Hi all! I'm relatively new to this board. I've been lurking here for a few months, though, and when I saw all these impressive videos, it kind of made me want to try one for myself.

I've never (ever!) created a video before, and it was a really challenge to learn about DVD ripping and dealing with Windows Movie Maker, but here's my first effort, "How to Save a Life," with music by The Fray. (I've been trying to complete a fic forever and thought maybe this would help work past the writer's block.) This is a story told from Lois's point of view in "That Old Gang of Mine." I'm completely new to the fandom, but from what I've gathered, this episode is pretty often revisited, and I hate to be derivative, but it's just such a great episode. Anyway, thanks!

How to Save a Life

Wow! Your first vid? Excellent job!

Favorite parts:

"Step one you say we need to talk..." That was a super match for the scenes you picked, especially with Lois sitting down on the bench in time for "... You sit down, it's just a talk."

"As he goes left and you stay right..." Again, great match!

"Let him know that you know best, after all, you do know best"--so Lois!

Every match for "I would have stayed up with you all night". Love!

I hope we'll see more from you in the future. Welcome to the fandom! This is definitely a great way to introduce yourself.

Wow!

First, welcome to the board

Then, congratulations! For your first post, and for your first video, you did really great! Very sweet and touching. I liked your video. I hope you'll do even more in future

Oh wow oh wow! I loved the vid. Great job! This was your first one? How amazing!

Welcome to the boards. I hope you get that muse wrangled into submission. We'll be looking forward to your post.

Thank you for sharing this vid. It was very well done and I look forward to more from you in the future.

Nora, what a great video! It was so crisp and clean, I never would have guessed that it was your first. I hope you grace us with more soon!

And please do upload it to the video archive .

Nora,

Yes, please, upload it to the archive and do it SOON! I can only download vids at work since I have a superslow dial-up at home and my &*^%$ firewall here blocks the site you have the video stored on.

Grrrrrrr.

I totally squealed when I saw the title. <g> I love this song. Please, please send it to the video archive so I can view it!

Welcome,
JD

Thank you all very much for your kind words and welcome. I'm glad that you enjoyed my (admittedly choppy) first effort. (Windows Movie Maker is a harsh mistress. ) Thanks, C_A, for the comments; I just absolutely love your Chevaliers de Sangreal video, so your nice words mean a lot.

As for uploading it to the archive, it's kind of a humungous (30 MB) file that exceeds the site's requested limit. Maybe I should e-mail, though, as they suggest for large files?

There was nothing choppy about this video. Outstanding!

Ummm no, that was NOT choppy. I finally bit the bullet and just downloaded it and forgot about it for a while so it could download.



Why do I torture myself so with TOGOM.

Anyway, I loved it.

Great video! I agree with everyone else - an impressive first video! The Fray is a wonderful band - everyone should run out and buy their CD if you don't already have it.

I was just thinking this would be an awesome L&C video.

Wow if this is your first I can't wait to see what you have next!

I love the concept of the video, truly amazing. And I love when Lois punches Trask then you flash to the shooting of Clark scene. Loved it.

More soon!

I can't download it cause it says I have reached the download limit. I'm not familiar with Rapid Share. Anyone know what I'm supposed to do?

I have to say I am so excited to see this!! I am from Denver and have been a fan of The Frays for probably two years now, and have been so happy that they hit it big, now I have a music video of my favorite band in with my favorite show! It's a great day!!

Thanks!!

Yay! I got it to work. OMG! That was great!

Jackie

Please upload it to the archive. I never can get that site to work. No matter how long I wait, I never get to see anything...and I adore that song so I can't wait to see what you've done with it.

Wow this was so great. Perfect video.

Off to watch it again. Loved the scenes you choose for it.

The file has been deleted?

I can't download it because it says the file has been deleted. Try asking one of the folks how they do it so the file is actually posted here instead of being hosted.

A new link for this one can be found here

Thank you, LabRat. I think my link was broken in my other post, so the corrected link for "How to Save a Life" is actually:

How to Save a Life

Thanks!

Nora, a wonderful video! How to Save a Life is one of my favorite songs and it's very fitting with the TOGOM arc!

Considering the fact that half a year ago I didn't even had the slightest clue what TOGOM actually means, I think I'm now on the safe side to say that I've read and watched lots of stories and videos about it .

And ever since I've heard the song "How to save a life" for the first time in a fanfic-trailer (I think it was "For the greater good" ...) I just love this song.

Nice job

TOGOM is an episode I absolutely love and I love the video you made for it!! I like how the lyriks matches the scenes like: "As he goes left and you stay right..." and a couple more I loved!

Awesome video! You did a phenomenal job at matching the lyrics with the clips. Wonderful clip selection. I really enjoyed it!
