It's your birthday but it feels like a gift to me--I love The Shawshank Redemption so I'm ecstatic you've made a fanvid for it! And as per usual it's turned out absolutely fantastic.

Happy birthday, hon and many returns!

Thank you!

Well it's actually a gift to myself (but I'm not greedy ;)) and a long one coming at that! I love this movie hugely and I've wanted to vid it for years now I was just waiting on the right song. Even then it's taken a good 12 months before getting around to it. Worth the wait though.

That was so fantastic and I absolutely love the scene transitions you had with the book and the building wall. And I really liked the intro, the slow shots and then the way it sped up as the beat picked up.

Fantastic vid!! I'd never heard the song before, and I *love* how you used it. I want to say something more profound, because the vid deserves it, but mostly I just want to go watch it again!

Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Thank you!!

I came across this song about 12 months ago and instantly fell in love with it - Kid Beyond is such a *fantastic* beatboxer. All his music is inspired. laurashapiro awesomely vidded " Mothership" last August for Doctor Who, if you want to check out any of his other music.

Fabulous video, gave me chills down my arm just like the way the movie makes me feel. The slow-unwinding path through the friendships, the persecution, to the freedom - it was all very nicely done :). Also, kid beyond!! :D
[And happy birthday :)]

Thank you very much for commenting and for the Birthday wishes. Shawshank is one of my favourite films so it was particularly important to me that this vid do justice to the power of the movie. I'm so glad that you feel I achieved that.
