The parallels, the music use, effects, the clip choices <3 and everything!! This is really excellent! I'm going to download and watch it some more! Thanks for sharing!
Oh my god - your editing blows me away here! Your use of movement is gorgeous, and the parallels had me gasping. I have to rewatch like a billion times, but right off the bat I loved how you juxtaposed Dean in Hell and Sam strapped down in detox, and old Sam and young Sam being punched. This is so, so beautiful!!
Thank you so much! You're makin' me Aw, shucks over here. :D
I'm particularly pleased that you liked the movement, because I was really trying hard to keep that up as much as I could through the vid.
Those are probably my two of my favorite shots in the vid. For the first, I really wanted to show how essentially we've seen Sam live out Dean's damnation story on Earth and now they are both terribly tainted. (Oh boys!) And the second, well, Dean's condemnation made Sam feel like Sammy. (Oh, Sam!)
Whoooahhhh I'm like literally speechless! I don't even know where to START! The parallels are crazy perfect, and I too was gasping! The movement and just the editing period is out of this world. And I love all the little details, like Sam wiping the mirror and wee!sam with the demon eyes, that was awesome. And the red coloring and WOW. Or a couple of the comparisons to those old magic men, i'm surprised that hasn't turned up more lately. Yeah, every second of this was just spectacular
Oh, my goodness! This comment leaves ME speechless! :D
So glad that the editing felt strong to you (I'm such a basic vidder techniquewise, so that's extra lovely to hear). I love the mirror wipe--I just redid that effect yesterday and I'm glad I did. And the red coloring isn't exactly subtle, but I'm thrilled it worked for you! Also, I loved those old magic guys. Since I didn't have any Old!Dean, it had to be that one guy in that section.
Thanks, rheanna! Yeah, I'm a little afraid I tried to pack too MUCH in, but I figure that "it's all manpain" so hopefully people can parse it. :D :D :D
The Bravery have like four or five songs that could be SPN vids, I swear.
This was FANTASTIC. Like the above commenters, I adored the paralleling you do here, not just internal to each brother's story, but between their stories as well. The way you built them each separately (and separated with the white raven wings was a nice touch) and then drew them together for the last third was really deftly done. This is a really dense vid - in a good way! - and will require re-watching for full impact, but I come out of it kind of breathless and "oh BOYS."
I also love how you make the demons and the angels the evil whispering voices; so appropriate. *g*
Oh, thank you so much! I'm SO HAPPY the structure came through, because I was a bit worried about that. I kept having to remind myself to show Dean during his section! You got it perfectly right, of course. :D
Turns out fandom was right: the demons and the angels ain't so far apart--hissing voices indeed.
