The Rohirric Vid of Dorkitude

[mimesere]

And again, thanks to the kindness of Miss themagdalene, there is wacky viddage!

Ahem.

http://www.ourfallenwords.com/mimesere/eorlingas.wmv (Windows Media Player)
http://www.ourfallenwords.com/mimesere/eorlingas.rm   (Real Player)

Right click and save.  An extra special two formats! 'cause sometimes the Real media file is wonky. 

ETA: Er. Fixed the wackiness in the link. It should work now! My faux pas!

ETA2: Ceylon tea is a bit peppery for my tastes. Give me Assam or Earl Grey any day, man.

Continues to be much with the pretty.

Aww! *smooch*

I go woo! a lot :)

I'm currently getting 404 errors for both these files -- I'll try again later this afternoon, in case it's a temporary thing.

[enigel]

it's an extra space at the end of the link that causes this; try this link:

[naomichana.livejournal.com]

Aha! Many thanks. :)

[enigel]

the day may come when I will give insightful, detailed feedback on vids. this is not that day. this day I squee!
and once again bow to your power of choosing a rather unusual song and making it work.

PS: the 404 error some people are getting is because of an extra space at the end of the address. (the &nbsp that appears when viewing the HTML)

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

*g* Honestly? I didn't think it was all that unusual of a song choice because it's horse-y sounding! and about glory! And what's more Rohirric than horse-y sounding glory?

But yay! I'm glad you liked it :)

::squee!::

That was fantabulous. I got all misty-eyed at some of the scenes - the little boys getting armor & swords before Helm's Deep, the charge of the Rohhirrim at Pelennor Fields...

You rawk.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

*g* Thank you!

Re: glorious in song

[naomichana.livejournal.com]

I don't know the first thing about vid feedback, but that was just right.

*points to icon* I need to redo this, really, find a better screenshot or something, but the sentiment holds. And since I don't remember whether the phrase I borrowed made it into the movies somewhere, I'll reproduce the whole exchange here:

"Nay, Gandalf," said the king. "You do not know your own skill in healing.... I myself will go to war, to fall in the front of the battle, if it must be. Thus shall I sleep better."

"Then even the defeat of Rohan will be glorious in song," said Aragorn. The armed men that stood near clashed their weapons, crying: "The Lord of the Mark will ride! Forth Éorlingas!"

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Yay! You were one of the people I was actually trying to entertain with this vid so, yay! Go team me!

And as far as I know, that exchange didn't make it into the movie. But who knows? It might be in the extended remix. And oh, yay! *hearts the rohirrim and you*

I am all happy now. *beaming*

[isabeau.livejournal.com]

eeeeeee *squee*

<3 rohirrim, yo.

You are wonderful, miss. *smooch*

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Hee! The Rohirrim are very heartable. Because they are the Rohirrim! and all...uh. Heartable!

*mwah*

[prairiedaun.livejournal.com]

Dude, that's just awesome.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

*beam* Thank you!

[lorij.livejournal.com]

Hrm. I get a 404 on both.

::sob::

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Sad! I fixed the links, though, so:

http://www.ourfallenwords.com/mimesere/eorlingas.wmv
or
http://www.ourfallenwords.com/mimesere/eorlingas.rm

should work now. Somehow, there was a blank space attached to the end of the URL and it was being all wonky.

[voleuse.livejournal.com]

Forth Eorlingas! ROCK THE FUCK ON!

Adore the vid.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

WOO! *devil horns*

Ahem. I'm glad you liked it :)

[celli]

Not only did I love it truly, madly, deeply, my brother was sitting in the next chair and I had to stop it and start playing it again so he could watch it, and he liked it too. Two for the price of one!

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

*giggle* Yay! I am doubly glad that you both liked it :) It's a vid that makes me very happy.

[nolivingman.livejournal.com]

Oh my goodness, that was perfect. Love love love it. It's beautiful and sad and inspiring and I love Theoden to death (and Eomer & Eowyn and all of them, but Theoden most of all). And you used the "Oaths ye have taken" quote at the end! *loves the vid some more* In summary, that was fantastic.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

*beam* Theoden is so my kingly boyfriend! I mean. Um. I love the Rohirrim a lot! All of them! But I'm so with you on loving Theoden to death. 'cause he's all...kingly! And makes good speeches.

And hee. The quote at the end was me indulging in a bit of geekery. Also, it's a fun quote, so yay! Double the pleasure.

[nolivingman.livejournal.com]

Aw, I always call Theoden "My boyfriend, the King" cause he's so sexy and kingly and stuff.

[ktnb81.livejournal.com]

Oh my god. This was so fabulous. I never would have thought that Bon Jovi and LOTR would fit, but it's absolutely perfect. :)

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Bon Jovi is appropriate for most occasions. Especially occasions that have horses.

Which is to say that I like him lots, 'cause he's all rockin' and stuff.

[andrealyn]

There are no words.

There are absolutely no words to describe how much you ROCK. That is one of the best vids I've ever seen, just...WOW.

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Woo! Aren't the Rohirrim all happy? I heart them.

*beam* Thank you.

Yay!

[perian.livejournal.com]

Wow.

I'm speechless...

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Yay?

*smooch*

[ange01.livejournal.com]

oh my god, Rohan in a Blaze of Glory! This is the BEST THING EVER! I'm bouncing in my seat over here...

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

*giggle* Woo! I thought it was a pretty darn good combination my own self.

And yay for bouncing!

[softplaces.livejournal.com]

You're brilliant, you are. You nearly made me cry (again).

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Aww! *cuddling* I'm glad you liked it, miss!

[rach74.livejournal.com]

Just wanted to say how much I love your videos.
I especially like Hallelujah and the LOTR one.
Perfect songs and beautifully cut.Thanks for making them.
