Vid: "I'm on a Boat" (Star Trek XI)

Oh dear. I appear to have done this.

Title: I'm on a Boat
Song Artist: Lonely Island feat. T-Pain
Fandom: Star Trek (reboot)
Pairing: everybody/the motherfucking boat
Summary: AWW SHIT GET YOUR TOWELS READY IT'S ABOUT TO GO DOWN

Watch I'm on a Boat streaming on imeem

Download I'm on a Boat in .avi format (zipped)

This vid obviously owes its existence to [info]sparkly_stuff's inspirational I'M ON A SHIP. It is also, fair warning, my first vid. Basically I waited a couple days to see if anyone else was going to make a vid like this, and they didn't, so I did. (See ETA below! The internet is big.)

Special thanks as usual to [info]doorrepairgirl for support and brainstorming. Oh, and many thanks to this tutorial for n00bs. Fortunately I went into this with some iMovie experience already under my belt, but I sure needed newbie tips all the same.

I, uh, have no other real notes. I think it kind of speaks for itself. (And what it says, I hope, is, "You can't stop me, motherfucker, 'cause I'm on a boat.")

Whoa! Exciting ETA: It has already been done! Our approaches are different, but we are in agreement about "I fucked a mermaid". \o/

OH THAT WAS JUST FUCKING AWESOME.

I love the matchup of words and images, especially with the "flips and shit" and the "fucked a mermaid" and MOST OF ALL with Spock telling the Vulcan motherfuckers he's on a BOAT. ("Motherfuckers" really, REALLY works with what they've just said to him in that scene. AWESOME.)

SO VERY COOL. *bows down before you*

Thank you so much! It was a ton of fun to do. I feel like JJ has made one of the most viddable movies, like, ever.

And eeek, I was all excited about this and twittered a link, and it occurs to me that I don't know how the Powers That Be are in this case, whether they're all Joss-like about vids or totally cease-and-desist, and it's not like I have many followers but my twitter isn't privated, should I take that down?

My computer is too dumb to cope with imeem. I need a new computer....

Yaaaaay! Somehow "nautical-themed pashmina afghan" only gets funnier every time I see it. (Same goes for "Poseidon." ahahahahaa)

Hee - this was adorable! And I'm really impressed with it as a first vid - you have a great eye for choosing interesting, exciting clips!

Yay! Oh, I really liked this. I don't want to invite warring but I think I like your approach better than the other vid's, because I think this benefits from nonlinear storytelling.

Awesome. Hope you re-cut it when better source is available :)

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! I think it's kind of awesome to be able to see just how different people's aesthetic takes can be on a single, you know, ridiculous idea. :)

That is so true. It is the reason remix contests are so awesome.

YOU ARE AWESOME.

I watched this yesterday but just realized I didn't get a chance to comment. I've seen several I'm On A Boat/Star Trek vids done, but I honestly like yours the best (with the exception of this one because she used my lyrics ;D) You did a great job with the editing! And I'm flattered to know I inspire anybody to make more awesome fan stuff <3

Heee! Thank you very much!

I think we can all agree that you happened upon something very deep in the zeitgeist with that post. :)
