Downfall - A Steve/Tony Fanvid
So, you know how Sauron created the one ring, and into it he poured all his cruelty, his malice, and his will to dominate all life? Well, I tried to pour all my love for Marvel comics and all the joy I’ve gotten from the Steve/Tony fandom into this vid.
The password is 'sesame'. If you follow the vid to the vimeo site, there is an option to download.If there are any problems with that, I will upload the vid to a file sharing site. You can download it here at mediafire.
Edit: The mediafire link should be working now. Also, I forgot to mention that I'm totally fine with criticism, so feel free to point out anything I could improve on.
This is my first fanvid. Like Tony, I have SO MANY FEELINGS, so I'm going to babble a bit under the cut:
Okay, so this vid concept has been in my head for years. The song caught my attention for a couple reasons: I loved that it has several distinct moods, especially the middle which goes from upbeat gospel-like music to a soft, somber version of the chorus. I liked the idea of using the distinct parts of the song to tell distinct parts of Civil War and its aftermath: I used the first two choruses for the two main battles, the first verse for Civil War politics, the second verse for the Steve/Tony meet-up in the mansion, the gospel-like bridge for What If? happytimes and other shippy scenes, the somber chorus for The Confession, and the rest of the song for the aftermath of Steve's death.
Because I wanted to tell a fairly chronological story, I wanted the vid to move forward at a tight pace. To this end, I realized I wanted only one panel per slide and no word balloons, so that the images themselves didn't contain forward momentum that I couldn't control. Ah geez, does that sentence make sense? Basically, I wanted to take the 'sequential' out of 'sequential art', stripping out the textual story so that the music could take its place. This required a lot of cropping and Photoshopping. It also put restrictions on which panels I could use - many powerful panels simply were too small or had too many word balloons. In the end, however, I created more panels than I could use, so this wasn't a problem.
I now have a folder of balloon-free panels, cropped and sized to match. If anyone wants to use them for their own fanworks (IDK, icons? Wallpapers? More vids?), let me know. It was time-consuming work, and I'd be happy for it to go towards more than just this vid.
I was inspired by all of the vids posted to this comm, including![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
elspethdixon's Love Hurts: Living Armor/Tony for its genius editing, and mozzarellaroses's Civil War Battlefield for its excellent timing of clips to music.
And I'd like to thankharmonyangel for her encouragement.
Sorry for the TL;DR. Creative processes are like, my favorite thing ever to talk about.
