This is a joint presentation from ekny and myself. A little xmas gift to the board and to all BG fans everywhere. NEW Bad Girls Helen and Nikki Music Vid: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=INUX1WLJ We wanted to do something less typical, without the usual angst, and with a sly and playful twist to it. Hope you enjoy. Please let us know if you do. We worked endlessly for your pleasure <G> in order to get this one right. I will upload to YouTube after this premiere posting. Happy Holidays NOTE: It will open large in Movie Player, but may look at its clearest best in a smaller window, click on View and choose 50% size. <G> |

I love the new video! Well done to you both and thanks for all your hard work in bringing it to us - I know you've put a lot of time and trouble into it, and it shows! How awfully tiresome it must have been to have to trawl through the whole of series 1 to 3 to find all those appropriate shots! I'm already hooked and have watched it a few times already - I do love the little finalé ! Thanks again! (Damn! Now I've got the song on my brain! It'll probably keep me awake tonight! Ah well...I can think of worse things than images of H&N running through my head in the wee hours! :lol: ) |

You've no idea what I put this poor woman through. You would not believe. To say she has the patience of a saint is to flatter saints everywhere. It's remarkable she's still speaking to me. (I had to bribe her, of course.) Video: A Very Special Thank-you So now we have something special planned for returning champ Jeanna X... That's right Jeanna, come on down! Let's give her a big hand, everyone! There's one final round of questions for you before we reward you for your labors--watch your step there, a little shaky after your ordeal, we understand, take your time. Now, for ALL the marbles, we have a special movie-trivia related question for you, because we know you're so keen. So, for your choice, Door number 1, 2, or door number 3... here we go: working with ekny most closely resembles the relationship between: --von sternberg and dietrich --svengali and trilby --joel & ethan --doktor caligari and cesare --mephisto and gretchen --freddy and girl number 386 <tickticktickticktick> We'll be right back after these commercials. <tick...tick! irritating muzac in background: insert theme-toon here etc.> *** Carol, let's show the folks at home what Jeanna is playing for! what do we have for this intrepid woman who withstood months, indeed, hundreds of hours of thankless madness?! So glad you asked! Well Monty, behind door number One we have an all-expenses paid vacation to a spa in Basel, where she'll receive the best therapy money can buy! Behind door number Two is a year's supply of the finest shoe leather, to save on those expensive dental bills! Yesss that's right, no more gnashing your teeth when you can grind in style. Or, behind door number Three: an extended stay at the always-glamorous Parris Island! Because only Marine recruits have more fun. |

Thanks for the specific feedback abt the ending Lisa289! there are bits that are a bit atypical, we know, so it's helpful to hear what people do get, or like, or have questions about even. (Obviously we're--I'll speak for myself, sorry--I'm pretty fond of the ending but ya never know...) --e |

Hey guys, this is terrific. You've made some great improvements from the "rough draft" I saw. In particular I love the consecutive shots of Di, Thomas, Karen and Dominic finding out about the relationship. They worked incredibly well together, and really landed with the theme of the song. I also liked that the last third built up to their happy ending kiss from the visiting room scene (like, showing all their loving moments in a row), with the art room scene as a little coda/tag. There were also two moments when you really held Nikki's gaze in the lifer's meeting, and it was quite powerful and striking each time. The first because it was on the long held "luh-uh-uve." The second shot, which was Nikki's like mischievous/triumphant grin. It worked so well as an answer to Di, Thomas, Karen and Dominic's disbelief in hearing about the relationship. On rewatching, the scenes you chose for Laugh just a little too loud (Juliet & Juliet library scene) Stand just a little too close (Nikki giving Helen the good news about Monica) Stay just a little too long (the potting shed--of course!) are PERFECT! Also, the shot you chose for Could you be falling for me (Nikki's reaction to "Even if I were a lesbian...") FANTASTIC! |

Thanks Abzug! The Potting Shed (on "Stare just a little too long") got pretty much parsed frame by frame. If there was any remaining controversy over whether Helen's eyes returned (or strayed once more <G>) to the place where her hand had just been we do hope that is settled definitively here. Here's a clearer, fresh clip of the same moment in slo-mo http://www.megaupload.com/?d=EBHP9RBY without sound or music. In fact, she glances back to that particular spot twice. It's very quick and subtle. She stares Nikki in the eye ![]() Then... (two frames later) ![]() (skipping another frame) ![]() (several frames later) ![]() She finally looks away ![]() ![]() Unable to keep her eyes from flickering back beneath lowered lids once again ![]() ![]() ![]() You can see this charming flicker of the eyes very clearly as still frame by frame shots in Windows Pictures 'film strip' View or Windows Picture and Fax viewer by clicking from shot to shot. Back and forth, it's very pronounced. And quite adorable.

;D It might amuse although I very much doubt surprise you to know we wound up developing a short-hand for which shots we were talking about as we went back & forth for the 8 millionth time; there were a number of terms that were just abbreviations of scene-names or locations, but Nikki in the lifer's meeting... that was *always* 'Nikki Smouldering'.
Yeah, I'm glad we changed that, once I thought of them on the stairs together, Jeanna timed it perfectly so when the shot's introduced they sort of surge up the stairs with the beat, which I love.
We actually tried hard for more ambiguous back-and-forth there, so the lines were almost evenly divided up between the two & the sense of the music & cutting would be as mutual as possible. Not 1 subject but 2. Thanks a lot for your feedback before & now, always interesting & very helpful!

I forgot to mention this. I loved this about the vid as well. I liked how you didn't limit your clips to just S1-3 (Karen hearing about the relationship from Fenner in S4). Again, well done on this fantastic vid! ![]() Editted to add: The frame-by-frame shots and the slow-motion vid really do show Helen's wandering eyes! |
