Thank you!

I like the changes you made! I will never ever get this song out of my head, either. Curse you!

(Also, who is that singing with Lovett? It sounds a little like Randy Newman to me. Heh.)

[isiscolo]

Thank you - and thanks SO MUCH for all your advice, which really helped a lot. And I repay you with earworms, how bad of me! :-)

And yes, I had to go look it up, and it is indeed Randy Newman - I swear that's a coincidence!

First Turnbull vid I've ever seen! Loved seeing some clips I'd completely forgotten about! But this does mean that I have to go sit through the entire season 3 of ds now, just to see the Turnbull moments...

Greatness! Your editing is really, really good. Very appropriate (and damn funny!) clips chosen to suit the music and lyrics! *adores*

[isiscolo]

Aw, thank you so much. It was a lot of fun to go through all of the Turnbull moments. Ahem. And heh, if you really don't want to sit through all of S3, I have my "reduced Turnbull clip" set all nicely wmv-ified...

[taroly1888]

Ohh, ohhh, ohhhhh! Not that I really need an excuse to sit through season 3 but ohhhh, "reduced Turnbull clip" set sounds yummy!

[slidellra]

Hee! That's awesome. I love your use of the star when cutting between shots.

[isiscolo]

It's the Lone Star State, of course! Thank you kindly.

And I got that. The star thing, I mean. I felt ever-so-clever about it, too. ;-)

I really liked the way you used the 'repeat' thing in sync with the music, especially the bit with Thatcher & Fraser when they find him tied up behind the desk. Really nice. And the spoken "Sing us another tune, sweeheart" (is that what he says - I can't hear too well, I get a bit muddled up at times) bit at the end, a quirky thing to end the vid on.

Well done!

[isiscolo]

Hee, yay you for not even being an American and getting it!

The repeat thing, amusingly enough, started out as a way to stretch that keys-under-hat clip - because it's such a funny clip and I wanted to use it for the whole musical phrase, but it's actually very short. So I did the repeat with the music, and slowed down the eyeroll, and then of course I had to do a repeat for the second "oh Lord, oh Lord," and it was serendipity to find that particular bit, because the way Fraser lifts his eyebrow just cracks me up every time.

I think he says "another one" but, close enough! Another bit of serendipity - I wanted to close with another Bubba Dean shot, and when I was sifting through the clips, the snippet of dialogue seemed just right.

Thanks so much - I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I'm so very very happy right now ^________^

[isiscolo]

Yay!
