Very sweet video.I loved the clips choosen for the song. I also loved how it showed through all the pain of trying to find her mom.Veronica fell in love and found true happiness.Awesome video.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked the premise. It was definitely an emotional song, but not overly so... So I wanted to bring that aspect of it into the vid. I'm happy it worked for you!

It was very good! I liked how you used clips that had a lot of emotion in it.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I wanted to show both sides of what Veronica was going through...the desperation and hope of finding her mom and the lightness and happiness of being with Logan...the clips kind of matched themselves with the song.

This song has just the right tone for Veronica's search for Lianne. I liked it.

Yay, I'm so happy you liked it. This song was requested as a LoVe vid, but I've been getting tired of just doing plain old LoVe vids and have been trying to broaden my horizons. It took me forever to get hold of an angle for this song, but once I thought of the Lianna/Veronica thing, it was cake lol.

Aw, I liked it a lot. I'd never heard that song and was unsure about it when it started but it grew on me through the video. You matched the clips to the music really well and I liked the Lianne aspect so it wasn't just LoVe (as much as I like the LoVe). Really good!

Thanks! I know what you mean about being a little unsure about the song. It took me a couple of times of listening to it to really appreciate it. It's melodic lyrics and simplisity of the song really pulls you in. I'm glad you liked the Lianne aspect. I wasn't sure how that would be recieved, like whether people would see it as completely random for a LoVe vid, but I wanted to draw more on V, so the vid wasn't completely LoVe centric. As much as I love the LoVe, doing the same vid over and over again can get pretty tired.

OMG, I totally loved this!! I had never heard the song before, but the lyrics really fit the message of the video. It really just struck a chord with me about how Veronica had so many highs and lows over the year and how she probably didn't know which way was up most of the time. You did an excellent job with this. Well, you always do an excellent job with your vids, but this was an exceptionally excellent job!! Gee, do you think I liked it... ;)

Ohhh....thanks so much! You're way too sweet. I'm so glad you liked it. The song really grew on me as I made the vid, and I'm happy I decided to go the Lianne angle along with LoVe. It gives the vid that extra layer that I think really enhances the message of the song.

It absolutely enhances the message of the song. I don't think it would have been nearly as powerful without it. I just think it was a great contrast of emotion.

By the way, I just saw your PM on the other board and answered. I've never gotten a PM and didn't think to look. So sorry. :(

diamondrocker August 16 2005, 05:39:49 UTC

LOL. Not a problem. I think the first time I noticed I had a PM and actually checked it, the thing had been sitting there for over a week lol. I felt like such a dork, But I love getting PM's...just to look up to the corner and see that you have a message makes me all giddy lol.

It's the little things *shrug*
