MV of the week;

This week has been an ultimate bitch, no? I'm tired, I'm pissed off and I should really be doing that homework which is hindering my life oh so much, but I just feel so inclined to come on here and post! I know, I'm immensely disorganised, aren't I? >.<>PatronusProductions (or Amber), who is a brilliant creator of MVs and, judging by her YT channel, she vids Harry Potter (awesome), Lord of the Rings (super awesome) and Twilight (Not awesome at all... but that's just me). This therefore, led me to picking one of these three fandoms:

Should I pick Twilight? No, Twilight's for pansies.

Should I pick Harry Potter? It is a candidate, but the MVs can heavily focus on the romantic aspect rather than the emotional aspect, which sometimes can be a weakness.

And finally, should I pick Lord of the Rings? Once again, it is risky due to the amount of alternative universe involved, but, overall, out of these three fandoms, it is the one which mostly focuses on the emotional depth of the characters.

And so, Lord of the Rings* was chosen, but which video do I choose to fall in love with? And that was when one magically caught my eye.

Now, this MV is about our favourite hobbit superhero...*drum roll*... Frodo Baggins! Okay, well he isn't technically my fave hobbit (that place goes to Pippin Took) but I do have a soft spot for him, despite all his crack facial expressions. Nevertheless, this video really does capture the angst and trauma the Ring imposes upon Frodo. This is done through the user's extreme precision regarding the technical factors she has included.




Well, as I've mentioned before, the video is pretty much all about Frodo and how he practically descends into insanity and paranoia because of the Ring. The user has done an immaculate job in picking all the right scenes, especially since Frodo, as I have aforementioned, likes to pull some pretty sweet faces.

"The ring, Sam... it's so heavy." *constipated look*

But as I was saying, before I went on that rather disturbing tangent, the user has picked some pretty suited moments, therefore making this video eye-catching and certainly not plotless. This is due to the fact that all the different sides of Frodo have been displayed for the viewer. This is all evident throughout certain scenes in the video, where we firstly see the strong Frodo, whom is willing to carry the burden and have the Ring destroyed in the fires of Mount Doom. Though he is willing at the beginning, we soon see Frodo losing his sense of self control, as he is slowly falling to the power of the Ring. Despite the short duration of the video, it still has a solid conclusion, hinting that Frodo's journey is over, but that there are still scars that will never enitrely heal.

The technical aspect of this video was also quite astonishingly wonderful. One of the first things that stuck out to me was the colouring, which gradually changed as the video commenced. At the beginning of the video, before Frodo begins his journey, there is no colour, but only a blurry effect around the edges of the each scene, which remained throughout the course of the video. After Frodo begins his journey, the normal colours of the film are kept, but the contrast is toned down a bit. The different colour tones and the blurry effect in this video represent, in my opinion, the many emotions Frodo experiences in his journey to Mordor, which are primarily confusion and paranoia. The user is also fairly masterful in her cutting skills. This is due to the fast transition from scene to scene and her effective use of fading.

The song is also another technical factor which added to the emotional depth of Mr. Frodo. The song is another version of Crawling by Linkin Park from their Reanimation album. The remix is called Krwling and what really struck me was the beautiful use of violins at the beginning of the song. This is really suited to this video, due to the context in which Lord of the Rings is set. Not only that, but the song lyrics really do match with the situation Frodo is going through: Crawling in my skin. These wounds they will not heal.

And last, but certainly not least, the user's inclusion of dialogue from the film allowed the video to keep a fair share of authenticity, therefore making it a bit more understandable for the viewer. I think that it is a small but fantastic touch to the video.

Overall, even though it is an exceedingly short MV (1:02), I'm going to give it a 5 out of 5, due to it's believability and it's deep representation of Frodo. I think it's a great LotR fanvid in both content and technical aspects, but that's just me. Here it is for you to judge:



Anyway, thanks for reading! Over and out.

*No, The Ding Dong Song video did not inspire me to review an LotR vid!

