**CLOIS: "How Far We've Come" Project**
This is a BRAND NEW *EPIC* PROJECT I began that I hope will excite Clois fans, old and new, worldwide!
For anyone who doesn't already know, Season 9 of Smallville has FINALLY given us TRUE Clois (Clark + Lois). It has been nothing short of spectacular, and the best is yet to come when new episodes return January 22nd, 2010! But it is important for us to remember that this relationship has been building for FIVE years, and it has always been fascinating and fun to watch!
Have you ever had a friend or family member who shows some spark of interest in Smallville or Clois, but they just don't want to pursue it because of the intimidation factor that comes with walking blindly into a TV series that has been on the air for 9 years? There is a lot to catch up on and aside from finding time and ways to watch virtually EVERY SINGLE episode, it is extremely difficult to draw new viewers to a TV show that has been on for such a long time!
Which is why I had the idea that maybe if I could come up with a way to get most of the pertinent moments in a shorter time frame - people may be more likely to step in and watch. Or at the very least, allow their interest to be piqued. ;)
I've actually had some people tell me that my Clois Countdowns have gotten them curious enough to watch the show, but of course those can be confusing because nothing is in true chronological order in a Countdown.
That said, however, this entire idea was essentially inspired by my Clois Countdowns. Some of my YouTube pals here have asked me to do a Countdown for Season 9 already - which I see as kinda pointless because I will only have to start all over again in the summer once Season 9 is complete. For the record, I WILL be doing a Season 9 Countdown - I'm just going to wait until summer so I have ALL of the Season 9 moments to work with. Still, out of those requests, this CRAZY idea was born. ;)
I look at this as something like a "Clois Starter Kit," for lack of a better term. I've taken most of the monumental moments from seasons 4 through 9 and compiled them into a single video. Granted, that video turned out to be FIVE *HOURS* LONG, LOL ... so it is basically more like an epic movie ... but still.
There will be a Playlist set up so you can watch all of the videos easily, in order.
The moments are together and presented purely in their original form. It is my belief that this entire project video can stand alone for the most part. So you should be able to show this 4 1/2 hour set of video clips to a person who has never set eyes on Smallville, or Superman even, and they will likely come out of it with an appreciation for Clois and the relationship that the fans have happily watched develop over the last 5 years!
Of course, it serves a good purpose for true Clois fans like us as well because it is a nice way to relive all of those moments without having to dig through numerous DVDs or files on our computers, etc. The clips are arranged in order AS THEY HAPPENED on the series, so there is no wondering "what happened first" or anything of that sort.
I'm calling this project "Clark and Lois: How Far We've Come," Because it is appropriate, for obvious reasons. Originally I used the song "How Far We've Come" by Matchbox 20 over the credits, but YouTube didn't like that so I had to get rid of the song.
I truly do believe someone could watch this 5 hour "montage" of Clois and come into the series fully prepared for almost anything Clois related. Obviously I didn't include ALL of the Clois moments, because that would have been a lot more than 5 hours ... but I tried to pick the moments I felt were defining for Clark and Lois in their growth as friends and as a couple.
It is funny to me that, as it turns out, almost 3/4 of the entire video takes place in seasons 8 and 9. If that doesn't make a HUGE statement as to how fortunate Clois fans have been over the last year I don't know what does! ;)
Since it is 5 hours long, I will have to upload it to YouTube in SEVERAL parts ... at least 20 or more. I may actually reserve this project to a completely separate YouTube channel, depending on how things look.
Thanks, and I hope you enjoy the Clois Journey!! :)
