Thinking about Slash Vids, Movie Vids & TV Vids

[zephyrprince.livejournal.com]

I've always been really interested in the difference between vids based on tv shows and movie vids. There's been a lot of good meta on this (I wish I could find it to link to but my delicious is failing me at the moment), but basically the gist of things seems to be just that the radically different amount of footage we have to work with from a tv show allows us to do more in a lot of cases (obviously).

So I've been wondering lately about slash vids and whether or not it's one sort of genre that is made more accessible with more footage. I mean I guess if the source is just right (Star Trek XI) then it doesn't matter but the likelyhood of specific dudez having scenes in which they touch or gaze at one another does seem more likely in a TV show with a lot more time to fill. ((I've actually never done a slash vid, which is funny because that's what I'm most interested in fic-wise, but I think I'm just really intimidated by the challenge of it)). ANYWAY, this is getting ramble-ish but the bottom line is that I was looking through my vid folders and couldn't find very many movie vids in my own collection that are slash or femmeslash and I was wondering if others had ones that came immediately to mind.

I tend to vid from movie source a lot, and like the challenge of not having as many clips to rip from a specific source. I actually find it forces me to be more creative, and I usually tend to rip from other sources to create a coherent narrative--which in this case would be a slash pairing.

Just to show you what I mean, I created a slash vid for a fictional relationship between Lex Luthor (from Smallville) and Bruce Wayne from Batman Begins (TDK wasnt out at the time I made the vid.) Since the actors Michael Rosenbaum and Christian Bale had never worked together at all in any movie or film, the vid is completed constructed reality, and I simply implemented clips from different projects they each have worked on to make it appear as though they were involved in a slash relationship.

If you're curious about the end project you can see it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEpLcl3DWD8

(and I will warn that the vid is pretty 'adult' in nature.)
