EeeeeeeeeEeeeeeEeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Man, that was fantabulous! I loved the parallels especially and some of the clip-to-lyric choices were all kinds of inspired. And you keep the energy going all through and even made is build at the end and wow I'm stopping now before the flail overfloweth. Beautifully done.

Thank you LD! I'm glad you liked it. Going into the project I thought it would be a doddle but no! multi-fandom vidding is haaaard.

I just saw your rec too! Hee! It's a big compliment seeing as you don't do it that often.

Awesome, my dear, absolutely amazing. Not that I am the least surprised. :-) The blue border was very smart! And Bobby as the cute one who is usually gay made me laugh out loud. But most of all, just a wonderfully conceived and realized celebration of why we love them all.

Thanks Killa!

It's always great to get a compliment from you.

The blue border served to give it a comic book touch and more importantly disguised the fact that all the films were slightly different sizes! Definitely a case of making a virtue out of necessity.

Bobby is just soo gay. *g*

Holy Cow, that's good. Nay, great even. Perfect song choice, genius structure and the way you've got visual tropes flowing between all the different sources is beautiful. And just when I think it can't get any better, it does, with a shiveringly good climax.

Brava!

Thanks!

It was a fun vid to make in a masochistic, swearing at the screen sort of way. I don't think I've ever been so glad to finish a vid in my life. :D

I hyperventilate even thinking about how much work this must have been.

charmax December 23 2006, 03:44:28 UTC

Yes - the ripping, clipping, resizing the different aspect ratios, the masking, premiere deciding to complain about every frame towards the end, just to name a few. It's all fun. :D

Some of it was a real pain but I think it's all worth it. I am getting some great feedback!
