A 3-part Tiva mini-marathon edit: A prologue of Tony finding out that a missing Ziva is in love with him, Tiva opening credits and finally Silver War completely condensed into a Tony/Ziva-centric episode. On the outside, I simply manipulated Silver War to be Tiva. On a deeper level, this is what happens when Ziva decides to return to NCIS to be open about her relationship with Tony.
Abby can't deal, Gibbs finally accepts, and Tim is cautious.
Turn up your volume while Tony and Ziva are by the bright window, talking alone.
I've done this a lot with another show and here's my first full episode for NCIS!
The story:
Tony is on the trail to finding Ziva, and the doctor has lied to him and tells him that Ziva loves him, but due to hating Ziva she sent her away. Angry Tony walks away to find her, later thinking about the woman's words, realizing now that Ziva has always loved him, which is why he didn't try more to stop her from leaving. Now he needs her back. The woman gives him the file. Off-camera, Tony and Ziva are in communication but Ziva doesn't want to put a label on their relationship. As life goes on, Tony becomes more insecure about how Ziva feels about him.
Come a few weeks/months/years (whatever you want, really) later, Ziva has become Israeli-tomboy again and has decided to surprise Tony and she's ready to say they are together AND work with him. As his girlfriend, she playfully criticizes his hair.
Tim and even Tony are worried about what Gibbs will think about co-workers dating. They urge Ziva to talk to him, and her smile fades when she finds out he knows, which is something they didn't want at this time. He silently tells her to go to the elevator with him, and she nervously goes.
The rest, I think, is self-explanatory (as if the whole entire videos isn't). The civil war casket case, I thought, was playful, so I left it. The affection part, albeit strange and not that cute, *is* Tiva, so I put it in. Plus, it leads up to the awesome LJG part. :D
This video assumes you love NCIS, story, cases, characters, all, but are missing More Tiva!
Didn't put in end credits because I don't like these particular ones so I didn't deal with them.
As with most of my manipulations, I believe that everything I use for dialogue is from the episodes I have edited. I like things organic. The episode already has all the Tiva in it--just need to find it and piece it together! :)
This is probably one of my favorite dialogue edits I've done. I know, I know, I'm being that person and plugging the video on my main page, but I REALLY love this and for eff's sake: IT RETURNS ZIVA TO NCIS! (supposed to, as much as I can, anyway)
If you didn't hear Tony agree with Ziva's statement that he's thinking of having sex with her, turn up your volume around "we know what people are thinking". I know, I'm saying this again, but THE EDIT IS AWESOMMMME.
For all of you hard-of-hearing: Just closed captioned this for you! I imagine a manip would be really hard to lip read as oppose to an actual conversation where every lip movement means what it is supposed to! (some vowels/consonants here are implied.
4000+ views and 23 likes! So happy--this is definitely one of my favorites and I'm glad you Tiva lovers agree. xo I don't care if it's 2060 and the show is long gone--I will still like Tiva...!
I so would have (tried to, anyway) made "right now you're thinking of doing me" differently; more realistic in terms of Ziva's head movement. Right now looking at the final product I get an idea lol. Well, you live and you learn. I think I redeemed myself with my H-o-u-s-e video.
I did the Abby info bit thinking you guys were fast readers. I always test out my text's timing myself. Sorry. :-p But on the plus side, you get more screen time for the "episode"!
------------------------
Working on an edit somewhat similar to this one, although more playful. I don't have time on my side for this one; my social and professional life is taking over...and I get a strong feeling YouTube won't let me keep it here...the video I got it from was deleted either by force or the person got a notice. But I'm going with the part of me that doesn't have a strong feeling. ;) One way or another, I'll get on the net for you Tivistas to watch. ;-D
