Thanks! There were a few clips I thought of using for the final shot, but I decided to stick with tradition in the end...

Love it - and the last shot is truly inspired!

stormwreath November 15 2007, 16:00:27 UTC

Thanks!

(Not only inspired, but heavily Photoshopped. :-) )

Well I'm glad you did, because yours is definitely better! (And I don't just mean that I *like* yours better, or that it benefits from using material from the Faith-arc too - just technically it's far more impressive and looks much more like the 'real' thing. In as much as anything can of course.)

The featured actors are Sarah
And that is where my major disagreement pops up (seriously, I kinda sporfled when I saw the name next to the image of comic!Buffy), but since no one knows *who* plays comic!Buffy I guess I'll have to let it slide...

you'll notice that the final clip of the credits sticks with tradition, in that it's a picture of a fake!Buffy standing there looking defiant. :-)
I noticed, and I liked very much! *applauds*

*Preens*
I did actually first write "I wanted to do it better" rather than "do it differently" in my post, but then decided to err on the side of modesty. :-)

I can believe it... But I wasn't sure what else to do, unless I just put the characters' names rather than the actors in the credits?

I noticed
Before reading my notes? That's impressive! :-)

Oh I can definitely appreciate the problem!

I think we've discussed 'Buffy not being Buffy' often enough to notice such things automatically. *g*

Anyway, congratulations on a job well done. (Now I just wish I *liked* the darn comics...)
