Oh, Cas! *cries* I didn't think I was overwhelmingly attached to Cas until I saw your vid. Now I really miss him and want him to come back somehow even more than before.
I liked how you ended the vid with his broken-up image on the TV screen--it made it feel like a final goodbye to Dean beyond wherever he went after he disappeared in 7x01. It was hopeful and heartbreaking at the same time.
Thank you! I have to admit to feeling like I wasn't overally attached to Cas either. But now that 's "gone" (because I'm sure he's not really...) looking back I can see how much I did enjoy his presence in the show.
The last bit is certainly open to interpretation. In the Show it was Cas reaching out to Dean the only way he knew how. So I felt it was a fitting way to end. (And maybe just a little hopeful that he is still out there somewhere..;)
Well, this comment's going to be woefully inadequate, but THANK YOU. ♥ Oh, Cas. :( This vid is sad, but also uplifting, and you shook out the whole character, looked at his multi-season struggle, his friendship with Sam and Dean, as well as when he went off the rails, and back on the rails, and it's a complex mix that reflects this character beautifully. That you captured the good things as well as the ways he screwed up but that ultimately his story was driven by friendship-love-trying to do the right thing. The editing and the build of it and the music being JUST SO, wow. And The way you used the folding of the coat and kept returning to that.
It feels hopeful too--that you had Cas communicating to Dean on the TV screen at the end, it feels like your wink-nudge hey, he's not GONE. Or maybe it's how he'll never be gone for Sam and Dean, and for the Castiel fans.
I needed this vid right now, given everything and I'm so moved that our conversation contributed to inspiring you to make this. *hugs*
This vid started as a rather simple idea and then kinda grew into trying to look a little more closely at his character. The both times I have vidded Cas I'm struck with the complexity of his character. And in many ways he should be complex because he's an angel. And meeting and knowing the Winchesters would indeed make your life...er... complex.
I suppose I really wanted to show a little bit of everything. The way he touched the boys - both physically and mentally, his soldier like fighting, his sacrifices and mistakes.
it feels like your wink-nudge hey, he's not GONE.
Hee! Exactly. It's open to interpretation, but my thinking was that he's not gone. He's out in the ether somewhere.... :)
I'm glad it moved you sweetie. I was hoping that it wasn't tooo depressing. I wanted a mix of hope and sorrow.