The Ding Dong Song;

So, we're at school, during lunch and Caroline says "OH EM GEE, it's just been playing in my head!" and I say, "Dear Caroline, what's been playing in your head?" and she replies "...THE DING DONG SONG"

And that was when Nadine could not remove that vile piece of 'music' from the icy chasm of her mind. Therefore, I have decided to post it here! I orginally discovered this odious song on a Lord of the Rings spoof (which I shall post), where this one dude lipsynched this song to make it look as if The Mouth of Sauron* is singing to the Fellowship. It's Absolutely hilarious, because he's timed it really quite well. Anyway, the video is made by a user named freiheitskampfer and here it is (Just a note: this is not my MV of the week):




Isn't absolutely horrendous? I think so.
Anyway, over and out!
Nadine xx

*You would'nt know the Mouth of Sauron, unless you have read the books or seen the extended edition of the third film.

Must express my excitement;

I know, two posts in one day isn't really how I roll, but how can I resist a post about this:






If you are not excited for this, then you're obviously not as mad as a hatter. Kinda sucks to be you, huh?
That is all.

Sailor princesses, with a twist;

Okay, so I'm at home, with a cold, trying to do school work, listening to Bjork's version of Gloomy Sunday and chugging chocloate milk, when I say to myself "hey, why don't I add a new blog post!" So, yes, here I am posting a bloggity blog blog.

Well, today's post is going to be kind of similar to the one I did about 'The Regal Twelve', but the artworks I want to show you are very different.

SO, I don't know about all of you, but I'm a huge fan of Sailor Moon. Not only am I a huge fan of Sailor Moon, but I also really, really, really like classic non/Disney animated films. But what's even better than these two awesome fandoms separately, is them combined. That's right, bicthes, you heard it from the best. COMBINED.

Anyway, enough with that. This set of awesome anime style artworks are made by a prosperous Deviantart user named DracheaRannak. You may or may not have heard of him, but this guy is an anime genius. Now, the artworks are seriously (non)Disney princesses/heroines in Sailor Scout form and, let me tell you, they are fan-fucking-tastic. I liked them so much, I even showed them to my mother and, believe me, that's saying something. Okay, so I'm just going to stop with my rambling and post some of the images, just so you can be strcuk by their awesomeness:








Okay, so these are defintely not all of them, they're just the ones I thought were the biggest babes or the ones I grew up with. BUT, if you want to see the rest of them and a character description of each, just go here: http://drachearannak.deviantart.com/gallery/#Sailor-Princess

And please, while you're at it, check out the rest of his gallery, because his art is truly and utterly magical!

Alright, so what do you think? If you ask me, I'd say it's one of the most innovative set of anime artworks I've ever seen. I really love how he has used two categroies he's passionate about and then merging them together to make epicly epic cartoony goodness. What I'd really like him to do (if it's possible), is to turn the Sailor Scouts into animated (non)Disney princesses. Now, Mistoffolees would like that very much. ^.^

Well, thanks for reading. OH and just a question (again)! Do you think I should change my banner/header? Yes? No? Tell me!
Anyway, over and out.

Nadine xx

Legal sucks, therefore...

...Mistoffolees has decided to blog instead. Only because blogging is for cool kids aaaand I am a cool kid.

Anyway, what I really want to blog about today is somebody by the name of Holly, only because she's been giving me hell about including her in one of my posts. SO, here's a full post all dedicated to her... and maybe some other Drama kids. *big grin*

Okay... truth is I don't really know what to write at the current moment, so let these dazzling images do thy talking:













Oh, ain't she the epicest of babes? The fairest of them all? I THINK SO. Holly Polly is truly one of the most awesomest people in my life at this current moment and I sincerely admit that I love her to death! Gimme your jizz face, ya dirty abo.

Those last two images are really dazzling... not that the others weren't or anything...



OH, and these scrimshankers also rock quite hard:








Drama nerds will one day prevail over all and rule the world...
just you wait till they put on their extravagant performance of 'Stolen: On Ice!'
It'll be epic, bitches.


Over and out.

P.s. I think I may change my header/image. I'm getting a tad sick of it. Yay or Nay?

LOST day fail + MV of the week!

Hello to all! I've got quite a bit to talk about today, even though I have an adundant supply of school crap to do. Believe me, I'm looking at it, wanting to do it... but can't. Yes, there is no need to clarify the fact that I fail at life... I found that out ages ago.

