Starships clips & lyrics

[bironic]

cinco mentioned last night that a few people would indeed like a way to find out where all the clips in Starships came from because so many of them go by so quickly and/or because some of them are from less popular sources. Since it would be just as hard to ID everything at speed in a caption track, below is a reference to all the clips alongside the lyrics. I hope the table format is not too hard to parse.

(Also, I just took the plunge and posted the vid to YouTube. Have been afraid of takedown notices, but nothing bad has happened so far on Vimeo, so. We'll see what happens beyond the automated "content match/blocked in some countries/you may see ads" notice that's already come in.)

THE END

 

 

Yup—that's ~257 clips, twice as many as my Jurassic Park vid of the same length (134 clips). Whew!

I am so proud of myself for the number of those I identified myself. And incredibly impressed with your stunning 257-clip multifandom vid, not least how you put it together so quickly, as I recall.

[bironic.livejournal.com]

Short deadline = less opportunity to overwork and screw it up, methinks! Hooray for your source familiarity and for space and for generally everything because these sources make me feel peaceful with the world.

/dork

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

No wonder you laugh at my "What do you mean, I need shorter clips?" attitude. \o/ You are amazing!

[bironic.livejournal.com]

♥ To each vidder (and each vid) their own style!

[jetpack-monkey.livejournal.com]

I may need to borrow this format for a thing I am working on.

[bironic.livejournal.com]

By all means! Let me know if it would be helpful to share the table code to reduce some of the tediousness.

[talitha78.livejournal.com]

I hadn't watched this vid since it premiered, and now seeing it again on YouTube, I'm really blown away by it, and all the little details I missed while I was dancing. Fantastic work!

[bironic.livejournal.com]

That is really cool to hear. Thank you, and thanks for stopping by again to say so.

[daasgrrl.livejournal.com]

Just to say I was prompted to watch this again, and I appreciated the beauty of the timing and clip choice sequencing so much more this time - honestly, the first time was half-filled with 'this is cool but I hate the song', lol. Some of the timing was just perfect, and the whole sequences of, idk, vapour trails and spherical objects and wormhole things were a lot of fun. Still my favourite shot: Wall-E reaching up to 'touch the sky' XD

Looks great even on Youtube, and I am awed at the number of clips you used!

[bironic.livejournal.com]

Looks great even on Youtube

LOL. I am, as they say in countries that aren't mine, so chuffed that you gave it another watch despite your opinion on the song :) and that some of the sequencing stood out to you. This is I think one of the most structured vids I've done to date. And yay WALL-E. It's still neat and yet I guess unsurprising to find that one of the first moments I pictured being in the vid has some of the most resonance for viewers.

[silsbee329.livejournal.com]

Just stopping by to tell you that I love this vid. It is so much fun. :)

[bironic.livejournal.com]

Aww, yay. Thanks!

♥ space sources ♥

[suzvoy.livejournal.com]

This is AMAZING! I'm so glad I stumbled across it :D :D :D

Do you know if there's a tumblr post? If not, do you mind if I make one - giving you full credit, of course :D

[bironic.livejournal.com]

Hello! Thanks so much for your comment - glad you enjoyed!

I do not know if there's a Tumblr post for the vid. You would certainly be welcome to make one. Cool.

[anatsuno.livejournal.com]

Tell me again how long you took to make this vid? *____*

Still one of my favorite pick-me up evER. <3

[bironic.livejournal.com]

♥

Hm - *checks last year's post when the vid was first finished* - nine evenings and two Sundays. Whew.

And thank you for the links! There've been a ton of comments on YouTube, Vimeo and the LJ post yesterday and today and it's good to know where everyone is coming from!

[anatsuno.livejournal.com]

Also, I came across this post (http://www.themarysue.com/niki-minaj-starships-video-with-starships/) which linked to this one (http://touchdownpossum.tumblr.com/post/30606409390/password-starships-one-of-the-best-fanvids-ive) and thought I'd tell you it's on tumblr already. :)

[bironic.livejournal.com]

p.s. I just saw your comment to The Mary Sue's post, and thank you. That was a really sweet and assertive thing to do. ♥

[anatsuno.livejournal.com]

I'm glad. I hesitated a little bc some fen prefer less publicity, but this fashion of pushing stuff in the limelight as though it was creator-less is very annoying and I didn't want to put up with it. <33

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I just saw this due to tumblr, and had to tell you it's amazing! I love it!

[bironic.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

Just saw this on tumblr because of reasons (and anatsuno) and I love every moment of this lovable thing. A+ have downloaded will watch again lots. <3

[bironic.livejournal.com]

Hey, hooray. Thanks for stopping by to say so!

[jouissant.livejournal.com]

Absolutely my favorite vid ever. It's awesome. Makes me want to dance, fist pump, and happy cry all at once.

[bironic.livejournal.com]

That is so great to hear! Thank you very much.

[ogregev.livejournal.com]

For the line "My name is Onika", I can't believe you showed a pic of Sulu instead of a pic of 7 of 9. Her pre-Borg name was Annika Hansen.

Truly awesome vid. Thank you for making my day.

[bironic.livejournal.com]

Annika/Seven would also have been a good match. I chose TOS/Reboot Sulu because he's a pilot and the vid is about flying. :)
