Supernatural Humor Vid!  
Title: "Your Horoscope"
Artist: Weird Al Yankovic
Fandom: "Supernatural"
Vidder: [info]ringwench
Category: Humor
Format: wmv (zipped)
Length: 3:12
Size: 15 MB
Summary: The boys pay a visit to Missouri and she reads their horoscopes. Made for the [info]supernaturalvid humor challenge.


That's your horoscope for today! (right click/save as)


Notes:

I finished the verse parts over a week ago and I left the chorus and the bridge until the last possible moment.

So I'm not entirely happy with some parts, but since it's literally 5 minutes before the challenge deadline I have no more time at my disposal to tweak them and get it more to my liking.

There are a few parts where the timing isn't the greatest, and the choruses are suffering from a bit of talky-face and random-clip-itis, things I would not normally be comfortable with having in a vid, but again, 5 minutes before the deadline, so there's not a lot I can do right now.

Hopefully they don't detract too much from the vid as a whole.





Feedback would be awesome!

Hee, that was great hon! Even though I don't know what was going on in half the clips, it didn't matter ^_^ I loved the "lord of the dance" part, and the "look on your face" - Dean's face was indeed priceless :D Ahahaha, and the "honey" clip!!! Heeeeeee. The "except for you" worked perfectly with the clip of Sam turning away - I've never seen that scene, but I think I know what's going on cause of an icon someone had, probably you! haha. Also the "big promotion" section and Dean's frown, hee.

I loved it! And now I am determined to somehow get my hands on all the episodes :D

Thanks! Glad you liked it. I'm still not too happy with how the choruses turned out, but hopefully the verses made up for it ;-)

And you need to see all the episodes!

Hey, this got reccommended over at TWoP so I had to see it, and dude! I loved it! Every second! I was lmao the entire time and I think the timing was perfect (even if you don't think so).
Great job! :-D

You were unhappy with *that*? It's the funniest vid I've ever seen. The cuts were crisp and I really enjoyed your interpretation of the lyrics.

I just got into this fandom, and I did it by reading fic and watching vids after seeing only "Faith" (I can't seem to download any of the eps and I'm very very sad). So thanks for opening up the world of the Winchesters to me!
kunju: bringiton[info]innie_darling on January 28th, 2006 07:08 pm (UTC)
Should have mentioned that (per the comment above mine) I did rec this vid at TWoP (I'm kunju over there). Hope that was okay.

Your Horoscope
FINALLY, some feedback from me, because if I have to look at one of my own vids for more than five seconds tonight, I might shoot my laptop high noon style, but I have five minutes to, like, breathe (my life has been crazy busy, which I know you relate to), so I want to do something I enjoy, so vid babble it is.

You know how 'Fun With Slapstick' was my favorite funny video? Well this one just totally blew that one out of the water (in a good way!). Not that I don't laugh often over it still. *g*

00:15 - Dean is such a baby about planes, omg, and his face is so priceless here. Following that with a close up of his WTFUCKINGSHITISTHIS face at 00:17 started me giggling like mad.
00:19to22 - IRONY! JOY! Dean trying to whack Sam with a stick! Ilovethisvideosomuch.
00:30to32 - First, you get extra points for having Callum Keith Rennie in your video, because he is my most intense mancrush ever, and Dean's little dissatisfied pucker is so cute.
00:33to38 - Haha! Sam is so amused by the watermelon in Dean's colon. You have no idea the crazy fic ideas this video put into my head about freaky-stone-making-Demons.
00:43to00:48 - Oh, Sam! At first I was like, 'wait, that makes me cry, not a laugh', but I was wrong, because just the way Sam's eyebrows jump at the end there gives the whole thing an ironic twist that overjoys my evil little heart, and makes me think about my experiences with palm readers. THEY BRING ONLY DOOM.

You mentioned that you didn't like the choruses a while back on YM, but I have to say that I disagree; they don't feel messy. In fact, I think they draw the whole video together nicely, because you use a lot of reaction shots -- this is Sam and Dean hearing their fucked futures, and it gives the vid a more narrative twist. This video IS MY GOOFY SHOW. Also, your video ate my head, and now I want to do a funny vid, which will then eat other people's heads, but in a negative way, because it will suck so bad. I can't do funny.

