I never thought I'd get up the patience to make one of these, but I've had this song on the brain for a while now, and finally decided to sit down and do something with it.

Please be forewarned that up until a few hours ago, I had never before opened Windows Movie Maker, much less attempted to make a music video. I realize that this is really rough. My apologies for that.

When I think of music videos in this fandom, my mind immediately goes to romantic/waffy ones of our Lois and our Clark, so it comes as a surprise to me, too, that this one is a somewhat downbeat AltClark one. But I guess it's okay because we all know that if we'd gotten a 5th season, he'd have found his Lois.

Without further ado, here's a video set to James Blunt's "You're Beautiful": Right-click/save as .

oh my god!!! this is brillant!

Great video. Matches the lyrics perfect.

I really like the idea of Alt-Clark and Lois, fits the meaning of the song.

Wow.

Nice video! I admit to being biased as I liked that song already. I also think that the "flying high" version is far more appropriate for this video, instead of the, uh, other one

Great choice with alt-Clark. I LOL'd when "she was with another man"...Herb Great touch there. Also liked the interposition of the scenes when he sees Clark.

If this is your first, I can't wait to see what you do in the future!

Nice video, it is another different take. We are seeing more of these "different takes" more often then before, it is a nice change. Keep making more, and you are brave to have crossed into the movie making world. I am still debating it, but I do not want the stress of learning how. LOL. One day I am sure it will happen.

Ooo, I liked this! I like the song, and have been trying to think what I can do, but I don't think I can find anything better. Alt-Clark! Oh, the whole thing just breaks my heart. Very wonderfully done I say =D

aww thats so sweet

Aw! Thats so cute! Hope you make lots more vids cause this one is pretty great! I always love alt-clark vids, poor guy.

I am literally in tears. :sniffle: That was so beautiful!! (no pun intended!) You did an amazing job, poor alt-Clark ... it's just heartwrenching. Hope to see more from you real soon!!

Very different, and sweet. Keep up the good job!

Rach

Thank you, everyone, for the kind words.

And heh, Capes, I hadn't originally planned the Herb thing, but was amused when it worked out that way.

Oddly enough, the song felt completely Alt-Clark/Lois to me. It was interesting to see a different video with S1!Clark/Lois, though -- something that I hadn't thought about at all, but is also very fitting.

I'd encourage you to try it out if you're inspired by anything, Judy. I honestly did not know a *thing* about using WMM when I opened it, but everything is laid out clearly, and it's all very intuitive. You should be able to start making the video in no time.

Chris

This is wonderful. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Tricia

Thanks so much for the feedback, Tricia.

Ooooo thanks so much for this! It's great! Loved it!

Chris!

Oh my gosh - I didn't realize you were the one who made this! To be fair, I first downloaded it at the end of April when I was still brand-new here and didn't know anyone.

My hard drive crashed last month and I've been slowly rebuilding the stuff I miss. I was thinking to myself today "What about that video to 'You're Beautiful' with the alt-Clark?" It was so delightfully angsty and full of unresolved sexual tension.

And, lo and behold, it was yours. Wow! Are you planning to do others? I don't know why you think it was rough - I thought it was fabulous.

Sue

Thanks, DJ.

And thank you, Sue. I'm glad you liked it.

There are about five songs I've been kicking around as possible music video tracks for a while now, and I can see the video clips that can go with them in my head, but the very thought of actually sitting down and putting everything together daunts me. Heh. I'm *way* too lazy, apparently.

Oh that was great and I love that song too!

Jackie

How sharp a stick does it have to be? 'Cause I'll start working on one now...

DJ follows closely behind Sue - lead the way Sue...

Lizz

nice LnC vid!!

wow ... ... that video is absolutely beautiful

Aww! I <loved> that! What a great idea to put it with Alt-Clark. I wouldn't have thought of it, but yet now it seems so obvious and so perfect. I loved that song already and this just made me love it more. Great job!

Laura.
