oh you will live in the stars
Umm, hello. I keep forgetting to post this! Whoops.

This vid premiered in the Premieres vidshow at VividCon this year. Many thanks to [info]f1renze for sending me the song and betaing and just generally holding my hand through the making of this vid. Thank you also to all those who let me know their thoughts on it, who offered critique and support, and were just, in general, very nice and cool about everything.

Scared
Song by the Tragically Hip
Summary: He wasn't sure he was getting through.
Contains spoilers for all episodes of Firefly.

I could make you scared
if you want me to,
I'm not prepared, but if I have to
He said, I can make you scared
it's kinda what I do
If you're prepared,
here's what I propose to do

You're in Russia
and more than a million works of art
are whisked out to the woods
So when the Nazis
find the whole place dark
They'd think god's
left the museum for good

I make you scared, if that's what I do
If you're prepared, if I have to
If I make you scared and you pay me to
If that's the deal
now here's what I can do for you

Now there's a focus group
that can prove
this is all nothing
but cold calculation

If you make me scared,
if that's what you do
If I'm unclear
can I get out of this thing
with me and you
If you feel scared, a bit confused
I gotta say
this sounds a little beyond
anything I'm used to

Now there's a precious few
that can prove that at the root
This is all nothing but a cold calculation

OK you made me scared,
you did what you set out to do
I'm not prepared, really had me
going there for a minute or two
He said, you made me scared too
I wasn't sure I was getting through
I gotta go, it's been a pleasure
doing business with you.

I found the link to this through the vividcon site.

Just wanted to say I really like it - I've only watched it through once but will definitely be watching it over and over again. I really liked that it started out fairly one-dimensional, but opened up to show lots of different facets of Mal's character and relationships. The black & white pauses were effective too, and not overdone, and the tone of the music was a great fit with the show. Thanks for sharing!

omg, I love this vid!

A friend sent it to me and I can't stop watching it. My favorite Firefly vid yet!

Have you made any other Firefly vids? I paged back through the archives but didn't see any, so I thought I'd ask.

Thanks so much for posting this. It's awesome.

Again, here via [info]vividcon.

I really like the way you've illustrated the different facets of Mal. The song is a great contrast to the clips--it's relatively gentle, but the action of the vid never really slows down. Nicely done.

That has to be the most beautiful Mal/Firefly vid I've ever seen. The editing was perfect and the song you chose gave me goose bumps. Thanks for sharing.

I have NO IDEA how I missed this the first time, but [info]meivocis pointed me here and I'm so glad she did. Wow! This is a fantastic Mal vid, with great timing and editing. Also, the song rocks.

A friend of mine showed this to me, a Mal RPer, and I liked it a lot. Kudos.

Here from [info]the_reel with very, very, late feedback.

Just to unsophistcatedly say that I like this a lot - such an affectionate character study of Mal with lots of nifty insights (especially loved the cuts on "focus group" and "precious few").

I've never seen a vid that showed Mal in quite this light. I like!
