Season 1 of XF was very important to me. It was one of the first shows (if not THE first) that I ever started watching right from the beginning, week to week, and I shared that season with a dear friend of mine. Scully was absolutely my favorite thing about it, and the thing my childhood friend and I connected over, and seeing these images again reminds me of how excited I was by the show in those days. I loved how dark (literally and figuratively) it was, and I'd always watched "old" TV (became a Star Trek fan decades after the show was on the air; watched other shows only when they were over) so S1 XF was really intense for me. This vid captures everything about how the show affected me back then, and I love it so much.
I'll stop nattering now! No need to respond to this. :) I'm just so glad you made it.
I watched ST with my dad since I was 7 or so, but TXF were my first evening show. The pilot aired here in Germany when I was 14 and pulled me in. It was exactly the show I didn't know I was waiting for. It was magic, so Monday nights were set. I can absolutely relate to your story, I remember talking about it with my friends in school and like you, Scully was my favorite. She could do no wrong and I loved her rationality, curiosity and courage to face things that she had to explain to herself. And the cliffhangers were the worst, especially once the mythology took off. The whole uncertainty were the show was going, was just so exciting and the dark turns could induce goosebumps. It was the first show I felt fannish enough about to buy books and ep guides for it.
I love your vidding aesthetic, so much. I've been a huge, huge fan of yours ever since your SPN vid "What's It Feel Like to Be a Ghost," which is still my single favorite vid of all time. (/apropos of nothing except fangirling)
Hehe, I loved making 'To be a Ghost' - it was a vidding high. I tried the alpha mask in one scene, after that I suddenly had enough room on my timeline to include clip alternatives and the song worked fantastic with the effect and Dean. Good times.
