This was the vexercise where, as I was browsing through the OG vexercises, I knew immediately who and what I wanted to do.
I chose Veronica Sarris, the Switchman (bomber) from the pilot. I've always been intrigued by her as a character - she's got a great backstory as the daughter of one of Jim's men that died in the helicopter crash in Peru, which really amps Jim's guilt when he deals with her. The confrontation between them on the bus (that the vid starts with) is so good and emotional. Plus I love the actress - Molly Parker.
But in spite of knowing all that, this was the hardest vid I've done so far for these! It was a challenge to get good clips - not so much of her, but of other aspects like the helicopter crash - that I wanted to use to tell her story. I struggled with putting things together the way I wanted them to tell the story I wanted to tell. And I struggled with the music. I've never cut music before but I really wanted specific lyrics under the clips.
The music is Entangled by Genesis. This might be one of the ones I end up expanding after the vexercises are over and I have better skills. I'd love to use the whole song and maybe pull clips from other sources to augment the story.
