jetpack_monkey | Vidding Stuff

I've had to put my How I Met Your Mother vid aside for a moment -- I think it's a little outside of my scope as a vidder and I'm having trouble putting together appropriate clips, despite having extensive notes. I'm going to take some time away and let my subconscious work out the various obstacles.

However, this has let me move on to the vid I'm really excited about -- my Universal monsters video. I've told a few people what song I'm using and they've accused me of not sharing the crack. Sorry?

Originally this was going to have a much broader scope, encompassing the whole of Universal's output from the 1920s-early 1950s, but I've since narrowed it down to the six main monsters (Dracula, Frankenstein, the Wolf Man, the Mummy, the Invisible Man, and the Creature from the Black Lagoon) for a number of reasons. The main one is that there are five choruses and one bridge in the song, so I can devote each to a specific monster (my Mummy chorus is freakin' wicked). There's a few other areas in the song that sync up with the number six, so I decided to take it as a sign (I didn't know this before I picked the song) and I've focused the vid on only movies featuring the main monsters.

So far I have three of the six monsters completed (although I'm not completely happy with the Wolf Man section).

This is going to rock.
