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.

[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]

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

[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. ;)

[ghost_lingering]

YES, sorry, I was going to write up more, and then I watched it again and then I got distracted by dinner. BUT IT IS GREAT. All the things are great about it!!! I think I love the Felix section the best because FELIX, but I also love the similarities between Mrs. S/Sarah/Kira and how that section goes down and HOLY FUCK is Helena creepy. In a great way! BUT SO CREEPY. And I love the dance party at the end, and Sarah with all her expanded family.

[frayadjacent]

Yay!! And Felix is so great. And easy to vid! He and Helena were definitely had the most straightforward visuals, both because of their expressive faces and body language, and Helena attitionally with the distinctive camera-work they do on her. I was really glad to find a lot of shots that got across how much Felix supports Sarah and how much he fears that she will abandon him.

[ghost_lingering]

Oh by the way, this part I think the most...um, memorable violence/gore scenes have not been included of your content notes made me laugh out loud because you're right: there are some pretty memorable gore scenes.

[china_shop]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeee, this is so great! *loves*

[frayadjacent]

Hee hee, there are indeed. I didn't mind them when I watched but I didn't have the stomach to edit them, even if they would have worked in the vid.

[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.

[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! ;)

[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

[selenak]

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

[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]

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

[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

[frayadjacent]

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

[frayadjacent]

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

[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.

[restfield]

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

[frayadjacent]

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