[Closed] Caspian/Susan Fanvid - Far Away

Hey y'all! :D

I've been wanting to do a Caspian/Susan video for the longest time, and recently, after searching for months, found a program that aloud me to have full access to my PC and VDT DVD video, in the right format that WindowsMovieMaker would read! :D

I made this today, and wasn't too disappointed with it. I do hope you'll all tell me what you think! :D The song is Far Away by Nickelback.

C and CC is appreciated. :D

Okay, so usually in the Art section, I just post a few sentences along the lines of, "Awesome! Good job! Well done!" etc. etc. This time, it's going to take a bit more than that in order for me to fully express the awesomeness of this video.

First off, let me say that I get this feeling inside that you won't get very many comments because it's a Suspian video, and most of the people on here are pretty anti-Suspian. Do. Not. Think. It's. Because. The. Video. Is. Bad. Because, really, the video is amazing. Super amazing, like... :-o

Secondly, I'm not a Suspian fan either. But this video made me want to cry. Now I feel like writing a fanfic for you, LON...

Thirdly, while I was watching this, my brain started coming up with new passages for my books. That only happens to me with really amazing movies. Professional movies, I mean. I don't think it's ever hapenned to me with a fanvid before...

Fourthly, I hope you don't mind if I download this? :D

Like Ithilwen, I'm not a SuCas fan. However, the movie is very good. Good song, good images to match the song. AND THIS IS YOUR FIRST!??? Wow.

EJ, I have NO idea what to say.... :D ..... That's beyond kind of you! I'm honored beyond words that you think so much of it, and enjoyed it so! I'm so glad it turned out well, for being my first attempt at any sort of video editing, and only taking one after noon. :) Oh, your comments mean so much to me. Thank you so much EJ! I'm so happy you think it was amazing.

Aw, that's sweet of you. Oh, wow! :D That is an honor. I am so glad it gave you a bit of inspiration! No, I don't mind you downloading it at all! Thank you again, for all that EJ. It definitely brightens my day. :D

Ela, Thank you so! So glad you think it's good. :)
Shy Galadriel, Thank you for commenting! :D Ah, yes, 'tis my first. But I am so glad you thought it was good!

Very nice! My only CC is that you perhaps used the kissing scene too repetitively. But it was on the chorus so I understand why. I just think maybe if you edited out some of the middle of the song perhaps (not that I know how, lol) to make it shorter, maybe you would need less clips and would not have to repeat the certain part as much. But believe me, I am a newbie and that is TERRIFIC for your first video!! I really love how you used the part where it is Lucy looking like Susan in there with her touching her face... and then walking out...you managed to take what few Susan parts are in VDT look splendid!!! :D Keep up the good work!

Now it would be a challenge to make a Caspian/Lilliandil one wouldn't it? lol Not like you want to if you like Susan/Caspian, of course... ;))

Lovey job! :) I'm not a fan of Susan/Caspian either, but the video was very sweet. Great job choosing epic shots that really flowed with the music. You had some very nice transitions, too. :) Although I have to say that fade transitions tend to look better than the special ones (i.e. eye opening,ripple effect, etc.). I really loved the incorporation of shots from Caspian at the world's end! :)

Very nice video! The timing was nice. Good use of images. The kiss was repetitive though. 8-|

I'm no fan of Suspian, but I suppose it would be a bit hard to make a fanvid of Caspian and Liliandil, wouldn't it? ;)

Once again, good job!

Lucy of Narnia, Thank you!! :D Yes, I just wasn't sure what else to use for the chorus, but next time I make a video I shall try to use a better variety, so as not to repeat myself too much. ;) But thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :) *chuckles* I don't plan on doing a Caspian/Lillandil video anytime soon, your right. :P Not that others can't, mind you, and people already have, but I shan't. ;)

Aravis Autarkeia, Thank you very much! Yes, I am rather found of the flash and fade transisitons. I'm glad you like it! :)

Movie Aristotle, Thanks! Yes, I shall try yo make it less so in my next vid. ;) Actually, Damsel has already seen it and Rather liked it! :D Thank you, again!

*is still watching this video repeatedly* ;)) I love it. I downloaded it, and subscribed to your channel. :) Make more videos!!!! :D

This video has seriously just gotten me through a tough spot in my book. I think that part of the story is all worked out now, thanks to this video. :) If you'd like, I can PM you some of the details of how it helped, if you're curious.

I love the transitions you used too! Did you use Windows Movie Maker? How did you get the video clips?

Again, it's very well put together. It makes me wish I was a Suspian fan. I actually really believe that if you had been the one to direct the scenes in PC involving Suspian, I think a lot more people would have liked it. You have a talent for making videos and a heart for that story. I think you actually would have pulled it off a lot better than the filmmakers did in that particular area. ;)

lover of narnia, Wow!! This video just blew me away! I'm not a Caspian/Susan fan, but this video was so sweet, so touching, so moving!! :) I especially loved the part where Caspian is reaching into the water, and Susan is looking in the mirror (or at the water dividing them, in this case). I also really liked the clip you chose for when the singer sings, "Now I'm on my knees..."
The only thing I would advise is better don't use convoluted or complicated transitions between clips. It's best to stick to fading, either from one clip to the other, or into/from a black screen. That adds professionalism to the video. Other than that, it's great! :)
