That was great, definitely one of my favorites of the vidshow. I thought it actually had the best narrative of all and I could really follow the story you were telling without actually knowing anything about the source (always the sign of a strong vid). I'll leave you more comments once I've had the time to see it again :D

Looking at the playlist it was up against some strong contenders particularly "Scarlet ribbons" - love that vid! To be considered one of the best is high praise indeed. I'd love to hear more of your thoughts. Yay vidz.

I was really moved by this vid. I'm impressed by your storytelling and your ability to convey emotion. Very deep and powerful.

Narrative in vids is something I particularly value its such a crucial element of vids for me. So it's particularly pleasing for you to say that it had that as well as emotional impact. Many thanks.

I didn't know anything about the book/show before watching the vid (I've read a recap on wikipedia since then), so the way the story shone through was impressive. Beautiful work.

Thanks for telling me you enjoyed the vid. I can definitely recommend the book Sarah Waters is one of the best writers in the historical genre. The TV adaptation is pretty faithful.

That really captured the emotion and complexity of the source material. A beautiful piece of editing.

And on an unrelated note, I love your mood graphic.

As I said in my write-up, I found the complexity of the narrative quite difficult to convey, to hear that I *did* capture it for yourself and for others is a huge relief.

The mood graphic is awesome, isn't it?! cowboyhd made it.

This is the perfect video for a superb film based off of a great book. Other than that, I have no words; I am speechless.

I love both the book and the film and I just wanted to do it justice.

Many thanks for viewing and telling me you enjoyed it.
