Good Omens 2 x ABBA | On And On And On

Okay let's add a description to this (3 weeks later lol but hey what can ya do)
About 6 weeks of work went into this, or at least I finished it about 6 weeks after the season came out. It's one of my favourite videos I've edited so far, tied with my previous Good Omens edit set to The Worrying Kind. I'm still feeling a bit iffy on the colour grade in a few places, but overall I'm very happy with the result!
I had the song in mind for the season for months before it was released cause even the basic premise we were given then fit the lyrics so incredibly well, and while making this I realised just how even more ridiculously well-suited it really was. I've never had an edit just fall into place almost of its own accord quite like this one, especially the verses, although repetitive choruses are always a struggle to think of new clips for to keep both the video and song lyrics coherent, while avoiding making it too same-same-y (hence the first chorus being halved lol).
Thank you all for the amazing response to this vid, you're all stars. Keep on rocking everyone, till the night is gone! (aka until we get s3, which as of today 17-09-23 I believe is once again going under the pen, so a big cheer for that! Edit: and it seems as of 9-11-23 that the actors could now be available as well! Amazon: time to renew Good Omens!)

So Abba had the gift of prophecy. Good to know. Amazing vid, my mind is blown.

[@floveslondon]

Love the feeling this gives me, you still show all the heart ache and troubles, but at the same time it also feels hopeful for a third season and for all this to be resolved 💜

[@SamanthaArevaloSalmeron]

Ya he repetido el video como 10 veces esta hermoso el video la canción todo ❤

[@SorayaSantos2000]

Omfg i never thought this would fit so well. This gotta be my favorite so far 🥺🥺

[@nikk-named]

Yo this is perfect! crowley's "we've been talking for millions of years." speech is the first that came to mind when seeing this song and this is great editing. Very painful.

[@xxlisagamerxx3681]

i've rewatched this like 5000000 times i love it so much😭😭😭obsessed

[@cubisttubist]

Thank you for introducing me to (yet another) ABBA song that has strong Good Omens vibes!

[@SeriouslyNothingToSeeHere]

Thank you for making this, I love abba but I haven’t branched out from the mamma Mia soundtrack and now I know another song of theirs I love. This was really fitting to the edit

[@quasalor1480]

I'm still so stunned by this.

[@leonieweber9900]

I have seen some amazing edits so far, that have all cured my broken goodomens-heart little by little, but this one TAKES THE CAKE! The songchoice, the transitions, the editing -I love it all! Thank you for this

[@zenithdawn]

Litterly my fav song on my abba record

[@Anna_Priscilla]

This is perfect! It was a delight to see the lyrics connecting to the scenes/plot 💙💙 Love me some ABBA x GO

[@francescadellabona4988]

this is amazing

[@clarestubbs9303]

INEFFABLE CON 5! ❤❤❤ I was a huge Abba fan back in the 70's and 80's (still am really) and loved this song. When this came on in Ineffable Con I thought, "Now how does this fit GO?" but OMG, it fits so well! ❤ "People (Angels) care for nothing, no respect for human rights" and it shows the plans for the Second Coming wiping out the Human race. PERFECTION! ❤❤ I have been humming this and seeing bits of it in my head since I watched it. 👍😁

[@maddiemakes13]

Thank you!! ❤️💜❤️💜 The con was so much fun! (though I was only there virtually) Lots of great panels and fellow fans with so much insight. I love this space sm

[@user-rf2iu3wo9u]

[@letolethe3344]

Oooooooooooo, what a rockin song. Kind of a nice change from all the sad tunes.

