WOW! you all rock!! what a great combination of the written word and the moving visual! and the music was the big shiny bow that tied it all together!

Oh, thank you so much, from both of us! :)

Wow, I love this! I love everything that's *not* being said as much as being said, and all the great silences that are filled with unsaid words and thoughts and images. What a great combination for this challenge - and it's SO great to see the ideas become visuals in the vid. BRAVA, LADIES!!! SO AWESOME!

Thank you best Cates! ♥

This was wonderful. The video and how vividly you rendered their conversation (I loved Rodney's word's pushing John out of the picture and John nudging them back) and the spaces between their words and listening to John breathe and all the things they're not saying.

So lovely.

Eeeeee I love that part TOO. Bing did such cool stuff!!

You know, Moses & co. had to wander in the desert for 40 years before they found their way home; our guys are getting off comparatively lightly, time-wise. How long where they stuck on earth? Maybe a few months?

But still, my pore, wee, depressed woobies didn't know they were going home eventually! It makes me want to watch the 2-parter again to cheer them on as they totally finesse the SGC and escape to Pegasus.

I can't wait to see the vid! I'll comment over there.

Such woobies!! Yes, I could only leave them unhappy because I KNEW it would all be better soon. ;)

This is just so achingly sad, with the slow plonking of the piano and the way Rodney's words are flowing all over themselves, until John interrupts. I really really like the way the speed and talking over each other plays out in the video, and how the unspoken images are portrayed there. Lovely collaboration.

Thank you so much--I think it really was a true collaboration, and I'm glad that comes through!
