Brilliant. Perfect song for Walter and all his peculiarities. Just brilliant! :)

[beccatoria]

Thank you! I'm really glad you liked it. When I heard the song I knew it had to be done. :)

[beccatoria]

Thank you! The song is just so him right? I knew when I heard it I had to vid it.

Oh, this is great! I love the song you chose, and how you included both the humour and the heart-break, and let every character have their moment without losing the focus on Walter. This is very poignant and clever and lovely and makes me miss the show. Can't wait for S3!

[beccatoria]

Aww, thank you! :) I'm really glad that all the different facets of Walter came through - his tangle of contradictions is what makes him so compelling, so I'm really glad that managed to come through in the vid. I can't wait for S3 either!

This is marvelous. And amazing at really hitting that twisty balance between playground, warmth, tragedy and horror that Walter's so good at. It's a fabulous song for him.

And I love everything, but both the sections with Dr Warren and her mother, and the "a god in whom you've never believed", just. So. Perfect. !!!! WHITE TULIP! It's the sort of vid I want to put on a continuous loop just to marvel at the comparisons endlessly. Possibly bake it a pie. :) or appropriately buy it a slushie and some Berry Boom cereal.

Both the long shot of Olivia at 1:16 and the last couple in the grocery store also feel like a punch to the gut. Really emotionally powerful in context. And more hilariously, the centipede heart thing beating on the beat was a laugh I wasn't expecting. o_O

Awesome comment is awesome! :D I wasn't originally planning on making a Walter vid just because he's so complex and I didn't know how I'd do it, but then I found this sooooong and just knew I had to and it immediately jumped up my "to vid" list about three places.

I'm so thrilled you noticed Dr Warren! And the white tulip! The long shot of Olivia at 1:16 was actually one of the first bits I storyboarded in my head (inasmuch as I did that for this vid which ended up being a bit more fly by the seat of my pants), while the grocery shots at the end were a much later addition - I didn't know what I was going to end on but I knew it had to be devastating and I kept panicking I wouldn't find something, until, at last, I stumbled across the perfect clip.

So yes, thanks or noticing pretty much everything I wanted someone to notice! <3

This is so lovely!

I really like how you managed to include both the humour and the tragedy of the character - and the song choice is really perfect for Walter. Great job :)

[beccatoria]

Thank you! The contradiction between the humour and tragedy of the character was very definitely something I didn't want to lose hold of when vidding him so it's very gratifying to hear I didn't do that.

I wasn't actually planning on vidding Walter until I heard the song and just knew it had to be done, it was so perfect. Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed it!
