Cross-posted like whoa as usual. Cuz feedback is happy-making.

PS: I'm behind my flist reading/commenting because I've been keeping my mum company while she's in the hospital (in addition to the crazy vid-making)--so if I've missed something let me know. Otherwise, hold tight and I'll catch up soon :)

That was really cute! XD I love the title credits.

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I went on a bit of a font-downloading spree a few weeks ago so I tried to track down one that looked like the "friends" font. I'm really glad you liked it :)

[bitterlatinist.livejournal.com]

Another fabulous vid!!

I really liked the teeth brushing and wing-waggle beats.

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! I wish the footage from the deleted scenes was less fuzzy but the tooth-brushing tired pilots were just so cute that I used it anyway ;)

[nytel.livejournal.com]

Guh. You are totally the best. Thank you for making my day. :)

Yay for pilots!

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

*blushes* Thanks! I'm glad it made your day--pilots are notoriously good for perking up my moods too :D

[alissabobissa.livejournal.com]

Oh, boy, that just put the biggest, dumbest grin on my face! The cracky cuteness just keeps coming! Again, brilliant. :)

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

yay for big cheesy grins! I can't seem to fic/vid anything right now that ISN'T crack so I'm really glad everyone is enjoying it.

But who can resist pilot-crack? seriously!

[dionusia.livejournal.com]

How do you keep doing this? Heeee!

God, I loved it all -- and oh, the ending! Great job.

Never in a million years would I have thought of putting these two things together -- which is the genius of crack! Awesome!

Are you saying she was on crack when she made this? 'Cause that I would agree with. *G*

[canadiangirl-86.livejournal.com]

Commented at YouTube but I got a total kick out of this! Excellent work. Make more!

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Thanks J! I might have time to make one or two more tv theme crack-vids before the challenge ends this weekend...we'll see :)

So glad you are enjoying them though! Yay for wacky pilots!

[becisvolatile.livejournal.com]

You are going to kill me with these vids, too cute.

And the wing wiggling was well timed.

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

At least it will be a pleasurable death by pilot-cuteness, eh?

So glad you thought the timing worked well too--that's always a challenge with shorter vids. Thanks!

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

Awwwwwww. So damn adorable. :}

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I credit pilots entirely for the adorability factor :)

[nebakanezer]

It just doesn't get old, no matter how many times I watch it, I still LOVE every minute of it!!! love, love, LOVE IT!!! But please can I have some more? ;) what's next? :D

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

ack, help D! I'm having trouble settling on one song for the next vid--I've started and stopped three different ones because I'm either totally ADHD right now or my vid muse is being fickle and cranky!!!

I got about a third of the "speed racer" one done and then I freaked out because the song is just so insane that it will either be the most brilliant hilarious thing ever or it will make no sense at all.

And then I started storyboarding the "feel good time" and "supermassive black hole" ones--but I don't have a really clear picture of where I'm going with either of those.

My brain is not being very organized and it is wayyyyyy frustrating. Maybe I'll email all three songs to you and let you weigh in on the problem.

[lunar47.livejournal.com]

hah, that was cute. it made me laugh. well done.

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Thanks :) yay for pilot-induced giggles!

[woolly-socks.livejournal.com]

That is just CUTE. Ah, those were the days.

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Yay--so glad you liked it :D

Early-pilot nostalgia FTW!!!

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

*beams* OMG, that was SUPERCUTE! *bounces*

I hope your mum's ok!

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

yay! *bounces with you* It is because Pilots are OMGSOADORABLE when they play nice. Really happy you liked the vid too :D

My mum's fine (thanks for asking!). She had surgery on Tuesday and I'm just keeping her company while she recovers since it is boring/lonely in the hospital.

[yokiem.livejournal.com]

Cool, nice clip choices!

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[arielmoondance.livejournal.com]

Awesome vid- rock on!! I really enjoy seeing our pilots happy! SQUEEEE!!

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Yay for happy pilots!

Thanks for the awesome feedback :)

[beerbad.livejournal.com]

Cute!! :D

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Thanks A! *g*

[hazyshade.livejournal.com]

Hee! You're on an awesome crackvid-streak right now! The hug at the end fitted perfectly - it put a real smile on my face, so thank you :D

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Yay for pilot huggings! Those clips made me smile too :D

I can't help that the crackvids are taking over my brain! They're so much fun to make ;)

[i-am-girlfriday.livejournal.com]

That was freakin' awesome. Word. Yay for FRIENDS!

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

haha! 90's TV nostalgia and BSG just go hand in hand :D

[anno-superstar.livejournal.com]

cool! would have loved to see ALL the pilots though! ;)

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

I thought about that but the theme song is so short (and my clips are very Kara-centric on the whole so I probably wouldn't have been able to do justice to Sharon/Helo/Crashdown/Racetrack/Kat, etc ). Glad you still liked it :)

[ez-as-pi.livejournal.com]

Aw! Sweet...

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Thanks Pi :)

[brokenmnemonic.livejournal.com]

That's adorable :D Downright cracktastic...

You know there's a longer version of the song, too? I happen to have a copy around here somewhere I ripped off my CD ages ago... Not that I was a big fan of the early seasons of Friends, or anything...

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Thanks Ed :)

anno_superstar was also trying to convince me to expand this vid to the longer version of the song and covering ALL pilots (not just K/L)--it's very tempting so we'll see!

[lucyparavel.livejournal.com]

I loved this one so much! This is one of the best TV themes for Lee and Kara, I think. How did you find/make the text that is so close to "Friends"? I love how you even included the little starburst shapes!

My favorite friendly clip was the wing waggle with the two ships. Perfect! Great vid and sorry I'm so slow with feedback this week. I hope your mom is doing all right. Take care and update when you have time. *Hugs*

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Thanks L! I did a hunt for a "Friends" font before I made the vid--I'm so glad I found one because it really sold the title credits.

And I love the waggling wings too! It's such a fun visual representation of how Kara/Lee's friendship and relationship extends to flying and all areas of their lives. I'm really happy you enjoyed the vid :)

And thanks for your concern for my mum--she seems to be recovering from her surgery really well and I'm really touched by all the concern and support from my fellow fangirls. *hugs back*

[dianora2.livejournal.com]

This was ADORABLE. Loved it.
