Before It Controls You (vid)

Summary:

You have your classic conflicts: man against self, man against man... and monster against man. (And which of them's the monster?)

or: You screw yourself up once with hubris and science, and everything is downhill from there, forever.

A Bruce Banner fanvid set to "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)" by Fall Out Boy.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

View on youtube (it looks best of course at 720p or better):

Download: 138MB .wmv file -- link fixed (again again)
(It plays best for me in ZoomPlayer. VLC Player works sort of, but it handles the introductory text box oddly.)

I will try to have an .mp4 version available if anyone expresses interest, but I've run into difficulty getting it to not look like ass in that format, and I wanted to get this up already. Leave a comment if you'd like another file format, please, and I'll be happy to work on getting it up here just for you. :) And I would also love to hear what you think!

Notes to self for a version 2:

- swap those clips you're always thinking about swapping
- put flashback in sepia or something idek
- reduce quality of william hurt's face at 2:42 bc it's just so much clearer than everything else atm it's distracting
- you think I'm joking don't you?
- it is SUPER distracting
- do a fade in at 'another failure'
- maybe do fade to grey atfter intro clip to further disguise poor ed norton (I like him, sorry to erase him so)
- believe me I love his movie but one bruce per vid

Notes:

It was a challenge trying to use video from movies to convey a narrative I tried to build around a song's lyrics! Here's hoping I managed to succeed a little bit.

Many thanks to elfhawk3 for being my excellent beta-viewer!

This vid is a gift for tumblr user ecokitty, who posted this song and urged people to draw Bruce to it. I can't draw, so I decided to look for a good a fan vid tutorial and figure out how to make one of those instead. I hope you like it, eco. ^^
