This is great. The editing is so seamless; it seems effortless, and yet every cut is perfectly right for the music. It was also very easy on the eyes, and easy for me, as a non-viewer of FNL, to understand what you were saying about Tyra's character. I especially liked all of the scenes with her mother.

Eee! Thank you! *g* FNL footage was really different to work with because they use a lot of handheld cameras, but I found I could make that work to produce a sort of flowing, natural look... I think! And yes, the scenes with her mum are my favourite too! I think they're where I really hooked into her, and they're so beautiful and expressive.

Thank you for watching! *hugs*

i just jump in to say, I love your song choice :)

/is shallow/

[bop_radar]

Awww, thank you! And yes, I understand--it's hard if you do not know the show. It was sweet of you to watch anyway! *hugs*

I can't figure out how to download it. :cries:

[bop_radar]

Oh no! Um, click the sendspace link and scroll down to where there is a red flashing arrow? It points at the link.

[norwich36]

Oh, thank you. I looked all over that page and somehow didn't see the link. I was hoping to start downloading before I went shopping, since the predicted download time is 2 hours.

Oh, honey, please don't feel you have to watch it! You don't even watch FNL! You are too good a friend. *hugs*

[kristiinthedark]

Ok. I've never seen this show, you know that. But having said that? I *loved* this. I got a real feel for the character in just a couple minutes, which is awesome. Great job with the pacing and the song choice and just overall YAY.

I'm so happy you're doing this, because obviously you are good at it, and I have a feeling you're just gonna get better. ♥

[bop_radar]

Awww, sweetie! You watched it anyway! *bounces* You liked it?! Wheeee!!!

And hey, I saw Little Miss Sunshine last night!!! *squeeeeeeeee* OMG, Olive was SO CUTE! Now all your icons are even more made of win to me! ;-) It was so so funny and adorable--loved it!

[kristiinthedark]

Yes, I did like it! A LOT! :D And of course I watched it. I totally support you in your vidding endeavors. *nods* I'm just so excited by it all! I'm living vicariously!

And YAY for Little Miss Sunshine! Olive is just THE CUTEST EVER. And, god, that dance? And the song? *loves*

[bop_radar]

Oh, you are a good friend! *hugs*

The dance!! Oh, god, I never expected that in a million years! I was trying to imagine what it could possibly be throughout the film, but that trumped all. HA! And Miss California bopping away to it was really cute! And when they all got up on stage?! Cuuuute! I really liked Dwayne too. He was hilarious. Especially when he finally spoke and was so concerned for Olive. Definitely 'for the win'!!

So awesome hon. I don't watch FNL (which is crazy cause I love football and pretty men) but I could definately see how you felt about the character and the song just fit every scene. Yay!

[bop_radar]

I don't watch FNL (which is crazy cause I love football and pretty men)
Hey, yeah, that IS crazy! Why is that?

Thanks for watching anyway and I'm so glad you 'got' it anyway. YAY! She's very expressive.
