Gets an A+ from me. Great job!

Thank you! ;)

I liked this very much. You did a great job matching the pacing of the story to music's arc.

Thanks! That was what I was trying for - glad it actually came through. I'd never used iMovie before, so I was learning the program along with learning how to edit. Brain overload! ;)

That was really, really lovely. The song is utterly perfect, and beautifully illustrates the tragedy of their relationship. Truly excellent for a first vid! I'd love to download it, if possible... *looks hopeful*

Aww, thanks!

If you're going to download it, I'd suggest doing it from my website rather than YouTube. The quality of that gigantic file is much better, and if you have QuickTime Pro you can play it fullscreen without much appreciable loss in quality because iMovie files are HD by default. Yay, iMovie! ;)

PS. If you're going to post it somewhere, give me credit plz.

But actually, that seems like it would be a waste of bandwidth when you could just link people to my website instead! ;)

Oh no, I'd just like to watch it on my desktop! :)

And I'll probably pimp it - it really is a lovely vid.

Wow, this is quite spectacular. The lyric/clip matching is top notch and I really love the story you tell with the video. Great job!

Thanks. I was disappointed that I wasn't able to use some of the other really compelling scenes from those eps, but I was trying to tell a coherent story so I had to pick and choose. If I make another one sometime down the road, I might have to use a longer song! ;)
