That was heartbreaking and hopeful and painful and loving and just really good. The fast pace didn't let me tear up while watching but I'm starting to as I think about it :')

Love the two sides and how they sometimes have similar separate scenes of the boys, then sometimes come together as one scene, and sometimes you have interaction between them.

Awesome vid. Thank you!

It's so good to hear it had that effect, that's what I was aiming for! Also super glad to hear you found the split screen serving it's purpose, I was really afraid it'll be annoying and too confusing to follow.
Thanks so much!

You're so welcome :D

You're killing me with these vids, hon. You just took every heart wrenching moment, wove them together perfectly and put them an amazing and perfect soundtrack. It's only a cope of minutes long...HOW IS IT THAT I'M STRUGGLING NOT TO BREAK DOWN SOBBING. Just fantastic. I don't know how you do it, but I damn glad you do. I loved it all - the divided screen concept worked so well for this...it was just so clever and really just hammered those heart breaking moments home. You totally filled the brief perfectly too, IMO, because if there was ever a tribute to the epic love story of Sam and Dean, this was it.

Great job, hon, thanks for sharing. :-)

Well, you're killing me with your comments so it's a tie!
So happy to hear the split screen concept worked for you hon, and as for Sam and Dean and their epic love story, they really leave you no other choice.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Awesome and great song choice!

Very nice editing, I especially liked how you punctuated the percussions with Sam and Dean throwing punches - fantastic use of movement in that section.

[justmep2]

Thanks so much for saying that! I worked a lot on timing this specific part sequence and still not 100% happy with it, but I'm glad it worked for you.
Thank you!

Perfection! The split screen was an awesome choice and the editing was brilliant. You captured what the show is really about - Sam and Dean; brothers.

[justmep2]

Thanks so much! There isn't a better compliment for me than knowing you felt like it captured what the show and the boys are about.

Wow! That was both amazing and powerful. Loved your notes too! And really, what a fantastic song. All around awesome!! What a lovely present.
