Love In The Asylum

HEY YOU GUYS I MADE A VID

So, a few weeks ago, when I was talking about the video remix project I had coming up for my film studies class with colourofsaying, I said kind of off-handedly, tell me one good reason why a video about Amy Pond kicking ass to a Jonathan Coulton song wouldn't be the greatest thing ever. And colourofsaying couldn't come up with any at all, because The Princess Who Saved Herself really is the perfect Amy Pond song, and more videos about how amazing she is are always a good thing. So I spent the next week picking apart video files, engaging in hand-to-hand combat with my computer, and getting all wibbly over Season Five again, and the end result is this. Enjoy!

So, I may have just talked myself into doing an Amy Pond fanvid set to The Princess Who Saved Herself for a video remixing project. In which Amy Pond is the princess, River Song is the witch, the space whale is the dragon, and the prince is that fish alien dude from Vampires in Venice. IT WILL BE AWESOME. Or, you know, complete and utter crack. Same thing.

I don't think my professor will disapprove of this, since I already know she makes femslashy Battlestar Galactica vids. How do I know this? Because she showed one at the conference we went to this weekend on DIY Video in San Francisco. We being about half my film studies class. It was really fun - some interesting stuff about remix theory, fan communities, and current innovations in video software and hosting platforms (most of which went way over my head, but still), free food, and our way back through the sketchy, hobo-filled train yard we almost got hit by a train. Not that I am home, and not smushed by a train, I find myself really wanting to a) have opinions on open source software and intellectual property and b)learn how to vid. I am too busy for either of those, but I do not care!

At least this gives me plenty of things to distract me from this weekend's painfully depressing football results. Oh Arsenal. I still love you boys, but what the fuck were you doing out there?

ETA: My class project for this week is requiring me to look at many pictures of Benedict Cumberbatch and his ridiculous face. And Robert Downey Jr in suspenders. This is the worst assignment ever. :)
