Lyrics on AZ Lyrics
I've been thinking about this vid for a long, long time--probably at least five years. I had hoped to be able to premiere it at Vividcon, and I thought my skills as a vidder were finally close to what was necessary when I heard that Vividcon was ending. Whenfairestcat put out a call for premieres for songs of resistance as vidded to Vienna Teng, I knew that this was the best chance I was going to get.
The vid comes at the concept of the vidshow somewhat slantwise, I think (I say, not having watched the vidshow as of this writing), but I am very proud of it. Going back to these movies was an exercise in "WTF were we all thinking?" in many ways; I think really only The Dark Knight holds up, and its politics are extremely questionable. But not as questionable as The Dark Knight Rises, which restages A Tale of Two Cities as a conflict between police and thieves. Well, I know which side I'm on. Bruce Wayne only thinks he does.

Technically, I pulled out all the stops and used 1080p source for all of the movies. I am never doing that again; it wasn't worth the time it took (I had to export the timeline every time I wanted to view it, as my computer, which has never had a problem with vidding before, didn't have enough memory to play back the timeline end to end for longer than about ten seconds) relative to the increase in quality. But it does look pretty! And I am not sad about the different aspect ratios from Christopher Nolan shooting in IMAX; I just wish I had had the IMAX version of TDK too.
