Someone at the con said this vid was one of the few to critique Twilight while still taking it seriously and I think that's exactly why I responded so well to it. You capture exactly what unsettles me about Bella and Edward and that ending sequence starting at 3:06 is perfection. Awesome work, this was one of my faves from Challenge! :D

Ooh, beautifully complicated - so many problems inherent in the relationship, but not all can be pinned on Edward, and it's clear they're devoted to each other, no matter what their friends/family or we the audience think about whether it's a good idea or not. Will be watching this more, for sure.

I wasn't sure at first if this was a serious look at their relationship or more about how creepy their relationship is and I was very glad it was the latter. This was really beautifully done and I loved all the great symbols throughout. The way you emphasize all the fucked up things is just so perfect especially the stalking shot at the beginning and at 0:31. I particularly love the beginning and ending, really gorgeous imagery and I love the word shots. This vid reeeally needed to be made and I'm so glad you did it justice.
