I did my best, it wasn't much

[purplefringe]

guys, I...I made another Good Omens vid? A third one? I don't know what has happened, I don't understand anything any more, apparently Good Omens is my whole life now. (Which is good, I guess, because I have well and truly noped out of engaging with the Real World in quite a serious way, so it's nice to have something else to think about.)

This one has...Feelings in it. Many Feelings, which I absolutely did not know I had. But there we are. It's also to a piece of music about which I (along with approx. half the world) have Many Feelings, although I did know about those, because I once wrote a 2,000 word email-essay containing some of them. (it's NOT Queen, I promise)

I think I had a lot more to say, but it has temporarily escaped the chronicler's mind. Er. Have a vid, I guess.

Thank you to the wonderful soupytwist, such_heights & raven, who are lovely and thoughtful (and patient, and long-suffering) betas. If you haven't already, you should watch the Good Omens vids such_heights and raven have made recently, which are both breathtaking in very different ways.

Hallelujah

fandom: Good Omens
music: Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen, covered by Pentatonix
summary: there's a blaze of light in every word / it doesn't matter which you heard / the holy or the broken hallelujah. On faith, and falling, and freedom.
content notes: a shot of a snake at 00:18; a brief shot of a nail being driven into someone's wrist at 2:08. (I also have a version without the snake, if anyone would like that one)

ETA: I strongly recommend you go and read elisi's extraordinary Good Omens meta - the first section is a wonderful commentary on Aziraphale's journey as presented through this glorious vid by promethia-tenk, and the second section (about two thirds down the page) is about Crowley, and ties into this vid! YAY, INTER-TEXTUAL FANWORKS \o/

I would, incidentally, love to see new edits. And Promethia says she is Quite Likely to take you up on the beta offer, since having an actual vidder look at stuff will probably be helpful! *g* She is still gathering thoughts, so just wait and see.

lol, if you are sure I can export a version and email it to you! It's mostly tiny timing tweaks that will be unnoticeable to most people, and then three slightly more obvious changes.

And Promethia says she is Quite Likely to take you up on the beta offer, since having an actual vidder look at stuff will probably be helpful!

She has messaged me! \o/ she is going to send me her notes, I am so excite. I love beta-ing vids - I get to apply all the obsessiveness i normally pour into my own vids, but get to inflict it on someone else.

Also - sidebar to all this - watching 'Never Look Away' immediately followed by 'Pompeii' is excellent. And the dedication at the end never fails to make me terribly happy.

Awww, I'm so glad! <3 I loved working on Pompeii with you! And, I mean, as you know, it was all because of your meta. Come to think of it, Never Look Away/Pompeii/Kansas was the last time I made a trilogy of vids about the same fandom...WHAT HAS GOOD OMENS DONE TO ME
