VIDEO: EYE FOR AN EYE (SUPERNATURAL)  



Vidder: Thandie
Title: Eye for an Eye
Fandom: Supernatural
Genre: Character Studio, Drama, Action
Warnings: none, but I used clips up to the episode 'On the head of a pin'
Song/Artist: "Eye 4 an Eye" by UNKLE
Software: Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0
Characters/Pairings: Castiel, Dean, Anna, Alastair, Uriel, hints of Dean/Castiel
Summary: Castiel-centric video, about self-discovery, fear and doubt. And his own special human. Featuring very kick-ass Sammy and crush-enabler Anna.
Download & Streaming: AVI, 29
Streaming: youtube

Notes:

I don't have a lot to say about this one, it's basically all about Castiel, 'cause I adore him and his big blue shiny eyes and his low bedroom voice (especially when he says Dean). Anna has an important part too, because she's the one that shows him the way, but Dean is the trigger. So, you know, not really all that different from canon!
It's always good to remember that my first video about a character usually misses deep insight and all that, and it's more about finding the character. I hope we'll have a lot more of the guy, because I've just started with him.
The lyrics of the song are very fitting (they are quotes from the movie "The Thin Red Line") and they were perfect for this season. Oh, obviously the song was the usual UNKLE insane length, so I had to take off half song, and I remixed it around quite a bit...the original song, if you are interested, is pretty different and so much more beautiful.
On a shallow side: the torture scene is so so pretty. I don't even know what that says about me, but Dean's face when he's all cold and unforgiving badass does things to my lower brain.

Lyrics:

Even now in heaven there were angels carrying savage weapons

An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth

Run, run, run, but you sure can't hide

An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth

Run, run, run, but you sure can't hide

Does our rule benefit the earth?
Does it help the grass to grow? The sun to shine?
Is this darkness in you too?
Have you passed through this Night?

Run, run, run, but you sure can't hide

Where you're going you're not coming back from

Run, run, run, but you sure can't hide

An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth

Run, run, run, but you sure can't hide

An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth

Run, run, run, but you sure can't hide

This great Evil...
Where's it coming from?
How'd it steal into the world?
Who's doing this?
Who's killing us?
Mocking us with the sight of what we might have known

Run, run, run...
Run, run, run...

An eye for an eye...
A tooth for a tooth...
Run, run, run, but you sure can't hide

An eye for an eye...
A tooth for a tooth...
Run, run, run, but you sure can't hide

(An eye for an eye...)
Are you righteous?
(A tooth for a tooth...)
Kind?
(Run, run, run but you sure can't hide...)
Does your confidence lie in this?
(An eye for an eye...)
Are you loved by all?
(A tooth for a tooth...)
Do you imagine your sufferings would be less
(Run, run, run, but you sure can't hide...)
Because you loved goodness and truth?

An eye for an eye...
A tooth for a tooth...
Run, run, run, but you sure can't hide...
Run, run, run, but you sure can't hide...

What are you to me?

Damn! You finished this really quick. I saw your preview of it and got all excited. I was actually leaving you a comment until right when I posted it, you deleted it :P.

I'm so glad to see it finished! It's a wonderful castiel vid. The music is sort of creepy and strange, but I think it's cool and works well with the vid. I like how the vid is slow at the beginning and then picks up with some awesome clip choices. Well done as always!
thandie: boys - legs[info]thandie on March 26th, 2009 11:39 am (UTC)
Hey bb! Yes I was very fast with this one! Because it was the kind I love doing, action-y and edited on beat. And Castiel has got a lot of wonderful scenes to use in a vid, so I had FUN.
Thank you SO much! ♥

Ohhhh, that was awesome!! I'd say you definitely found the character, alright. That was amazing and angsty and intense and moving and... awesome! And so very Castiel. I loved it. :)
thandie: castiel1[info]thandie on March 26th, 2009 11:37 am (UTC)
Oh icon love :)
Thank you so much, I'm really happy you liked it ♥ Castiel is so very intense, he needed an intense and badass song! Even if I cheated and made him look more badass here than how he really is...poor guy, he keeps losing fights! In my vid it actually looks like he's almost getting the upper hand in some parts :P

Eeep! Downloading immediately. The song choice is perfect.
thandie[info]thandie on March 26th, 2009 11:35 am (UTC)
It is! I was lucky to listen to it now...it had been sitting in my music folder for months.