Anyway, yesterday and today were probably the highlights of the last two dull/uneventful weeks. This is primarily because Caroline stayed at my house for a night in an attempt to watch all 5 seasons of LOST. Funny, no? but other than that, we did do a lot of things. We got home, ate chinese food, attempted to do homework, listened to some epic cool music, ate some more, watched Harry/Draco bromance MVs, pissed ourselves from laughter, read Pride and Prejudice out loud, ate even more, talked about 'cupping', bicthed about, pretty much, every person on God's green Earth... and we may have eaten just a bit more. But, in conclusion, all of this was done with a total of two LOST episodes watched. We're cool like that.




Now, I don't know if any of you have noticed (I doubt you have), but I did not post my 'MV of the week' yesterday... Yes, I know, big whoop, but Caroline said that there's probably people crying over the fact that I hadn't posted and that made me feel just a bit lurved. *silly giggle* So, the reason for me not posting is due to my MV block. Yes, I sincerely didn't know which video to choose and which fandom it should've come from. With the assistance of Caroline, I tried looking at Harry Potter MVs.

Nothing.

I tried looking at Dexter MVs.

Zero.

Heck, I even tried looking at Titanic MVs.

Zilch.

But, you know what they say: "When you can't find a decent MV, always think of English classes"... Okay, well that isn't exactly a common saying, but it's percisely what we did anyway! Caroline and I looked into to some Pride and Prejudice MVs, and I must say, a lot of them are really quite well made. Unfortunately, there are very little MVs dedicated to the 1995 mini-series version, but it doesn't worry me all that much, as I love the 2005 film version equally.

Okay, so after many judgements and comparisons, we finally picked the one we thought the most simple, but magical none the less. It's a video by a user named Meeshell384 and it's dedicated to the oh so cute relationship between Lizzie and Darcy in the 2005 version of P&P. Now, I'm not familiar with this user at all, but judging by some of the comments left on the video and her introductory clip, she's a user of the Sony Vegas program and a massive Harry Potter vidder, so two thumbs way up for her.

Now, the video's concept is really quite straight forward. It's basically about the relationship between Miss Bennett and Mr Darcy as well as the obstacles they face before they actually find peace with eachother. What I like about this video is that the user has put all the events in chronological order, therefore allowing the viewer to partially grasp the story of P&P in a nutshell, or more so, the flourishing love shared between our Hero and Heroine. I also feel that what Meeshell384 has done with this video is very suiting to the atmosphere and tone of the 2005 film. I believe that if she had attempted to do the same thing with the mini-series adaptation, the video's charm and spark would not have been the same, due to the different ways the two directors have portrayed the story's characters and settings. The video's song and colouring fits very well with the film adpatation, mainly because it is meant for a younger generation, rather than the mini-series, which is made for avid Austen lovers, who are expecting a real visual replica of the novel itself, which the mini-series really is.

Another thing that made this video so charming was also the light, pastel colouring the user has added. There is no fancy swapping of colour tones, which I find very much suits the romantic ambience of the video and the mood of the story itself. The user's cutting and editing is also great and the way she has manipulated the quick fading from scene to scene is fantastic. The song is another epic win for this pretty little visual experience. The Diary of Jane (acoustic version) by Breaking Benjamin is a haunting song about grabbing the attention of the one you love. It really pleases me how this song's meaning really clarifies the way Darcy actually feels about Lizzie. I also find it pretty funny how one of the lyrics in the song goes 'I will try and find my place in the diary of Jane'... You need not worry Darcy, because you already have... You certainly have. Anyway, the song's use is great, primarily because of the way the user has timed the scenes to go with the song's lyrics.

OH EM GEE, I also ADORED how she added Darcy's proclaimation of love during the credits. Absoluely beautiful!

Okay, so I actually think this is one of my favourite MVs ever, therefore I shall give it a 5 out of 5. It's just immensely lovely and it really does set the mood of the actual film and story. Caroline and I liked it so much, that we actually went and watched the very same film.

Matthew Macfadyen you sexual beast. You're almost as Darcylicious as Colin, if not, as Darcylicious. Anyway, here's the actual video for your own judgement. Just a note that the first 8 seconds is the users intro. It's of Hermione Granger descending some stairs. Other than that, enjoy:




Thanks for reading! Over and out.

