My betas, deserve more than just thanks for this vid. obsessive24 deserves all of the credit for anything that works and none of the blame for anything that doesn't. And the vid likely

WOW. This is so freaking cool. You have an amazing ability to take a show that seems boring to vid and make it look visually beautiful and meaningful using all the POTW type shots and motion. And man this song really is so House. I love the medical cases feeding House's eyes keeping him occupied in his box, the chorus line with his eyes overlooking the white board with all the medical jargon was particularly stunning. And I didn't catch the pov shift the first time but looking at the lyrics it makes so much sense and the whole House turning the ducklings (and Cuddy and Wilson) into him is awesome. I really, really love this vid and I love that it's the kind of vid I can watch over and over again. Thanks for making and struggling past the vid hardships!

Really? :) That's cool! It seemed to me the most difficult thing was *cutting down* the number of cool shots and keeping my focus narrow and on-track. House has such insane camerawork and lush photography. Does tend to get talky at times, though.

Man, I am SO relieved that lyric tie came through.

In a bigger sense it's a relief to see how it came through to you as a whole. Schnikes there was so much angst on my end.

I really appreciate you watching it and taking the time to tell me how much you enjoyed it. It means a lot.

Wow this was one hell of a ride. I'm not familar with the show so I probably didn't get everything you tried to express but you managed to create a special atmosphere with some kind of "urgency" for lack of a better word. Your musicality is top notch as usual and your lyrics use is brilliant. Fantastic work my friend.

That's high praise coming from you. I feel like I could say that about any of your vids.

Your reaction is *very* flattering, especially since you don't know the source. Hey, I'm flattered you even took time to watch it, considering.

shove my nose in shit

Holy shit. Best reason to wake up today. Wow. It all seems like a fucked up game where House turns everyone into his pawn, toys, and children

Whitney, you totally made *my* day with this. Frak. Seeing how it came through for you? So reassuring. Also, it's awesome that for just a *moment* I can see me through your eyes. I want that me.

made it even more fucked up than it was originally intended to be
I don't know, it was pretty fucked up to start with. I think it's just that it doesn't look fucked up until you look back on it. So I guess I just made the f'd-upness a little more obvious. Which is *always* a great goal in life.

The beat of the flexing uterus (weirdest phrase I've ever typed for feedback)
Ha! And who would have thought you'd use that phrase in feedback about one of *my* vids? :P

Dang, way to make a chess game look action filled
See, that was just thrown onto the timeline pretty much unedited. There's so much intense imagery in this show, and so much rich symbolism to be found.

I laughed because House believes that he's saving them
Heh. Glad the sarcasm came through there. I thought it was pretty subtle. :)

Foreman's face scrunch is used perfectlyThanks! I

This vid made my day. I even made my stepdad watch it. PS. He thinks is cool too

BRAD is king of the flexing uteruses
Do I get a tshirt?

Basically, I'll know if I'm going to VVC09 when I find out how much insurance is going to cover
Oh man that sounds horrible. I hope your insurance is better than mine!

By the way, I'm digging on the remix you sent me. VERY different.

*I made up that word because it rhymes
As a former rapper, I think I can safely say mission accomplished.

This vid = a world of Yes. The juxtaposition between House's agenda (dare I call it...his good intentions?) as you've presented it here--making better doctors out of his team and friends by making them more like him--and the emotional horror of the results of his success is just *so* well-done. I love the use of toy/game/lab rat imagery throughout, and the visual echoes once the team starts taking on House's diagnostic behaviour (ex. Cuddy with the ball/House and his cane) are *excellent*.

Yay, House vid!

[bradcpu]

WOW!

I really can't tell you how much it means to me to see how well all of these themes came through. Honestly? You summed up the meaning and flow of the vid a hell of a lot better than I could. Which... well, it makes me feel like I'm speaking the same language as everyone else. Which is so incredibly cathartic right now.

Thank you SO much.

I really cannot wait to watch this! If only my internet connection would roll over so I could download more tonight! *impatient*

[bradcpu]

Augh! See, now there are expectations and pressure! BOO!

[wistful_fever]

Oh, you like it, stop! I really wish I hadn't spent so much of my packets on uploading stuff tonight. I have a cap of 350 megs. SUCKS.

I'm so psyched to see another House vid from you, you have no idea.

[bradcpu]

Stop! Stop with the pressure! *cowers*
