So, yesterday I was feeling rather narcissistic and sort of pretentious, and on top of that, I really had a hankering to play around with making a fanfic trailer, which I hadn't really done since I wrote stories for Lois and Clark in 2004. What's a fanfic trailer, you might ask? Well, it's like a movie trailer, except it's made for a fanfic. Obviously, there's no super special deep-voiced announcer, but even using silent subtitles, I've seen some pretty crazy good ones over the years. I used to make quite a few of these things for Lois and Clark fanfics. It's always a challenge trying to emulate what's going on in the story using clips from the show. Taking a look or a smile or a scene out of context and editing it to mean what you want... Let me tell you... Lightning Strikes Twice? Really. Hard. To show. Using Grey's clips. I had to cheat just a little itsy bitsy bit for the car crash (which still looks kind of hacked together... PD does not crash in cars in his movies!), and the New York cityscape, but everything else is from Grey's, and overall, I'm really pleased with the result. No Stewart cameo, unfortunately. Or really any family. But I think I managed to capture the essence of the story all the same.
If you want to see what I'm going on about, feel free to
download the trailer. It's 10MB.
In other news, I've been working on part 49. I've gotten a little bit done. 4k words. We'll see how much I can get done today/tonight. I'm hoping to have a finished part for SSBR to edit on Monday night before I leave for Houston and he's off to somewhere not here, but I'm not sure how well my plans will unfold. We'll see :)