Rant + MV of the week!

Hello to all my loverly friends.

Yep, you guessed it. It's 'MV of the Week' time! but before I get one with that, I think I may just tell you a bit about the personal aspect of my week... Well, besides the school work and the inevitable exhaustion involved, I've actually been in this infamous mood where the slightest or smallest issues just consternate me, and I think it may actually be affecting the people around me. Now, I can't help the fact that I've had little patience as of late, but, unfortunately, I feel that I have been patient for a bit too long, so now I believe that the time is right to say how I really feel.

I've had enough of people taking and never giving anything back, whilst at the same time expecting to be given more. I just feel like if I don't answer to someone's plea, I'll be hated for the rest of my life, or rather the rest of the week until they have something else to ask me for. I don't have 50 000 hands, I just can't do everything you ask of me and, yes, I can say no. You're not pleased with that? Well then, excuse my French, but you can all find someone else to fuck up.

Now, chances are that I am a selfish cow with psychological issues who's possibly dreamt this all up, and if that it is the case, my sincerest appologies... but right now, I just feel like I need a good whinge to shake me out of this horrible mood.

Anyway, on to a slightly different note, the MV of this week is also a bit sad and bittersweet (like myself, seeing as I've had a good day, but a horror-filled week). This gem of a vidlet is made by a user named Jonnyzkool92 and he has dedicated it to the wonderful women of... LOST!

Okay, so those who know me quite well will certainly know that I have been going on about the final season premiere of LOST all damn week and when I had actually watched it, I came back to school the next day with jizz stains on my kilt... Okay, no I didn't, but that's just my way of saying that it was quite good, therefore I feel the MV of this week should be one that revolves around LOST.

Anyway, Jonnyzkool92 is actually an avid LOST fan-vidder and I'm quite familiar with his work, which is exceptionally good, specifically this video. The main reason for this is because I feel that LOST has the best ensemble of cast members and characters in modern day television, specifically it's female cast, who I think portray their characters' emotions and personas fabulously. Jonnyzcool92 has brought together all the tension, bitterness, joy, spite, fear, confusion, hurt and relief felt by these women, and has merged them in order to create a masterful video, presenting the story of every single woman, major to minor, who has somehow elevated the plot of LOST.

...and dare I say that this is actually what I loved most about this video? In all honesty, I've grown just a tad sick and tired of seeing all these Skate, Suliet, Jacket and Jate videos, which only focus on the realtionships rather than the emotional depth of the characters. This video, on the other hand, has it all. If you want to go on a visual journey from love to hate, from joy to anger, from hope to despair, from courage to fear and from life to death, this video will take you there. Another aspect of the video's context, which also thoroughly pleased me, is that the user included so many underrated characters that I personally love. An example of this would be the short but sweet inclusion of the likes of Libby, Penny, Charlotte, Nadia and, my personal favourite, the mother-daughter realtionship between Danielle and Alex. *tear*

On to a more technical note, the video had uh-mazing colouring. I really quite liked how the user constantly mainpulated different colour tones and contrasts to match the tension in the atmosphere of the scene or the mood of the character. One distinct use of colour I like is the scene with Juliet burning herself with a muffin tray, resulting in a memory of Ben doing the same thing without being physically harmed. The memory is shown in grey-scale and the aftermath of the memory is Juliet frustrated with her clumsiness, therefore the scene's colour tone is changed to an orange-twinge in order to signify Juliet's anger.

The user also did a fantastic job with the cutting and editing by choosing all the scenes capable of having an emotional impact on the viewer, as well as the song choice which also intensified the video's meaning. Breathe Me by Sia is prossibly one of the saddest songs I've ever heard and it really matches a lot of the situations our LOST ladies are going through. Sia performs the song magically, making her pain and anguish believable through the haunting cracks in her voice and the hopelessness of the lyrics, which the user has masterfully used to go with the situation in each clip or scene, therfore making the song ideal for the video.

In conclusion, I give it 5 out of 5, due to the fact that the user has captured the right emotions and edited it immaculately. If you are not a LOSTie, do not fear, this video is uh-mazing and I firmly believe that you do not have to watch the show in order to feel something towards this work of art. BUT, once again, this is only my opinion and I'll leave it for you to judge:




Thanks people! Over and out.

