Thanks to voiceless009, revbiscuit, justqueenie, and especially keerawa for beta help. Any remaining strangeness is a result of my own laziness and poor judgement ( Read more... )

Wow, this is a great vid. I'd never heard this song before, but it totally works with what you're trying to show, Ray's frustration at the dynamic of their relationship. Though, it's got a happy ending, at least in my mind. Ray finally gets the right push and he and Fraser do ride off into the sunset together. Fraser might be standing at the back of the sled, but it's Ray who's got the real balance. Great work. I really enjoyed it.

Yay for writing your own happy ending! Glad you enjoyed. ^_^

Wow! Normally I don't take the time to check out a lot of DS vids, but you had me curious.

I really like the speed and intensity you put into it, and I noticed all of the little details too - like the gradual closeups, black and white, etc. Great job :)

Sorry, forgot to login! That's me above.

Oh, I'm glad the effects translated to "speed and intensity," not "bizarre and headache-inducing"! Thanks for commenting!

Hee, thanks for the rec! I'm glad you liked it so much. #^_^#

This is great. I'll have to go back and rewatch a few times to get the details, but yeah. It's really a good showcase of Ray's frustration. And he's right, because Fraser does manage to get people to do what he wants them to without his ever having to actually ask. I love him to bits, but he's a passive-aggressive little bastard, isn't he? *g*

he's a passive-aggressive little bastard, isn't he?

He *is*, and it's worse because he's all ninja about it and most people don't even realize they've been had. Hmm or is that better? But I don't think he's quiiite as bad as Ray makes him out to be, and in any case, Dief can give the attitude right back to him when Fraser gets too uppity.

I think he comes by the passive-aggressive stuff honestly. I doubt that neither his father nor his grandparents would have put up with anything resembling open defiance, so Fraser would have had to develop really good stealth skills early on. And it doesn't make him a bad person--he's a very, very good person, often to a fault. It's a coping skill, is all. I still think Fraser would have ended up a lot different if his mother had lived.

Very nice! I second primroseburrows's comment on showcasing Ray's frustration. (And I'd completely forgotten that this song existed - I was surprised when the vid started and I recognized the music :p)

fenlings May 23 2007, 05:45:06 UTC

Yeah I like this song okay, but I don't love it, and I definitely don't really love the story I'm telling with it, but the song and the story go together so well, I just couldn't *not* stitch them together, you know?
