STARGATE FANVID REC: Diamond Eyes by Jaap

[campylobacter]

Mallozzi & Gero are fapping over this fanvid.

I agree! It's as good as Gab's "High School Never Ends", which won the Gatefic Awards last year.

If you like special FX, action, pewpewpew, and a metal rock anthem (Shinedown's "Diamond Eyes") then PRESS PLAY.

On a completely unrelated topic – cool Stargate-related online videos – we walked into post after lunch and found Visual Effects Producer Mark Savela sitting, mesmerized, by the following fan-made video. We stopped to watch and, in seconds, we too were thoroughly entranced. It’s epic, expertly edited, and includes almost every awesome visual effects we’ve ever done. Check it out -

JaapVSWDelta, don’t know who you are, but that is one bad-ass video! Also, you misspelled “universe” in the closing rolling credits.

Yeah it's quite amazing isn't it. I'm usually all about lyrics but despite the lyrics having virtually nothing to do with anything(I think)this really blew me away...amazing job done on pairing the music with the clips...mesmerizing and heart pounding.
How cool for the creator that it's been noticed by TPTB.

The clips match the lyrics quite well; it's just that the lyrics don't have much depth (http://www.metrolyrics.com/diamond-eyes-lyrics-shinedown.html), and the rock-metal beat perfectly pairs with pyrotechnics and PEWPEWPEW!!!

I wish Janet, Sha're, Teyla, and Vala had featured in the ass-kicking, but the genre of the vid is military combat, not character introspection.

What a time to not have the ACCURATE gif saved.

[campylobacter.livejournal.com]

Yup. I need to load all my favorite fanvids on a DVD and use it as a workout video.

[ringgoldgate.livejournal.com]

Bad Ass indeed. :D

[campylobacter.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it makes me wanna find some ass to kick!

[ringgoldgate.livejournal.com]

oh,oh... have you seen the ass-kicking Sam Carter video?

OMG JIZZ IN MY PANTS

That Sam Carter fanvid is EPIC. Not your average, everyday EPIC, but the kind of epic that makes the universe spin.

She's so purdy with a gun. :D

Oh damn, that is good. I first loved Stargate for the explosions...then I found Jack O'Neill. ;P

[campylobacter.livejournal.com]

I know, right?

Why watch a regular cop show when you can watch science fiction with 'splosions and GORGEOUS PEOPLE.

[ringgoldgate.livejournal.com]

I love splosions. :D

[franthewndrhrse.livejournal.com]

Cool. I enjoyed that.

[campylobacter.livejournal.com]

:D BOO LAY BOO LAY BOOM!

[dani101.livejournal.com]

Fantastic video!:))

[campylobacter.livejournal.com]

Yep, it SCORES!

[anna-sg1.livejournal.com]

Wow! That was INTENSE! :D

[campylobacter.livejournal.com]

Yeah, must've taken HOURS & HOURS of editing.
