  • Memorial Videos

    I haven't had a chance to see this yet but if you all remember the beautiful memorial video for Richard Biggs, the same person, John Hudgens, has done one for Andreas. Amy says that you should have a box of tissues nearby and maybe even a stiff drink.



    And the one for Rick is



    Let's all hope that there are no more additions for a long, long time.

      I've just watched both, I hadn't seen (wasn't aware of) the Richard Biggs Video, and I see the point about the box of tissues. I'll need some time to process this. I'm rather overcome. Piece of advice folks, IF you've not seen either, give a gap of a few hours between them, watching both has had a rather profound effect on me. I'm gonna lie down adn think about this now - and no glib remarks in this post, or in life for a while.

      "There are no good wars. War is always the worst possible way to resolve differences. It degenerates and corrupts both sides to ever more sordid levels of existence, in their need to gain an advantage over the enemy. Those actively involved in combat are almost always damaged goods for the rest of their lives. If their bodies don't bear scars, their minds do, ofttimes both. Many have said it before, but it can't be said to enough, war is hell. "

        I know how powerful the Rick Biggs one is, Phaze, so I sympathize. John did just amazing things with the music videos, too. I was lucky enough to see all of them (7, I think) at DragonCon a few years ago and it was just wonderful. People who have the bootleg bloopers tape that floats around may have seen a couple of those.

          Egads, there are sometimes when I really hate having an internet connection that can't go any faster than 28.8Kbps. And it sucks that it's not presented such that I could save it to my hard drive. It'll probably take a couple hours to download for me. [sigh]

              I wish I could have seen the music vids. Alas.

                Thanks for those links Jan.

                Both were very moving. As a fan I know I miss both of them (and miss Tim Choate as well). I can't imagine how their close friends and family most be feeling.

                Sincerest sympathies goes out to them (if they can see/read this post).

                  My heart was broken by the news, and broken again by the vid tribute. Breaking my heart is not always a bad thing.

                  Thanks, John, inasmuch as thanks is appropriate. You are a genius at this, and deserve better fame and less opportunity.
                  I believe that when we leave a place, part of it goes with us and part of us remains. Go anywhere in the station, when it is quiet, and just listen. After a while, you will hear the echoes of all our conversations, every thought and word we've exchanged. Long after we are gone .. our voices will linger in these walls for as long as this place remains. But I will admit .. that the part of me that is going .. will very much miss the part of you that is staying.

                    That G'Kar tribute video was spactacular! Thanks for making it

If we are wise, what is born of that pain matures into the promise of a better world, because we learn that we can no longer afford the mistakes of the past." -- G'Kar in Babylon 5:"In the Beginning"

                      Great videos - really moving... but in the end the music doesn't fit with the video of G'kar (too happy and bombastic IMO)
