My second and (for the time being) last video

[rodneyscat]

I'm not going to spam your flists with video's, I promise!! This is the video that made me want to learn how to vid in the first place. So now that this is done, I'm done too.

The whole story-arc of Michael was rather traumatic for me, in a way that I couldn't get it out of my mind. I was so disappointed in the people of Atlantis! This is my way of getting it out of my system, and frankly, I'm quite pleased with the result.

Video: 'Michael vs Atlantis'
Sources: Stargate Atlantis episodes 'Michael', 'No man's land' and 'Misbegotten'
Music: Blood - The Editors (this is the full, .mp3 version of the song)
warning: big honking spoilers for the mentioned episodes
Link: (.wmv, 12 MB)

May I ask if you still have that video somewhere and could reupload it? I'm deseprately looking for some interesting Michael vids as he's the only character on that show which fascinates me, but it's pretty hard to find any.

Oh wow! How did you even come across this entry after all this time?! I had to do some serious digging on my hard-drive to find the vid again, because to me it had served its purpose, which was dealing with the whole Michael issue. I was seriously disappointed in some of my favorite characters on the show! SGA does that occasionally. I'm still sticking to it though.

The vid is made with an old version of Windows Movie Maker, which is a good program for cutting and pasting some home-video footage, but sucks at trying to do anything remotely fancy and/or precise. I also accidentally got the aspect ratio wrong, which has been corrected for me by zikade when she turned it from a .wmv to a .mov file. I've uploaded the .mov file, (http://www.sendspace.com/file/vti6k3) because that one looks best. If you can't play it, I can upload the .wmv file, but that one is stretched.

My personal favorite Michael vid is the one by Roelof.P. I know Linkin Park has been done to death by vidders, but the song works perfectly for me here, and Michael's story is told so well. You can find it here (http://www.scifispace.net/mv-in_the_end.php). I don't know if there's still a downloadable version available anywhere, but I can upload that file too if you want.
