"Grey Ghost", a John Adams video

[tehlime]

John Adams is a lovely mini-series that aired in 2008, following the life story of the title character. This vid, however, only covers the first two episodes. Why? Well, because they're my favorite. This vid is specifically focused on the American Revolution, which I always find fascinating, despite numerous people telling me I shouldn't, that it

OH MY GOSH, this is literally SO AWESOME/STRANGE because no joke, I was just writing back on your email (dreadfully late, but yes, I was going to say it's perfectly ready to post) today! But just...this vid. This vid. You honestly have such talent, and there's such a poetry with how this whole piece moves. I am so pleased you chose to focus on the American Revolution, because ever since I was little I've been so enthralled with it. Anyways, wonderful, wonderful job! I'm so sorry I didn't get the chance to email you back earlier, but classes have been so busy lately and I was finally getting the chance today cause it's Easter Break. :D Okay, going to re-watch this as many times as I possibly can. ♥ YOU ARE AWESOME.

YOU ARE SO DELIGHTFUL. :D Ahaha, yeah, don't worry about taking a long time! Ask anyone who has betad for me before, I do this awful thing where I let a finished video sit for, like, two weeks to a month before I can work up with ~*whatever*~ to post it. So the timeline of this being posted wouldn't have changed much, really. SO, NO WORRIES, 'CAUSE CLASSES > VIDS.

♥♥ Uhm. Thank you so much. It's absolutely staggering to get comments like that. I AM GOING TO SQUISH YOU WITH HUGS NOW.

That was wonderful! I'm actually rec'ing it to my friend who teaches high school US history. This was a wonderful miniseries, and yes, the first couple episodes were the best. Laura Linney as Abigail Adams made me squee when I heard the casting (though I needed to see it to have Paul Giamatti convince me - and he did), and this was a great little video that celebrated the really cool parts.

Thank you very much! I agree about the casting, I just adore Laura Linney. And I'm thrilled you're recing this to someone. I really hope your friend enjoys it!

Very cool. I've only seen a few minutes of this mini-series, but this is gorgeous and fascinating. :)

And it moves beautifully too (love this song).

[tehlime]

Hooray! I'm so glad it worked for you, even though you don't know the source.

Thank you. It's a fantastic song, it did a lot of the work for me. ;)

Thank you! :D

This vid is wonderful! I've never seen the miniseries, but my BFF has and loves it so I'm going to send her over here to watch your vid. You absolutely don't need to have seen it to understand and enjoy this beautiful vid, though. I was cheering by the end of it. :D

Wow, thank you! I'm really pleased it worked so well, despite you not knowing the series. It's always hard to judge, but I was aiming to make it accessible for non-fans. And I hope your bff likes the vid! :D
