I really enjoyed this video! Thanks for sharing. My favourite part is around 1:07 with the reaver rearing up just as the vocals scale a peak, that was wonderfully done, and I loved your cutting (as usual!).
You ought to edit your post to include the lyrics. I liked having them to read before I watched.
Good changes. What a great River-face you found for the end. I keep noticing new clever bits elsewhere, and recalling the context of other shots and being startled and amazed ... River shedding her coat ... what the Operative's talking about when he gives that smug little smile on the viewscreen. This repays my close attention.
Good point. After vidding a song it gets to the point where you'll be muttering the lyrics long after you've forgotten your own name. Other people not so much.
I was really happy with the River-face, you were right it did need to end with them facing each other. Plus in that clip her skin tone is almost the same as the Reaver's, a gift from Joss! I think here's luck said somewhere about Serenity being visually so dense it's a joy to vid, there's something to use in almost every shot.
That middle part with the viewscreen-coat shedding is kind of the turning point, the last time the Operative is completely sure of his beliefs. I wanted to match shots of him and River, both face to camera but she's real and a little battered where he's a smug shiny hologram.
