Wilson fanvid: How to Save a Life

Dedicated to secondsilk because she answered this post. :)

I have finished another video! And I'm pretty happy with it. It's far from perfect - the wide screen/full screen thing is a bit irritating, not to mention the fact that I do not have "Tape" and decided to go ahead and just use stills from it... (I wouldn't have even known it existed if not for daasgrrl.)

So, the video is to "How to Save a Life" by The Fray. And it's full of Wilson!Angst. Basic premise: Wilson remembers his long-lost brother and tries to sort of make up for it with his friendship with House, trying to keep anything similar from happening to him.

Also, I've, uh, gone ahead and cast Ethan Hawke as Wilson's brother. :)

Oooh, great. I've got to tell you something- I've had this deep, unyielding wish for the powers that be to cast Ethan as Teh Lost Bro since I first saw DPS. So this was very cool to see done. Good choice of song and clips, and the flow of the whole video itself was very nice.

You know what's interesting? The still frames actually went really well with the music and style of the video somehow- if I hadn't known the reasoning behind it, I might have just thought you chose to do it that way :-) Plus, I'm not sure if you've seen Tape, but watching RSL and Ethan's characters interacting in that really is like watching an R rated version of Wilson and House. Having those scenes in my head added to the comparison.
Well done!

Heh, I don't know why it didn't occur to me earlier to use him. Maybe it did, just not so strongly. Hearing this song, remembering watching the trailer for Tape, and of course, having seen DPS, once the idea hit me, I couldn't resist. It was too perfect.

I'm glad you thougth the still frames worked. I did try to fit them to the music and stuff. I haven't seen Tape, no, though I watched the Trailer - which I took screencaps from - and I gathered the H/W-ishness from that. Heh. And as I said, I couldn't resist making him the brother then.

Thanks for watching and commenting!

And nice icon. :)
