I love Massive Attack and trip hop in general. I’m not sure if it’s particularly hard to vid, it is dense but I like that. I always figure if you can dance to it you can vid it, the two feel connected in some way. When I first had the idea for the vid I thought I was going to have to learn a whole bunch of special effects skillz to generate the kind of movement it would need but then it was all pretty much there in the source. I did get to play with different compositing functions for the overlays though and that was fun.
That’s a really interesting point about violence and freedom. Really interesting. When I was editing the final section, I did deliberately intercut the return to power with explosions and I also had in mind the similarity between the footage of her reclaiming Colonial One and Six marching in at the end of LDYB. It all relates to the tension between doing whatever it takes for the human race to survive and not losing its soul in the process that’s such a big theme of the show. Another thing I was thinking about, particularly with the Olympic Carrier, was how violence breeds violence and creates choices that would never otherwise have had to be faced. I also wanted to use the treaty, the Olympic carrier note, voting papers, the piece of paper that Duck took to the suicide bombing as a running motif because, Laura being a politician, her old world was built around agreements on bits of paper and the negotiations that they represent. Then the cylon attack was the complete antithesis to that world, just blew it away, war as the opposite of civilisation.