1:03to1:08 - Haha! You got the buttslap in the most non-sexy way ever, and I will now forever giggle in an entirely different way when I see that clip.
1:09to1:14 - Hee! Sam's love life sucks so bad. By the way, something I'm noticing more and more in your vids is your very active movement. No clip is 'boring', and I'm really liking it.
1:14to1:18 - There IS a such thing as good characterization in vids, and this section is a very nice example of that, because it's so reminiscent of Missouri's attitude toward Dean in the episode. She's so telling him to go jump off a cliff for his own good.
1:19to1:22 - This is just clever. I can't imagine how long it took for you to find the right clips to go together like that. The bloody nose stands out in my mind, but then Dean' touching his own nose? No clue where that's from.
1:24to1:27 - Hee! Dean show's Sam pictures of his photocopies ass! Shut up, he so is, I can find subtext anywhere.
1:30to1:35 - How does Jensen manage to be so attractive while GAGGING?
1:35to1:39 - This is one of my two most favoritest parts of this video ever. This is so adorable and perfect and RIGHT and Sam is so amused by his brother, but not nearly amused as I am, especially paired with those lyrics. Great timing.

Re: Your Horoscope
1:55to2:15 - See, it's segments like this one that keep the joke being funny, and also make it a true look at the show, with a bird's eye view from inside your head. *g* And for some reason, I really like that final shot of Missouri, it's just so impatient and 'can I continue or are you going to interrupt me some more?'
2:16to2:25 This is so Dean! Dumb (okay, secretly not so much I guess), in love with his own voice, and getting knocked on his ass a lot. Hee!
2:26to2:36 I like these establishing shots from interesting angles (their feet), and the jump-cut on the Doctor's nameplate, and insecure!Sam! Awwww. That mirror shot? YES. On a serious note, I notice that in BM when he's scanning the mirror, he never looks directly at it, and I really love the expression on our boy's faces at the end clip of that segment, with Dean shaking his head and Sam. It's to the beat!
2:37to2:41 - This is the other favoritest part of the video that I mentioned. So creepy, and giggle-inducing, and how perfect is this song? You have some strange instinctual power at finding songs that fit.
2:42to2:46 - Hee! John is such a pervert.
2:47to2:56 - Sam not an exciting person? How dare you suggest that. *g*

I really love the amusement from Missouri throughout the end of the video, while Sam and Dean are left a little 'buh?' like they didn't get exactly what they wanted from their reading, and their not sure what to do with what they DID get. But, on the down low, she totally told them about their secret lust for each other, right?

I just truly adored this video, and thought it was very inspired, and funny. I watch it whenever I'm feeling kind of icky, which is a lot lately, and it always picks me up, makes me giggle. I wanted to do my usual technical-feedback, but seriously, I can't, because you keep distracting me with THE FUNNY. Oh, and I wanted to mention that this is a very literal song, but with odd lyrics, and because of that, probably extremely difficult to vid to, but I think you made it not even matter, blew through it and made it look EASY. How do you DO that? I'm really asking.

*sidenote: apologies for the caps-talk. It's a stage I'm going through.

Also, I showed it to one of my real-life friends, who is very into supernatural, and she LOVED it. She made us (what a chore) watch it like five times before she'd let me have my computer back, AND she now wants to learn how to make videos. So, uh, you might have corrupted an innocent, and you've put fear into my heart, because if she turns fannish, she's going to FIND OUT ABOUT MY DEVIANT BROTHER/BROTHER LUST!

Re: Your Horoscope
OMG thank you! You always give such nice insightful feedback that never fails to make my day :-)

Wow, I can't believe I've inspired someone to get into vidding! That's got to be one of the nicest compliments a vidder can recieve! LOL about your friend finding out about your love of the Wincest ;-)

You should DEFINITELY do a humor vid! I think you could do a really awesome job with the right song.

How did I make this vid look easy? Well, I don't know. There were certainly parts of it that were damn easy (like the "KILL THEM!" part, lol. That was one of the first scenes I had chosen), but there were also quite a few sections that I had no clue what clips to use and had to do a lot of searching for good scenes ("tongue freezing to the back of a speeding bus"? That was REALLY hard!). It really was not the easiest vid to do, but I knew the song all too well because I made a Buffy vid to it a few years ago, so that made it go a little faster.

I still don't like the choruses that much, but your review made me hate them a whole lot less, so that's something :-)

And yes, Missouri TOTALLY told the brothers about their lust for each other!

Thanks again for the awesome feedback! Made my day :-)

I've been randomly looking for spn vids, and came across this. I just wanted to let you know that I loved it!

It's hilarious and fun and just so great! Everything from "You will never find true happiness - what you gonna do, cry about it?" to "The position of Jupiter says you should spend the rest of the week face down in the mud" were just perfectly done.

Thanks for sharing this!

I'm new in the SPN fandom which is why I haven't watched your vids until now. I like all of them but I love this one in particular because it's just hilarious. :D I love how you always found the perfect clips to match with the lyrics. Simply genius! ♥

Bahaha!!! Hilarious. I loved the pacing, the literal shots and the clever set-up. I really liked how it kept switching off between the boys. Fabulous, and great fun.
