beerbadTitle: Gimme Sympathy
Vidder: beerbad
Music: "Gimme Sympathy" by Metric
Fandom: Bunheads
Pairing: Michelle/Sasha (femslash or platonic, viewers' choice ;)
Summary: Michelle and Sasha have a lot of feelings about each other, and I have a lot of feelings about their feelings.
Notes: This vid was a long time coming -- I started it almost exactly a year ago in February 2013. Michelle and Sasha's relationship had really, ahem, escalated in the second half of the season. I could barely contain myself and KNEW that if anything would break my five-year vidding hiatus, this show would do it. Anyway, so I started the vid before the season was even over and then a few things happened. Namely, the season ended, the show went on a very long hiatus, and then after months of waiting it was axed by ABC Family. :'(
I literally cannot remember the last time a show's cancellation hit me so hard. I had about one third of the vid finished at that point, and couldn't bring myself to rewatch the last few episodes in order to take notes now that I knew they were the final episodes of the series. So this poor vid sat unfinished for months, until I finally got my act together and finished it. Then more tragedy struck! The external hard drive where I had my episode files stored failed literally the DAY after I had finished my final draft, and I'm still working with SeaGate tech support to see if the data is recoverable. In the meantime, what I've posted is an earlier completed version, which thankfully exists. If I can ever recover the final edit, I'll replace this one, but there were only a few pretty minor changes so I hope everyone can at least enjoy this version. :\
Technical notes: Made with Magix Movie Edit Pro 2013, which I bought for $50 and never crashed or slowed down my computer. Really great and cheap for non-linear editing software! My OS is Windows 7. I used downloaded 720p mkv files, which I converted to AVIs using Avidemux. I did all my clipping directly in the program.
This vid is dedicated to everyone who has ever listened to me ramble on about Bunheads at length and explode my feelings all over them. Namely,

It's strange, usually I feel so relieved when I post a vid that it's finished and it exists out in the world, but for this one I think the best part was actually spending time with the footage over the whole process. I have weird separation anxiety from it now? :'(
Everything about this vid was 100% powered by my feels, but I don't know how I'd vid this show any other way. lol. Do you think it's possible to have raging platonic OTPs? Because if so, Michelle and Sasha fit that concept to a T. <3

"so close to something better left unknown" is PERFECT. All of the kicks, and the LOOKS, and mothers and daughters and surrogate feelings and yee gods that hug at the end.
MY HEART.
