Yay!!! Thank you :)

I liked this a lot - made me smile and roll my eyes at the same time - at the boys, not at you, of course. :-)

[lilly_the_kid]

Awww, thank you so much, I'm so glad you like it! Also thanks for taking the time to tell me :)

I really enjoyed this - I loved the frantic pace set by the cuts, and the difference in the way Rodney sees John - "no doubts in his head" - to the clips we're actually seeing and Rodney's reputation, and how even though all this bad shit keeps happening to them that they keep have to marching onward through, but through it all leaning on each other for a little help doing that marching.

Thank you so much for your lovely comment! I really wanted to show John through Rodney's eyes and how much confidence Rodney has in him - even though sometimes John himself might not be too overly confident. I'm really glad this comes across in the "no doubts in his head" part.
Thank you again, I'm so glad you enjoyed this!

I love your video! Beautifully edited with such a fine selection of clips and a great choice of song. Just superb in every way. I've watched it a half a dozen times so far and I still get a goofy smile on my face every time. Thank you for all your hard work!

[lilly_the_kid]

Thank you so much for all your kind words, I'm so so happy you like this! This lovely comment put a big smile on my face :)

I've pimped the song today as part of my ongoing Song of the Day in my journal and linked to your fab vid, so hopefully you'll get vidders from other fandoms taking a peek and leaving you feedback. When you make this embeddable, I'm totally going to make it the Video of the Week at my website, Raspberry World.

Can you tell I really like it?

I realize now I never left a comment, but your "Celebrity Skin" video is another favorite of mine. I show it to friends all the time. Oh hey, I used the song as a SotD too because of you. *blushes*

I'm not stalking you. Honest. Just a huge fan of your work.

[lilly_the_kid]

I'm absolutely thrilled and extremely flattered that you like these vids so much you'd rec them! Thank you so much, I truly appreciate it. (I'll see about the embeddable thing.)
And I totally know the feeling of strongly associating songs with vids and enjoying the songs with this kind of connection in mind, I do that a lot and it makes me very happy to know that someone feels this way about vids I made :)
Thanks again!
