Xof Vid: "You're The One" - Aidan Gillen - Multiple

[xof1013]

Vid #14 -

Consider this one "All Aidan, All The Time"...lol.

Seventeen roles, seventeen movies/shows - and over ten years of talent.

This *IS* the man, his work and all things about him that we adore!



Title: "You're The One"
Song: Tracy Chapman
Vidder: Xof
Focus: Many Characters
Star: Aidan Gillen, baby!!!
Rating: PG
Format: .wmv
Length: 3:39 mins
File Size: 22.48 MB

Theme: A vid retrospective of why Aidan Gillen is "The One!"

Editor's Note: I've always wanted to do a montage video of clips from some of Aidan's best and/or rarest roles. One - it's amazing to see how each character differs from the others, while still being played by the same talented man. Two - EYECANDY! lol... Three - This is a way to showcase both the man and his projects in a way that you would rarely see. Sampled right before your eyes are some of the hardest to find footage from his earliest days - to his most recent roles.

Footage From (In Order of Appearance): Walk Away & I Stumble, Buddy Boy, Safe, UK Queer As Folk, Burning The Bed, Trouble With Sex, Poirot: Five Little Pigs, Shanghai Knights, Lorna Doone, Circle Of Friends, Gold In The Streets, First Communion Day, Photo Finish, Some Mother's Son, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, The Wire, In Suspicious Circumstances - If you are interested in seeing pictures from any or all of the above, please visit The Aidan Gillen/Craig Kelly Photo Archive.

Song Choice: The song is a favorite. I've seen it used in more than one fandom, and it works well in all of them. But truly, when I heard the lyrics - it just cried out for me to use in this type of video. Because I could *see* the clips falling into place to lyrics like "low class royalty" - "bum on the street" - etc. The b*tch was the timing of the clips - that took a trick or two...lol. (eek!) But I think I got it done!

Dedication: To Margo - who needed a reason to smile. May this lighten up your dark days, hugs.

What a wonderful thing to wake up to! Thank you, it truly did light my darkness. I think this is your best match of lyrics to image to date , especially given the multiples. I was in bit of a haze when I first watched it, and not thinking too clearly ... my mind was mostly on just *watching* the man, and remembering the roles the images were from, when even through my *duh-ness* I kept noticing that words kept lining up with images. lol So I'd say, yeah ya done good lady ... even through my fog, I got it! Twas lovely, all of it, lovely - to quote a certain SAJ. Hugs - Margo

I think this is my fave vid so far. He's got such a range and I like being able to see him through so many different roles. I've never seen many of these movies, but I love being able to get at least a taste of Aiden from each. Thanks.

Thanks, but I don't belong to Netflix or other clubs like that. I'll just keep looking out and catching your vids. *g*

Definitely a masterpiece! And such a nice thing to warm up with after the winter front that blew in yesterday.
