Yay! Now everyone can share in the love of this awesome vid! *hugs you again for making it*

[bop_radar]

YOU ROCK, OMG!!!!!!!!!

[miss_tress]

I've watched it at least once a week since she finished! It makes me so happy!

[bop_radar]

It's the best thing EVA! I don't want to go to work. I just want to watch it! *whimpers* I knew it would be good, I've waited so long to see it, but it also has a very 'you' feeling about it. Genius idea! Clark SO NEEDED this vid.

I love how you can add subtlety to a song/show combo that in a hands of a lesser vidder would come off as, well, upbeat but ultimately shallow. <3'ed it! :D

[talitha78]

Thank you! Actually, I found it quite easy to avoid shallowness with this song because when you really listen to it, you notice that the lyrics are not particularly happy or upbeat. There's a lot of anger here.

I'm glad you said it - the tune is upbeat but the lyrics are down right bitter, which happens to work brilliantly for this vid. Again, you really dis an amazing job picking up and cashing in on how well this particular song works for Clark's story.

[talitha78]

the lyrics are down right bitter

Yes. It was such a surprise to me when I actually sat down to listen to it how much it is *not* a fluffy, happy pop song.

Amazing job!! Well done!

[talitha78]

Thank you so much!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bop_radar]

I broke! I couldn't wait any longer... I'm meant to be working but I decided if I could download it in the time it took to eat my porridge I got to watch it. :) And then I caved further and watched the YouTube.

OMFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFG!

DEAR MOTHERFUCKING GOD, that is EPIC! *blinks* It's totally your MASTERWORK

*cracks the fuck up* You are priceless! I'm glad the vid was worth the breaking of your work-imposed vid fast. :)

Clark, Clark, Clark *tripping out on his face*

Yes!!! My alternate title for this vid is "Clark Kent: Eight Seasons of Face Porn".

the MAGICAL and surprising ending

Ah, so glad that worked. That last clip was just a gift from the universe.

the BOOKS! you USED the BOOKS

How could I not? I love, love, love Clark the bookworm.

the restraint with which you used Lex

It actually wasn't that hard. I knew miss_tress wanted a Clark Kent vid, not a Clex vid, so I put all shippiness aside. I wanted the focus to be all Clark, all the time. That's the great thing about doing a vid to order. It forces you to approach a vid from someone else's perspective.

The world feels more complete now

Oh, wow. Thank you. *hugs*

That was so much fun! I loved the titles of the stuff he was reading - that was hilarious. And, glad I was able to help!

Hee. Thanks. Clark and his self-help books were comic gold. :)

glad I was able to help
Thank you again! I couldn't have done it without you.
