Also, please feel free to friend me! I'm new to LJ!

This was my latest edit and I cannot explain just how long it took my to complete this, largely due to my super crappy computer and below par software. I am glad to have it completed and after having let it loose on the net it seems to be doing quite well. From some comments people seem to have had a strong emotional reaction which is great!

I'll be honest and admit that I am not the biggest fan of the movie and would rather have done without it. I Want To Believe perhaps highlighted a new angle of Mulder and Scully that could be explored through this video in terms of where they are in their lives and in particular their concept of 'home'. It is fascinating to see just how much these characters have developed and whilst I may not agree with it, I felt it was something that should be recognised.

Song is by Patrick Watson and The Cinematic Orchestra.

This was lovely! You chose such wonderful moments from the series!

Have you considered posting to groups like [info]vidding, [info]xf_fanfilm, and [info]xfiles?

(Also, btw, if you want people to comment here instead of at the post at the community, instead of putting up links to your vid at the community posts, the best thing is to put a link up to your LJ post with the vid - you post at the community and say "Follow the link to my LJ post with streaming and download info" or something like that. Sorry you got trolled at [info]fan_vids - that doesn't happen often, you should just delete the comment!)
Yvonne[info]requiemx87 on January 10th, 2009 10:51 pm (UTC)
Thanks - I am really REALLY new to LJ so I'm still trying to figure it out. I will try and join those groups.

aww, it's beautiful - soft, sweet & a bit heartbreaking. i especially love the blackwhite/coloured clip thing, like you say the movie is a great setting for this vid, it feels very grounded & 'real'.

& i just really liked this :) you went through so many different moods and phases of their relationship... epic.

Thank you so much for your comment!
I'm glad you said 'real', that is exactly what I was going for.

Oh wow, this was lovely, it makes me all nostalgic. Awwwwww.
Yvonne: mulder and scully[info]requiemx87 on February 2nd, 2009 02:17 pm (UTC)
Nostalgia is what it is all about. I miss the old Mulder and Scully :(

That was lovely. I'm in constant awe of anyone who undertakes the task of vidding XF in its entirety and you did a wonderful job in picking just clips. Thank you.
Yvonne: scully[info]requiemx87 on February 2nd, 2009 02:18 pm (UTC)
Oh god! It took me forever! I don't know what I was thinking?
I'm glad it is done though and that you enjoyed it!

Wow, that was brilliant!! Excellent job!!

Thank you!

this is really nice. a bit long for a fanvid, but the song is perfect for them. it really is. welcome to eljay!
Yvonne[info]requiemx87 on February 2nd, 2009 02:19 pm (UTC)
I am loving LJ! Did you think it was too long? I wanted to include the whole song, it was too beautiful to cut and it helped when I had to tell a story that panned 15years. I hope it didn't drag or anything!
vegawriters: RB - Fine Wine and Champagne[info]vegawriters on February 2nd, 2009 04:30 pm (UTC)
I don't think it dragged, but I'm of the belief fanvids shouldn't be more than 3 or 4 minutes. No matter HOW perfect the song. :) But you did a good job.

Glad you're liking LJ :)

A friend of mine sent me this vid a week or so ago, and I was blown away. Great job! I really love this vid.
Yvonne: xf_fbijackets[info]requiemx87 on February 2nd, 2009 02:20 pm (UTC)
Thank you! It seems to be getting around which is great!
Glad you liked it!
Kristen: KK1[info]octoberaine on January 14th, 2009 05:34 am (UTC)
I loved it!! I am a sucker for fast moving clips like this. ;)

