New vid: What's Mine is Yours (Orphan Black)

[frayadjacent]

Title: What's Mine is Yours
Fandom: Orphan Black
Song: "What's Mine is Yours" by Sleater-Kinney
Characters: Sarah Manning, Felix Dawkins, Siobhan Sadler, Kira Manning, Helena
Summary: Let's wreck their precious, perfect town
Much thanks to violace for beta and cheerleading!

Content Notes: Uses scenes through S2, but spoilers are more of the character/relationship variety than the plot variety. Lots of speed changes, stuttery cutting, flashing lights, spinning camera. Institutional violence. Violence and gore typical of the show, but I think the most...um, memorable violence/gore scenes have not been included. Feel free to ask specific questions about content.

Lyrics

Sit down, honey, let's kill some time.
Rest you head on this heart of mine
Tell me, honey, cause you look so blue
Just how did they, did they get to you?
Cause if it's all a waste of time
I'm gonna spent it
Yours and mine.

CHORUS:
Someone's in the kitchen
Cooking hearts over the stove
Don't lie to me, never say goodbye to me
I don't want to be here alone
Someone's at the front door
Selling Band-Aids for our sores
You can bleed it, as long as they don't see it
 I'm not going to be ignored

Come on darling, let's hang around
Let's wreck their precious, their perfect town.
If it's all a dirty shame,
I'm gonna do it night and day

(CHORUS)

Did you ever get the feeling
That you don't belong
Said the teacher in the classroom
I think there's something wrong
But your desks are too heavy
And your walls are too white
Your rules are all wrong
And it's either run or fight
But I'm still running
I'm still running

Sit down, honey, let's kill some time.
Rest you head on this heart of mine
Come on darling, let's hang around
Let's wreck their precious, their perfect town
If it's all a waste of time
I'm gonna spend it
Yours and mine

OH MY GOD.

[frayadjacent]

Heh, I hope that means you liked it, and were not horrified by it.

[violace]

:D :D :D :D

The moment when the other clones come in still gives me goosebumps and the ending makes me TEAR UP. I LOVE THEMMMM.

[frayadjacent]

Yay, thank you! And I LOVE THEM TOO. They are so great and I just can't believe how these characters stole my heart. Especially Helena, the little sneak. ;)

[china_shop]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeee, this is so great! *loves*

[frayadjacent]

Thank you!! <3

[jadelennox]

total awesomesauce. I love the Helena instrumental, and then the way she comes back into the dance party with all the rest. And the shots you choose for Kira, perf.

[frayadjacent]

Thank you! I'm really glad the Helena instrumental worked for you -- I loved the concept once I'd come up with it, but I also know it probably won't be everyone's' cup of tea (makes the vid long, the music is totally unmelodic, it's intentionally jolting, etc). So I'm very happy to know you liked it! :D

[endeni]

OMG, this vid! Helena's section is just astounding, the chilling music so perfect! She's a force of nature! And everything afterward, the rhythm, the passion, the fear and joy. SO GOOD! Have to watch again!
ETA: Also, OMG, Sleater-Kinney! So perfect! ;)

[frayadjacent]

Thank you!! I'm so glad you liked it, and that Helena's section worked for you! :D Also, YES, when I decided I wanted to make an Orphan Black Sadler family feels vid I went to Sleater-Kinney pretty quickly for inspiration, and I got like 5 vid bunnies! They are great for Orphan Black. And just in general. :D

[alwaystheocean]

I'm not going to watch this yet because I haven't seen S2 so I'd rather wait but I'm so excited it exists and you finished it! :D :D

[frayadjacent]

Yay, thank you! It'll still be here when you finish S2.

[selenak]

Fabulous. I wish I could give more intelligent vid feedback, but I'm just floored by the aweseomeness!

[frayadjacent]

I'm so glad you liked it, and thank you for commenting!

[odessie]

Oh wow, this is brilliant! Love what you've done with the Helena section, showing the fracturing of her mind with the dissonance of the music there, but it's all fabulous. Gave me all the family feels. <3

[frayadjacent]

Yay, thank you! I'm really glad you liked the Helena section -- I know it likely won't work for everyone but I'm glad it did for some people! I am quite fond of it myself. (And it was remarkably *easy*, what with the interesting and distinctive camera work they reserve for Helena. Plus her face.)

[revolutionaryjo]

Amazing! The introduction of Helena through the discordant section in particular!

[frayadjacent]

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it!

[goodbyebird]

I am on my knees for this vid. I would like to leave more coherent feedback and point stuff out, but that's going to take a while. I had to pause it twice on my first watch due to TOO MANY FEELS and my hands flying around and aaaahhhh. Holy shit, fray. Holy shit.

[frayadjacent]

Oh, this is such a happy-making comment, thank you!! <3 <3 <3

[restfield]

It's just... WOW. The whole vid is just one rollercoaster of awesomness, and Helena's part literally gives me goosebumps.

