true love hits you in the plums
A fanvid for Top Gear presenters Jeremy Clarkson and James May, set to "Pretend To Be Nice" by Josie and the Pussycats. This is the one where adoration equals attempting to murder each other… humorously.

download links: avi (xvid) | mp4 (mobile device-compatible)

notes: While I've done some video editing for school, this is the first fanvid I've ever done. The idea for this started when I noticed that Comedic Sociopathy was added to Top Gear's TV Tropes entry, and it kinda ran away from there. Plus, there was all the mocking and insulting going on between Clarkson and May in the show, other people's shows, their newspaper columns, interviews, etc. This, logic dictates, must be love. Or prelude to a horrible incident somewhere in a portakabin in Dunsfold.

technical info: Everything was put together in Vegas Pro 9 and VirtualDub. No fancy effects or transitions, just familiarizing myself with the software and audiovisual timing. Clip quality fluctuates due to the variety of source material (HDTV, HQ, TV-quality, some dodgy DVD rips). For best results, view with VLC player.

Damn you, you posted a link to TV Tropes!

90 minutes later (I'm in a Malaysian internet cafe, no less), I've just reclaimed my brain and am now going to watch your songvid.

Hee! I was actually wondering if I should've put in "warning: TV Tropes reference". Clearly, I should have :D

i believe TV Tropes should always be warned for (caution: will eat your brain), but maybe that's just me. *g*

Sadly, because I'm still in aforesaid Malaysian internet cafe I should have thought to start your video loading before I clicked the TV Tropes link. It's only loaded 1/3 since I posted my last comment.

Okay, I give up! The first 60% of your songvid is brilliant. The very concept of your songvid is also amazing.

The rest won't load for love or money. *sigh* *sporks Malaysian telecommunications network*

Oh man, that sucks :(

But thank you for the lovely words! I'm glad you enjoyed what you've seen of it :D
