Fanvid: Scarlet (Once Upon A Time )

OUaT - regina
A Once Upon A Time S1 vid for Red, Snow & Charming. This was made for [personal profile] settiai, who put a Red/Snow/Charming vid on her [community profile] snowflake_challenge wishlist and which I thought was a great idea. And then I found this song, which was something else again. So I don't know if this is at all what was wanted, but here it is, to the best of my (rather limited) vidding ability:

Red/Snow/Charming: "I think that I've found out what no one's about to tell me..." (to "Scarlet" by All About Eve).

Lyrics:

Dress me in scarlet
Ribbons and bows so everyone knows
I'm hiding a face
That hasn't the grace to go free.
Dress me in shadows
Sad April skies have opened my eyes
To the lie that I live
And given the river away
I'll change these clothes if I want to, and I do

I think that I've found out
What no-one's about to tell me
I think that I've found out
I don't wear scarlet well.

Waiting before me
Poets and painters may say;
"When will you stumble our way
Kick off your red shoes and fly now"
I'll die for their words if I want to, and I do.

Always before me
Poets and sages may say;
"We've been lamenting your fall
And carving it all into stone here
And skimming them into the river, just for you..."

I think that I've found out
What no-one's about to tell me
I think that I've found out
The place where angels fell from...
I think that I've found out
I don't wear scarlet well.


ETA: ...and now I've remembered to make the vid public, not private. Whoops. /o\

It says the video is private and won't let me play it. :(

*sheepish* I've made it public now, a small detail that might help...!

Yay! And I like it. It's a good song choice, especially for Red, but I like the way you've related it to the other two, as well.

*goes to watch it again*

Aw, thank you! I really loved the song when I stumbled over it and it kind of frustrated me - I think there's something I wanted to do with it that I didn't quite, but I don't know. (Vidding is strange!) And I did think about making it solely for Red, but it was a good one for bringing out the connections between them as well.

I love it! Really well done, and I love the music too.

I thought I'd seen most of Once Upon a Time, but you found a lot of scenes that I don't remember seeing. Obviously a structured re-watch is in order!

Aw, thank you. :-)

And, heh, I suppose that is one of the points of vidding, though - to pull out moments that people hadn't noticed. I ripped clips from quite a lot of episodes, but I think they kept coming back to Red-Handed, Heart of Darkness and the last two (though there are some others).

Oh, thank you! :-) And, yes, I was thrilled when I unexpectedly fell over the song while looking for one for them.

Lovely! Great song choice. I liked all the linking through capes and made me feel a bit like shipping red/snow!

Yay! Nice work, I liked the repeated motif of the characters in red.

Aw, thanks. Glad you liked it. And they do have an interesting relationship. It wasn't my idea to make the vid, but I leapt on it, really because of that. :-)

Thank you! :-) I fell over the song when I started looking for one and was a bit blown away for it in relation to these characters, so I'm glad other people like it too.
