The song is on my default playlist, and last week, in the throes of full-blown fandom crazy, I started obsessing about what a fantastic track this would make for an Iron Man vid. And then one of the DOOMTHREADS -- it is 4:30AM, and I am too brainfried to figure out where, even with Gmail's halfway decent search engine -- somebody mentioned wanting to see it. And uh. I was too tired to write tonight, so here! HAVE MY OBSESSION.

Started at 10PM or so of Friday night, finished around 4AM of Saturday morning. Not much in the way of movie-independent storytelling, which is probably why it came together so easily. It usually takes me about eight hours per minute, but I banged this together in way, way under that. Think more like a 5:20 recap of the movie than anything else.

DO NOT GET OVER IRON MAN. EVER.

making vids from goddamn CAM FOOTAGE (AND MAKING IT LOOK GOOD) (FROM A BUNCH OF SCRAPS!!!!) is so commendable i can't even express it

adlkfjld. AHAHA. Actually, making it from the cam helped out at a couple points -- in the scene where Obediah is leaning over Tony's shoulder with the paralysis doohickey, he's actually blabbering away, but since the cam version is so dark, you can't tell that his lips are moving. And it helps hide the blabbering in the scene where Obediah rolls up to the Ten Signs guy and is like, "'Sup, I'm gonna kill you now."

But yeah. Still. Recut when the DVD comes out, particularly for the scenes with Yinsen in the cave and the Christine Everhart in bed ones. And the one where the flags turn into Tony and you can see somebody's head moving around on the left. And the scenes that synch to when the suit's eyes light up because there're a pair of really bad failure-to-synchs riiiiiiight before the big moment.

Anyways. You didn't ask to hear baout my endless vid angst. Thanks so much for the gorgeous, gorgeous comment. (And the gorgeous artwork, too. That gorgeous Tony-and-Pepper manip you did back in the day was one of the first things I found when poking around after the movie, and I remember the HOLY FUCK THAT IS AMAZING impact. I've just been way too chicken and inarticulate to leave you anything about it)
