Disappear - a video for Josef
Here's my first video for Josef!
on YouTube:

Everyone else has probably always known this .... but while making this video, I noticed for the first time that there are panels from "Matasaburo of the Wind" all over the walls of Josef's office. The art's not just on the ceiling; it's everywhere. I love that painting, and can't imagine how I missed seeing the walls for so long!

Re: Disappear - a video for Josef
Oh, Shadow...I love it! The song is really captivating. I love the lyrics... and as usual, your choice of scenes and subtle use of effects makes for a hauntingly beautiful video. I love the overlay of the picture on his face.... I'm glad that you're using it as a banner.
Isn't the use of that painting wonderful in Josef's office? I'm so sorry they got rid of it... although the story was great, and I suppose it was worth losing the wonderful office, in service of that wonderful episode.

Josef Kostan at his best and worst times, his loves lost and current. That was a superb video sweetie, the effects you used were perfect and it all flowed brilliantly.
I loved it, thank you so much for sharing your first entry into Josef's world with us

Re: Disappear - a video for Josef
Thanks Allegrita ... I'm glad you liked that song; I wasn't too sure what anyone would think of it! It's kind of an offbeat choice for Josef, but the song really struck me as "his" when I heard it. I'm so pleased that you liked the overlay, too.allegrita wrote:Oh, Shadow...I love it! The song is really captivating.

Re: Disappear - a video for Josef
Super, Shadow. I love this song and it's a great fit for Josef - the rhythm of the video builds beautifully and creates a wonderful portrait of the man and the vampire.
Re the painting, it's lovely to see it so prominent in the video - I don't know if you bought one of the prints when Alex Gross made them available but it looks so lovely hanging on my wall! A permanent reminder of all things Moonlight...

This is really wonderful and the song is a perfect fit. Vampires have to "disappear" constantly. I loved seeing so much of the painting and I love the clips you picked for Josef as well.

I discovered LIlly's thread about the painting only a short time ago and had just assumed the prints were long since sold out, but when I went to look at the web site today, they seemed to still be available. Hmm!
And- though it's not likely to be finished any time soon - I've gotten started on a certain new video ....

Re: Disappear - a video for Josef
Thanks so much! I'm really glad you liked this song for Josef, and the clips. I'd always wished that the camera would linger a bit longer on Josef's ceiling, for a proper look, so I tried to do that a bit in this video.cassysj wrote:This is really wonderful and the song is a perfect fit.
