FANVID: Fight Club -- Becoming Insane

[laene_lif]

I hope somebody here has seen and enjoyed Fight Club. Because I made this video and I think it's badass.

Title: Becoming Insane
Song: Becoming Insane -- Infected Mushroom
Description: The main character's emotional, physical and psychological struggle. Can't say more without giving away spoilers. Which, by the way, if you want to avoid for this movie, don't watch this video. Watch the movie and then come back and watch it.
Links: YouTube Link
Imeem Link (best quality)

And here are the lyrics:
Dime todo lo que pasó (Tell me everything that happened)
No me di cuenta ni quién me pegó (I didn't realize what hit me)
Todo da vueltas como un carrusel (Everything gives turns like a carousel)
Locura recorre todita my piel (Insanity crosses all over my skin)

Wake me up before I change again
Remind me the story that I won't get insane
Tell me why it´s always the same
Explain me the reason why I´m so much in pain

Voy perdiendo (I am losing)

I'm becoming insane

WOW. Not only did you choose an absolutely perfect song for this film, this is probably the most sophisticated choreography of image/theme to music that I've ever seen from you. A real thrill ride of a vid, and a perfect complement to Fight Club. Thanks for posting!

Wow, thanks! I'm so happy you enjoyed it that much. This song was a lot of fun to work with because it has so much energy; and the lyrics being so non-specific and repetitive kind of forced the images to be thematic and not literal. (Explicit narrative songs can be harder sometimes, because I always want to follow them closely.) This is actually an edited-down version of the song (not edited by me, by the band for their own official video); the full version is over 8 minutes long (and awesome). If you're curious, you can listen to that here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqHTHUhSOls).

Anyway, thanks again for your lovely comments! :)

Also, Fight Club has such awesome, creative cinematography. That made it fun too. This vid relied heavily on that.

Okay. That was. Pretty fucking badass.

Like the above commenter said, I ttly agree that this is some of your best stuff. Wow. Anyway, it really makes me want to see the movie again (I only saw it once, like, 3 years ago, or something.)

Hee, thank you! :]

I also actually only saw it once, like 3 years ago. lol I watched it with my dad, while we were staying somewhere in NH on a ski weekend. He fell asleep though. :[ lol But my roommate has it here, so I borrowed it and watched it again, because I've long though it could be a fun thing to vid, and then when I heard this song... I knew I had to do it. lol