Okay that? Was one of the best SPN fanvids I've seen in a long time. And I think you found the character just fine. And you're right, the song choice was perfect for this season. Will be downloading this!
thandie: priestly sweet smile[info]thandie on March 26th, 2009 11:34 am (UTC)
"Okay that? Was one of the best SPN fanvids I've seen in a long time"
OMG thank you so much! ♥
The lyrics were just so exactly perfect, I couldn't not make it :)
jello: halo[info]jelost on March 26th, 2009 03:21 am (UTC)
This is brilliant! Definitely one of my favorites at the moment; I love this take on Castiel and the season as a whole.

Unfortunately, 4Shared is throwing a royal fit at me right now, but I'm determined to download it, eventually!
thandie: castiel1[info]thandie on March 26th, 2009 09:57 am (UTC)
Thank you so much Jelost! Wow, I'm glad you appreciated my take on Castiel, he's really new for me, and with a lot of potential. I hope to have a lot more material by then end of this season, so I can vid him more :)

Oh ops, I think the download works btw? If it stopped working let me know!

This is gorgeous! I am in love with the pacing, and what an AWESOME song. I'm in love with the fast cuts around 1:30 in particular, but the whole thing is lovely. Garggh, he's SO PRETTY with all that blood on face.
thandie: preciousssss[info]thandie on March 26th, 2009 09:54 am (UTC)
Thank you Nicky! ♥
The pacing was fun and hell to make at the same time, it's one of those songs where just cutting on beat is not enough, or it looks all screwed up :P I pratically had to preview every frame I added or took off!

He is SO SO PRETTY, especially in that glorious scene with Anna, when she touches his arm for comfort...I mean, HIS FACE. This pairing will kill us all, if Castiel keeps looking like that! I have trouble watching both he and Jensen in the same frames, it's like prettiness overload or something!

PS: replying to your PM later :)
Griva: Castiel[info]griva_x on March 26th, 2009 10:04 am (UTC)
PS;your imeem doesnt work, i wanted to rec it
In short: keep selling it to me sister, KEEP SELLING!

Now, details:
first 40 secs - DAMN, you turn it into MOST erotically charged torture scene EVER. The moment when Dean throws his head back as he studies the damage he did to Alistair... HOLY F**K! It's like he got off on it already. Pardon my bluntness.
(btw one erotically charged scene is when Maximus is in chains and Commodus sticks his knife in him but technically, it's not a torture scene).

ha, you NAUGHTY girl, how you combine a shot of Anna kissing Dean with Cas' memory and how he flinches.

irrelevant but: damn, sam, he looked REALLY hot here (excorcising Alistair) w/* the sound of his voice. Maybe I said good bye to evilSam too early.

Anna: when she doesnt talk, she's ok.

Cas is so totally eyefucking Dean. :)
Now, off the shallow minded perch: good recap. :) fitting music.

Can I have my Wrong vid next? PLEASE???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Re: PS;your imeem doesnt work, i wanted to rec it
LOL! I'm glad you appreciated the first part, it's the best part of the vid imo. And with the song it turned out to be SO sexy!!! Because Alastair was awesome, but he kept ruining it by talking non-stop :P
I've been wanting to use that Dean-takes-off-his-jacket-with-smirk clip FOREVER (well actually it's only a week, but you know what I mean).

Sam looked really hot, and I guess it's merit of the song again...it made everyone look more badass and hotter! Even Anna was pretty cool in those scenes I used, and you know she secretly ships Dean/Castiel too ;)

Ah you Wrong vid, I think I'll need to find this videoclip then, so I can start to see if it works. I really like the song so I hope to manage a good vid with it :)

Thank you! ♥♥♥

PS: HEY, YOU SAID EVERYONE LOOKS HOT HERE BUT CAS. WASN'T HE HOT TOO? COME OOOON :P Blood fits him, like it fits Dean.

