You did this?! Is there anything you cannot do?!!

This song is heart-wrenching! I love how you tell the story. The pace of it perfectly matches the pace of the song. The tone is nice too. Can I just go and cry now?

If I may ask, what program did you use?

[stolen_childe]

Aww, thank you Darling! You're too sweet. ^-^

Pace is so tricky to do with this fanvids, but I like to keep the pace to match the song. I'm so happy you enjoyed it. It's one of my favourite JG songs and I've been wanting to do this for a while.

You can ask me anything! I just used Windows Movie Maker for Windows 7.

Thank you again, My Dear!

Nooo way. How could you make such a beautiful thing from that crappy program? Okay, wrong question. Why can't I make something this beautiful from this crappy program? I'm not making fanvid, though. I just need to do some video editing for my work, and it gets really irritating sometimes. ^^;

[stolen_childe]

Oh I was really annoyed with it as well, it wasn't working right at all with my clips and the previews were freezing. I did some Googling and found out that the clips were too good for the program so I converted AVI to WMV (using the program - just add your raw clips - probably one at a time if you have multiple because conversion can take a while - and chose save for computer) and they worked very well, then I edited the video. It's more work, but it works in the end.

I'd love a more sophisticated program by I'm too cheap to buy one and I'm too nervous to download one... lol

So you can try converting and then using the step feature to trim the video, get as close as you can to where you want first and hopefully it will work. Movie Maker really is a pain in the butt though, I completely agree.

Enjoying!
I'm not sure if I heard this singer before but it's a nice song and it the vid fits it well.

[stolen_childe]

Thank so much! So happy to hear that.

He's my favourite, does classical music mostly. Only branched out to more modern stuff fairly recently but still does his classical pieces. Glad the vid fit with the music! Thank you again!

This is really beautiful and emotional, I love that you already used 8.02 videos. Thanks for sharing!

[stolen_childe]

So happy you liked it! Thanks so, so much!

Wow, just wow. That just broke my heart but in a joyous-we finally-got-some-payoff-after-all-these-years kind of way. That video was very well done with just the right images to pull at the heartstrings. You're really darn amazing. Thank you for sharing.

[stolen_childe]

Oh you are very, very kind! I'm so glad you liked it so much. Thank you!

Absolutely stunning! I love JG, fitting that you used the voice of an angel here ;) Perfect song is perfect song. Just saying. You did a beautiful job, fantastic pacing, the most emotional and hardhitting moments in their journey. And you got our hug in! Thanks for creating such a beautiful momento of our ship's love, and sharing it. I stand in awe!

Almost JG's entire album Illuminations just screams Destiel to me, I tend to associate him a lot with Castiel especially so I guess for me he really is the voice of an angel, like you said ;)

So happy to find someone else who enjoys Josh! The song has always made me think Dean and Cas almost since I first heard it and I'm so glad I finally managed to vid it!

Thanks so, so much for all your kind words! So happy you liked!