[frayadjacent]

Thank you for your comment, and I'm so glad you liked the vid!

What's Mine is Yours (Orphan Black)

[yourlibrarian]

I really liked the way the vid kept layering in the characters, building a complex cake with them. Clone cake :D

Re: What's Mine is Yours (Orphan Black)

[frayadjacent]

Clone cake! Probably not very tasty now that I think about it...

Thanks for your comment! I'm glad to know that the way I added in characters worked for you, because it felt like something I had to do carefully so it wouldn't feel like the vid was veering around too much. (Except when Helena is introduced, that was meant to be jolting, but hopefully in a good way.) :)

[caramarie]

Yay family! This is great and I love how you've used the music – especially during the Helena section and coming out of that, and the parallels between Sarah and Mrs S and basically ♥ ♥ ♥

[frayadjacent]

<3 <3 <3 is pretty much how I feel about them all too. Thanks so much for your comment and I'm really glad you liked the vid!

[silverr]

Yeah ... this was so so wonderful!

(The only bad thing about it is that as a result I want it to be April NOW!)

[frayadjacent]

Thank you! And yes I am so ready for season 3!

[usuallyhats]

This is AWESOME.

[frayadjacent]

Thank you!!

[laurashapiro]

This is absolutely fucking stunning.

Whoa, where to begin. Felix and Sarah's relationship at the top, captured in such tightly-cut motion, you get all the colors of love and nonsense and argument and betrayal, and then wow. Helena's guitar solo. Talk about using the music! That was a perfectly executed twist.

I love the way the vid expands and keeps expanding, building the family, the definition of family, but also ratcheting up the tension as the music changes. Showing the struggle. And then bringing us all together at the end in joy.

What a delight, and so perfectly put together! Congratulations on a masterpiece.

[frayadjacent]

Thank you so much! I will set aside this comment to treasure for ages.

When I started this I was hunting for a Sarah&Felix vid song, and I thought maybe this one would work if I took out the guitar solo. Then I realized it'd be even better as a Team Sadler (I.e., Sarah, Felix, Siobhan, and Kira) vid. Then that camping trip episode happened and Helena completely stole my heart (and I finally started to *get* her) and pretty soon it was about everyone and five minutes hardly seemed long enough. 😀

[giandujakiss]

Oh wow, this is amazing.

[frayadjacent]

Thank you! :D

[marina]

OMG what a SUPER GREAT vid! I loved the Sarah/Felix/Siobhan/Kira parts epsecially :D

[frayadjacent]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked those parts -- they are my faves on the show and I wanted to do them justice. :D

[riverlight]

That was stunning. Oh my god.

[frayadjacent]

Thank you!! :D

[akamarykate]

I love this. LOVE. The guitar solo/Helena section is pure genius, and the whole family dynamic that runs through and builds and still comes back to Sarah and Felix in the end...amazing.

[frayadjacent]

Thank you!! I was really pleased when I realized that instead of cutting out the guitar solo, I could make it about Helena! And I'm super happy to hear that you liked how it came back to Sarah and Felix at the end -- they really are the emotional core of the show (and the vid) for me.

Also I love your icon!!

[dodificus]

What an amazing family portrait

[frayadjacent]

Thank you! And I love that phrase to describe it. I think I'll take that up. :D

[chaila]

I'm sure I'm totally missing some nuances here, but this is great! I love the complexity of the family dynamics, and the mix of love, protectiveness and desperate violence. Badass punk rock Team Sadler forever!

[frayadjacent]

Aw, thank you so much for watching and commenting even though you're not that into OB. :D And "the complexity of the family dynamics, and the mix of love, protectiveness and desperate violence" pretty much covers it -- I don't think you missed much! <3

[kouredios]

I'm so glad this is getting recced in my Flist because I totally missed it when you posted! This is great! Needs moar rewatching to get all the details, but I'm loving it a lot on the first watch.

[frayadjacent]

Yay, thank you for the kind comment! And I was delighted by the rec as well. :D

[cofax7]

Holy CRAP that was AWESOME. And epic. Must watch it over and over and over.

[frayadjacent]

Yay, I'm so glad you liked it, and thank you for commenting!

[zahrawithaz.livejournal.com]

WOW.

I love the way Helena takes over the narrative when the music turns more discordant--it felt like a reference to her signature leitmotif--and there are so many clever and interesting moments to praise. I like that you take so much time to ground the story in Sarah & Felix & their relationship before opening it up; I love the parallel of Sarah looking up at the mansion ceiling & being trapped in the bathroom; I love the happy montage at the end & the fact that Alison & her husband hiding the body is included in it! Great work all around.

[frayadjacent]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment! I'm really glad to hear that all these things worked for you, because they were all very much intentional. I'm glad you liked the vid! :D
