The wait is almost over

I've had the Take That album forever and I love it to bits. Only yesterday did it hit me how well I'd Wait For Life suits Ten / Rose. I am by no means the biggest Ten / Rose shipper out there but this idea just wouldn't leave me alone. Lacking any video making skills I was at first going to just do a picspam to lyrics but last night the bug bit me and I made it into a slideshow. First attempt using Windows Movie Maker or uploading anything to You Tube so I'm amazed I didn't break anything! Plus, I got up this morning to find it had 28 views already and I didn't even tag it properly because I wasn't sure I wanted all and sundry looking at it. OK, enough prattling on. Here it is.



The Doctor doesn't have to wait much longer!

And because it was originally going to be just a picspam I thought I'd post some of my favourite shots. Mainly Rose looking beautiful *sigh*




Bless his face. So much ♥




PICK ME! PICK ME!




AAJHGDGKHSKDJHFKSHDKFHS This is my absolute favourite shot of Rose. Must be making an icon of it in a minute methinks.









I was messing about with different colouring tutorials in PS yesterday and I'm really pleased with how these turned out.


Oh and [personal profile] likethesun wins at life.



I was saying how us DT fans were all in the same boat when it came to being a bit insane.. The Tennant Boat of Crazy if you will. This is our Captain for today *lmao*

Yay, your first video! ;)
I've been wanting to do a SPN vid forever but I just don't have time!

Well I've always said that I'd never take the time to teach myself video making because a) I did it for several years at college and uni and I hated it, b) it's one more thing to distract me and c) I'll clog up my hard drive with yet more nonsense, namely tons of video clips of Jensen and Doctor Who ;)

But surprisingly this slideshow thing was very fun to do and it only took me about an hour to put together. Took me a whole lot longer to find the caps I wanted and Photoshop them but that's OK :D

I really must listen to that Take That album straight through one day. *pokes self*

And i know sod all about the DW fandom, but that was very good considering it's your first attempy at Movie Maker, well done!

And I didn't realises Billie Piper was so pretty. *stares*

Oh yes you must! It's a really amazing album :D

Thankyou, nice of you to watch it even though you're not a Who freak like me! I find a lot of people are nicely surprised by Billie.

Your first video is lovely, Silv! You should make more of them :)

Billie is really beautiful *nods* I just don't like the fact that her eyebrows are much too dark for her hair colour here *lol*

I think I will make more at some point, it was a lot of fun to do :D

Hahaha I know, but I love her mismatched hair and eyebrows so much. Reminds me of me!

I've been meaning to make a DW video for so long now - i have so many ideas in my head but i just don't ave time to make one - maybe ill get cracking on that soon

Aww thanks! I have to admit I'm a huge TT fan, it's one of my guilty pleasures.

Like I said to someone earlier on, I was always wary of making videos because of the time factor. This didn't take that long though, and I really enjoyed it so I expect I'll do another one at some point :)

Nice video! I kind of want to get into video making but I don't know where to start. Looks too hard!

Billie is so pretty. I love Rose - can't wait for Saturday!

[identity profile] biffyhouse.livejournal.com 2008-06-19 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks my love! You know what, it was actually really easy to learn. Probably helped that I did some video stuff at college and uni but honestly it's not that complicated at all.

I am SO BLOODY EXCITED about Saturday, and then the two-part finale. Have you seen any of the pictures that have been released?

Well, I don't watch the show, and I'm not a big fan of slideshows, but I had to check out your first attempt with WMM! And just so you know, it took me muuuuch longer to figure out transtions (even the simplest ones) and making it go, even -ish, with the rythm of the song. (yep, my first video was really a big bunch of crap!) All of this to say you can be happy!

Erm, completly random, but since English is your first language, I figured i'd ask you! Don't laugh, but earlier, I had a big freak out about something : is the expression "to no end" familiar? Because I used it in my essay for my English exam, and now I somehow feel like it's really familiar, and that I shouldn't have used it since we're supposed to have a proper language... that's not really important, but I was just wondering. It's sometimes hard for me to "feel" this kind of thing, especially since I basically learned English in TV shows!
That was a big blah blah for nothing much, but I just wrote it while I was at it! ;)

'To no end' is familiar yes, I don't think you should worry about having used it in an essay! I know what you mean though, sometimes it must be difficult to get a real feel for the language when it's not your own :)

Aww thanks for watching the slideshow even with those misgivings! I do have some previous experience of video making which definitely helped, just not using that programme.

Aw, pretty video! That song really does fit them.

Hee, 'pretty' is definitely a good word for it :D
