Frank Delfino - The Cave

 

May 2023
Fandom: How to Get Away with Murder
Song: The Cave by Mumford & Sons

Program: VegasPro 20

Coloring: SunnyVids Red Dawn (w/some adjustments)

Description:

Ummmmm Idk if there is something wrong with me that there's a fictional character that is a literal serial killer, and I love him because he's hot (sorry not sorry?) Seriously though, Frank is one of my favorite fictional characters of all time. Goated. Serial killer be damned, this is my fictional husband.

I chose this song because of the phrase, "on the noose around your neck." There are so many ways this is relevant to the character of Frank, who has literally strangled people to death. He puts his own metaphorical noose around his neck through his self-destruction, and he constantly has Sam's grip around his neck (literally and figuratively), as this controlling force of his life.

Wait... this is only my SECOND video on this computer??? I bought this fancy-ass computer for the literal purpose of editing. It's also only my SECOND video on VegasPro 20?? What did I buy all that for?! I know I work full-time, but I invested in all of this for the literal purpose of spending time editing. So I better spend time editing.

In all fairness, this video was a massive undertaking where I wanted to do one of my favorite fictional characters of all time narrative justice. He has seldom been vidded as a standalone character, but he carries so much of the weight of the show on his back. I spent endless hours poring over footage to create the story I wanted to tell in just three minutes. Again, no fancy editing techniques or anything, just pure storytelling and character study. That's where I feel most at home in my videos. I hope I could pay tribute to this character in even the smallest of ways, because he has had such a lasting impact on my life.

The coloring that I downloaded from SunnyVids... I'm not even sure if it's got all of the effects or it's missing something... because I remember I had issues with one of the colorings and it might have been this one. But even if the coloring is incomplete, it looked good?? And I liked the title of "red dawn", I have fun matching the coloring titles to the content of the video.
