Xof Vid: "Walk The Walk" - Shanghai Knights - Aidan Gillen

[xof1013]

Ok - brace yourselves, I know I am. (Color me nervous as I've been in - YEARS!!!)

I have created my first EVER fan music video...THUD!!! It's a surprise/prezzie for wannabebrit. Sooo surprise, lady!!! (I'll be hiding under the bed whimpering if anyone needs me...lol.)



Title: "Walk The Walk"
Song: Poe
Focus: Lord Rathbone from "Shanghai Knights"
Star: Aidan Gillen, baby!!!
Dedication: To Alexis - hugs lady.
Format: .wmv
Length: 4:24 mins
File Size: 52.5MB

Theme: It's a celebration!!! Movie villian as star of the world!!! Rockin' out, strutting and doing all his evil deeds as he "walks the walk" and "talks the talk" to the "beat of his own drum."

Editor's Note: I've adored, heck - make that figgin' loved Aidan's turn as the baddie in "Shanghai Knights" ever since I and wannabebrit saw the movie together (literally after being in my first ever car wreck that very same day...shiver). It's our favorite boy at his best - beautiful, fun, devilish and kicking some ass with two swords in hand!!!

Also, because I adore his portrayal of Lord Rathbone so much - I decided to change the ending...lol. Hint, there's no spill off Big Ben! Our star baddie remains exactly what he is, the star of his own world...lol. And ours!!!

Pretty please note - I'm scared TO DEATH on this!!! Seriously. I'm a wreck. Soooo, I would adore hearing what you have to say, but I may be reading all feedback posted with one eye closed...lol, through my fingers to boot. Ha... (whimper)...

Lady - I hope this is the gift I meant it to be. You deserve my best effort, so I can only hope this comes close.

Hugs

ETA - Many thanks to Margo for listening to me fall apart over this, esp in the last 24 hrs. And for her suggestions on the ending. It made it all the better.

Wonderful! Delicious! Yum!!

I can't believe this is the first one you've done! Personally, my pet is Craig but I'm perfectly willing to spend an hour or four playing this over...and over...and over...

[xof1013.livejournal.com]

Ha... I'm sure Craig will be patient while you goggle at the screen.

Thank you, glad you liked it.

You already know what I think about it, but what the heck, praise always bears repeating, yeah? Ah, what price praise? (to paraphrase lol - btw, she don't go cheap) It was fabulous! And for a *first* effort, brilliant. You'll note the emphasis on 'first' ... ;-) (Margo - smiling hopefully)

Re: Wow!

Yes, I seem to have gotten the NOT-so subtle hints for more...lol. Thanks for the help.

(Came in off the Aidan group.)

That was fun to watch. I love Lord Rathbone. He is such a sexy badass in that movie. I'm a huge fan of swordplay in films, and that climax scene with him fighting Jackie Chan in the movie just left me with jaw agape. I showed the movie to a bunch of fellow Carver Doone fans, and they thought parts of it were lame, but there was not a peep when that scene came up. I looked at them, and they were all drooling.

Nice job. =)

[xof1013.livejournal.com]

He's completely drool-worthy...lol. Especially in this movie. Sighhh... Sooo pretty, and he completely enjoyed his role, you can tell. hehe...

Ooooh! I saw the graphic (OMG AIDAN GILLEN IS SO HOT!!!) and I had to watch it. Never seen the movie before (never knew he was in it).

I drooled over all this vid.

From an editing point, it wasn't that bad for a first vid.

But from a drool factor, I broke my keyboard :P

[xof1013.livejournal.com]

Ha... I'm still laughing from the "OMG" bit...hehe. You're awfully cute.

Thank you for the feedback, it's very appreciated.

Hahaha. I can be such a fan-girl sometimes lol.

OMG! Aidan looks so hot with a gun! ^^ I haven´t see the movie yet so thanks a lot for the video. He looks great in it!
Even if it was bad I would download the video anyways. =P But it´s not and I would love to see more. :)
I have some episodes of Queer as Folk on my computer and I´ve been thinking of making a video but as soon as I open media movie maker I get tired with all the buttons and give up. I´m so lazy sometimes! ^^ Did you manage to do it all by yourself or did you follow a tutorial? Is it easy?

[xof1013.livejournal.com]

Ha... yes, Aidan is hot with a gun. A sword... A jeep...lol. The man's just hot.

I'm glad you enjoyed the vid. Yes, I did the majority of it myself, and then got some suggestions from Margo on which clip to add to the ending, etc. I read the manual of Windows Movie Maker (the help menu...lol) - and then I found greatttttttt help with tricks here:

Hi there! Here via Aidan Gillen comm and was wondering if you can re-upload this vid to sendspace or megashares (because the links've expired and megaupload doesn't work for me)? I want to start with this one (since it's your first one) and then move on to your next vids :)
