Ack!

I am so close to completing my new Pros vid, but I can't find the right clip for the ending. I've been looking for weeks. Ack!

Oh no.... what sort of moment are you looking for? (Or would that be spoilers? *g*)

Ack, that is so frustrating! I feel your pain. Good luck that you soon find the right clip.

What do you need? Maybe one of us could have an idea where to look.

Mostly, I just need Bodie and Doyle to look connected to each other, as if they have an important bond. I think the main difficulty I'm having is that I need them to do it for seven and a half seconds without a cut, which turns out to be a long time (even using arcane vidder magic to stretch the clips somewhat). Also, I can't use a clip that includes guns or explosives, and the Lads (probably) shouldn't laugh, because this is a serious part of the vid; some smiling is okay. Finally, I can't use a clip from the sleeping bag scene in Mixed Doubles because that's where the preceding clip comes from.

The best option I've come up with so far is from the scene in Long Shot where the Lads are standing together outside the mansion while the reception is taking place inside. I'm not very satisfied with that, however, partly because the scene doesn't carry much meaning in its original context and partly because the colors in the clip look out of place, even after being adjusted:



I'd be pleased to hear any suggestions from slantedlight, macklingirl, or anyone else who has them.

Seven and a half second is quite a long time, indeed.
You have already tried the stoppage scene from Backtrack, I think.
Maybe in slow motion ?
Keep my fingers crossed you'll find the right moment and get your vid finished.

Maybe a scene from The Madness of Mickey Hamilton? I think about the scene on the roof of the building from 5:38 to 5:50. They're not standing shoulder to shoulder but front to front. And they're looking very serious here.

Or from Not a Very Civil, Civil Servant, when they're standing in the bar from 15:53 to 16:10?

Thank you for the suggestions. I think one of them may have possibilities.

Yes, that's much better. I am now unstuck.
