Summary: The Ego and the Id; Schanke celebration video.
Notes: This is actually my first FK fan vid but the second to be completed. It's a long song and I've already trimmed out 2 minutes but I fell it's still about 40 seconds too long. Hopefully in the future I'll be able to trim down the song and the vid some more. I'd hate for Schank to overstay his welcome.
Well done!
All the best,
Heather a.k.a Madam CodXXXXXXXXXXXX
I was so *obsessed* with this vid, lol. I pretty much clipped every single Schanke scene from the first two seasons so that I wouldn't miss anything. I desperately wanted to see some happy, fun FK vids and when I couldn't find any I figured I'd try to make my own. This song fell into my lap by accident and aside from the name it just screamed Schanke. It fit with the clips I was assembling and his "cool", "man of the world" mentality.
Thanks so much for commenting Heather. I'm really happy you liked it. :-)
You're probably right about trimming the link for more general audiences. Every shot, assembled in such a fun way, is excellent for a bona-fide FoD or generally devoted FK fan, but for anyone who has backed off a ways, or -- tragically -- just never gotten Schanke, they might find themselves wandering after a while.
I was going to say that I know of a few fun, cheery FK vids from the old days (on VHS), but on checking, I discovered I was mistaken! The lighter vids I had in mind were uniformly multi-fandom: including FK, but not FK-only. Huh. Are we such a grim bunch? Many of the vids are determined and happy, hoping for triumph over the characters' struggles, but not so much "fun" or light.
Yay! I had loads of fun making it.

Even I found my attention wandering off at times and it's my vid, lol. It's back to my Audiocity program to see if I can further trim the music.

Perhaps not so much "grim" but FK fans certainly have a healthy appreciation for angst that seems to come with the territory. I guess it comes with the way TPTB approached the series thematically and visually. I was clipping the Nick Knight Rick Springfield movie recently and flashbacks aside, they essentially use the same script. However, the Nick Knight movie is so much lighter in execution. Springfield's Nick has his share of angst but not to the extent that GWD's does. I often wonder if the actor's performance informed the tone of the show or if the tone of the show informed the actor's performance. I imagine someone vidding to a hypothetical Nick Knight series would probably not be as dark as FK.
The sendspace link has been used up... can you reup?
Excellent! My evil plan to reignite Forever Knight watching is working. Mwahaha!!!
It is a perfect portrait of Schanke. I loved the humor in the video and the song was a great choice.
Aww, thank you. It's very nice of you to say. Schanke makes me happy. :-)
I wish there were more vidders for this fandom.
I wholeheartedly agree. With the resurgence in vampire shows/movies I keep hoping that the talented, younger vidders will take on FK and shake things up a bit.
Thank you for sharing :)
There's not a bad one in the bunch but Schanke, especially, makes me happy. I'm really glad you liked the vid. Most of my fannish creations are Forever Knight related. I've found quite the productive rhythm in it. :-P
