Oooh! I like! You already know what I think of the whole vid, but I must say I like the color changes here and there. They're really subtle, but they really work. I'm glad you could do something with that.

*applause*

I'm going to go over and rec it my journal now. :)

Thank you! I'm glad that you like the changes.

Thanks for the rec!

Hi!! I loved the vid!!! It's beautiful :))

Thank you! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed the vid.

I thought this was lovely. I've seen just a small amount of the show, and the vids I've seen so far weren't about their relationship. That said, this was like being told a story for the first time, with all the anticipation that only the first reading can bring. In fact, I'd love to hear about your color work on it too at some point if you ever feel like writing notes about the vid. :)

That's lovely to hear.

I keep hoping to get around to writing notes on all my vids. I plan to finish up remastering my vids for dvd by Thanksgiving (which is very close to my birthday) and I want to have brief notes to go along with them, as well as longer ones on my website.

The color on this one was fun to do, trying to figure out how I wanted it all to look and how far I could push it.

Hi! deathisyourart recommended your vid to me when I moaned that I hadn't seen any Season 1-safe vids except for "Ragged Ass Road." I adored your vid. I love the song, it's perfect for how Sarah feels about her relationship with Michael. And I really like the repeated hand/arm motif, the way you focus on that, and that moment where she rolls her sleeve up for the needle and he rolls his down to hide his tattoo is amazing!

Hi! Thank you for your comment. Sorry for the lateness of my reply!

Ragged Ass Road is actually the reason that I go into Prison Break in the first place. I saw it at VividCon, wanted to know more, bought the first season, and made this vid. RAR is such a good vid.

I adored your vid. I love the song, it's perfect for how Sarah feels about her relationship with Michael.

Thank you so much! I really love all the very richly-made characters that the show has -- Sarah is such a wonderful and strong character.

And I really like the repeated hand/arm motif, the way you focus on that, and that moment where she rolls her sleeve up for the needle and he rolls his down to hide his tattoo is amazing!

There's a lot of hand/arm imagery with the two of them. Hidden things, right out in the open. I'm so glad that that part of the vid worked for you.

Again, thank you so much for the feedback.

I know I commented a long time ago before in another post, but I've been rewatching this the last few days. I really, really love this video. I love your take on Sara in season one. She lets Michael lie to her and lies to herself, and after I watch this, I just want to say: OH SARA, I LOVE YOU.

Btw, I love the moment at 2:16 when he rolls down his sleeve and she rolls hers up.
