Basically: from a more academic perspective I like fandom stuff because it's often using remixes of the text to respond to the text in a more meaningful way. And the way you structured all of this, the way you edited scenes and put them together-- it's practically a visual dialogue and absolutely the embodiment of how this sort of derivative creation is just an amazing way to look at stuff. I really have no praise to offer any vid or fic or anything that's higher than that, and you just got it all SO right.
I cherish your comment bc you applied the words "academic perspective" to this vid. It really means a lot as the text is so RICH and I hope this vid brings some discussion to the table. I certainly learned a lot while making it. In other words, WHEEE! THANK YOU!!! :DDDDDD
Seconding the academic perspective here-if I were a good enough academic instead of a bottom-of-the-food-chain baby postgrad, I would gladly write the shit out of something in fan culture academia based on this vid alone. It's jaw-dropping. Absolutely amazing, and so, so powerful. Thank you for making it. ♥
I know what you mean. After I made it I felt I needed to post a huge accompanying essay with it, because creating this vid made me see SO MUCH in the text that maybe I hadn't picked up on before. But then ultimately I felt I should let the vid speak for itself and have the audience take away whatever they want to take away from it. So thanks for watching! I'm thrilled you enjoyed it. :D
This will be more detailed when I'm not work but I FUCKING LOVE THIS VID SO MUCH IT HURTS! Literally as I watched it during lunch and was just bawling through the entire second half. It's just the best Game of Thrones vid I've seen yet and it says so much of what needs to be said about the women on this show and the hell they go through and the strength they show in facing it and addshjkfhask I'll have much longer feedback later.
YOU ARE MY FAVORITE! :') Tears is for sure the correct reaction (but in a good way lol). I'm just so happy you liked it! The creation of this vid was an INTENSE journey to go on and reactions like yours is what it's all about. And of course the discussion it generates. THANKS SO MUCH! ♥
THIS VID IS SO PERFECT NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I WATCH IT! Seriously, every clip is so full of meaning and it's timed so well and everything works so well together and god I loooove the structure (that is my favorite thing about vids and this vid NAILS IT). It is the PERFECT song choice with how fast it is and yet has slower moments and it builds and the pacing is freaking gorgeous. It breaks my soul and makes me cry everytime and man now I have to rewatch it a million times to comment. WORTH IT

Dany "running" to Viserys reminds me that Dany had already been running most of her life before that. And I LOVE that Drogo is "the sun will be guiding you" because sun and moon of COURSE and how he guides her to become a stronger person. I love how you show the Quarth people, the wine guy and the spider (with the sword in it to the music!) showing all the threats Dany keeps facing trying to literally stop her from being queen with her dragons. Which speaking of, I love how you introduce them with the egg shot, then one on her shoulder and then the bigger one in front of her. I love how you cut between the differen close/long shots of Dany and her dragons along with the knife and the prophecy women that brings to mind the other big prophecy that influences Dany in the future (plus comet shot is perfect!). And I LOVE how you show her chained with the "break out from society" which not only fits Dany overcoming what society thinks she should be but relates so well to her freeing of the slaves thing

Just fyi, no matter how plainly phrased, the fact that this vid caused such a reaction from you is making me have ALL THE EMOSHUNS! I'm floored but also completely understand as it was a truly gut wrenching process during the edit. Thank you so much for watching! :')
