Vid feedback for permetaform

[valarltd]

permetaform has 2 vids:

"The Fragile" by Nine Inch Nails and "Why" by Stabbing Westward.

"The Fragile" is a Fifth Element vid, the only one I've ever seen. She does a splendid job of setting the mood of the vid and matching the clips to the music. (I can't speak for the lyrics as all I got was the chorus) She captures both the fragility and the strength of Leloo, and the intensity of Corbin's love for her. The tech aspects were fabulous. I liked the effect of slowing the motion and leaving ghost images behind. A lovely vid, but unfortunately a guitar-heavy song that needs to be played with the volume very low.

"Why" is a Smallville vid. I really, really like this one. We are taken inside Lex's tortured mind as he languishes in Smallville's mental hospital. He is remembering the relationship with Clark--I don't know if this was to be a slash vid or not, but it sure looked like one to me--and the rivalry with his father. Even Mudd commented "Those Luthors are trying to kill each other." We see not only the odd moments of Clark, but also Lex's slow deterioration. Another technically well-done vid, with good use of the Film Aging effect and overlays.
