House music video #2

A NEW HOUSE VID!

That was the link at yousendit.com. Here it is at youtube if you'd rather.

It's to "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd and I made it basically just because I really, really wanted someone to make a House vid to that song. I think my Staind video might be a little better, but... oh well. It's basically the same idea as the last one: House is depressed. Except that "It's Been a While" is about reflection and realizing that maybe it's time to change because "OMG life sux right now!" you know? Whereas "Comfortably Numb" is much creepier and edgier and the general attitude is, "Well, living sort of sucks but it doesn't matter... I don't care about anything... so just leave me alone... I know I'm messed up, leave me alone." It's about resignation and denial and dissociation... And in the video I use other patients to sort of represent House symbolically... as they often do in the show, really. But at the same time, he's the doctor as well... House = patient and doctor. Alright? "It's Been a While" was more of a narrative, while "Comfortably Numb" is more about a state of mind... (I'm just talking shit now. The video's crap - but please watch it?)

Tell me what you think. I'm going to fix it up afterward, because it needs help.

I really liked it Dube! The transitions and clips you used were really good~ And I like the motorcyle part at the begining of the solo. (PS: I love this song)

once again, really good job. you've even matched up blinks with the music. i don't think i'd have the patience to do something like that, so i think it's really cool.

ps, want to see something eerie?? it's BBC lucy! (http://img513.imageshack.us/my.php?image=lcucyadult7va.png)

And thanks for watching the video. It does take patience, but when you're as ridiculously obsessive about certain things like me... Shrug. Seriously though, you should see some people. Here, I'll share some of di_br's stuff (she's on my friends list). Her videos are insane. So many clips, so fast, in perfect sync with the music, and coming together to really say something, and just. Man.

Fast and fun House video (http://www.angelfire.com/poetry/getthecool/). To "Get the Cool" by the Gorillaz.

House/Stacy video (http://www.angelfire.com/poetry/walkaway/) to "Walk Away" by Jimmy Eat World.

And finally, a video that has all her Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter videos: Return to Innocence (http://return.bohemian-dreams.net/).

oh, by the way, just wanted to let you know about an older crush i've come to terms with: anderson cooper. i know, i usually fall for ridiculously young boys, but what can i say, i am physically attracted to him. thoughts?

Not familiar with him, but googled for pictures. He looks familiar. And yeah, he's attractive. But as I don't really know anything about him, I can't say much about it. Older guys need to grow on me before I really develop a crush. First time I saw House, I wasn't attracted to him. And then... Well. Now, if I ran into House on the street, (or... Hugh Laurie) I'd jump him in a second. (By which I mean, of course, I would blush and smile stupidly.)

P.S. I watched a good deal of the Pevensies + Adamson commentary today. lol. Good stuff.

lol it's ok. Uh, I found out the specifics on edline. And.. I mean, it's been mentioned briefly at school. Kind of in the abstract. And not much lately, but. You know. But they're not selling tickets or anything yet. Don't worry.
