Intimidated? Gods, not only is the vid awesome, I've been seeing it recc'ed all over the place. It's a great vid that totally got me to like the song on its own, which always says something awesome about a vid where I'm concerned. I'm not awake enough to give you specifics about what makes this vid so great, but it's something about its visceralness, all the fast jump cuts and the pace of the song, and how it builds with the song to a really intense ending, then pulls back at the end to that shot of them on Apocalyptic!Earth.

You should *totally* not be intimidated. This is a great vid. I have watched it multiple times.

Thank you. I'm glad I got over it and posted. I always like hearing that it stood up to repeat viewings.

I just watched this again while imagining the rapper was the Cylon God -- AND IT GAVE ME CHILLS.

That's weird that you say that because one of the vids I'm working on now is from the Cylon God's POV for challenge 10 - broadcast on thearchive2.

I love reconsidering vids with someone else's perspective and interpretation. I completely agree about how different it becomes.

OMG thank you for including this at thearchive2!

It's just awesome and TOTALLY belongs here.

Unfortunately your amazing awesome of responding to these challenges with vidlets has made ME want to do something similar. I was already thinking of using 'war for your mind' as the response to the wireless challenge, but now I want to be JUST LIKE YOU and try some other experimental vidlets.

I'm not sure I'll get to it all that soon because I just moved countries, am terrified of my new job, have FAR less free time than I did and have no net connection other than stealing the neighbours' wireless but I figure as long as I get all these done before the 4.5 premiere it'll be "in before the deadline".

But now I'm rambling and the point of this is - I just rewatched and EVERY TIME it's more awesome. "Split the atom of a molecule" is just fucking inspired, dude. Amazing.

Experimental vidding is the new black. Try it. It's extremely liberating.

Yay for stealing neighbours' wireless. I do the same thing. I'm of the mind that if they don't know enough to password it, I'm only walking through an opened door with a welcome mat.

After the end of season 4, I'd imagine that there will be many things that come into a different light. So vidding the challenges might be even more interesting.

Thank you.
