!

Amazing use of overlays and juxtaposition to make statements about the characters. So much context and it's saying so much. It's only 1 min, but it has the narrative weight and depth of a 3+min vid. Amazing.

Also, I'm in love with your composition all through. I particularly love how you have faces/expressions positioned to peek through layers. Favorite is 0:33, but that's one of many moments.

*bows to my vid goddess*

HEY!!!

Thanks. I don't think it would have worked if it'd been more than a minute long. It would fall apart and become annoying.

Oh, how intriguing! I love the premise of this vid because it prompts me to think more about how the Doctor does see Martha ... and I hope it's how it's portrayed in this vid. :p I'm so in Martha's pov when watching the show I honestly hadn't thought too much about it!

also, your editing here is so unusual in a great way. It may not be actually unusual but it's very different from the way I vid so it feels so to me. For instance I love the use of the fast cuts between still shots at the beginning, and all the uses of layered images. I can't believe how well you control them! My eye totally follows the vid despite how much is going on. It's crazy! I seriously don't know how you do it.

I'd like to think that The Doctor looks at Martha and is awed by her. She's better than him in a lot of ways and she doesn't really need him the way that he needs other people.

I like being unusual. :)

WOW! That was fantastic!!!! The use of stop motion was just BRILLIANT and I love how dynamic it was even though there were only stills in it. I can't even imagine how you did it! But WOW!

And aw, Martha! She needs more love from the fandom. ♥

I loved it, it's just genius!

Thanks! I think I still have the timeline and files intact. I might have to put them up online or something. It wasn't anything super fancy or tricky.

I heart Martha.

This actually made me shiver, because even though it's about Martha, it's as much about the Doctor, and how different he is. How old, time so different to him. Fantastic!

Wow, thanks so much for watching and reccing too. I've always wondered how someone like The Doctor (and Jack now too) sees other people who are blips in their lives.

omg experimental! the images and effects you've created are just stunning. your genius astounds me -- did you really make it from screencaps? LOVE.

Yep, all stills. I'm a bit obsessed with using them at the moment.
