Vid: Zebra, Due South

Way back in the mists of June, [info]aerye snagged a vid I put up for [info]fan_the_vote. Here it is at last. :)

Zebra, Due South
Music by the John Butler Trio.
Ray Kowalski, and all his faces.
DivX avi (19 MB), please right-click and save!

Many thanks to [info]kaneko for finding the awesome song, [info]cesperanza and [info]cmshaw for brainstorming help, to all of them and to [info]elynross for beta, and most especially to [info]aerye, for inspiration, source, and beta.

Comments and feedback as always much appreciated.

My other vids are at http://www.intimations.org/vidding/.

I embrace you and twirl you and hug you and generally take liberties with your person! This is wonderful and splendid and I adore you for making it happen.

I have also stuck up a note at [info]ds_noticeboard so that everyone can come and worship you.

Man, oh man.

It's always such a pleasure to watch your vids, and this time was no exception.

I *loved* this, so very Ray, and the editing was amazing, as always.

Thank you!

Waaaah!

I can't get it to play at work, which means I won't be able to at home either (since some stupid windows update that I didn't mean to okay stripped my vid-playing abilities). Do you know of a good site to download whatever codec thingy (phear my mAd teRmiNoLoGy skiLLz) I'll need to play it at home? (Windows. Laptop. XP.)

WOW! What a great vid! I really enjoyed that (and you know, fancy CKR *more than ever*, which is also not a bad outcome).

You reminded me how much I LOVE RayK. Great clips, great pacing, a new and spiky perspective. Damn, he's expressive with his whole body, isn't he?

This was a delight! thank you for sharing it!

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

This is outstanding!!! I adore RayK beyond the telling, and this is a kind of visual summation of why.

Thank you so much.

I knew [info]aerye had a vid coming from you, so I knew it would be great, but this... this is just enormous-stupid-grin-inducing, and I adore it to pieces.

Beautiful job! Fantastic pacing, so perfect for the subject matter. (And, man, I love me some RayK.)

::goes off to watch it again::

(a) I adore this vid. So. Much.

(b) The version I downloaded seems to be out of synch. I'll re-download, but if anyone's getting video running after the music's over -- that's not how it's supposed to be.

I haven't heard of this problem otherwise -- did you still have it after the re-download?

Fantastic. Lots of little bits I didn't notice in the eps. Great stuff.

Oh god, that was GREAT! That song is RayK all over, isn't it? And, this will be of such use as a pimping vid! Thanks so much for sharing it with us.

OMG

Love this vid so much.

Really, really want to rent the episodes and watch them. I totally don't have the time to do that.

But OMG.

You have made my night, pure and simple.

More extensive feedback to follow later, for now I will have to sigh a happy sigh.

Whee!

You captured RayK's motion and body language. The jump cuts were well timed and I liked the "stop/slow" break in the vid - this vid made me want to dance and weave.

YAY!!!!! SO NEAT! It's like visualized syncopation! I had no clue what was going on, but I love it so much! =D You totally took advantage of the little characterization movements and it's so beautiful, thank you, thank you!

I was predisposed to like this because of the title *g* and the fact that John Butler grew up in my corner of the world!

I especially liked the clips to "gentleman", "violent", "black & white" and "informed". The scenes where you speeded up the original clips (I think?) were interesting.

The scene of Ray air-boxing seemed perfectly timed with the music, so I don't think my download was out of sync at all.

Worth a 3 hour download time. Thank you!

Awesome and inspiring, my dear! As absolutely always, but you still somehow manage to outdo yourself every time. How do you do that? *g* I mostly didn't know what was going on, but what style and rhythm and flair. Beauty.

Ray-K-est vid *ever*. The cuts and the music were all jerky and spiky in a way that reminded me a lot of the way he moved. It was great!
