Title: Swans and Princes
Fandom: Figure skating!
Song: Swan Lake mix
Download: Here
Notes:
Vid contains notes on who each skater is in the subtitles (included as soft subs in the download).
After doing a previous collection of Carmens, someone asked if I'd do Swan Lake as well... and I do love Swan Lake.
This is every Swan Lake program I could find (which was skated at least once as a competitive program at the senior elite level), edited down into five minutes. There are 94 programs in there - if I missed your favorite, double-check that you aren't thinking of a program set to The Swan instead :)
I also did another full write-up with stats and graphs about the whole list of Swan Lake programs, from which year had the most Swan Lakes to how many were Black Swan programs to how often women have feather skirts as part of their costumes. It's here on DW and also over on Tumblr.
About the vid itself: since I got a question about this last time, I didn't try to match clips to the original Swan Lake music used in them except once or twice - I dropped the clips into Premiere without the matching audio. My process was more efficient this time, and first consisted of finding two or three good clips from each video as I watched them and clipping them into a 'storage' timeline. After I had gone through all the programs, I color-coded each one as having movement toward the left, toward the right, or various directions/no real directional movement. This made it much easier to match surrounding clips in the vid timeline to achieve flow. I also had three layers in the storage timeline: 'used' 'used [but not this particular clip]' and 'not yet used'. These organized which programs I had and hadn't already integrated into the vid and to make it easier to swap out clips that weren't working.
(There's also a very silly additional vidlet on Youtube here - explicit language in lyrics.)
