NTM vid-watching challenge: day 2

[hazelk]

I’m a very hard sell for Supernatural vids, downloaded this one on the strength of greensilver’s entirely joyful vidlet made for more joy day (Band Candy meets The Who) and was sold.

White Light by greensilver takes a very simple idea and applies it with ruthless economy. There’s nothing spare, not a frame wasted. It’s brutal and I like that in a vid. Shifts from desaturated to full colour during tiny intervals of let up from the relentless beat are used to capture brief moments of light in the Winchester’s lives. People smiling, talking, connecting, nothing more. The bridge provides a longer moment but the colour is that little bit too bright, the normality not real, it falls away. The killer lies in one last glimpse of true colour for a moment of brotherly love, which transcends their blooded faces, before the end.
