I made a Lex and Lillian video for Smallville. Please let me know what you think of it, if you do watch :)

Just watched and I liked it! Well it left me fairly upset and despaired for my Lex.... but yeah.

I like the way you placed the women in his life up against Lillian. Good job hon!

Thank you :) *hugs Lex*

Oh, this is so good. I am always amazed at how vidders can use vid to such effect!

Thank you for sharing, though now, I must go and hug the Lex.

Very sad. Beautifully done and great use of parallel images!

I must post about this.
*nods*

Thank you! Poor Lex doesn't have much luck with parental figures :/ Not forgetting Pamela, and then the Kent's treatment of him...

That was very cleverly done and quite haunting.

*hugs Lex too*

Thank you!



This is an rather O/T rant in response to your comment, but I suddenly just wanted to say this :P

I hate so much that they cut the wedding scene from Scare. Firstly it was brilliantly acted and directed, and we were cheated not to get it as part of the episode. It was much more personal to Lex, when it comes to dealing with characters worst nightmares. It really was so unimaginative to reuse the Hourglass footage, especially as that then messed with the premise that Lex didn't know what Cassandra saw in Hourglass *sighs*

I remember the original spoilers were that Lex would be getting rejected by Lana in the wedding dream, so there was much rejoicing and spec it had been cut because of fan response hee. But I'm guessing the network stepped in at the last minute, and made them cut the Lex/Lillian wedding :/ Oh well, it's canon for that episode as far as I'm concerned anyway *g*

Oh, yes. Both the acting and the directing in that scene were amazing. And it was/i> more personal to Lex and added a lot more to his history. Plus I always thought it would have tied in better to Lionel's comment to Clark in 'Bound' regarding the women Lex picks up reminding him of Lillian.

I understand to some extent why they used the 'Hourglas' footage, Lex not seeing his future but fearing it because of what Cassandra saw and the effect that had. But I do think the deleted scene would have had a more powerful impact.

And yeah, I think you're right that the network probably had a hand it that scene being changed :/

Hurty and angsty and so, so good.
Excellent, as always!

Ooooh, this was deliciously creepy and sad. Fantastic job as always:)

Thank you! :)

I love it lots. Yes.

Yay, I'm glad you like it :D

[identity profile] zercon.livejournal.com 2006-09-03 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Oooh, (((((Lex))))) I'm gonna join in on all that Lex-hugging. He seriously needs it. I love all your vids, but this one is my favourite yet. So perfectly painful to watch...

[identity profile] frelling-tralk.livejournal.com 2006-09-03 02:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you :D

[identity profile] beyond-destiny.livejournal.com 2006-09-03 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
This hurt, so much. He needs to have a happy ending in the future. He needs it, he deserves it. He needs his soulmate. *hugs hard*. Beautiful work.

Lo, I have bandwidth!

And I got to see your vid. HOORAY!! I really liked it. I love character studies and your vid is unique for me--I don't think I've seen a Lex/Lillian exploration before. I loved your use of the cut scene--that scene plays so deeply into SV's and Lex's psychology--and I loved the song choice. I particularly liked the way the song allowed you to juxtapose Lex's essential loneliness with his obsession with superficial intimacy--with Lana and others who resemble his mother. Love it! You should be so proud of this!

(Aside: I still can't access your site. WAH! I haven't an inkling why. It just won't load on my computer. Do you have any other vids linked in LJ posts? I just ask in case you have any to hand, as I'm sure I haven't seen all your SV vids...)

[identity profile] frelling-tralk.livejournal.com 2006-09-06 12:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! And hmm. Smallville video's I've made include:

Jason/Lex to Make Me Bad

A sort of bondagy Clex AU

3 rift video's for Clex

2 comedy video's

A Lexana video

A Chlark video

A Clark/Alicia video

A Clana video (for the 80's song video challenge)



If there's any of those you haven't seen, I could link you to the LJ post. Although some are older, so a bit of a mix with how good they might be :P

Cuuute icon!!

And *reels* from the list of vids! Man, you're prolific! Ok, I've checked and I've seen: Eternal Flame, Hunter, I Love You, Make Me Bad and Two Worlds.

Hit me with any of the others! *g* Thank you!

*Shiver* Whoa, I stopped watching Smallville around season three, so I had no idea his relationship with his mother was so disturbing. She kind of creeps me out. (I still read the fan fiction, so I knew a couple of things, but this... ) Good job, I think you captured the hold she had (and has) on Lex very well.

[identity profile] frelling-tralk.livejournal.com 2006-11-22 08:22 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you :) Yes, I got a quite difference impression of Lillian during season 1 from episodes like Shimmer and Crush when Lex was remembering his loving mother. And then when they actually cast Lillian for flashbacks/dreams, she was definitely a bit weirder than I was expecting *g*
