I'M BACK IN THE SYTYCV COMPETITION!
The challenge was to take a certain aspect of a movie that the movie is not really focussed on and take it into a brighter light (and somehow using a song that doesn't fit...I didn't get that part but whatever -- I think it just means 'take a song you usually wouldn't chose for this fandom')
I mean the task itself is not the real problem I just had some troubles with understanding what they are looking for specifically. Because...taking an aspect of a movie and vid it in the tone that it is originally presented in but not mainly focussed on for me is no paradox this is how I usually vid. SLASHERS AND AU FOLKS OUT THERE KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, RIGHT? - reeeaad betweeeen the liiinees -
So when I read 'look for tiny reactions the actors have' I immediately knew I needed to make something involving Robert Downey Jr. He's the king of micro reactions, seriously. The emotions he puts into a one-second scene can be a million different ones. It then was a choice between Due Date and Iron Man. I started both and then decided that the Iron Man video would be better for this particular task (I turned Due Date into a horror movie which is so much fun but doesn't really fit the task because it's seems a little AU and also there's actually nothing creepy in the movie so...yeah not really.)
Judges Notes:
I chose the character of Tony Stark again, if you haven't watched the movie you might still remember my character study in the first round of SYTYCV. This is how he usually is, a genius, billionaire, playboy philanthropist.
(( • Tony Stark | oh no! [S... ))
In the end I wanted to take Tony Stark's Afghanistan storyline and present it much worse than it was shown in the movie though it actually was very traumatic.
How Afghanistan was portrayed in the film:
It just happened to be the main reason for Tony to become aware of the situation he puts people into by building weapons and also he realized that his weapons are somehow sold to terrorists. Also it was his inspiration for the Iron Man suit and was presented as a plausible explanation for coming up with the Iron Man idea.
Though I do think there are few moments in the film where Tony suffers because of Afghanistan, especially the scene with Pepper where he says: I shouldn't be alive.
Which is a line that kills me all the time (WHY ARE MY FAVOURITE SUPERHEROES ALSWAYS SUICIDAL?! ignore that rant).
But no one really seems to care about him being taken hostage and tortured by terrorists (!!! they tortured him and the movie really ignores that aspect, they even cut it out I just happen to have the directors cut dvd WHY DID YOU CUT THAT OUT it's important to understand Tony!), Pepper does tell him to go to a hospital ONCE. But afterwards no one ever mentioned it to him again, basically because he seems to have gotten over it, but what if he didn't?
What if it hurts him that his best friend doesn't want to listen to him and tells him to 'get his head right' first? What is the Iron Man idea was a way for him to process what happened to him?
The paradox is actually that Tony really is the playboy of the century and only wants to eat cheesburgers instead of processing the terrorist attack.

Slow Motion is my best friend seriously. I'd abandon every effect, every overlay if someone made me chose between them and Slow Motion, SLOMO IS BEST!!
Also I love black white contrasts and colouring way too much. I willingly sacrifice some logistics just to make the clip look beautiful. That's why sometimes I chose to let the colour in place though it's a flashback that should be black and white CAN'T BE TAMED LADIES AND GENTS.
Jeez I hope I did the task right this time.
It would really be a punch in the face if I don't make this round or don't even get a little close to making it since that really would mean I don't belong anywhere near this contest anymore. Of cause I had to drop out in the round where they analysed and wrote a critic for the first time Oo which makes you really insecure because you don't know if it was a mistake you made only once or if they let you past the last few rounds because of pity or just to meet the number.
So but yeah whatever, not the end of the world...
HERE HAVE AN AMAZING VIDDER PROMOTED INSTEAD:

She deserves the CREDIT FOR ALL THE THINGS INVOLVING THIS VIDEO.
She told me I could still enter the competition.
She pointed me towards the SONG.
OH MY GOD THIS SONG WAS JUST TOO PERFECT TO IGNORE.
That was quite a killer description.
Cookie if you made it to this line.
