Fanvid for the 80s Challenge!

[capnzebbie]

Okay! Here it is! It will be cross-posted to mkitty's 80s Video Challenge page--as soon as the page is up I'll link to it here. It should be a very cool page. :o) eta: here's the link to the challenge website!

For now though,

Right click and save


Song: White Wedding
Artist: Billy Idol
Summary: A Bawdy Comedy

Enjoy!

Many thanks to mkitty_03 and euphony_m for betas, advice and support. I know this was a hard one to beta, and if it weren't for you two, it wouldn't have made any sense at all! *hugs*

Other vids are in my memories.

Ahahaha! That was hilarious. I like the judicious splashes of color against all of the black and white. That really worked well. Great job!

[capnzebbie.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it! :)

I think people might be afraid of the Lexana in the summary. You might want to point out that it is a comedy. There's no reason why people shouldn't be downloading and drooling all over this!

[capnzebbie.livejournal.com]

As it turns out, I'm kind of relieved. I just realized that I need to revise it. I just emailed you. I've made this post private temporarily until I can upload the new version. So! If you could temporarily take the other one done (Sorry!!!), I'll get you the new version asap!

And geez, what should I use for a summary? Should I withhold the pairing? Or would it work just to say that it's a comedy?

[capnzebbie.livejournal.com]

I just posted a slightly revised version--I thought that stretch in the middle needed some extra commentary. If you don't mind, I'd like to hear what you think!

[capnzebbie.livejournal.com]

New version posted and the link emailed. What do you think of the new summary?

[mkitty3.livejournal.com]

I like the new summary. I've made the changes to the link and I'm off to change the summary:)

[capnzebbie.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Let me know what you think of the new and improved captions. :)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Whaaaa!--nothing's happening when I click!!!

[capnzebbie.livejournal.com]

Are you doing the "Save target as?" I've just done it about six times and it worked. It's only taking it a couple of seconds to download. I think I'll upload it to Yousendit and post a new link. Sorry!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

It's me, I think--I've been having problems all night. Grrr!

[capnzebbie.livejournal.com]

Okay, I sent you a yousendit link. Hope it works!

[femme-fire.livejournal.com]

Oh my...love this!!
This one is my fave so far :)
Great job!!

[supercaptain182.livejournal.com]

Just saw the link of Ms. Roxy's page. Hilarious. This is Lexana at its best. Great work, doll. :D

[talitha78.livejournal.com]

Sure! I'll download it when I get home tonight.

[mahaliem.livejournal.com]

This was sooo good. I loved it!

[ex-lexsbabym701.livejournal.com]

I loved it! And I was so doing the Billy Idol fist pump, too.

[capnzebbie.livejournal.com]

Thanks, femme_fire! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :)

[capnzebbie.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm glad it gave you a laugh. :)))

[capnzebbie.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, mahaliem!

[capnzebbie.livejournal.com]

LOL! I'm glad you liked it! Thanks!

[heliodor-a.livejournal.com]

Oh, this is so cool. I coudn't stop laughing. Great job!

[capnzebbie.livejournal.com]

*g* Thank you! I'm glad it made you laugh!

*loves*

I was in the car with Dolimir a couple of weeks ago when this played on the radio and I remember saying that this would so be a perfect and darkly funny little video, honest to goodness thinking of some of these clips, never knowing someone went and actually brought this idea to life.

This is hysterical and pure genius and wayyyy the heck better than just the clips that were grunning through my head at the time. And your narration cards? Were pricelesss! I'm *still* laughing - a LOT. ;D

BRAVO, hon!

*HUGS!*

Re: *loves*

[capnzebbie.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Thanks so much, astrea! I first thought about doing this in S4 when there were rumors of a Lex/Lana wedding fantasy sequence, but when it didn't happen, I gave up on it. Now, with all the Lexana this season and the Lexmas episode, I was reinspired.

I'm so happy it made you laugh! Thanks again for the wonderful feedback!!! *g*

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

OMG YOU ARE SO GREAT!!!!!
Ok, I may be a little drunk... and it may have taken me eons to download this... but you are definitely GREAT. I lol'ed in this vid. It delighted me no end and I'll definitely rec it.
Please forgive me the long time getting to it... we have ridiculous bandwidth restrictions in Australia.
I loved your black and white silent movie captions. And the gay. No really. thing! adoooooooored.
Awwwwwwww Lexy!

*G*

[capnzebbie.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! *ggg* I appreciate the enthusiastic (and maybe a little drunk) feedback! :D I'm so happy it made you laugh. I had fun making it and coming up with all the captions, and I'm glad you like the way it turned out. *hugs* And thanks for offering to rec it!

[thecaelum.livejournal.com]

*is ded* This is fabulous. I adore your sense of humor.

[capnzebbie.livejournal.com]

*G* Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it, caelum!

found it :)

[ender24]

no doubt, from all the lexana vids I have ever watched in my life, this was the most hilarious and brilliant one :D
you did such a great job, all the gay guys, who rejected princess lana, and only the prince Lex in the castle was worthy of her.
GOD; i think, I was lying on the floor after watching this vid, its just like, I have NEVER enjoyed lexana this much !!
the cutting, the music, how you changed the colors, everthing was a great match !!

I am close to wishing, you would make some Zod/Lex/Lana vids *g*
I am sure, you would do a great job!

Re: found it :)

[capnzebbie.livejournal.com]

Thank you! That's wonderful feedback! :) I had a lot of fun coming up with the captions and the storyline.

I feel like I stuck pretty close to canon with this one. *g* I mean, when you think about Lana and her men, well, my favorite Lana line EVER is when she says to Clark, "What am I, your sister?" when he backs off from kissing her.

I'll have to look at the LexZodana. Usually, the song kind of jumps out at me, rather than me looking for a song for a particular pairing or character. Hmmm...now I'm all thinking about it! *g*

Good :)

[ender24]

so glad, to make you thinking about it *g*
because, OMG , now you made me think, IS there actually fic, where Lana and clark are siblings!??!? *my brain is wandering around in scary places*

[xparrot.livejournal.com]

Heee! I am not a Lexana fan but this was - heeee! "I'm gay!" bwhaha!

[capnzebbie.livejournal.com]

Thank you! *ggg* I'm not a Lexana 'shipper either--the only way I could cope with it was to poke fun at it. :D

[ender24]

I want to repost all the entries for the challenge by mkitty, but it seems like nearly all dl links (not just yours) are invalid.
could you reupload it somewhere else, or would you mind, if i (when i find it) reupload it ?

[capnzebbie.livejournal.com]

The one in my LJ memories should be valid as soon as Mediamax finishes whatever stupid system maintenance it's doing right now. My computer is waiting for a new hard drive, so I don't have access to ANYTHING! (including my vids and wips--grrr) It's making me nuts!

As soon as my computer gets repaired, I'll .

[theme-clex-recs.livejournal.com]

thanks for letting me know, at least I know now that mediamaxx is playing crazy on all of you!

aww, sorry , I hope your new harddrive will arrive soon!!