[@Sammygull]

you made it fit so nice and creatively!! usually i dont enjoy these type of mv edits but yours is really cute

[@tortadelimao8270]

INCRÍVEL!!! simplesmente acabei de conhecer uma nova música da ABBA e ganhei essa linda edit de brinde. Eu meio que pesquisei o significado e a tradução da música, e acho que você quis passar uma mensagem com a edit. Algo como, "ei, caras, não fiquem tristes com o final da segunda temporada, continue sorrindo e espere pelo melhor". Então, muito obrigado por isso! Realmente encantador 💃

[@marzettik]

So awesome! Great song choice. ❤

[@magnummagnusen]

[@Luca21nz]

Awesome. I really love this edit and the music is so fitting, watched it several times already

[@selenaherself]

Honestly, this song is a very underrated bop, and I do not say this lightly. Bth I'm very sad that I couldn't find ukulele chords for it (though I suspect they would be similar to Knowing Me Knowing You or Dancing Queen)

[@drimmsydra13]

Such a perfect edit, all scenes are so nicely put together with the song!

[@noahmilodalmas3978]

Thank you so much for letting me discover this song!!!!

AMAZING

[@AngKritter12]

This is amazing 😍

[@mychanel3162]

I'm sorry but how do you even begin to storyboard this? It was amazing! Really, what were the stages of making it? You edited the nods for Heaven's sake!

[@maddiemakes13]

lmao 😂 thanks for the compliment! The answer is I don't really storyboard anything, although sometimes I wish I could cause then making these might not take so long... 😅 The tl;dr stages of making these videos are: 1) OMG this song is PERFECT for X show!! 2) put song on editing timeline and add lyrics 3) inscrutable whirlpool of mingled euphoria and exasperation lasting at least 5-6 weeks (unless it peters out along the way) 4) finished video The slightly longer, more explanatory explanation is: For shows I watch a lot, certain moments and little movements just tend to stick in my mind, as if they were dance moves I'd practiced. Editing actually feels like a kind of dancing-more physical than intellectual. It's all about finding a flow of movement within and between clips, and using the structure of the music as a tightrope to propel and reign it in. When it sits just right, watching it back becomes a physical sensation. There is a fair amount of inane gesticulating involved in making these 😂 There are also some editing best practices that it helps to keep in mind: building momentum by cutting on the beat, cutting on action as well as maintaining continuity of motion between clips to tie them together, as well as having a clear and consistent point of focus within the frame, so that the eye doesn't have to waste time scanning the image for where to look every time there's a cut. It's usually said that the best editor is the one that isn't noticed, and to not be noticed, you need to avoid making the audience work. Reduce resistance, basically. Patterns between movements and rhythm tend to reveal themselves just by dropping clips onto a timeline with music already on it. There's always something to time, even if you don't know what it is when you first pick the clip. Then it's just a question of lining up the beginnings and ends of clips with each other and the beat, and nudging their contents back and forth a frame or two at a time until the timing and flow sit just right. It helps to have a feel for narrative structure as well, to give the clips a purpose beyond just rhythm. A kind of breath in, breath out continuous buildup and release of emotional tension. Honestly, what takes me the longest and causes the most frustration is thinking of clips to use. I work mostly from intuition, so usually it's just one thing reminding me of another, and then that makes me think of something else, until I've filled the entire runtime of the song with clips. Movements, lyrics, plot points and themes can all spark associations. Parallells and stuff only occur to me in the moment while editing, they usually aren't planned out on paper beforehand. That's where knowing and trusting your own tastes helps. Taste is how you know when you've got it right. I am very aware of when and how I like something, which also helps me to identify why something isn't working, or to move on when it's done. Solid taste also helps keep things consistent. That isn't to say there is such a thing as good or bad taste, but there needs to be such a thing as your taste. For me, a lot of it's about picking the right song, since that is the source of my inspiration. Usually there is some kind of common thematic arc between the song and show in question that piqued my interest, and then playing with that idea drives and guides the entire editing process. Basically it's a little bit of theoretical knowledge guiding a lot of intuition, and simply learning how to follow the vibes. Idk how helpful that is, but I think that is as well as I can put it, since there isn't a lot of method to my madness ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (and thanks for giving me the opportunity to rant for a bit, it's fun to just go on about something you love every once in a while.)
