, they were quite easy. Made the clips b/w and adjusted contrast and brightness to make them brighter. Each flash is 7 frames long and put in a new layer. Some of them are on a layer that is set to screen mode, some are on a layer that is set to regular mode and I just adjusted the opacity. The clips starts at exactly the beat in the music, stay for 2 frames and then fades. That's all there is :)
cortexiphan juice box: Who - Am I bovvered?[info]hollywoodgrrl on July 18th, 2007 03:42 pm (UTC)
Squee! New techniques! Thank you, Sweetie! I shall try to apply them to the vid I'm currently working on. But if not then definitely the next one. It all depends on the song. ;)

*perks up* Screen Mode? What's that???
jagwriter78[info]jagwriter78 on July 19th, 2007 05:51 pm (UTC)
Screen mode - that's an overlay mode for a whole track. See where you can change the opacity for a whole track? You know, that slider thingy. Right next to it is a box with what looks two be two little squares over each other. Click on it. It gives you a list of different overlay modes for the whole track. Set it to screen. Look what it does. Some overlays look coooool that way!
cortexiphan juice box: Who - Timelord[info]hollywoodgrrl on July 24th, 2007 02:44 am (UTC)
OK, so I've been reading Harry Potter for days now, and sadly am not even done *headdesk* but I finally made myself open Vegas to take a look at the new tricks. So I see it now! Yayz! Thankee muchly. :D
raspberry_splat: nine_send home[info]raspberry_splat on July 18th, 2007 10:08 am (UTC)
I'm still recovering from total WOW mode here, so forgive the incoherent natue of this reply...but I just have to say, do you realize this is my first Jag Doctor Who vid I've watched since I finished watching all 3 seasons??? And what a gloirous upon glorious experience it was.....wow wow wow..........(sorry, still pretty much incoherent)

This is beyond beautiful and I'll try to come back with better comments later...

This makes a very new DW fan and unworthy vidder yearn to (yes my Nine-loving self dares to say) vid some Ten. lol
jagwriter78[info]jagwriter78 on July 18th, 2007 01:37 pm (UTC)
do you realize this is my first Jag Doctor Who vid I've watched since I finished watching all 3 seasons???

You finished all 3 seasons already? Whaa wha wha - what happened to watching more episodes together! Well - at least the first and the last would have been nice :D But then, I wasn't at work really again to watch some more LOL

This makes a very new DW fan and unworthy vidder yearn to (yes my Nine-loving self dares to say) vid some Ten. lol

Who says UNWORTHY! RAS! *frying pan* You are NOT unworthy whatsoever!!! I want to see you do DW, yes, absolutely, I totally want you to do a DW vid. Even if it takes you a decade, I'd wait - cause I know it'll be awesome!

Mari: ten fury[info]phantomviola on July 18th, 2007 04:37 pm (UTC)
Absolutely fantastic! Dark!Doctor is the best. Everything about your videos is so amazing and so professional. I also love how you follow the rhythm of the music with the clips. Amazing work. More vids please! ;)
jagwriter78[info]jagwriter78 on July 19th, 2007 05:52 pm (UTC)
I totally agree, Dark!Doctor is the best! He can be so villain like if he wants to be :D

I am glad to hear you enjoyed it, and there probably will be more vids in the future. I don't plan on retiring - yet ;)
amtrak12: blue black[info]amtrak12 on July 18th, 2007 10:04 pm (UTC)
Heh heh. I ask and someone randomly delivers. No, really I had just said to [info]bookowl that people need to make more dark vids because I'm addicted to them right now, and then suddenly you post your vid.

That was great. [info]rhoboat did a good job picking out that song. Definitely perfect for series 3. I think my favorite part was when you took one of my least favorite finale scenes (I have a lot of those) and made it look really good. I think it was around 2:50 area. The whole levitating scene clips that you used. I really liked that scene matched to the line about forgiving. That fit really well.

Oh, and I agree with you. Dark!Doctor is hot. As long as that anger is being directed AT you. That wouldn't be much fun.
jagwriter78[info]jagwriter78 on July 19th, 2007 05:57 pm (UTC)
Hehehehe, some people tell me I am clairvoyant - not LOL

[info]rhoboat actually sent me that song right at the beginning of season 3, either after SAJ or TSC - so the real Dark!Doctor as we saw him in TLE, HM and FOB hadn't emerged yet. I didn't quite know what to do with the song back then, but now that the whole season is done - rho, are you clairvoyant? LOL

I think my favorite part was when you took one of my least favorite finale scenes (I have a lot of those) and made it look really good.

You know what - [info]humansrsuperior said the exact same thing LOL I personally found that whole scene rather pathetic in the episode, but for some reason, it quite fit with the music and the lyrics at that point. So I think I gotta thank RTD for putting it in there anyway LOLOL
X-parrot: doctor 3-d[info]xparrot on July 19th, 2007 06:36 pm (UTC)
Gorgeous. Yow, gorgeous. I wish I could be more articulate that that but...wow. Yeah. The images and the cuts and just, the...er...too blown away to make sense. And not just 'cuz dark!Ten is a thing of beauty. (Though he is. Mmm.)
jagwriter78[info]jagwriter78 on July 25th, 2007 09:59 am (UTC)
Glad you enjoyed this, [info]xparrot. Thanks for the comments, they are very much appreciated :)

There's nothing I can say that hasn't been said by your previous commenters -- this is just a great video. Dark!Doctor is so haunting, and you captured this side of him so well. Great job!
jagwriter78[info]jagwriter78 on July 25th, 2007 10:00 am (UTC)
I am absolutely in love with Dark!Doctor :D

Thanks for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate it :)