PS2: Oh what? In fact I noticed noone seems to have viewed the imeem link, but it works to me! Can you check for me pls? http://www.imeem.com/thandie2/video/BQsKgaUG/thandie-supernatural-eye-4-an-eye-tv-video/

Thank you :) Cas is pretty and inspiring isn't he?
Jas: [Dean] &Alastair; teacher and student[info]crystalchain on March 26th, 2009 12:36 pm (UTC)
Omg the beginning is downright epic. The clips go so well with the song! I was so excited for this vid and you definintely didn't disappoint me, bb. This was amazing ♥ and why is Castiel so hot and gorgeous even when beat up? That's just not fair.
thandie: preciousssss[info]thandie on March 26th, 2009 12:52 pm (UTC)
Jensen in that torture scene makes us all feel ashamed for liking a torture scene :P He looks SO badass (and deviantly sexy).
I'm glad you liked it, and I agree that Castiel with blood on his face is almost better than Dean with blood on his face, and I can't believe I said SUCH a thing...but really, he's so perfect with those BLUE eyes of his and rumpled clothes and hair. I don't even know how to deal with him.
yellowhorde[info]yellowhorde on March 26th, 2009 12:56 pm (UTC)
That was cool! And Castiel is, as always, AWESOME!
thandie: bad cop hot cop[info]thandie on March 26th, 2009 12:58 pm (UTC)
Thank you! Castiel is so SO awesome, I needed to express all of his badassery on vid to feel better with myself :P
the only water in the forest is the river: spn: team castiel[info]nyoka on March 26th, 2009 01:06 pm (UTC)
Beautiful character study! And it just comes off as epic. Everything I love about the Angels storyline in 3 minutes. Fantastic job, hon!
thandie: J2 b&w[info]thandie on March 26th, 2009 01:27 pm (UTC)
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it, and that you think it gives off epic vibes. I wanted desperately to do that with these angels, but so far we haven't had all this epic phootage, so to speak. I hope in the future they'll invest more in special effects...I think they should, cause the storyline needs those lately :P
♥
absrip[info]absrip on March 26th, 2009 05:15 pm (UTC)
Wow you finished it fast! And it just blows my mind! So dynamic, scary and amazingly well put together:P Love the little image cuts throughout the vid, and the subtle shake effects and don't even get me started on the torture scenes*gah* And Castiel, damn is he pretty, almost to much to see so much of the guy in one place.*grins*

This is one hell of a vid Lu, keep them coming;)

Ps. The song is sooooo perfect!
thandie: dean+castiel=otp[info]thandie on March 26th, 2009 08:39 pm (UTC)
Oh Ania, you are a sweetheart, seriously.
Wow, thanks for mentioning the little cuts, cause they seem like easy maybe, but they fave me HELL, I swear! They kept being out of time ^^'
Cas is SO SO pretty, and in fact i wanted to concentrate all his awesome in 3 minutes, cause we always seem his so scattered through the episodes! :P GLad you appreciate the effort ♥

The song is fantastic, like written for season 4! It FORCED me to make the video, with its sheer perfection :)
Lola L.[info]lola_thursday on March 26th, 2009 05:58 pm (UTC)
Woah. This was *wonderful*

I am going to have to watch this many, many times.

And the song is really striking, and perfect for the imagery. The editing also blew me away.

loved it! (and glad to have you newly on my flist :)
thandie: ass guitar[info]thandie on March 26th, 2009 08:41 pm (UTC)
Oh HI NEW FRIEND OF MINE :)
Oh gosh, already aersome fb from you, you are the best, seriously! ♥

I'm glad you like the song! It could sound odd and maybe scary in places, but I love UNKLE so much, I just couldn't not use it! And also happy you liked the editing, I tried hard to make it look dynamic to the odd beat :)

"(and glad to have you newly on my flist :)"
Right back at you!
Reese (aka. Jaidanwolf)[info]dreamrequiem on March 26th, 2009 09:10 pm (UTC)
I love this one. Beautiful choice of song with smooth editing and a wonderful choice of clips. Great job :*)
thandie: bad cop hot cop[info]thandie on March 27th, 2009 10:28 am (UTC)
Thank you so much! The song really seemed to be written for this season, I had to try it out :)
"with smooth editing"
It was pretty tricky with this song, I'm so very happy that you liked it ♥

