37 - :52 You send me to a broken state. I don't even know these characters and I just feel like I could cry every time I see this.
I love how this effected you just from Spike's reactions in the clips without your really
understanding fully what was going on...that just makes me happy no end. We do enjoy seeing our favorite men spilling over like this! Thank you so much for your beautiful comments on this sequence.
1:42: Love this use of imagery here, with Buffy looking away from Spike and then that closing door right on him. Gorgeous representation of Buffy shutting him out (at least that's my guess/interpretation, I don't know if that's what's actually going on there lol).
Wow, so amazing that you mention this closing door clip. It is indeed from another scene where Buffy is literally shutting him out of her home..letting him know he is no longer, 'invited'. So it's a pretty signifigant moment and I am glad this glimpse of it seems to work with the other scene of Buffy turning her face away.
2:08 I don't know why but I just really love the look of Buffy walking through a graveyard overlaid with them together in an intimate moment. Maybe it's just the blend, but it looks really awesome.
I'm thrilled you like this for it is one of my favorite parts of the vid too. :) :)
3:15 I hadn't noticed this before (I'm a dork) but I really love what you did here in
regards to the jacket. Here he's without it and huddled in a corner looking vulnerable and lost without his armor. And that ties in wonderfully when he pulls it back on at 3:57. Lovely connection. I love internal vid connections! \o/
First of all, you are sooo not a dork. Secondly, huge hugs or mentioning this connection. Coming up with the ending to the vid just about killed me so when I the idea for using the clip of him putting his coat back on came to me..and I saw that it was what I needed to connect the ending with the rest of the vid, whew...I can't describe what it meant. I'm sooooo glad you enjoyed the connection between the two coat scenes. It is very meaningful when he puts his 'armor', it gives him his mojo back..so he can be strong again..and help Buffy.
3:39: Really love the intercutting of images with Spike's ear/eye shot for this lyric You'll be the voice in my head. Very awesome editing there and a perfect match!
Bless you to bits for liking this! It was the very last hole I had to fill..I knew what I wanted for the lyric, just hadn't been able to get it on the timeline. I had that clip of Spike's eye/ear hanging about but not specifically for that scene, but decided to try it and a few quick clips and a happy accident later....there was the sequence. I was kinda happy with the way it turned out cause it also feels like he's trying to keep a grip on the real buffy's voice amidst bits the 'evil non-buffy' he's been seeing/hearing too. Anyway, I was very excited you called the editing of it awesome!
You can't know how much it meant having your cheerleader self keeping me positive through this vid process even though you didn't know what I was on about half the time. You didn't have to leave a review at all let alone one as full and lovely as this....but I ate up every morsel of it and I thank you over and over. {{{{{{HRS}}}}}}
