Summary: That body was made to look like a person. We were made in God’s image.
Length/Format: 3.36, (Xvid, Stream)
Notes:
The inspiration for the vid came from the fact that this year marks the 150th anniversary of the publication of “The Origin of Species” and the 200th anniversary of Darwin’s birth. I’ve always been struck by the similarities between T:SCC and BSG and I tried to show some of that here. As humanity teeters on the edge of extinction they slide down the evolutionary tree of life whilst the machines evolve into better beings.

Video Title: It’s Not Over Yet
Song Title/Artist: It’s Not Over Yet - Goldfrapp
Show: Merlin BBC
Summary: Nimueh shows Morgana the path to her destiny.
Length/Format: 2.53, (Xvid, Stream)
Notes: No matter what version of the Arthurian legend I’ve watched or read I’ve always found Morgana the most interesting character. “Merlin” has been no exception. I was struck by how awful it must be to be a seer to know that you are destined to betray and lose everything and everyone you hold dear. Merlin’s magic will go on to earn him authority, respect and love in Arthur’s Camelot whereas Morgana is destined to be alone and ostracised by her “gift” in short she is going to become very much like Nimueh. I wanted to explore that in this vid. I imagined that Nimueh was connected to Morgana in the same way as the Dragon is to Merlin. So here we have Nimueh converting Morgana into Morgan le Fay and rather enjoying herself while she’s doing it. The femslash vibe is entirely intentional so feel free to just look at the pretty.

Video Title: Smiley Faces
Song Title/Artist: Smiley Faces - Gnarls Barkley
Show: Torchwood
Summary: Team Torchwood and “how hard this life can be.”
Length/Format: 3.05, (Xvid, Stream)
Notes: Premiered at Club Vivid, Vividcon 08.
This was made during my old comp’s death throes. As a result it isn’t quite as flash as originally conceived (only the title sequence remains of Charmax’s fancy Torchwood vid that never was) nevertheless I feel my fondness for team Torchwood does come across and that’s the main thing. Gwen and Jack have the best smiles in fandom.

Video Title:I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor
Song Title/Artist: I Bet You Look Good On the Dancefloor - Arctic Monkeys
Show: Life On Mars/Ashes To Ashes
Summary: The Gene Genie gets his groove on.
Length/Format: 2.53, (Xvid, Stream)
Notes: Premiered at Club Vivid, Vividcon 08.
What struck me most about the differences between LoM and A2A wasn’t so much the difference between 70s and 80s but more the socio-economic and regional differences. My 1980s childhood looked much more like LoM than A2A. I went out of my way to make comparisons between Alex’s Middle class 80s London and Sam’s working class Manchester. In case anyone was wondering the title sequence was heavily influenced by “The Sweeney.”

Bronze Ambition gets a new look! I hope y’all like it?

Vividcon convention, held every year in Chicago, the equivalent of the Oscars for vidders, is in 10 days time. Although I will not be going myself I have submitted 3 videos 2 of which premiere at Club Vivid (party night) and 1 which will show at the non-attending premiere show. This is just a heads up about me releasing all 3 online after Vividcon weekend. The Club Vivid vids are “Life On Mars/Ashes To Ashes” and “Torchwood.” The other premiere is for a little known British drama “Fingersmith.”

See you shortly.
