BSG Vid: Come on and lie to me

[boomqueen]

I started this vid before Maelstrom, and then got all caught up in the ensuing craziness, so I'm only just posting this now. I think nebakanezer gets extra cookies this time for beta'ing outside her ship!

Song: "Lie to me" by Depeche Mode
Vidder: jcathm
Spoilers: Up through 3.14 "Taking a break"

"Lie To Me" by Depeche Mode
Come on and lay with me
Come on and lie to me
Tell me you love me
Say Im the only one

Experiences have a lasting impression
But words once spoken
Dont mean a lot now
Belief is the way
The way of the innocent
And when I say innocent
I should say naive
So lie to me
But do it with sincerity
Make me listen
Just for a minute
Make me think
Theres some truth in it

Promises made for convenience
Arent necessarily
What we need
Truth is a word
Thats lost its meaning
The truth has become
Merely half-truth
So lie to me
Like they do it in the factory
Make me think
That at the end of the day
Some great reward
Will be coming my way

Whoot! Even if I don't think their love is a lie. ;)

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Totally not saying their love is a lie--I REALLY think they do care about each other A LOT--but I thought the lyrics were a good match for Sam's willingness to put up with Kara's inconsistencies and infidelities in their marriage.

Plus, um--they're EXTREMELY PRETTY together in case I didn't mention that before ;)

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

They are exceedingly pretty. And I am remiss in saying that the vid is quite quite lovely. *pets them happily*

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Aw thanks! I think latteaddict's Kara/Sam "figured you out" vid is probably the most perfect vid for them, but I had lots of fun playing with them too.

Now I just need to find the right song to make an all-Sam one! That would be a blast!

[nytel.livejournal.com]

Guh! Totally reminds me of why I love K/S so much. Sam is like... the best.

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

He is! He puts up with so much and he still totally digs her...I really do love Anders!

[nytel.livejournal.com]

As much as I love Lee, if I could have either of them, I'd probably pick Sam. He's totally devoted, and it doesn't hurt that he's uber hot!

[latteaddict.livejournal.com]

Loved it! What a great Depeche Mode song for them and I loved the hints about Lee but nothing too obvious. The cutting up of the scenes and placing them in a different order was a great visual and really kept it fresh. We need more Kara/Sam vids!!!

oh, there's a brilliant Kara/Leoben vid out there using the song Crashed...it hits all of those sick twisty Kara/Leoben moments in a really addictive way. If you missed seeing it, I'll send you a link.

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It was kind of tricky deciding when/how to use Lee, because I still wanted it to be very much about Kara and Sam, so I'm really glad that wasn't too heavy-handed. And I was a little nervous about the clips too, since I cut and switched them around so much to fit the lyrics/mood.

Definitely need more Kara/Sam vids ;)

Ooooh, link me for the K/Leoben crashed one--sounds awesome!

[latteaddict.livejournal.com]

It was kind of tricky deciding when/how to use Lee, because I still wanted it to be very much about Kara and Sam, so I'm really glad that wasn't too heavy-handed.

It can be tricky, especially when pilots have a longer history than anyone else...every look has layers of meaning. But I thought you used the right amount of footage.

you'll love this Kara/Leoben vid!!! http://community.livejournal.com/galactica_vids/147936.html

[latteaddict.livejournal.com]

oh, and if you can, d/load the hi-res version....it's delicious!

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

aw damn! that was amazing! I'm watching a bunch of her other vids too and I think I'm in love...

[nekdlove.livejournal.com]

Ahh, poor Sam. I've never though that Sam never loved her, I just never thought that he was smart enough to realize that she loved him but loved Lee more. If Kara doesn't want him I'll have him.

Well done (again) my friend.

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Hee, I'll gladly accept sloppy seconds from Sammy anyday!

Thanks darling ;)

[pataka02.livejournal.com]

Oh the prettiness. Seriously, Kara and Sam are so hot on so many levels it's ridiculous. I love them as a couple... great job on the video!

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Hear hear for the crazy hotness of Kara and Sam! Makes the vid-making process highly enjoyable ;) Thanks for watching!

[pretty-fits.livejournal.com]

They are so hot together. Great video.

[rosie-posie77.livejournal.com]

the two are lovely together. well, actually kara's lovely with anyone!!

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Yes! I think I really have to agree with wisteria on this one: I'm Kara-sexual. She's just so amazingly gorgeous and she has fabulous chemistry with everyone! So yummy!

[rosie-posie77.livejournal.com]

she's a great role model, i think. as katee and as kara, too! love the way walks, talks, dresses. everything!

[vash137.livejournal.com]

What I love about your videos is the movement. You cut the scenes well, but you also pick scenes with great internal movement. It picks up the song and really moves with it.

On this vid, I loved the song and the vid. I also have to throw in my bid for Kara/Sam. Sam is (and I'll prolly get flamed for this) so much the better man for her than Lee. I mean, he LOVES her. Hardcore, no matter what. But at the same time, he's got principles. He manages the ride the line without becoming at all whipped. And he's probably the hottest guy in the series. And them together, whoa, the hotness just overflows.

Great vid! Feel the love...

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

That's awesome--I'm so glad the editing and pacing worked in this one too. Thanks for the great feedback!

And I love Kara/Lee (cuz I love angst and I love pilots and I love how they play off of each other), but I love Kara/anyone too--Sam being absolutely no exception because their chemistry is just through the roof. Trucco is INSANELY good looking...

[hollywoodgrrl.livejournal.com]

Aw, these two! You did a great job mapping their frakked up relationship. And the song is perfectly sad for them. Great work. :)

[supershineygirl.livejournal.com]

You've reminded me why I love Kara/Sam.

Now I'm torn. Kara/Sam or Kara/Lee? Love them both but which one do I love more?

I know I love Kara/Lee/Sam ahh that hotness of all three of them together.Hey why couldn't we have a unique relationship with the three of them married to each other. That way my little fangirly heart can have, Kara/Lee, Kara/Sam, Sam/Lee and Sam/Kara/Lee. That would be so hot that I would spontaneously combust!

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Dude, Kara/Sam/Lee is totally my OT3 for BSG. They ALL having amazing chemistry together. (I've got a Sam/Lee slashy crack-vid bunny in my head now, which looks like it might be just too much fun to put off making...)

lucyparavel did a K/S/L marriage fic (http://lucyparavel.livejournal.com/21527.html#cutid1) a little while ago--it was a much more dark and somewhat creepy version of how a threeway marriage might come about for them, but it was damn good.

[supershineygirl.livejournal.com]

Ooo must totally go and checkout the vid.

*sends the slashy crack-vid bunny, many naughty carrots*

Okay I know I should know this, but while I get the OT3 concept I am a little lost on the actual translation of what it stands for.

/hang head in shame

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...not sure either exactly now that you say it. I think it means "one true threesome" (as opposed to "one true pairing"=OTP), but I never looked it up or anything.

There is no shame in trying to decipher the crazy ways of fan-slang!
