I think this one carries itself very well.<br \/>\n<u>Background:<\/u> This vid started with a simple challenge to myself: Was it possible to make a Snape\/Hermione video, with the available footage, that wasn&#8217;t creepy? I&#8217;ve always been quite uncomfortable with the vids that depict Snape as watching his young student with a lustful eye, and to compound matters, while Book-Snape is in his thirties, Movie-Snape is in his fifties. We also don&#8217;t have the benefit of footage of adult Hermione, whereas that is not a problem for the fanfic world, which frequently situates an adult Hermione as a fellow soldier or professor alongside Snape, followed by a sassy and irreproachable romance. It seemed to me that the only way I could vid this pairing tastefully would be if I used Hermione&#8217;s point of view &#8211; the point of view of a schoolgirl crush. But that&#8217;s not very interesting &#8211; until we consider that Snape went on to save the world, and ultimately became her hero. I think I achieved my goal &#8211; the only moment that skirts the edge is the Mirror of Erised sequence, with Hermione seeing her fondest wish, a very innocent and girlish romantic dance with an idealised version of her unattainable authority figure.<br \/>\n<u>Geeky Things To Note:<\/u> Lots of fun manipulations here, including Snape&#8217;s grave (probably the part I&#8217;m least happy with), and Dream-Snape and Hermione dancing in the Mirror of Erised. I used quite a bit of the Sixteen Point Garbage Matte tool for this one. I <u>had<\/u> a lot of problems with jerky output in this one &#8211; I&#8217;m working with Blu Ray source now, and Adobe CS5 seems to struggle with it. I&#8217;ve now found a fairly clunky solution by outputting as a very large AVI (700MB or so) with minimal compression to keep processing to a minimum, then converting to web-size with Audials later. The only section I couldn&#8217;t clean up in this way was Hermione&#8217;s fantasy of Snape&#8217;s Patronus watching over her, but I didn&#8217;t have the heart to take it out.<br \/>\n<u>Other Comments:<\/u> There is a related vignette for this video called <a href=\"http:\/\/fiction.deslea.com\/hpvigil.php\">Vigil<\/a>.<br \/>\n<u>Programs Used:<\/u> Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.<br \/>\n<u>Sources:<\/u> Harry Potter 1\/2\/3\/4\/5\/6\/7\/8, In Demand music video, Ballet Shoes.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Black Is The Colour (2011) Performed by The Corrs Theme: Harry Potter, Hermione and Snape (defies description, but let&#8217;s say schoolgirl romance\/hero worship) My Rating: Five stars.
