New vid: Drumming (Homeland)

[anoel]

Well it's been a long time coming for this one. Basically in the days before Vividcon 2012 I marathoned Homeland in a day and fell in love with it. In the airport going to Vividcon, I heard this song and instantly realized it was the Carrie vidsong I was waiting for. The song is one of my favorite songs from Florence for the emotion and dynamics within it and I connected with it physically for how perfect it was for Carrie. I was so inspired, I started vidding the middle section during Vividcon. When Homeland S2 came back, it inspired me to keep vidding the song but I got sidetracked by my Swan Queen love and then Festivids. I started working on it again after Festivids but didn't end up finishing until before the VidUKon deadline. It was really great to work with a song with so much speed changes and get to vid something a little different from what I usually do. Especially fun is it's for one of my favorite characters ever, I had so much fun falling in love with Carrie all over again with this video.

TWO OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS, HOMELAND AND FLORENCE, COMBINED IN A VID. *flail* I've got goosebumps EVERYWHERE. So intense, SUCH a perfect song for Carrie, and just. Yes. Amazing, amazing vid.

Wow. Just...wow!!!

You really capture Carrie's inner turmoil and the contant inner moremoremore and mustmustmust. I love the moments with the kids and the initial peaceful scenes with Brody, where you slow down, but in the middle of the pnic where she sees and others don't, where the information threaten to overwhelm (and the scenes of her taking down her mad wall collections and the shots of them in general are great there) but she KNOWS and hastohastohasto.

Some songs are just perfect...I don't think i'll ever listen to this one again without thinking of Carrie!!!

Thank you so much for this awesome feedback! That is exactly what I was going for that she has to keep going so much and she can't stop because she KEEPS HEARING IT. Thankfully she has her moments of peace. So glad it worked so well for you :)