Betrayal - A.S.J Tessimond



If a man says half himself in the light, adroit
Way a tune shakes into equilibrium,
Or approximates to a note that never comes:

Says half himself in the way two pencil-lines
Flow to each other and softly separate,
In the resolute way plane lifts and leaps from plane:

Who knows what intimacies our eyes may shout,
What evident secrets daily foreheads flaunt,
What panes of glass conceal our beating hearts?



This is exactly how I feel about everybody right now.

That is all.

'The Regal Twelve' by Alexia Sinclair

Hello all! I'm feeling really bored and I don't have exceedingly serious homework to do (or I'm just not in the damn mood), so I've decided to update. The topic that today's post is going to be based on is a set of artworks that I've been a fan of for ages, but I haven't had the chance to properly express my love towards them.

They're a set of graphic images created by Alexia Sinclair called 'The Regal Twelve'. What she's done is that she's gathered twelve scandalous/infamous women in history and designed an artwork for each of them, telling their story through the symbolism in the images. I have read up on each womans story and I believe that Sinclair has done an awesome job in bringing these women back to life, especially for a more younger and modern generation, which I myself am apart of. But yeah, here they are:



'Eleanor of Aquitaine - The Eagle (1122-1204)'
The Eagle: means 'Eleanor'; presents a dopplganger effect
Pregnancy: The birth of her famous son, King Richard the Lionheart
Armor & sword: The manner in which her children turned out
Door: The entrance to her tomb
Coat of Arms: Family symbolism


'Boudica - The Celtic Queen (AD 26 - 61)'
Battlefield: Her triumph as a female warrior
Helmet & sword: Symbolism of Roman mockery and defeat
Horse: Her Famous Chariot
Body Paint: Celtic Tradition



'Cleopatra - The Seductress (69 - 30 BC)'
Snake: Her suicide
Wall Paintings: Egyptian Mythology
Scarab Beatles: They were used in Egyptian tradition to bejewel the bodies of the dead



'Olympias - The Sorceress (376 - 316 BC)'
Snakes: Symbolises the myth of how her son Alexander was concieved
Wind Blowing: Symbolises the God Zeus and his role in Alexander's existence
Golden Box: Symbolises her Husband, Philip



'Christina of Sweden - The Andgrogynous Queen (1926 - 1686)'
Bow & arrow: Her love of hunting and other male-based sports
The Mask: Represents the two different sides of her; The King and the Queen
Body paint & feathers: Symbolises the Goddess of the hunt, Artemis



'Elisabeth Bathory - The Countess of Blood (1560 - 1614)'
The Wolf: Represents the hunt for her next victims
Moon: Signifies her love of the night
The colour red: Bood lust and her supposed killings
The Castle: Her home and future prison



'Catherine the Great - The Enlightened Empress (1729 - 1796)'
The colour violet: Pride and vanity
The Quill: Her intelligence and illumination
The Icons: Her place amongst the greats



'Alexandra Romanov - The Last Czarina of Russia (1872 - 1918)'
Russian eggs (Faberges): The past luxuries of the Russian court; decadence
Forest setting: Where the Romanovs' remains were left after they were murdered
Jewel encrusted gown: Signifies the jewels that were sewn into their corsets at the time of the shooting
Stance & facial expression: The disappearance of her daughter, Anastasia


'Elizabeth I - The Virgin Queen (1533 - 1603)'
Chess board: Her life and the many obstacles she faced; The strategic political actions she took
Radiance: Symbolises her 'Virginity'
Orb & sceptre: Her role as queen; reminiscent of her portrait


'Isabella of Spain - The Catholic (1451 - 1504)'
Painting: Siginifies her Christianity; Cathedral setting
Rosary beads & Bible: Once again, her religion
Her stance: Religious fanaticism
Model of a ship: The expeditions she entrusted to Christopher Columbus
The red quill: Death; the Spainish Inquisition
Chili: Signifies the new world



