That. Was. AWESOME. I seriously watched it with my mouth hanging open and this silly grin on my face. (Yes, it is possible to do both at once. :p)

Seriously, the pace was amazing, and you chose SO many clips I would never have thought of using, and the way you put them together with other clips was...gah. Just fantabulous. I also love how you brought it full circle, from zooming in to zooming out with the same scene at beginning and end.

*WILD APPLAUSE*

Heee! Thank you very much. *bows*

(the zoom in and out is actually the beginning and end of episode 7. I can't take full credit for the idea, since both the pro editors and marimba have done that trick, hehe)

ZOMG IT'S DONE! STUPID DOWNLOAD, GO FASTER!!

[bookwormprinces]

ZOMG IT'S SO FRAKKING AWESOME! :D:D Alas, I know I'm too tired right now to give you the detailed feedback you deserve, so I promise I'll get to it tomorrow. For now just know that I think it kicks some major booty. ;)

Haha. So one of the first things I noticed while watching this vid was, "Wow, everybody's aged a lot by season four!" ;) I shall try to do the rest of my notes in bullet-point format. ;)

- Out of all your little drumbeat cut-betweens(you know what I mean, lol), I think Starbuck grinning with her cards cut with her punching Tigh is my favorite. Not that the timing was off on any of the others, I just like the contrast within that one the best. :D (The one with Roslin facepalming and being sworn in is really awesome, too.)

- I love, love, love that you focus on Caprica Six and Gaius and then Helo and Sharon for each of the "hollow lies." And then use Adama's "We're going to find Earth" speech for the last one. It's so perfect.

- I definitely like that you switched to Galactica jumping away and the telescoping effect of all the people for "on holidaaaaaaaaaay". It flows wonderfully with the music. :D

- *giggles* Of course Zarek's the protester who crossed the line. *glee

Hee! Thank you. I was really hoping someone would enjoy the rain lyric. I did. *GG* And the other one was a pretty harsh lyric, but more or less a straightforward choice, clip-wise. Really love the feedback, thanks again. :-)

[sache8]

Hehehe... you make me so happy. Thanks. :-)

Oh, that is FANTASTIC. Absolutely awesome clip choices and timing. You've completely reminded me why I loved this show so much. Awesome job!

[sache8]

Thank you! It's always a thrill to capture inspiration for someone. :-D
