There’s no air, no air

My friend plays this song constantly in the car.

Great beats at :26. It's nice to see a recent vid with Nine and Ten both as the Doctor. Nice interplay of the splitscreens.

Thank you.

It's a really catchy song.

I like being able to include Nine when it's appropriate for the vid -- he's still the Doctor, after all. But I always feel like I need to include the regeneration in the vid when I do that, so it doesn't always work out to have him there. I'm glad that it did this time.

Nice interplay of the splitscreens.

I'm pleased that they worked for you.

When I sent you this song, I thought it fit the scene in Doomsday beautifully, but had my doubts about it sustaining a whole video. I should have known you could pull it off, and you've done so brilliantly! I love the split screens -- that's what makes it work.

I now have to go watch this 50 times in a row. Thank you so much, you've made my entire week!

I'm so glad that you liked it! I really have totally fallen in love with Jordin Sparks' work since then, so I definitely appreciated the introduction to her.

Oh, this was gorgeous. I was so excited when I saw your post, because I LOVE your vids, especially the songs you choose (and I'd actually heard this song and liked it, I like Jordin Sparks), and this was no exception. I think the split screen really worked well, especially quite near the end where one side of the screen goes dark so the viewer can focus on one character at a time. Awesome job. :-D

I'm so glad that the split screens worked for you. I was quite nervous about those to start off with (though recently, more split screen stuff has been popping up -- I think it's coming back into style).

Oh that's really haunting and lovely.

Thank you!

This was really beautiful. I loved the split screen style, and loved the mask-type thing you did at 1:36. Very awesome work!

Thank you.

I'm so glad that both of those worked for you. I wanted something with a little extra lift during that section of the song and worked around for quite some time to find something that looking right with the voice.
