Music Video: The Professional

[mood|

SO NERVOUS!!!!]

[music| "Smooth criminal" ~ Michael Jackson... obviously!]

Uh... the vid is finished. It's done. I mean... you know, complete.

So, eh... it's rendering right now. 20 minutes or so to finish. Then a few more minutes to upload it to its Angelfire page and then I'll post it here.

...

Right now I'm perfectly fine. Really fine. Seriously. I'm fine. "Fine" is definitely the right word.

...

Yup, totally fine.

Ok, so it's finally here, I'm still fine... even finer now, if you ask me.

Smooth Criminal
Léon/The Professional
Song: "Smooth criminal" by Michael Jackson
Description: This is a general movie vid, which could be called The Professional in 4 minutes. But in the end it focused a bit more on Mathilda and Léon/Mathilda.
AN: There's still one bit at the end that is annoying the heck out of me 'cause I can't believe I let that pass. But I'll fix that after I have at least one version online for you guys to see.^^

Yesterday a friend of mine asked me to show her what a project in Video Factory looked like, and I happened to be finishing this vid by then, so I thought I'd share with you just so you know how complicated this project was:

*hates rendering process*

Grrr. A completed vid should just appear, as if by magic, online, ready to go.

I second that! Rendering is the devil!

I'm starting a new thread to just say, "I can't believe I just saw that!" It's like every breath, a whole new WOW! comes up. Love love love the slight revision. I know it wasn't easy but you pulled it off. From each shot to each "Ow!" this is freakin' genius. Next time I get off my lazy behind and make new recs, this is going to the top of my list.

My words betrayed me. I also meant to say that I LOVE how you (just as the movie) balanced the fact that there was killing as well as genuine caring shown. I'm looping it (of course) and every single time I find something new that intrigues me. I'm loving this as much as "Clocks"! TWO masterpieces. Not to mention my favoritest *ahem* and "Mad World"....

You ROCK!

Dude! That was awsome!!! I don't remember a thing about this movie, but I do know it's a great one! I didn't know that Michael Jackson song btw!
Great, great, great, great... GREAT job!!! Very nice!

You made me remember 'Clocks'! *runs to see Clocks again*

Hey there, I'm from hgforever.

I just wanted to say I watched your vid and it was amazing, I am incredibly impressed. Well done and eat lots of chocolate, you deserve it ;o)

P.S. What movie is that? :o/

Hello there!^^

thank you SO MUCH!!! I'm so glad you liked it... this vid took a lot of time to be finished, so I'm really happy you liked it.^^

PS: The movie is called "The Professional", though the original title was "Léon", with Jean Reno, Natalie Portman, and Gary Oldman.

OMG, I must have DLed this vid when you first posted it to

vidding and simply spaced it. I watched it just now. like three times. I am going to copy the squee from my own LJ here so you can know how much I loved it.

---

Seriously, I think I just saw the best vid in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE. Well, one of the best. It was as good as than

recycledmedia's newish Fraser vid 'Borrowed Home', or her TS vid 'Fingerprints'.

Jesus. I mean, I'm stunned. The vid is to the movie The Professional, and the song is Smooth Criminal. Of course, there is no email or site of LJ name listed on the vid except for Di, so I have no fucking idea where I even got the damn vid. If anyone else knows this vid, and can tell me who the vidder is, I will be SO DAMN GRATEFUL. Because I was to squee to this vidder. This is one of my fav movies, and damn, the vid was like the movie in five minutes. It was perfect. The song could have been trite, probably should have, but it fits the tone of the movie SO WELL!

---

So, I think that you rock. Thanks so much for vidding one of my fav movies!!!

OMG! I'm speechless here... "Thank you" can't even begin to cover it.

Well, I'll try anyway. THANK YOU very, very much for your comments. You're too kind! *bows*

I hope you don't mind, but I just pimped your vid in my LJ.

Here by way of

abelladonna and glad I came by. Wow.

I haven't seen this movie in years, but this vid makes me want to buy the movie and wallow in it. Watch it repeatedly, then watch this vid again and again and again.

This song is so damn perfect for the movie. I have to go watch the vid again. Wow.

I watched your vid this morning and it's great! You did an excellent job! Hubby never has much to say about my vids, but he said yours was great and now he wants to go get the movie - high praise indeed!

Sooooo cool! I was laughing at how perfect you got the timing on various parts, like the knife at the guy's throat, Gary Oldman pacing down the hall shooting, and when he screams...

The Mathilda parts were very moving. A brilliant mix of fun and emotion!

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I've added your Leon vid to the recommendations link on my website. I love your vid and I had to share it with others. Here is the link:

I hope to later make some sort of graphic to make this seem more formal and award-like. Thanks.
