*sobs and sobs and sobs* I know comments like that always sound like exaggeration. But ... if you were here you could touch my tears. I started crying ten seconds in and didn't stop and was left gasping at the end. The unexpected coda really worked for me emotionally because I kept thinking it was over and then there was more--and that's kind of fitting given that Kara's abuse cycles keep on coming. That look she gives Cain! And oh the way she shakes herself awake in horror! Waaahhhh

Hmm. Not to me. And not from you.

I can touch your tears... I have no words. *hugs... and hugs and hugs some more* Can you imagine me vidding it? The last three weeks were a nightmare of a sort. I had to go through this story over and over again, and it didn't get any easier. Every second beat of this vid was like a scorching hook through my heart. I could say that's I'm sorry it made you feel this way, but I'm not: I think we need this for now.

I'm not: I think we need this for now. WE DO. Badly. The show never showed the full horror inherent in this story properly, it treated it as a trivial sensationalist gimmick and they weren't true to the content of that story in that stupid 'reconciliation' in Maelstrom... well you know how I feel about it.
You know how it scares me that I might mess up... And I'm so excited for you and proud of you that you took this plunge with it! If I didn't know, I wouldn't see your anxiety in this vid because you handle it all so well--your perfectionism pays off!
I shudder to think what this must have taken for you to vid it though. Considering you wrote to me only a few days ago saying you felt unsure if you wanted to show it to anyone, you've managed to push through those emotions very fast!! In some ways maybe that's the only way to do it, push through the storm? Living with this for too long would be... ::shudders::
That little triumph shot is very much connected to that.The shot of the car pulling out of the driveway really gets to me

I love your editing SO MUCH. It's so fluid and so intuitive and you built these little beats between beats of the music, and you integrate still moments so well.
Thank you! I'm a perfectionist, I do everything I can where vidding's concerned. Well, except for figuring out how to make the image quality better.
The last time I was this affected by anything was after reading the first book of Chaos Walking. Ironically I read it at the hairdressers too!
Oh, I've never read it. You think I should try? I usually cry in public transport at the most inconvenient of moments. That can get really embarrassing for me.
Thanks a lot for letting me know that you watched! I didn't realise I was holding my breath until I got your comment. *hugs*
except for figuring out how to make the image quality better. We can work on that! If *I* can work it out, you TOTALLY can!
You think I should try? Um, maybe? It is a young adult series by Patrick Ness. I think it is one of the best written pieces of fiction I've read in any genre in the last couple of years--the ideas are very original. I've recommended it to several people--no one seems to like it *quite* as much as me, but most people appreciate the writing at least. ;) The third book was a bit of a let down for me, but it's a little bit BSG-esque (when BSG was still good!) in being sci fi and raising a lot of moral and political questions about human behaviour.
I cry everywhere/anywhere too. It's not as bad as when I was younger and actually depressed (I'd cry about 8 hours a day--hee!) but spontaneous tears still can take me by surprise at times.
