VIDDER'S NOTE:

The existence of this vid is entirely due to an image in my head. Listening to the song (repeatedly, since it's a song I adore from a band I adore) I kept think how much one note in the intro sounded like a water drop. And how cool it would be to have a credit title ripple like water in time with that note. All of which finally led me to open Final Cut, import the song and play around with title effects for three days until I had just the right ripple with just the right timing.

And then I realized I should probably make a vid to go with the title.

Apart from wanting to figure out the ripple effect, the song always struck me as a good one for Bodie, for showing how he plays around with love and affection, but how ultimately Doyle is the only true partner for him, in all senses of the word.



Love's Not a Competition
by the Kaiser Chiefs

I won't be the one
To disappoint you anymore
And I know, I've said all this
And that you've heard it all before
The trick is getting you
To think that all this was your idea
And that this was everything
You've ever wanted out of here

Love's not a competition but I'm winning

I'm not sure what's truly
Altruistic anymore
When every good thing that
I do is listed and you're keeping score

Love's not a competition but I'm winning
Love's not a competition but I'm winning

At least I thought I was
But there's no way of knowing
At least I thought I was
But there's no way of knowing

You know what it's like when you're new to the game but I'm not
I won't be the one to disappoint you
I won't be the one to disappoint you anymore
I won't be the one to disappoint you
(Love's not a competition but I'm winning)
I won't be the one to disappoint you anymore
(Love's not a competition but I'm winning)
I won't be the one to disappoint you
(Love's not a competition but I'm winning)...
