the legend of ron speirs
roland aimed his thompson gun he didn't say a word...
#band of brothers#bobedit#hbo war#hbowaredit#ron speirs#ronald speirs#idk how people tag him lol#kbsd.amv#kbsd.hbow#ok director's commentary:#another amv that's been finished and sitting in my drafts for a month bc it was waiting to be posted after a deadline lmao#this was my entry for our server's monthly fanwork challenge with the prompt myth/legend (h/t kira)#obv my mind immediately went to speirs#i LOVE warren zevon so when i was brainstorming this video and trying to think of what music to use#and what feeling i wanted to evoke i knew it HAD to be him and well. thompson gunner? come on…#truly could only be more perfect if speirs’ name was roland not ronald hahaha#anyway. i was less concerned with following the /exact/ narrative of this song#and more with using its central character—a legendary‚ immortal gunner driven by endless war—#as a vehicle for the sound bites i wanted to weave about speirs’ mythic status in easy company#(i even downloaded a karaoke version so i could drop some lyrics out to make room for dialogue lol)#i also wanted to highlight how the fear surrounding the rumors slowly shifts to respect#i really tried to capture a specific rhythm and feeling with this one#and i'm SO so proud of how it turned out <3#i was going to make a companion video to a different zevon song that kind of dismantled the legend?#and showed the more human/scared side of speirs#but i didn't quite have the footage i needed i'm going to fold it into a larger gen video idea i have...we'll see#ANYWAY. SPEIRS SUNDAY
