Ahhh, so great! I love the editing choice you made, hitting those cruelly humorous and touching notes at exactly the right times. Wonderful work! And oh NPH. How so perfect?

[blithesea]

Thank you! And I agree, there is no limit to the wonder that is NPH! <3

OMG, how precious! I love this. It's difficult to make a Dr. Horrible vid because there's only 40 minutes worth of footage, but to make one using an old-fashioned love song like this was nearly impossible, at least, I thought. You proved me wrong. The song selection was perfect and I LOVE LOVE LOVE how you used internal movement of the clips to hit the beats - funny and yet sweet/bittersweet at the same time. Great work!

[blithesea]

Thank you! I agonised over the song choice quite awhile, I'm glad it worked out this well! The old-fashioned song felt fitting to Dr Horrible's worldview somehow. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

This was such a unique take on this source! Parts of it were really lovely and other parts were kind of twistedly funny, and it's amazing how much you were able to do with such little source. Wonderful job!

[blithesea]

Thank you! Having only 45 minutes to draw on was a challenge sometimes, but this was a fun project to work on, really. I admit watching Dr Horrible's head getting slammed onto the car hood and NPH's glorious reactions over and over was one of the highlights. :-)

Great vid--loved the balance between the sweet and darkly humorous aspects!

Yes, this! Really enjoyed it, and the music choice was perfect. Dr. Horrible just wants an old-fashioned love story in the laundromat, okay? :)

[blithesea]

Heh, that's how I felt about the music, too. The rose-tinted formal dancing cinched for me. Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for the lovely comment!

I am entirely confused about how you made this with so little footage. But you did, and it's great! Cute and touching and foreboding.

[blithesea]

It wasn't easy, I'm glad it came out like this! Thank you for the lovely comment!
