Good Omens Vid

[purplefringe]

Er, hi friends! *waves*. It's been a while! But I, like almost the entire rest of my friend group, have fallen MADLY in love with the Good Omens TV series. It's one of my all time favourite books, and I just, I just can't quite believe how wonderful this adaptation is??? I just??? I was expecting it to be GOOD, but I wasn't expecting to lose my fucking mind like this.

So, here's a vid! This one was a LONG TIME in the making. It first occurred to me...five years ago, I think? Well before the TV show was even announced. It was a hypothetical 'if they ever adapted Good Omens, this is what I would love to make' thing. And....and I can't quite believe I have now finally made it?? wtf.

I just thought, you know what, it would be SUPER INTERESTING to make a vid examining all the theological arguments, biblical concepts and questions of morality which are touched on in Good Omens. There's some really interesting metaphysical ideas in there, and it just struck me that someone should make a vid exploring that more closely - and of course, it would have to be set to a piece of suitably epic religious music. So, here's Bach's Mass in B Minor.

Huge, huge thank you to the *truly* ineffable thingswithwings for her amazingly dedicated beta-ing which made this 1000% better, and also to all my jerk friends (hi guys) who have also lost their fucking minds and yelled at me about this a lot.

WHY do you not show up on my flist? I mean, I saw this thanks to Twitter, so I am happy to be congratulating you, but I need to look into what's wrong with my flist.

Anyway, did you enjoy Doing Good? :)

ETA: The vid is FABULOUS and I will happy to help with any future endavours...

???? That is very mysterious! I suspect demonic work at play. I am delighted you found and enjoyed it though :D It feels so good (Good) to be vidding again.

I have another Good Omens vid in mind which, weirdly, is NOT a Crowley/Aziraphale-centric one...might make a start on that tonight...

[promethia_tenk]

Yeah, I had the same thing. It's very weird.

Same! I didn't see either vid post until you x-posted to vidding, but now that I scroll back on my flist, they're there. P, you don't draft your posts in the DW window so when you're finally done they appear, like, an hour or more backdated and get buried behind people's newer posts?

[purplefringe]

HMMMMMMM that is super weird! I do often draft my posts a while before actually publishing them - I know I did this time, because I wrote the post before exporting the final draft of the vid - but I do click the 'update date' button before posting! It says this was posted at 12:10am, which is correct. UGH, DREAMWIDTH, WHY. It seems even when I'm not doing the *actual vidding* part of vidding, I am beset by technical nonsense. Anyway thanks for letting me know - I will be aware of this for next time...

Update: could it be the same thing that happened to isis? https://isis.dreamwidth.org/233800.html

[purplefringe]

Ooooh, it could be! I just went and had a look at my recent posts and that box isn't checked, but I am going to keep an eye on it from now on - I had no idea it was even there! Thanks for flagging this :D

An angel was looking out for me... :)

Oooh pray tell. Like, send me an email if you like? *puppydog eyes*

[purplefringe]

I might email it to you when I have a draft! It's a vid about Agnes and Anathema and is VERY SILLY. :D

[elisi]

*claps* Sounds awesome!
