Dead Poets Society fanvid: Mad World

[laene_lif]

New vid, guys! Dead Poets Society! I was feeling bored, and couldn't seem to finish any of my other vids (or write anything) so I started this vid. Finished it very quickly, just a short, easy little vid. The song is extremely overused in fanvids, but it was what I felt like using. I hope you enjoy it. It's, uh, wicked depressing. :D

Watch it here!

It's worrying that I enjoy your DPS vids more than the movie *g*. That was lovely, particularly the cut with Todd looking back (beautifully timed, too) which then went to the empty classroom, and the continuation of that scene at the end of the sequence. I'm trying to remember what those younger boys were doing there - were they first-year students? But anyway, good job.

Thanks. Which younger boys? I included a few. They were all first-years from that whole opening sequence. You probably meant the two boys that had their photograph taken. And, uh, I'm not entirely sure, actually, why they were picture-worthy. It's one of the first shots of the film. The photographer says "Put your arm around your brother" right before it -- so they're brothers, lol. And then, they're at the head of the procession that walks into the ceremony. I don't know why. But I'd assume the younger one was a first-year.

Anyway. Thank you for watching and commenting. :)

Yes, I meant the boys having their photo taken - I coudln't remember them at all, but it does fit in nicely with that kind of 'generations' thing that you were doing with the old boys, and the senior boys, and the junior boys :)

Oh, that song! I love it.
And it's lovely, if so very achy, here.
It makes me want to watch DPS again.

I'm sure I used to have a DPS icon. Have Josh Charles instead.

Thanks. :)

And Josh Charles! I did not know his name! lol Or that he had done anything since DPS. He's adorable. I didn't get much of him in this video, unfortunately. My first DPS vid was all Neil and Todd, and this vid was the same except with a bit more of "Nuanda" thrown in. Needs moar Knox! Maybe next time.

I love it, though that's par for the course with your vids. I really do think that song works well.

And also? I don't know how you could make a DPS vid without it being depressing, because it's pretty much the most depressing movie ever. In a, you know, heartwarming and enlightening way.

lol Thanks. (And eee, I love your Foreman icon!) That's true about DPS being depressing, but I feel like this vid was dwelling on the depressing stuff in it, instead of giving you the whole story, which was ultimately much more uplifting, which is more what I tried to do in my other DPS vid, using Jimmy Eat World.

Omigosh, I nearly cry every time I head that song... It was so perfect - really well done!

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Do you have a download link? Stupid YouTube won't let me see it for copyright reasons.
