I did my best, it wasn't much

purplefringeguys, 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 wonderfulsoupytwist, 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 readelisi'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/

Re: SCREAMING WITH TIME-STAMPS
Date: 2019-07-31 10:00 am (UTC)Tangential, but I'm telling everyone they need to listen to his ep of David Tennant's podcast: https://play.acast.com/s/davidtennant/michaelsheen
Relatively little of it's about Good Omens -- though a fair chunk of it is Sheen's Neil Gaiman stories, which are amazing. But it's honestly one of the most fascinating interviews I've heard in a while, and they go deep into acting process, among many other things. And it sounds like two people who know and like each other having a genuine conversation, which is a rare and nice thing in an interview.
(Content note: they discuss experiences of stage fright and blanking on stage in a way which is liable to give anyone with anxiety the vicarious horrors in sympathy.)
I actually have a very poor visual memory, so I have to spend a lot of time scrolling through scenes in microscopic detail - rather than just going 'oh, I know he smiles in that scene in ep 3' and going straight to it.
Huh, that's fascinating. Not what I would have imagined at all -- I'd have assumed without thinking that good vidders must have excellent visual memories -- but it makes total sense now you've said it.
I have actually visited that church!!
Likewise; it's so lovely.
*I'M* embarrassed by how long it's taken me to reply to you each time, but that is because I am a human disaster who is not very good at dealing with compliments and need to work up the courage to look at them
Completely understood, no stress! My personal failure mode tends to be "Oh wow, this person has written me a long and thoughtful comment, I will put it to one side until I have the mental energy to write them an equally thoughtful reply, oops it's been two months."
But FWIW, one of the things I love about formats like DW is not having to have conversations in real-time, and I love it when people reply to something I've said weeks or months after it was posted: the conversation can keep meandering on in its own time! it's great!
