Brad, this is beautiful! There's something special about vidding things that are this close to your heart, and your love shines through it.

[bradcpu]

I tried to take a lesson from you about vidding subjects close to your heart. :) Really glad you liked this.

[bradcpu]

Thanks, you! That really means a lot to me.

I love RL vids - this was beautiful, very well executed, and a perfect song choice...

[bradcpu]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate you saying so.

Cubbies!

I come from a long line of Cubs fans. I think I would be excommunicated from my family if I didn't wave the flag. I love this so much; it clearly explains what we're in it for, and it does it with such heart and a delicate touch.

I can't wait to share this with my dad.

Really? That's wonderful, as are your comments about how the vid came across to you. I can't wait to share the vid with my son. :)

It's always been really tough for me to explain Cubs love in words.

[laurashapiro]

Dude, there ARE no words. It takes identification with the underdog to whole new levels.

So my father really enjoyed this. He was naming all the players as they appeared onscreen, and he liked it enough that he asked me to download it to his computer so he could watch it whenever he wants.

My sister, who bought her first kid a Cubs onesie, liked it a lot, too.

Awww! This didn't just have feels, this *gave* me feels about Cubs feels. Layers of feels! The song really worked, the shots of the statue and the stadium, how you showed some really strong emotional arcs, really cool to watch.

[bradcpu]

Oh, thank you so much! And thanks so much for the encouragement while I was working on it! It's wonderful to know that the emotional arc worked so well for you. That process of communication is really what vidding's all about, at least to me, so it means so much to read that.