'Agrippina - The Poisoness (AD 15 - 59)'
Her stance: Like a lioness, hence the inclusion of a lion
Mushroom: Her alleged use of a mushroom to poison Claudius
Lion: Also signifies Roman power and nobility
Arch: Roman civilisation



'Marie Antoinette - The Extravagant Queen (1755 - 1793)'
Slice of cake: The splendor and luxury of her life; decadence and excesses
Ballroom: French culture
Painting: The revolution which lead to Antoinette's demise; Napolean Bonaparte who took her place as emperor


I remember that the first one of these artworks I saw was the Catherine image, due to one of my good friends, Louisa, chosing to study her for a Modern History assessment. In her powerpoint she included that image, and I remember the whole class just gasping due to the sheer beauty of it.

Okay, so I've just talked about the symbolism in each one (or rather pin-pointed) but my favourites are certainly Isabella and Alexandra Romanov. The symbolism in them is just fantastic, specifically in the Romanov one. I liked how she used the Eggs to represent not only the luxuries of Russian nobility, but how it also led to the royal family's demise, which I found to be a very creative way to express the tragic story of the Tsar's downfall.

Anyway, these are a very lovely way to tell these womens' stories and to get people interested in the magic of history. If I could be bothered I would write a full paragraph about each woman's story, but sincerely, I can't. It's way too much effort.

Overall, Sinclair has done a great job in mixing traditional painting with digital design, but I, however, found myself least interested in Cleopatra. I don't know if it was the actual artwork or if the persona of Cleopatra never really interested me, but I think it may be the latter, due to the fact that the artwork actually is quite lovely and does represent Cleo as what she truly is... A tragic skank-face.

Anyway, I'm done for tonight. Thanks for reading and Till the next time.

Headaches lead to pain, which leads to death + MV OF THE WEEK!

Hey possums. How's about we all just have a massive LOL at Nadine's attempt to update daily... BAHAHAHA. Done? Good.

Anyway, so as you've all probably noticed (due to the title), I have an excruciating headache that's just been killing me for the past couple of days. It almost made me not want to update today, but I am not going to let it bring me down, so I shall review my choice of MV, seeing as I really love this video and it's also quite short, so it won't really take me too long... Hopefully.

Alright, so the video I've picked for the week is made by a user named XkjscififanX, who, I admit, is a vidder I'm not very familiar with, but this certain video I absolutely looooved. It is a Doctor Who fanvid about the Tenth Doctor's final hours and all the memories he has had during his time in David Tennant form. Now, WARNING, WARNING if you are an avid Doctor Who fan, tears are a given and if you have not seen the final episode and you do not wish to spoil it for yourself, DO NOT WATCH!

Okay, so I have to confess that I am bigger fan of the last video I reviewed (Vinny/Odette - Rebirthing) as it is much more creative, but when it comes to emotional impact/intensity, this MV is an epic win and is far more superior. Now, I will admit that I'm not a massive Doctor Who junkie (like Caroline), but I must say that this vid actually made me feel a lot of things. It made me feel sad, it made me feel the Doctor's inevitable anguish, due to the heavy burden of knowledge he carries and it made me feel a little excited, because it basically presented the highs and lows of the Tenth Doctor's adventures ALL in 40 seconds. Uh-mazing.

Anyway, the editing in this video is exceptional. I loved the different colour hues the user has added, as well as the immaculate cutting and constant switching to different scenes, which makes the video all the more exciting. I also quite enjoyed how she kept some of the dialogue, as it made the viewers relate to the doctor a bit more, specifically someone who's never watched the show. Judging by this vid, they'd probably think he's a tragic figure of some sort. The music was also fantastic and it made me love the video even more, as it is one of my favourite songs of all time. Carnival of Rust by Finnish band, Poets of the Fall is a song that really relates, in my opinion, to the Doctor's emotive side. Just listen to the lyrics and the sombre mood of the music, and you'll know what I mean.

In conclusion, I give this MV about a 4.5 out of 5, due to the fact that I would have loved for it to be a bit longer, but overall, a very good acheivement for the user... Of course, that's just me, so here it is for you to make your own judgement (be careful, you might cry or wee yourself):




I bet you all either wee'd or cried. Anyway, that's all for tonight and I sincerely hope Caroline got a good kick out of this. Over and out.
