Doctor Who Vid: No One Is To Blame

[rabid1st]

This is a bit of a departure for me as this vid was made to order and is not technically a Rose/Ten vid. It is about Ten's basic mindset. All of the companions are featured, though Rose is definitely the "love interest" of the piece. The original concept for this video comes from a picture post by pacejunkie. I added a bit more guilt to old Ten than was originally intended, I think, and I had to use a different selection of clips in some cases...but the main ideas come through, I hope.

No One Is To Blame
by Rabid1st
A Tenth Doctor Vid
Artist: Howard Jones
Concept: Pacejunkie
Spoilers: To S4 Journey's End
Ten consoles himself that personal happiness is impossible and no one is to blame for his sorrows.

And finally, a link to the musical pic spam that started it all. It is far better in concept than what I was capable of delivering in vid, given the frustrations of linking music to clips.

I haven't heard that song in ages! Literally! ;)

Well done! The pieces fit together perfectly!

I must say the song choice was all pacejunkie. I hadn't heard or thought of that song in ages. However, it did work very well for this sort of vid.

Thanks for the compliment on my pieces. Since my Moviemaker was very glitchy on this one I am simply grateful to have it finally together and ready for viewing.

Downloading! Thank you so much for vidding this. I see what you mean, in that it was sad that certain clips had to go, but then there were also places where I think you improved upon my original concept. Instead of clips of Ten alone I actually prefer your version of all the scenes of destruction. My favourite were the shots of Gallifrey and the use of 42 looking like he's watching it burn. And the scenes of the Master and Astrid at the end. Very nice. This is a wonderful interpretation, and the nice thing is that both versions can exist side by side. I appreciate you doing it.

I am so happy

...you enjoyed it. And yes, it does show that musical pic spam has its own niche...because some pictures carry more punch than video. I was particularly bummed that I couldn't find a way to use the Interstellar Facebook clip for that final "We want everyone." But the shot that is steady on it doesn't give us enough beats on the music and slowing it didn't give enough action for my tastes.

I am rather proud of the destruction of Gallifrey sequence, myself. I'm tickled you liked it, too.

Overall, this was lots of fun and I think it would be a huge help to vidders if more people did musical pic spams if they want something vidded. Thanks for the inspiration.

I'm a little sad now. :( It's well-done, however. I like that you included the Master and the hand and didn't include Ten II in the last scene there. Because a certain Time Lord IS to blame for that mess.

Though, unlike you and nonlinearmusing up there, I hear this song every damn day on the Muzak at work. XD Perhaps that's the same reason it was on her mind.

I'm glad you found it well done...

Even if it made you sad.

But, doesn't that scene with the Master and the Hand give you hope?

It makes me very happy, because it does seem like RTD has a plan that includes the metacrisis. The hand (or A hand) is also prominently featured as the Master fails to regenerate. And RTD could still link everything together...Bad Wolf Rose seeing the future, Dalek Caan seeing the future...both of them pushing events forward...the true meaning of the Doctor/Donna and his song ending...the Master creating a new body for himself...and Ten 2 being the Doctor's new body at regeneration or sometime before that even if they switch places. It all works so brilliantly...it almost has to be true.

And I also enjoyed that I could avoid using Ten 2 in that final shot...because that's what really makes me want to kick Ten in the ankles...that forelorn Rose...watching him leave her after all she's done for him...after he promised not to leave her...and frankly, after he ran full tilt to her arms the moment he saw her.

:kick...kick...kick:

Indeed, I had forgotten that the Master paid such close attention to the Hand, so I was glad to see that scene here.

Also, ::hug:: Now now. He's kicking himself plenty without us helping, no matter how extremely tempted we are. Extremely. Hell, that's probably why a lot of people went over to Ten II in the first place; they were so furious with the original, their subconscious couldn't reconcile it, and they went with the lighter option of liking the new reality instead of brooding over what could have been. Whereas we stay furious but have higher hopes for the future. XD

Hmmm. Interesting thought. Makes a lot of sense actually.

(I'd rather be furious though. ;-) )

Wow, I haven't hear that song in forever. XD

Very nice vid. :D
