Well, I swore I wasn't going to do another one of these until I had finished some writing, but this one wouldn't leave my system so I did it anyways smile

The song on the base track is Nara, by E.S. Posthumus.

I hope you all enjoy this one! And thank you, Yvonne, for making a completely enthralling story that I've reread time and time again smile

Amazing, Aria.

The music is perfect. The mood is just right. This is one of my all time favorite fics. What a gorgeous job you did with it!

I love this trailer ! Very good. I just read the fanfic a few days ago, and the trailer is exactly what he had to be. Congratulations. It's a very good job.

But I'm surprised you had not used the scene when Lois and Clark are in bed, kissing, and Clark stop Lois and say "What about protection, honey ?". I think that scene of the show would have been right in this trailer.

P.S. RealVideo version available here .

Oh, WOW! Diane, that was just wonderful! You found *just* the right scenes to make it flow seamlessly through Clark's emotional trials during this story. I loved it. Every minute. It built up the tension so well, too - that music was perfect. smile

And, by golly, you almost made *me* want to read the story, and that's saying something. laugh

Oh, and I can't believe how long that opening kiss lasts! Wow! Or how steamy that scene from...um...the virtual reality ep was. Yikes, clothes came off! I'd forgotten that. blush

Funny how that was one of the episodes Dean Cain himself wrote. Ooh, I'll just give myself a scene where I and my co-star roll around a bed and strip off our clothes... wink

Anyway, thank you, thank you, thank you! smile1

Holy crap. <g> That is one fabulous trailer, Aria! I always love the ones that feel like real trailers the best and this one definitely qualifies! Very, very well done. I'm so impressed! The clips are great, but the music is absolutely perfect, how it builds as the trailer goes on. Wow!

It makes even wimpy ol' me want to read this story. <bg>

Ok I was in mirc talking about "I don't watch trailers anymore." This trailer is exactly why I *should* watch them. This was the best trailer I've seen in a long time. I love the camera part! That sticks out in my head. So anyway great job!

That 'protection' scene is at the start of the Vixen ep - but they're not in bed. They're on the kitchen floor, post-activity. wink I'm not sure if it's Clark or Lois who says it, though.

Or Poussin may have meant the scene where they are in bed and discuss contraception - don't remember if it's at the end of Vixen, but it's at the end of one of the Lex Files episodes, anyway. I think. Seem to recall they're talking at the start of the scene about Vixen being dead.

As I recall it, they're in bed, kissing, Clark pulls back, wonders if he should go deal with the contraception issue...hazy after that...Lois stops him, says it's fine?

Well, the scripts were no help tracking it down,this time, as the scene in question is markedly different from what we saw on screen.

Tell me I'm not making this up... laugh

LabRat smile (who wouldn't trust her memory on anything right now...)
Posted By: YConnell Re: FFT: Purity - 06/08/05 05:18 PM
Rat, I think you're right - it's at the end of the Vixen episode. It's the companion scene to the opening, when they realise they *forgot* contraception (I think).

Posted By: Doranwen Re: FFT: Purity - 06/08/05 05:19 PM
Ooooooo . . . Excellent trailer, as usual! The music is perfect as the drama builds, and the picture taking clips were excellent editing. laugh It brought back vivid memories of reading the fic.
Posted By: Poussin Re: FFT: Purity - 06/09/05 05:04 AM
Yes, LabRat, You're right. That's the scene I'm talking about. It's the scene just before the last scene in the episode "Faster than a speeding Vixen" (4.17).
Clark and Lois are in bed, kissing. Then Clark stop Lois and said "what about protection, honey ? You want me to..." and Lois turn towards the nighstand and said "no, no, I got it", while Clark turn off the lights.

Talk about making one's skin crawl! It is perfect for one of Yvonne's stories.

[Linked Image] Fantastic trailer! thumbsup Purity is on the top of my favourite fics, and this trailer is superb! [Linked Image] Perfect music and perfect scenes! hail Just the better! [Linked Image]

I'd say more, but just now I need to run and read this story again... [Linked Image]

Posted By: Aria Re: FFT: Purity - 06/11/05 01:12 PM
Thank you for the additional feedback guys smile

I did go back and look at the end of Vixen, and you're absolutely right! There is a discussion about protection. If I happen to go on a revision spree I will definitely consider adding this in. Thank you for pointing it out to me smile
Posted By: LabRat Re: FFT: Purity - 06/13/05 10:16 AM
Well, hey, a trailer for a fanfic I've actually read! laugh

And...

...I'm speechless.

Well, almost.

This has to be one of the most perfect matches of fanfic and trailer that I've yet seen. Absolutely awesome, Diane!

So many inspired touches, too many to mention really, but the way you've denoted them being spied on, the original use of the clips you've chosen to tell the story, the music which just perfectly sets the atmosphere...well, all I can do is thumbsup

WOWIE!!!!! I nearly forgot to breathe while watching this, Diane!!! Egads!!! Again with the music and the title cards!!! Just wonderful!! I have to ditto Kathy here because she said exactly what I couldn't find the words to say:

One thing... I know that song has been used for movie trailers... any that you know off hand? Because it's bugging me now. <g>

Oh, one more thing... I think you mentioned in the post for another trailer that you were using movie scores that WMM (or WMP?) provided?? If I remembered that right, *where* are these?!

Great job, Diane!!! Keep it up!! Please!! grovel

Sara laugh
Posted By: Aria Re: FFT: Purity - 06/26/05 03:37 AM
Wow, thanks for all the additional feedback smile

Sara, the song I used for this particular trailer was also used in the Unfaithful (2002) trailer, Vanity Fair (2004) trailer, and a few other things. Also, I think it's the theme song for some show on NBC?

I use music from my own collectionm, which admitedly is kinda large smile As far as I know, WMM doesn't include anything in the package. I think you might have misinterpreted what I said here:

I wanted to experiment a little with the use of the sound tracks movie maker provides.
I meant using the project tracks you can stick sound in. Not soundtracks smile If that makes any sense. I'm kinda sleep-deprived at the moment smile

One resource I do like to hit up a lot is here though: http://www.soundtrack.net/trailers/ It's fairly comprehensive. And very helpful for identifying just what exactly that song you heard for that trailer at some point was.

Diane - Wow!

Ok, I realize this thread ended last summer, but unfortnately I just recently found this fandom - I wasn't around back then.

So I'm gonna post my comments anyway.

This trailer was AWESOME! smile1

You've made me want to go and catch up on some reading now!

Thanks for this and thanks for all your help Diane! thumbsup

Yeah, me, too. I've just been reading the fics, really, because I'm here for the fics. But I'm glad this caught my attention, because it was extremely well done. It sure felt like a trailer for a real episode, and it was steamy, romantic and scary all at once.
