i love it.

i really like that her progression as a character was actually portrayed in your vid. a lot of vids now just splice stuff together from different seasons with no real "concept" i guess. i really like that yours fit the character and how she grew from season one all the way to the end.

the song was an awesome choice too.

great job alice!

Thank you! Those are all great things to hear about it. :)

Oh, Alice. This gave me chills and brought tears to my eyes. Your love for the character shines through in every frame ( ... )

Wow, I am completely and utterly flattered. *blush* :) It's one thing to connect to the vid myself, but something entirely different and immensely satisfying to have someone else feel strongly about it! Thank you for taking the time to write all the specific feedback, it's very cool to read. :)

In terms of the ripping, my school had a set up with an analog-to-digital converter box which connected to a regular DVD player and a Mac. I played the source directly in the DVD player, it went through the converter box, and I used FCP's "capture" feature to pull it straight from the playing DVD. Therefore the clips were directly imported into FCP in mov format, which was very helpful!

Good luck with the vidding, I would love to see what you come up with!

This is Buffy and Buffy and so *many* things that are kickass about the girl and the show. Very nicely done. :)
