Oh hell. I don't even do Buffy but I'm going to have to watch this vid because it's VAST :D

*runs off to DL*

My love of Vast is all your fault, you know. ;)

Hope you like the vid.

I am not sorry! I'm not!

Hope you like the vid.

Oh, I did! This was great. It makes me want to go back and watch Buffy and Angel from the beginning rather than just doing the sort of casual watch I did when it was on as a first run. You know that I love this song and I've mentioned that I've wanted to see it vidded :D It looks like Spike's story was the perfect choice!

Gorgeous work as always.

Thanks, Larissa. I'm glad that you enjoyed it. I couldn't help but make this video for Spike.. it's amazing how much he gets beaten up and pushed away throughout. I do love my heroes tortured. Anyway, both Buffy and Angel are amazing shows, IMO, having just watched them both recently due to the wonders of the internet. :)

Thanks for commenting.

Hey there, you are FAST! You made my head spin last night when you posted, and this isn't even your fandom! Thank you for the fantastic comments! Poor Spike, indeed!

It emphasized to me how he wasn't just getting beat up physically but emotionally as well, sort as like a physical representation to how he feels inside. Maybe?

That sounds pretty accurate, and what I was going for.

I have to open up the video now to see what timestamps you are talking about.

I am so glad you liked it, kuwdora! Thank you for the nice comments about the cuts (yay, they're precise!) and flashback scenes and angst. And the *flails* make me smile! :)

Thank you for the nice comments. I'm glad you liked it. Spike is amazing.

Wow, beaten up Spike never looked so pretty. Great editing with the action sequences and I love the quick blurry clips that are like glimpses into his state of mind. I'm a little in awe of your transitions they flow so well without slowing things down.

I couldn't agree more. Spike is so pretty when he's hurt.

Thank you for the nice comments! I'm glad you mentioned the quick blurry clips as being glimpses into his state of mind. That's pretty much the perfect way of putting it, because in the first set he's proud of it all and in the second set he's tortured by it. I'm really glad you liked this as a whole, and thanks for the comments. :)
