a fandom journey

I bought quite a few photos of David Tennant today but my absolute favourite has to be this one from Hamlet:



Now, you may find the reasons for this being my favourite a little bit odd. The reason I like it so much is because it reminds me of Bruce Dickinson. Everything from the coat to the hair to the facial expression is just so much like Bruce from the Man of Sorrows video. It's a photo of one of my favourite people that reminds me of another one of my favourite people, so I get double happiness from it because it makes me think of both of them. That's why I love it so much.

If you want to see what I mean this is the Man of Sorrows video:

David Tennant, Entertainment Media Show, London, Sunday 2nd October.

Bruce Dickinson, Canterbury Rocks Event, Canterbury Cathedral, Saturday 10th December.

My two idols, and I now have tickets to see each of them!

Fan made music video for 'The Girl That Love Made Blind' - an unreleased demo by Blue Oyster Cult from the 1988 Imaginos album.

I admit the video is a little weird, but the song is a tad weird too so in a way I think it's rather fitting. It doesn't feature the band because I was trying to go for a similar approach to the official 'Astronomy' video - clips that seem a bit disconnected but show different parts of the story. I was thinking I might do a video for either Les Invisibles or the Siege And Investiture... that features more of the band.

The song's a waltz, so I tried to get lots of waltzing in there. It also has some rather heavy parts, so I tried to get some darker, heavier clips in for that amazing guitar part towards the end of the video.

I have a sort of ongoing challenge with myself to get David Tennant into every music video I make, no matter how seemingly irrelevant it may be, so he's in this (and waltzing, so actually it's not too irrelevant).

Also, I quite liked the feel of some Within Temptation videos to go with this song, so they're in this too. Sharon den Adel is supposed to be the girl in the Baron's castle. The ship at the end is supposed to be the Plutonia and the dancers are supposed to be guests at the party of astrologers. As to the rest of it, I don't really know. It's just a rather surreal video to go with a rather surreal song.
