Reply To: “Still Alive”, a Spiff vid
@Jmonkee those JoCo versions are perfect. I think they sound terrible compared with the GLaDOS version, but it should be easy for me to make a second vid that uses the JoCo audio. Thanks a lot!
@JoAnn: yeah, “Still Alive” was perfectly designed to be a Portal song, so without going completely off the reservation, there was very little in the way of gags or silly references I could pack in there. In fact, the majority of the references in the video are Portal references, not WoW ones or ones to my other videos. That does make the video less whimsical than many of my others, and it looks like maybe people weren’t necessarily in the mood for that. The one thing that has consistently gotten the most positive feedback is that one shot of the dwarf from “I Feel Fantastic” getting trampled by Arthas, a shot I never thought was that big of a deal. Goes to show how much I understand my audience I guess. 🙂
When I look back at the video though, it’s exactly as I wanted it to be, so it’s not like I feel like I made a mistake in any way. If what I created isn’t universally loved by everyone, that’s got to be OK… until my next one, which had better be full of win. 😉
