And so it begins (again)

[ruuger]

It is now September 1st, so I would like to welcome everyone - members both old and new, contributors, watchers and lurkers - to the fourth (where does the time go!) annual Babylon 5 Love Month.

We still have ten days unclaimed, so if you're feeling creative, it's not too late to sign up or pick up an additional day.

I hope everyone has fun here the next month watching, reading, and admiring the creations our contributors will be sharing with us on their selected days. And don't forget to leave feedback to the writers and artists if you liked their work.

Fanvid: "Saved the World Today"

[amatara.livejournal.com]

Hi there! Filling the very first day on my very fist B5 Love Month, and that with the very first vid I ever made... can you believe I'm a teensy bit nervous? *bounces*

So, about the vid: despite me being mainly a Centauri-and-Narn (and to a somewhat lesser degree, Minbari) lover, I managed to make it an ensemble piece after all! That's to say, two-thirds is ensemble, the middle third is - well, it should be quite clear who my favorite is. *g* Don't be deceived by the title: it 's ironic more than anything else, as the vid is pretty angsty - though the final part should bring some comfort, at least. Since I'm new to this whole vidding thing, feel free to point out any stuff I might have handled better - I'm all up for learning!

There's an embedded Youtube vid at the bottom of this post, while the direct Youtube link is here. You can also download the vid in MPG (huge file, 200 MB) and AVI-DIVX (a slightly more normal 50 MB). I noticed the Youtube clip tends to be sluggish the first time it's played... If that happens, just let it play once all the way through without peeking (!); the second time (once it's in the cache, I assume?) it should be much better!

So, here you go. Please, enjoy!
