ZOMG I loooooovvvvveeeedddd this. My favourite vid of all festivids, I think.

Your feedback on this vid made Festivids for me this year - thank you so much. It's been especially a thrill coming from someone whose vids I have enjoyed so much. Looks like you've made two of my favorites in this round as well!

I didn't get a chance to watch this until just now, but omg it's really beautiful! I love the editing and the way it matches the song.

Thank you! During the Festivids signup brainstorming process, the song jumped out as a good match for the movie, and I was glad to get this as my assignment. Once I hashed out the structure (not a pleasant process!), the vid really came together. I'm so glad you liked it.

Secret confession: It always gives me a special dose of happy when one of my favourite vids turns out to be made by a person I really like.

Eee, that is very sweet. I also love getting comments from friends during the anonymity period, because it means the people I like and respect have good things to say about my work & I know it's not just platitudes, because my name isn't on it. Same for you? So, roundabout way of saying thanks for this comment and for the one you left on the Festivids post originally. ♥

I really enjoyed this. Excellent editing throughout.

Cool! Thank you very much.

Oh, wow, thank you so much. What a wonderful thing to hear on this cold, snowy morning. Someone recently asked me which is my favorite vid I've made, and I replied that this one I think is my best-edited. I love this song - hauntingly beautiful, you're exactly right - and tried to live up to it with the film clips.

I will reupload it this morning to Mediafire and update the link. Thanks for the reminder!

Uh, hold that thought - have to track down the file on an external hard drive. Haven't forgotten!
