LOL Not anytime soon... And I won't bore you again with my praise - Just repeating one phrase: This is for me the ultimate John Winchester vid - You captured him so fucking perfectly!

Ay! Another one swearing on my LJ but then I should've known ;) Your essay on my vid in email was enough to blow my mind there's no need to say any more than that. I wish I could repay the kindness but there's no chance of that especially when you're posting German fanfics and not your Dean vid. *sulks*

Okay, I’m filled with glee reading your comments so far, especially Milly’s. The girl picked up something I missed with your favourite little moment at 1:26. Damn. Oh, where are my manners, little Miss Etiquette, must been my brain being blown and high on your genius.

Anyway, I’m not sure if you want to post the ramblings in the review section of your page, but if so feel free and I still wish I could get that kind of coherency up for the one vid of yours I still come back to and cuddle up in the dark and let my diabolic mind run free. I spare you the porn analogy and how it is hotter and worse for my intellect, because that would conceivably go too far. Even if true. LOL And lets not forget ‘Suicide Note’ but I think this might be come in as a tie in, because you really don’t make it easy to chose a favourite of yours. Aw. *grabs them all*

Haha, did your giant brain miss something? ;)

I will probably post your ramblings on the vid soon. And stop being so damn cryptic which vid are you referring to because I thought you'd pretty much reviewed them all at some point.

I love this vid! Saw in at Winchestercon, and downloaded it as soon as I got home. The song is perfect for John, and I love how both the beat of the song and the pacing of the clips convey John's drive and the relentlessness of his (and then Dean's) mission.

Thank you, Rusalka. I'm glad you loved it so much. It's brilliant that you got the sense of John's relentless drive from the vid because that was exactly what I was aiming for.

Wow hon, talk about impressive. Your editing/effects are so flawless and complex and pretty much beyond my understanding, that I'm sure if I didn't watch the show I would think that is all done by the pro's. I really enjoyed this. I love the song, it went so perfectly for John. This one is my new favourite of yours :) I'm really really really impressed :D

It's your new favourite? Awesome! I wouldn't have thought this was your sort of thing so it's doubly awesome. :D It really proved a much more arduous editing job than I was expecting so at least I know it was worth it. Thanks Hun!

Beautiful work! It's a vid that I can watch over and over again. It's pretty and emotional and captures John's journey perfectly. Love it! I'll definitely rec your vid to my friends.

Hiya, stabbim. Yes! Rec away, tell everyone. :D I'm so pleased you feel it's worthy of repeat viewings.

Your vid really impressed me. You see, I'm not exactly the biggest fan of John Winchester. I get that John raised his kids the best he could under the circumstances, but he made a lot of mistakes in the process, so I'm not too keen on seeing him celebrated as a "great" father because he wasn't, IMHO. Dean was more of a father to Sam than John was. And Dean never really felt like he had a father or he woudn't be so desperate for his dad's approval ( ... )

Yeah, I don't feel the vid celebrates John as such. I do love him but I think his flaws are very much present in the vid. That single-minded determination has consequences for everyone. I think he loved his sons but I also think that he was so destroyed in the moment that he lost his wife that he could never quite get past that as a father. I hope some of that is visible in the vid.

I have no real plans for further SPN vids in the near future. But you never know when inspiration will strike.
