So amazing! I loved the combination of the gorgeous art (loved their faces and details like water on the leaf, and, of course, the last panels), the beautiful music that fit the story so well (it felt wild when Sirius we were learning how untamed Sirius' magic was) to the story itself (the concept of heightened senses and Remus making Sirius focus on him to fix it). All of this was incredibly creative and I will rewatch it many times.

And I want to complement you on the art once more because I adored it just for its own sake.

Thank you so much. I actually had a few other scenes which I'd planned out, but once I got the spider web idea, it felt somewhat unnecessary. I'm happy you liked it!

This is only my 4th video, and it's the first time I've added text to the video like this, so I'm glad it worked out.

WOW! This is fantastic!

The first time around, I was so taken by the creative, unusual format that I had to go back right away to rewatch, in order to actually give due attention to the art and the story.

...And, wow again. How beautifully you've drawn them AND what a cool story you've told in the process! AND you've brought the whole theme of the five senses absolutely to the fore.

Very impressive!

(Favorite image: That shot of Remus, holding out his hand, looking the viewer straight in the eyes and saying, "Come to me.")

Thank you so much for your comment! I'm really happy that you liked it and watched it again! It takes me a long time to finish one of these, but these comments make it all worthwhile.

That is amazing! I was not expecting a video, but this is beautiful. I love it. I love that there's a sense do movement - visual progression that isn't otherwise there in static comic-style art. It's lovely. I like the music too. :)

Thank you so much. I went back and forth between comic and video, and decided that a video incorporated one more sense into it, and could add to the auditory confusion that Sirius might be feeling.

I'm really glad you liked it!

This was completely wonderful on so many levels. I loved how the video made certain that the viewer saw the exact angle they were supposed to at any point in time. Very nice detailing just through medium alone. Never mind the detail in the drawings themselves. They were stunning. Truly beautiful. And the story told, the overwhelming press of the world now that Sirius was finally back out in it, and how Remus focused him again. Simply amazing.

I've always thought of Sirius as being on a leash, and Remus being the only one who could pull him in, hold him close, and settle him down. So that was my basis for this video.

I know I tried to explain things in the team muggle comm, but it's hard to really explain until it's all put together.

I've watched this a few times now, and I keep discovering new details, this is so rich and absolutely beautiful! Wonderful story, coming to a very - VERY - satisfying ending, and of course the artwork is fabulous. Remus saying "Come to me" gave me so many goosebumps, and their kiss completely melted me. Loved this <3

Thank you so much for your compliments. It takes me probably 40+ hours to make a video like this, not including sketching and looking for music. So, I'm really happy you got so much out of it! ^_^
