I've never been a big Elizabeth fan, but I really enjoyed this. Elizabeth's trip down memory lane unfolded in the most poignant of fashions thanks to your spot on editing choices. Really, this was just lovely!
My favorite bits -
The first 16 seconds were a wonderful introduction to this vid. I loved the spliced bits of clip at the beginning and the way you got them and your opening credits to move.
At the 51 second mark, I liked John's little teasing smile for "be my friend" followed up with him coming in to hold her hand. I've never been much invested in their friendship/romance, but this stretch made me smile nevertheless.
1:49-1:58 - The visuals here were quite cool.
Great choice for Rodney's smile at 2:02. That's always been one of my favorite Rodney/Elizabeth moments because he looks so genuine in his affinity for her. Loved Elizabeth's expression in response to her seeing that Rodney wrote an epic book about her for "unfold me." And of course, loved the inclusion of The Storm/Eye stuff with Rodney stepping in between her and Kolya's gun along with him keeping his arm around her as they sit in the raging storm. Then the fleeting bits of Teyla, O'Neil, Carson, and Ronon that follow warmed me as well, esp. the Ronon bit (that scene where he thanks her for letting him stay is one of my favorites from this season).
And finally from 3:08 with Atlantis rising to the surface to the end with her being left behind, the quicker cuts and movement you exercised really got me caught up in Elizabeth Weir's storyline. Again I say wonderful job!
Wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave awesome feedback. It really helps to know what other people are thinking about the videos I edit.
:) I'm glad you like the clips I picked for the lyrics. There wasn't enough time in the song to show her relationship with everyone in equal lengh, so I picked John and Rodney for the beginning longer parts because I feel like the two of them were closer to her than other members of the team.
I have to admit that I do pair John and Elizabeth together, but I tried to focus more on Elizabeth since I was doing the tribute for her. I'm glad you liked the scenes I picked with the two of them. :)
There are so many great scenes with Rodney and Elizabeth. I used all the ones that really stood out for me the most. I'm glad you picked up on that "unfold me" part where she is watching him leave after finding out about book he'd written her. I didn't know if anyone would pick up on that. :)
I'm also glad you liked the clips with the rest of the characters. I picked the clips for Ronon for unfold me because he was thanking her for letting himself stay on Atlantis. I thought that showed a lot about her character and his, so I thought it was perfect for "unfold me line." :)
Again I want to thank you for leaving awesome feedback. No enough people do this, so thank you. *hugs*
