Vid: Bloody Shirt [Welcome to Night Vale]

Title: Bloody Shirt
Fandom: Welcome to Night Vale
Music: "Bloody Shirt (BASTILLE Remix)" by To Kill A King
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Blood/gore
Summary: Cecil wasn’t the first Night Vale radio host, after all.

Notes: I started working on the very early stages of this in August of last year, but then kind of got overwhelmed by the scope of it and put it on the back burner. Then in February, [personal profile] scribe asked me if I wanted to finish and premiere it at Bitchin' Party (Pacificon), and I was like, uhhhhh, sure??? Why not. Sounds fun! Cut to me a month later, panicking because oh my fucking god why did I decide to vid for a fandom with a non-visual canon, WHAT THE FUCK WAS WRONG WITH ME? After a song change, many hours of tearing my hair out, and one all-nighter, here we are.

Lots of love and thanks to Alex/[tumblr.com profile] maladyofthequotidian for encouraging me from the very beginning to make this and [personal profile] scribe for being the one to actually get me to finish it.

This is absolutely awesome! I really love how the clips work so well together to give the feel of the show.

Thank you so much! I was worried that it would be kind of incoherent, so I'm glad it worked for you!

Saw it again at VVC and wanted to say more. Excellent melding of sources and the clip selection across an endless amount of possibility is fantastic.

The parade of former hosts is chilling, as is the gradual understated build of theme. Gorgeous and impressive.

I was barely 30 seconds in before I started messaging people with the link.

Before I saw this I couldn't quite imagine how to vid Night Vale, and now I can't imagine any other way would be as creative or elegant (or cool). Thank you!
sesquipedaliatic: Crazy. We has it. (Default)

[personal profile] sesquipedaliatic 2014-04-17 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
And now I'm here because of that frantic messaging (which I carried on myself). Such incredibly spectacular work. Thank you for making it!

I saw this at Wiscon, and it's really amazing. It's a great vid, and I'm amazed at the number of sources you managed to integrate into a coherent whole. Awesome!

[personal profile] unfinishedidea 2014-08-03 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you so much! I'm glad that it managed to come across as a coherent whole -- some stuff was definitely a happy accident. Thank you for taking the time to let me know. ♥

I saw this at wincon and find it fantastically creative, spooky and very well done.
Thanks for adding it to the vid show because I don't know if I'd have ever found this (or even looked for a Nightvale vid) on my own. Amazing!

[personal profile] unfinishedidea 2014-10-29 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, wow, thank you so much! Yeah, I would never even have thought to vid Night Vale, but I saw one last year and it just gave me all sorts of ideas.

I don't know how many times I've watched this vid. So well-constructed, so spooky. I love it.

Thank you so much! I've been really overwhelmed with people's response to it, and I'm so glad you liked it. :)

This is so great! The atmosphere is fabulous, and I love all the different Cecils (and the other radio hosts!) You've really captured the feel and aesthetics of the show, in a way that I hadn't quite been able to visualise before watching this.
unfinishedidea: (Default)

[personal profile] unfinishedidea 2015-03-28 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
:D Thank you so much! I tried my best to find a coherent and cohesive aesthetic, and I'm so glad it came together in a way that made sense. <3 (Also, it is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to find clips of radio hosts that also fit with the aesthetic, so I'm glad that worked for you. :D)
