Stardust - It's Only Life

[MidgardDragon]

Copied/Pasted Description from YouTube:


I really wanted to make a music video with this song and Stardust, but all I could find are very similar trailers, so there are multiple repeated scenes and moving lips throughout. Hopefully it at least represents what I'd like to do were I to have the entire movie. Enjoy.

Hey MD...

I really liked your video. I was debating whether or not to see this film, but after your video I may just see it. I thought the overall editing and flow of your video was good, which is impressive considering WMM is the worst video editor out there. I was also impressed with the picture quality of the footage, considering that it hasn't left theaters yet. Usually bootleg footage looks like crap.

My only recommendation for your future vids is to not show mouth movement. There was quite a lot of it in your video. But that was my only real gripe.

The pacing with the music was good, the scene selection was good, the editing/flow was good, and the picture quality was nice. Great song choice as well. Even though I have not seen the film, the song seemed to fit.

Great work...

P.S.

The video should rack up a ton of views, because I doubt there are any other Stardust vids on YouTube. However, did you hear about the rumor regarding September 1st? Apparently starting 9/1 YouTube is going to start removing all copyrighted footage. This makes no sense to me, because 90% of the material on YouTube is copyrighted. Basically no one goes out and shoots their own material. A large portion of the site is various fanvideos/trailers, along with actual movie trailers, commercials, music videos, etc.. None of which people own the rights to. What exactly will be left to put on YouTube?

Hey, thanks for the response vyperman7. The vid is great quality because it's *only* taken from trailers, not bootleg footage. The bootleg footage for this movie is more awful than usual, so I just used the very similar trailers. The moving lips were necessary simply to avoid recycling scenes more than I already had to.

I haven't heard that rumor, but I very much doubt it's true. It would be a real shame, and kill YouTube almost instantly. It sounds like those "MySpace is deleting accounts" type rumors that circulate but are always false. I wouldn't put much stock in it unless YouTube itself says something about it.

Well my uploading privledges were suspended on MySpace for using a "copyrighted" song. This doesn't make any sense to me because all music is copyrighted. Why some songs would be allowed and not others is beyond me.

Very cool idea using the trailers. Everytime I was in the theater I only saw the same single trailer for Stardust, never multiple ones. The reason I bring this up is because I thought I saw footage in your videos that was not in the trailer. I guess there is more than one trailer for Stardust. I wish they would have played it in the theaters, instead of the same one over and over.. LOL

The two trailers I used are the High Def version from apple.com, and a French version I got from Stage6.

I've experience MySpace being weird about copyrighted stuff lately too (a Season 6 + Phantom recap I did was taken down). This really confuses me because it used to be YouTube would go crazy with certain copyrighted videos, but MySpace never batted an eye. Now it seems to be the reverse.

I've never heard this song before and it went extremely well with your vid. I liked how you had the different clips flash with the beat of the song. I loved the part "Just hold on tight and don't let go" and you matched that scene with where, in the movie, he sayd, "Hold me tight and think of home."

And thank you so much for posting your vid! I can't wait to see more from you.

Hey guys, Paramount is a pain in the a** about anything related to them being on YouTube, so they deleted not only the vid, but my account.

So I made a new account a reuploaded the video. :lol:
