Okay, one more.
Title: The Long-Distance Call
Fandom: Stargate (movie, SG-1, and SGA)
Summary: But in the end, it's gonna be okay.
Song: "The Boy in the Bubble" by Paul Simon
Length: 2:56
Download: Through Vimeo or through MediaFire or sendspace (74mb)
Contents: Gen. Contains character death (permanent and non-permanent).
Notes: For a lot of reasons that I might go into elsewhere, this will be my last vid, but it's been in my head for so very long, and I had to get it out, you guys. I'm very pleased with it, because it looks just like I imagined it. I love it and I'm very proud.

Lyrics:
It was a slow day
And the sun was beating
On the soldiers by the side of the road
There was a bright light
A shattering of shop windows
The bomb in the baby carriage was wired to the radio
These are the days of miracle and wonder
This is the long distance call
The way the camera follows us in slow-mo
The way we look to us all
The way we look to a distant constellation
That is dying in a corner of the sky
These are the days of miracle of wonder
And don't cry baby, don't cry, don't cry
It was a dry wind
And it swept across the desert
And it curled into the circle of birth
And the dead sand
Falling on the children
The mothers and the fathers and the automatic earth
These are the days of miracle and wonder
This is the long distance call
The way the camera follows us in slow-mo
The way we look to us all
The way we look to a distant constellation
That is dying in a corner of the sky
These are the days of miracle of wonder
And don't cry baby, don't cry, don't cry
It's a turn-around jump shot
It's everybody jump-start
It's every generation throws a hero up the pop charts
Medicine is magical and magical is art
Think of the boy in the bubble
And the baby with the baby with the baboon heart
And I believe
These are the days of lasers in the jungle
Lasers in the jungle somewhere
Staccato signals of constant information
A loose affiliation of millionaires and billionaires and baby
These are the days of miracle and wonder
This is the long distance call
The way the camera follows us in slow-mo
The way we look to us all
The way we look to a distant constellation
That is dying in a corner of the sky
These are the days of miracle of wonder
And don't cry baby, don't cry, don't cry
And simply to amuse myself, I made a list of all the characters in this vid, roughly in their order of appearance:
Various Cheyenne Mountain guards
Evan Lorne
Rodney McKay
Elizabeth Weir
Carson Beckett
Atlantis bomb tech
Various SGC/Atlantis personnel
Daniel Jackson (movie)
Jack O'Neil
Catherine Langford (movie)
Sha'uri
Sha're
Various Jaffa
Kusuf
Skaara
Various Goa'uld and their hosts
Jack O'Neill
Daniel Jackson (series)
Radek Zelenka
Steven Caldwell
Ronon Dex
Teyla Emmagan
John Sheppard
Solen Sincha (Satedan)
Peter Grodin
Ernest Littlefield (The Torment of Tantalus)
Sam Carter
One of the Nox (Lya?)
Charlie (Show and Tell)
Clone Carson Beckett
One of the Genii (Tyrus?)
Garshaw of Belote and Yosuf
Various Tok'ra and their hosts
Alternate Rodney McKay (The Road Not Taken)
Yolanda Reese/Major Stacey Monroe and Raymond Gunne/Dr. Lavant from Wormhole X-Treme
Everyone not on the list who was in the final shot of SG-1 (Cam Mitchell, Vala Mal Doran, Teal'c)
People I very narrowly cut out
Teal'c (his head-tilt is just not fast enough and it didn't look right when I sped it up)
Hammond of Texas (I tried to get him in TWICE and it LOOKED like I sped it up)
Aiden Ford (He's the one shooting in "it's a turnaround jump-shot" and I had his intense face, but it didn't end up working)
Fun fact
Paul McGillion is on this list twice, as Carson and Ernest Littlefield.
So. There's that finished. Back to- well, I guess I should be working.

I really love this, first because of the music and how well it goes with the Stargate ethos (yes, there are miracles and wonder, and that's why we watch the show, even though we also become aware of the hazards and dangers--there are miracles!). And I love how you wove SG1 and SGA together, like a love story to everything! I'm going to have to watch again to make sure I've spotted everyone *g*
