I'm absolutely speechless here, still shivering and in aw with this vid. You outdid yourself - again.

It breaks my heart and then again I love it so much because of all those heartfelt scenes.

I can't say in English what I love about this vid so much but I'll do it in German: Ich liebe diese Überblendungen und Schablonen, die Du eingesetzt hast!!!!

It looks so professionell, I already downloaded it.

Thanks for this amazing vid!!!!

Sorry for the late reply, but as always, your comment made me very happy and I'm so glad you enjoyed the vid! *♥* I wasn't sure if the vidding style was something people would like, but even though it was a lot of work, I also had fun experimenting around with different things and I'm glad it worked for you. :)

pineapples. despite the fact that I should be NOWHERE NEAR THIS CORNER OF THE INTERWEBZ, OMG.

I loved it. Broke my heart, especially with the clip of drugged out Neal snoozing on the Burkes' couch, but it was awesome.

Wouldn't have caught the mirror sequence if you hadn't mentioned it. But damn. It was awesome.

Heeeee, thank you very much! ♡ Sorry to be a distraction, but good for me *g* because I was happy to hear you liked the vid.

Pineapples! :)

This was great! I loved how Neal disappears from some of the scenes, nicely done. The mirror sequence is good too! I really enjoyed this, thank you for sharing it! :)

Thank you very much! <3 So glad that those effects worked for you. :)

That was quite moving. I love the morphing at the beginning of the bad guy to Peter and then to Neal.

[noiproksa]

Thank you so much! *♥* Heeeee, so glad the morphing sequence worked, since it took me ages to make that work, but I also had fun experimenting around with that :)

Holy crap and pineapples!!!

I had to watch this twice before I could even start to figure out how to comment and still I can't really find the right words. I think for me the most poignant moment of the entire vid is at about 1.27 or so when the picture goes black and white and Peter opens the door of the loft, obviously hoping to find Neal and instead there is only the ghost of Neal that vanishes from the picture. For me that was the heartbreak moment where I felt that that Peter was desperately searching for Neal and as time elapsed he was getting farther and farther from finding him and being left with just the echo of Neal's presence and that too was fading away. By the end I felt not only Neal's desperation for Peter to find him but Peter's desperation as well, as if he is searching for a part of himself that he knows he cannot live without.

This is amazing and I cannot even begin to fathom how you do make these. It was a masterpiece! Bravo

Thank you so, so much! ♥ (And heeeee, it's good to know someone reads my notes, I was starting to wonder …) I am so incredibly happy that you like this vid so much, because I worked on it really hard (I think it's the vid I've put the most work into if I add up all the hours I worked on it. Well, either this or “I Know Him So Well”).
And it warms my heart that the scene at 1.27 worked for you, because it took a lot of trial and error to get that scene from my head to the finished vidding product, and your interpretation of it is spot on. That's exactly the reaction I was going for. :)
