SPN-Vid: Dean PoV - Soldiering (Remastered)

posted by [personal profile] astarte at 06:50am on 03/09/2008 under


Artist/Song Title: David Usher - Soldiering
Subject: Supernatural, Dean PoV
Original Date: November 2006
Remastered 2008-09-03
Summary: 'Took you in so far, inhaled till I could not exhale.' Dean always knew his Dad would die for him – he just hoped he didn't have to make that decision.
Format: 720 x 400, 20.5 MB DIVX megaupload, mediafire, sendspace, permanent download link or watch on imeem
or watch the original on imeem

I went into the remastering process thinking, ‚Hey, I already used the DVDs with avisynth and so I only need to replace the season 2 footage.‘ I was wrong on all accounts that count – like my ability to open the old project file. I also didn’t have the edited wav saved separately and well, then I was bummed, but already eager to – you know – remaster this specific vid.

So I started it from scratch and uhm, it took around a week to finish. I didn’t use any eps beyond ‘2x05 Simon Said’ with a tiny exception. If you catch it, I’ll give you a cyber cookie. And the new fun thing I learned is Rotoscoping, [livejournal.com profile] xandra_ptv doesn’t care.

kann es sein das du bei der nummerierung von Parts Unknown durcheinander gekommen bist? Irgendwie fehlt Teil 3 bzw. Teil 4 schließt glaub ich an Teil 2 an.

Also ich habe ja nur zwei Kapitel von ‚Parts Unknown‘ hier auf dem LJ gepostet und die verlinkte Story, wenn du Schwarz auf Weiß‘ folgst hat gerade insgesamt vier Kapitel. Die Reihenfolge stimmt da auch, weil es die Fassung ist, an der ich schreibe. Irgendwie sollte ich mir wirklich wieder Kapitelnummerierungen angewöhnen, anstatt nur Lyrics zum trennen zu verwenden. Heh.

Kein Problem, war auch ein wenig blöd beschriftet.

Uhm, und das ist jetzt wahrscheinlich kein guter Zeitpunkt, um zu sagen, dass die Story gerade auf Eis liegt? *blickt sich nervös um*

Ich habe ja auch schon ein schlechtes Gewissen, Liebes, aber meine Muse hat mich momentan verlassen. Eigentlich sogar beide – ich bin gerade zu unkreativ für Vids und Fics. Le Sigh.

I left a comment on the imeem page for the original when I first watched but I want to leave more detailed feedback because I don't think the one line I wrote then really sums up just how much I adore this video.

I know Jesus Christ is probably your most famous vid and rightly so, it's awesome. But Soldiering On has always been my favourite. The emotional punch when I first saw it was just intense and even now, when I watch it for like the fifty-hundreth time, it still makes my chest ache.

I love that first image of Dean's body arching out of the hospital bed. I love the transition at 0:35 from Dean watching John's corpse burn to him as a child smiling at his father. I love every single image in the clips around 0:38. I love we would walk until we could not crawl. I love how you show Dean's breaking down after John's death at 1:06ish. I love Dean's deep breath around the flames. I love Dean nodding. I love how you show what John left behind.

It’s hard to name favorites among my own vids, but given a choice between watching ‘Jesus Christ’ or ‘Soldiering’, I will pick the later eight times out of ten. So yeah, I agree that this vid for me too packs a harder emotional punch. ‘Jesus Christ’ is a very constructed vid with faith as theme. It exploits a theoretical question with Deans’ emotions as results.

‘Soldiering’ on the other hand drives on the emotional impact of John’s death. The vid comes together much more naturally, a bit similar to ‘My Girl’ in that it just goes with the lyrics. The grief Dean carries feels human and easy accessible. Thank you again for your awesome feedback and I am so thrilled that you loved this video so much, that was wonderful to hear.

This is just so, so gorgeous. I love how quiet it is, such a beautiful character note. *chinhands*

The song really nailed something about Deans loss of his father for me, while still sounding so resolved. I just loved it and hence the reason for the remaster.
