VID REC: Lord of the Rings - The Dark Arising
Vidder: Shakeri
Musical title/artist: The Deliverer by Joseph LoDuca
Pairing: not applicable
Vidder on LJ: unknown
Vidder's website: Video Visions
Why this vid kicks ass: LotR vids can be very hit and miss; there's no shortage of exciting, evocative footage, but finding appropriate music to match it with seems to be a tricksy proposition. For 'The Dark Arising', an exploration of some of the more sinister events in the first movie of the LotR trilogy, Shakeri has chosen part of the soundtrack from Xena: Warrior Princess's 'The Bitter Suite'. It's a dark and urgent orchestral work featuring what I've read described as 'a raging Omen-esque chorus', and it suits the shadowy, action-packed clip choices very well. The vid is dark, both thematically and visually, and Shakeri has used some well-placed colour and pace effects to provide eye-catching contrast. The final scene, as Gandalf throws himself off the tower of Isengard, is the perfect climax.
