Lyrics
It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes You're paralyzed 'Cause this is thriller, thriller night And no one's gonna save you from the beast about strike You know it's thriller, thriller night So let me hold you tight and share a Killer, diller, chiller, thriller here tonight (I'm gonna thrill ya tonight) Darkness falls across the land The midnight hour is close at hand Creatures crawl in search of blood To terrorize y'alls neighborhood And Whosoever Shall Be Found Without The Soul For Getting Down Must Stand And Face The Hounds Of Hell And Rot Inside A Corpse's Shell I'm gonna thrill ya tonight, ooh baby I'm gonna thrill ya tonight, oh darlin' Thriller night, baby, ooh! The foulest stench is in the air The funk of forty thousand years And grizzly ghouls from every tomb Are closing in to seal your doom And though you fight to stay alive Your body starts to shiver For no mere mortal can resist The evil of the thriller
Notes
I was surprised that the song didn't seem to have been used for CVV ever in the past, considering that it's so dancey and viddable. It was definitely fun to vid though I had to rush this due to deadline and personnal schedule that prevented me from vidding much, so the end result isn't really what I had in mind at first. But it's for dancing so I guess it works.
The lip-sync part and the dancing were definitely my first ideas for the vid and what motivated me to do it, though it ended up being a nightmare on the lip-sync front. As much as the dancing-demon was, can you believe he isn't saying ONE fucking word that appears in the song's lyrics ? Seriously, man, a little help would have been nice. So this part proved very difficult to edit and I'm not sure it works that well. one of the issue being I'm not a native english here and I'm not sure my "standards" of what lip-movement/sounds works or not are the same as a native... *shrugs*
I was surprised the supernatural/buffy sources mixed so well considering the difference in aesthetics and overall athmosphere, but I'm glad I used both.

Lyrics
I'm a new soul, I came to this strange world, hoping I could learn a bit 'bout how to give and take. But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear, finding myself making every possible mistake. La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la... I'm a young soul, in this very strange world, hoping I could learn a bit 'bout what is true and fake. But why all this hate? Try to communicate; finding just and love is not always easy to make. La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la... This is a happy end, 'cause you don't understand everything you have done. Why's everything so wrong? This is a happy end, come and give me your hand, I'll take you far away. I'm a new soul, I came to this strange world, hoping I could learn a bit 'bout how to give and take. But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear, finding myself making every possible mistake. [La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...]
Notes
I started this vid a year ago, and half way through the vid, this song became such a huge hit that hearing it made me sick. I usually try to vid not so famous songs for that reason. But since Edward Scissohands is probably my favourite movie ever, and that scene in the snow probably emcompass everything I feel about the beauty of life. So I had to finish it at one point. But that's why it took so long.
I don't even know how I feel about this vid anymore because I just can't see it really. not that you care. but I hope it's still enjoyable.
This was still fun to do just because my god, the source is so static. and doing this after vidding Heroes and BSG, that's quite a change. But it was fun to do for that reason too.
Otherwise, this is just a vid where the song does it all, it's so perfect for Edward IMO, it's just so sad and beautiful how this character came to the world with so much love only to be rejected. and in the end, all that's left is the beauty of his spirit and how it remains intact. I found this so poetic and beautiful.

Lyrics
Sun is rising up on the the east side A chance for everyone I've been dreaming of the city for long time Far from my own town (You) I see (Will see) My dream (Your dream) For real (Come true) (You) I will (Will rise) Will rise (Above) Above (The rules) (Love release our mind, you are what we want) Heart is pure and thoughts are clear Not gonna mess around (Time has taken our life you are what we need) Mum and Daddy will be so proud City please don't let me down Starlight Can you give me the fame Can you tell me the game Oh oh starlight (Starlight have what you need) (repeat)
Notes
I love dance and watching dance so it was really fun to make. I struggled a lot with the cuts and how much clips I could throw in there to keep up with the song without making people's eyes hurt from too much cuts. So I used this vid to work on continued motion between cuts, whether internal or external motion and make the transitions more organic. Ironically, I've spent more time working on this vid despite its really simple content, than on one of my premiere. go figure.
