Blow Them At The Moon...

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.

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.
