DW Vid: Tabula Rasa



Song: Lighthouse
Artist: Interpol
Size: 40 MB, wmv
Spoilers: Doomsday | Human Nature | Family of Blood
Download: here
Streaming: embedded | BAM

Summary: Tabula Rasa is Latin for “blank slate.” Something new, fresh, unmarked, or uninfluenced. A mind not yet affected by experiences, impressions, etc. This video represents the moment in "Family of Blood" that happened off screen, when the fob watch was opened, and all the memories came rushing back.


Photobucket



Notes: Technically speaking this was made for Challenge #2 over at [info]vortexchallenge. But really, I wanted to vid this song long before. Because the mood of it, the sound of it, the lyrics, everything about it felt like that beach in "Doomsday" and the Doctor's mindset in Series 3. But since the challenge was instrumentals only, and this song is far from being an instrumental, I had to chop it up and come up with a story that would represent that moody image from the complete song. So here's the idea behind what actually turned out...

There's an episode of Buffy called "Tabula Rasa." In that episode Buffy falls under a spell where she forgets who she is. She calls herself Joan and thinks she's some sort of superhero. This is great news to her. She's perfectly happy. But then the spell is broken, and we literally see the moment when Buffy remembers who she is, and remembers all the terrible crap that's happened to her (she died, chillaxed in heaven, and then her friends brought her back, which really screwed her up, amongst other things) and we literally see the moment when it all comes rushing back to her.

We didn't get this moment in "Family of Blood." There was only a glimpse, but the actual thing happened off screen. So this is my attempt at interpreting what it could have been like, had we actually witnessed the Doctor's return. And what it could possibly feel like for him once he remembers.


Password: Time Lord



And because this was the original inspiration, the complete song: Lighthouse by Interpol

Whenever I see you've made a new vid, I get the strangest feeling. It's part excitement, part anticipation and part fear. I'm always excited to watch your vids, but I'm also always a bit scared because they always manage to touch me in a way I'm not used to. Vids that affect me this way are very few and far between, but yours always do. You have such a talent for making vids, and I don't think I'll ever find the right words to describe how much I love them.

That being said, PLZ MAKE MORE DOCTOR WHO VIDS BB!

That was beautiful and heartbreaking. I want Rose back!! ...and there you go, toying with our emotions again.... So yeah, you need to be a professional editor already, the next Thelma Schoonmaker, you just need to find your own Scorsese. :D

[info]hollywoodgrrl

July 31 2007, 16:06:41 UTC 4 years ago

Bwahaha! Aw, Sweetie, thank you. *tacklehugs* If only vid making was an actual profession. They should be released like trailers or special features or something. I mean there would be so much cross promotion for the music + film/tv industry. It's genius! LMAO!

Thanks so much for watching, dude. :D

[info]watcher_junior

July 31 2007, 16:34:33 UTC 4 years ago

Wow.

I'm so glad someone made a video for this moment. I was on the edge of my seat waiting for it in the show, but it was one of those moments they chose not to let us see.

And I'm so glad you were the someone who made a video for this moment, because you did it SO well.

*sigh* My poor shipper heart.

[info]hollywoodgrrl

July 31 2007, 17:40:01 UTC 4 years ago

Thank you SO much!!! I suppose I expected the moment seeing as it's pretty much a known fact that RTD has seen some Buffy/Angel in his day. But then we didn't get it, so I suppose something had to be done about that, lol!

And I'm so glad you were the someone who made a video for this moment, because you did it SO well.
Goodness. Thank you! *blushes* It was all about laying on the drama. The more emo the better, because that show is so much more than daleks and cybermen. ;)

I'm so glad you liked it! Thanks for watching. :D

[info]simply_lily

July 31 2007, 16:41:24 UTC 4 years ago

Sheesh. That was so eerie. It gave me chills. The editing was... wow. "unique" seems like a tame word for that. You managed so much with such a simple effect. I'm seriously shuddering.

[info]hollywoodgrrl

July 31 2007, 17:33:00 UTC 4 years ago

Wow!!! Thank you! I'm certainly pleased with the way this one turned out, and I'm super thrilled that it hits such an emotional blow. Thanks so much for watching! :D

Thank you! *bows* The original song is like 5 minutes long. Perhaps one day I'll give it a re-edit and expand the story. But I'm so glad you like this version. Thanks for watching! :D
