Video: When It's Over

Song: When It's Over by Loverboy (1981)
Categories: To The Max, Soo Bitch'n!, Gnarly Dude!
Summary: A totally made up story based on the Showtime series "Brotherhood" The show will start it's 3rd season in the fall. The song is a Loverboy song from 1981 and is completely from Colin's POV for this video. Cousin Colin comes home after being away for many years. It doesn't take him long to see that his cousin (and friend) Michael is in a physically and verbally abusive relationship with Kath. When Colin falls in love with Kath, he tries to convince her to leave Michael...she won't be lonely when it's over. Colin even goes to Michael and asks: "What's the point of working it out?" He's angry at Michael for the way he treats Kath. But Michael is a master manipulator Kath and stays...at least for awhile. Will Colin's support and patience change her mind and allow her to seek help?

Fandom: Veronica Mars
Song: Poison by Alice Cooper (1989)
Categories: Wicked Love, Totally Awesome, Gnarly Dude
Summary: It's really not an anti-Logan/Veronica video, I promise. Rather this is a video that looks at what I've always thought of as the most interesting feature of the couple's relationship: their extreme dysfunction. You have to admit, they had their issues.

Video: Clark & Lana - I'll Be There For You
Fandom: Smallville
Song: I'll Be There For You by Bon Jovi (1989)
Categories: Soo Bitch'n!, Totally Awesome!, Word Up!
Summary: I was trying to make a video for a different 80s contest... and I found this 1988-1989 song and thought it was PERFECT for Clark's point of view and his relationship with Lana! So here's my best attempt! I made the clips look a bit less saturated for the least intense parts of the song, for the most intense parts I used supersaturation (which I think looks really cool, let me know if you agree), and then for the chorus I used a light purple duotone. Anyway, I think it's fairly self explanatory. Enjoy! (By the way the first line in the song is "I guess this time you're really leaving, I heard your suitcase say 'goodbye'". The rest I think you can understand...)

Video: She Drives Me Crazy - Clois
Fandom: Smallville
Song: She Drives Me Crazy by Fine Young Cannibals (1989)
Categories: Whoa! Head Rush, Wicked Love, Gnarly Dude!
Summary: Another video I made for that other 80s contest... ;) Set to a 1989 song! It's Clark's point of view and just matches the lyrics - they're hard to understand, so I added them in a fun font, trying not to cover up the scenes too much, to the video! :D Please let me know what you think!! This is my second-ever Clois video, by the way! :D I like it more than my first...

Video: I Can Feel Your Power - Peter/Caitlin & West/Claire
Fandom: Heroes
Song: Like a Prayer by Madonna (1989)
Categories: Wicked Love, Soo Bitch'n!, Gnarly Dude!
Summary: I was inspired by a perfect Clana video set to Madonna's "Like a Prayer", which I kept watching it over and over until I fell in love with the song - and so I had to make a video. It's another 1989 song... I thought the lyrics in the song were simple and generic enough, while still sweet enough, to fit both of these two season 2 Heroes couples! I know these two couples are a true Paire fan's worst nightmare, but I adore both of these sets of lovebirds. Of course, the song is really long and Caitlin has only been in 6 episodes of the show, while West has only been in 9. So I needed to include both couples in order to use the whole song. I tried to alternate as best I could, despite the fact that West and Claire share a ton more scenes together. Anyway, I plan to make more impressive, better edited videos, but for now this was fun, lol! Mainly Caitlin and Claire's points of view, I think! They're both amazed by their boyfriends who care so much about them, win them over basically at first sight, and have unique abilities! They sure can feel their boyfriends' "powers" - in every sense of the word!! Enjoy!

Summary: Alice Cooper 1989 - Buffy is poisoning Angel. Yet he still can't bring himself to be apart from her or their destructive relationship. Constructed from the point of view of Angel and how he sees their relationship. This video was initially created two years ago and was one of the first I produced. Several attempts later and I am still not 100% happy with it!

Video: Severus: Living Inside Myself
Fandom: Harry Potter
Song: Living Inside Myself by Gino Vannelli(1981)
Categories: Word Up!, To The Max, Bodacious!
Summary: Severus Snape was in love with Lily Potter. When he made the mistake of uniting himself with the Dark Lord and being branded a Death Eater, he inadvertently helped them to kill Lily. Severus was completely devastated by her murder and loaded with guilt. He went to Albus (the Dark Lord's most feared enemy) , begged forgiveness and was given a job at the school where Albus is the headmaster. Severus made a promise to Albus to always protect Lily's son Harry. He never forgot Lily or stopped loving her and has lived with deep regret and sorrow ever since. The dark mark still lingers, burned on his arm by the Dark Lord himself and is a constant reminder of what Severus did. Years later when young Harry comes to the school where Severus teaches, Professor Snape is reminded even more of that horrible day - his darkest day - when Lily was killed. Poor Severus...he has lived inside himself ever since.
