When The Sun Goes Down
Brian/Justin (Relationship/Club Style)
Made in November 2007
Brian/Justin. Dancin' and Lovin'. The clubbing life. A light look at the relationship. Though the video features shots from all season, it mostly adress the season 3 spirit of the relationship.
Warning: lots of making out and scenes of sexual/sensual nature. if you're inconfortable with guys kissing each other, just skip this one :)
Music: "The sound of Violence (Dancefloor Killa Remix)" by Cassius

Lyrics
I feel like I wanna be inside you, when the sun goes down As long as I'm gonna be around you when the sun goes down yeah all my heart, taking in back the blue. I'm falling into my own senses. another night, another day It's better this way Let the music play. I feel like I wanna be inside you, when the sun goes down As long as i'm gonna be around you when the sun goes down yeah
Notes
This vid was more of a vidding exercice and mindless fun experience than anything else. I always loved techno and club/dance music but I never really thought of vidding with it 'cause I was focusing on serious and angst and all that jazz. But like I said, CVV made me realise I could totally vid this ! or at least try. Even if this vid is all about "fun, fun, fun", I still wanted to remain true to the characters. Because I just love them. ^^ The club life (and by extention, the never-ending sex) has always been a big part of who they were and it's a kind of their "shelter". and they're all confy in that world, just dancing and being together and having tons of sex. :)
The editing process was quite interesting as it was really a first experience in doing something so "fast-paced". The concept of making the vid flowy takes a whole new dimension when you're changing clips so often (0_0). but definitely was fun and a learning experience to try to figure it. Also fun to basically work with no narrative, but just conceiving the vid like a dance, with its high and lows and building a rythmn etc. Don't know if that makes sense. I wanted the vid to feel like an ensemble, almost like you're watching a single scene narrating one night. Most of the effects and prettiness are from the source. A part of the editing process was to try to mimic the source's speed and camera work effects, or at least integrate them with "normal" shots in a way it wouldn't be so noticable. Consistency is something I really am always thinking about.
The vid also celebrates my first use of AviSynth and all that stuff. I have to say I probably spend more time figuring out all the tech than actually vidding. It was a pain in the ass, like the 8 hours I spent watching my computer trying to render without crashing or fucking the export last night, but I sure hope the investement will pay in the future. And well, it's the price to pay if you want a good quality vid. I think I figured out the enough of it but post production is still a bit blurry and forgive me if the footage isn't as clear as I hope it'd be. I don't know if it's the mix of PAL/NTSC footage, I've tried a few things but ended up removing all filters and leaving it as it is. I think I was afraid my head was gonna explode...
