Hi!
I just have to say that I absolutely love all of your White Collar videos! You are a genius at this!
I've been listening to this song lately: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2d9_llBiwAk (Here's the original song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvXpS2wrlVU)
and I wanted to ask you if you could make a WC video with that song. It just reminds me of Neal so much and I would love to see what you can make with it.
Let me now! I'd be very thankful (I'd do it myself if I had any clue at all about how to make videos!)

Hi, thank you so much, it's always nice to hear there are people out there who enjoy my vids since I enjoy making them so much :)
I was fresh out of songs to vid to, either way, and I quite like the song you suggested. I don't really want to make any explicit promises, but what I can say is that I like the idea and will see what I can do with it. (Though it might take me a while, there are stressful times ahead in January.)

[iamhere23]

Thanks! That's all I'm asking for, when you have time and if you like the song then I'll wait for it! :)

[noiproksa]

Hi, I got it done before the stress even really started *g*. I hope you enjoy it: I'll Try

That's amazing and gorgeous and wow. So much more than pretty clips lined up one after the other, the character insight just knocks me out. Thank you for sharing. swanpride is lucky to get such a great stocking stuffer.

[noiproksa]

Heeee I'm so glad you enjoyed it. It took me quite some time just planning the different layers of interpretation, so I'm really glad the character insight turned out okay. :)

This is just lovely. I love this song. It fits perfectly and I love the character insight in the video. Excellent job!

[noiproksa]

Thanks so much for watching! It was so much fun making a Neal character study to that song and I'm glad it works for you. :)

Genius!!!!Heaping barrel of praise! Usually when someone is trying out all those video manipulations; it's limited,not always necessary, and noticeable. It really took thinking on my part to realize that it wasn't "professional" done and "canon". The melding of scenes and clips along with adding dialog superb. The ending truly a suprise and oh so cool; having Peter reflected in the mirror with his conman speech overtop of the scene. Meant to ask - is the logo new? Noticed first on Christmas Vid. It is lovely.

[noiproksa]

Wow, thanks! I am so happy the vid worked so well for you! I really liked playing around with the effects in this one and it's nice to hear that that worked. As for the ending: So glad that you like it, that was one of my favorite bits to edit. :) Thank you very much for your nice words! (I don't really know what you mean - the logo at the bottom right corner? I don't think I even used it in the Christmas vid because of the frame, but apart from that I've been using it from the start.)

[ladyrose42]

For some reason I just didn't notice your logo. Must have been distracted by the vid itself. Some times I just find myself just so oblivious it's borders on having no brain cells at all

[noiproksa]

Actually, that's good that you didn't notice it, it's not supposed to be too in-your-face or distracting from the vid. (Also: I'm the first to not notice these kinds of things, so I totally get obliviousness ;)
