Is this place in danger of turning into a “vid rec” site? I hope not. (No ‘ffense to vid rec sites.) Just the same, I was taking a break from working on one of my own vids (Honest.) and came across one for Staind’s song “It’s Been A While” using footage of From Hell. I don’t have any Staind in my CD collection, but I probably should.
Anyhow, the vid is pretty awe inspiring. Great matching between the tone, mood changes, and lyrics of the song to scenes from the film. Also, consistent storytelling throughout. Trying not to give things away, that’s why I’m so vague. Also, I’m not that good at writing reviews. Suffice to say, I think the vidder really nailed it.

As noted there and at the YouTube page, there is some blood, guts, etc in the vid (just as in the movie). Just so you know.
Oh, and the Greenday / Oasis / Benny & Joon vid is pretty awesome, too.