Oh, sweetie. This is fantastic. Myjaw is hanging open. Such a wonderful collection of Castiel moments to highlight his changes. Awesome!
I can't talk in depth now about the music and the editing - which were a stunning combination - because I'm brain!dead. New Car, yay! But all of it is stunning. I need to watch it many more times. ♥
thandie: addicted jared[info]thandie on March 27th, 2009 10:59 am (UTC)
Annina! Thank you! ♥
I wanted to put all that Castiel we have in a place, so I can look at him in all his awesome whole instead of having to watch a gazillion of eps :P
I'm so happy you liked it!
Hi New Car, hi!!! :D
ashley: spn - an unwavering hell;[info]kitsu84 on March 27th, 2009 03:48 am (UTC)
That video is downright epic, bb. Easily one of the best vids I've seen in a long, long time. I will definitely be recing this bad boy.
thandie: preciousssss[info]thandie on March 27th, 2009 11:00 am (UTC)
OMG, thank you so much! You just made me completely giddy with this comment, seriously, and thank you SO much for the rec! ♥
Drew: (spn) Castiel is love[info]kiscico on March 27th, 2009 04:30 am (UTC)
Great video! I love how well the lyrics worked with everything. I especially liked the last little bit where it seemed, to me, that Castiel was remebering all the good times, especially with Dean.

Awesome vid!
thandie: bad cop hot cop[info]thandie on March 27th, 2009 11:01 am (UTC)
Thank you! Yes, the lyrics worked perfectly with the phootage, I was extremely lucky with this song.
And yes, in the last part it's Castiel remembering and reaching a decision :)

Thank you so much! I tried to pick up the better shots, but they are always pretty and awww-inspiring anyway, it was not too difficult ;)

Uhm, holy shit, you've basically captured all of the Dean/Castiel moments that mean the most to me in the most poignant way possible. Whoa. I really kind of worship you right now. *_*
thandie: dean+castiel=otp[info]thandie on March 27th, 2009 11:05 am (UTC)
Tracy! I'm so glad you liked this, you are The Dean/Castiel conoisseur around here, so I keep your opinion on that very high :P
They are so pretty and in love, aren't they? Even if I try to be subtle it's just RIGHT THERE to be seen.

Sorry I'm late!!!!!!!!
Love the pathos in the song and in everything you put in this vid!The beginning was FANTASTIC!Seriously,loved it!And I really like your editing,you did a really good job with kickdemonsass!Sam you know,that scene is so freaking cool!Jared brings on the intensity and the danger!♥
My english is sucking so freaking much I will start spekaing italian....cough-cough...
Ok,come ti è venuto in mente di NON ISCRIVERTI alla Sweet Charity?Ammettilo,ti ho spaventata io...e avresti avuto ragione!Perchè ti avrei comprata e obbligata a diventare mia schiava e crearmi un fantastico Dean!video tutto tormentato e dark e....ormai è fatta!Mi devi un favore!
thandie[info]thandie on March 28th, 2009 11:46 am (UTC)
Allora anche io scrivo in italiano!
GRAZIE!!! Prima di tutto :)
Sono contenta che ti è piaciuto l'inizio, in effetti è la parte migliore secondo me ^^' Ma poi Dean in quelle scene è SUPER. And Sam in quella scena, wow. Dovevo usarla assolutamente.

Ma ci ho provato!!! Giuro! Solo che c'è stato un errore con la precedente volta che mi ero iscritta per fare il video Drive. Credo che il mio bidder forse doveva fare qlcs, tipo chiudere l'item o confermare che avevo fatto il video, e non l'ha fatto! Io so che quello che dovevo fare l'ho fatto bene...
Ho provato a scrivere via email per capire qual'era il problema, ma non ho fatto in tempo a ricevere risposta...per questo non mi sono iscritta :(
C'è da sperare che il prossimo anno qualcun'altro prenda le redini di SC e si vada avanti!
LOL, ma pià dark e tormentato che in questo video come si fa!!!!?............e va bene, ti devo un favore, lo ammetto :P
C'è anche un'altra ragazza che mi ha proposto una canzone per un Dean video, dei Depeche, si chiama Wrong, conosci? Perchè semmai quello sarebbe veramente DARK. Può darsi che vi accontento entrambe ♥
