HOUSE FANVID: Everybody Understands

[laene_lif]

Title: Everybody Understands
Song: "Everybody Cares, Everybody Understands" by Elliott Smith
Characters: House & the whole gang
Summary/Notes: I found it a sort of challenging song actually, what with seemingly endless instrumental section at the end and stuff. Some parts of the video are stronger than others, I'd say. But hopefully, for the most part, it works. Eh? Eh?

I actually started working on this before "Meaning" aired, but funnily enough that episode fueled the feelings behind this even more. Basically this video is about House's resentment at constantly getting advice and concern and judgement from the people around him and his fear of being dependent and helpless.

One of the things I always enjoy about your vids is that I can usually 'understand' them first go - the lyrics and the clips always match well together, and this was no exception. The long instrumental at the end was tricky, but I think I mostly got it - his life on and off drugs, and the things that actually worry him. I think. I particularly enjoyed the 'you know nothing about' bit in Cuddy's office.

I noticed the aspect ratio jumped around a bit - was there any particular reason for that? If you have something in the wrong ratio, you can output it as a single clip in the right ratio (in a high quality format) and import it again to use. If you wanted to of course! Anyway, nicely done :)

Thank you. And yeah, the instrumental was... the drugs are part of the feeling of weakness/dependency... He's dependent on people and on the drugs. But the drugs also something that he gets a lot of disaproval about, from Wilson and Cuddy, which - disaproval and meddling from Wilson and Cuddy is a big part of the video. Though it also shows his team having to take care of him or pitying him or questioning him. And then, his parents, too, being disappointed, particularly his father, looking down on the weakness/dependency thing too.

...Yeah, so, that mess right there is what it was all trying to say, lol.

And yeah, I was irritated by the aspect ratio changes too, but I didn't know how to fix them... It seems like what I set it as is what is set for all the clips, but some of the episodes I have are different ratios and end up getting squished. I think I get what you're saying about how to fix it... Hm. Should have done that. I suppose I still could go back and change it.

Well, anyway, thanks!