I think I will friend you. :D Always good to have a fellow X-Files vidder on my list!
Yvonne: xf_mulderhot[info]requiemx87 on February 2nd, 2009 02:21 pm (UTC)
Always good to have a friend!
Kim: Unnatural[info]cifan70 on January 14th, 2009 11:10 am (UTC)
Beautiful video. Loved your scenes and the music was pretty too.
Yvonne: sfu_claire_allalone[info]requiemx87 on February 2nd, 2009 02:22 pm (UTC)
Isn't it just the most wonderfully evocative song in the world? You should listen to the live version the have up on YouTube - ENCHANTING!
L: XF: walking in memphis[info]greydawning on January 14th, 2009 11:16 am (UTC)
Awesome job in making this retrospective. The music fit really well and the clips were well-picked. I especially loved the clip from PMP where Mulder twirls Scully while they dance. Is that a deleted scene? Anyway, loved this vid :)

Friending you btw ;)
Yvonne: sfu_claire_allalone[info]requiemx87 on January 14th, 2009 08:46 pm (UTC)
It's from the season 5 special Inside The X Files, you should be able to find it at the end of the doc and it is on the s5 dvd boxset. :)
Hina: GA & DD[info]nebulachica on January 14th, 2009 09:01 pm (UTC)
That was beautiful, thank you for sharing! I am friending you:-) I can only imagine how long it must take anyone to make a fanvid, and this was a really long song, so more kudos to you!
Yvonne: xf_ga[info]requiemx87 on February 2nd, 2009 02:23 pm (UTC)
Thanks! Really FAR TOO LONG!
That is mostly because I have a really crappy laptop and software - but alas I am a poor student!

Maybe I'll be an editor one day with any luck! xx
Ultimate fantasy lay[info]achtungx on January 16th, 2009 06:06 pm (UTC)
That was... for lack of a better word... epic. I cried the first time I ever heard that song by itself, so mix it with X-Files and there's no holding back the waterworks! I love videos such as this, because aside from the fact that it's expertly put together and has wonderful music in it - it really showcases what a stunning, intricate show the X-Files was. In my opinion, never again will another show match the amazing calibre the X-Files reached every time it aired.
Yvonne: sfu_nate_ecotone[info]requiemx87 on February 2nd, 2009 02:25 pm (UTC)
I completely agree. Nothing will ever come close to it in my opinion! I first heard the song over a year ago and it spoke straight to my heart. I never thought about vidding it until I saw the movie and it seemed to be perfect to express my sentiments about these wonderful characters. Rather than put what I feel into words, I feel that this video probably best describes how I feel about the show.
beamingteddybear: peak[info]beamingbear on January 17th, 2009 08:00 pm (UTC)
Awesome! The clips were very well chosen, as well as the song. I really like the end where you sort of compare the moments from IWTB and pilot.
Yvonne[info]requiemx87 on February 2nd, 2009 02:27 pm (UTC)
The ending was hard to figure out. Although I think the audio works. Maybe a bit cliche by ending it with a kiss, but I guess that is how we always leave our beloved Mulder and Scully.
lytab5: Sedgewick[info]lytab5 on March 29th, 2009 09:19 am (UTC)
AWESOME vid! I love the fast cuts in the beginning and the song is very lovely!
Taking the dl (extra thank you for that) and putting it on my fav playlist!
Thank you!
Yvonne[info]requiemx87 on March 29th, 2009 01:05 pm (UTC)
Thank you! I am glad you liked it! xxx
Chelsea[info]rchelsea2005 on March 29th, 2009 02:30 pm (UTC)
Oh, geez. Your video is going to make me cry.

You're quite the vidder, my dear. How long have you been doing it? I'm a vidder myself, but two years of it hasn't gotten me quite to the point that it has you! Geeeeez, this is fantastic. I am definitely going to add you.

ps. Fantastic song choice. I've always loved "TBaH" so so much :]
Yvonne[info]requiemx87 on March 29th, 2009 02:47 pm (UTC)
Thanks! Have you seen my other videos!?

I have been editing for about three years but I am very limited by my super crappy laptop and software. There are so many things I would like to do but cannot. :(

I will add you too! Thank you for the lovely comment! xx
