Oh, god, I think I have been watching vids for three and a half hours straight, my eyes are going to fall out. And I haven't commented, not even more than a placeholder for MY VID MINE MINE FOR ME!!, because I can't put reactions together.

But so far, these are my (other) favorites:

Past in Present (Chak De! India)
Mother Mary (China Beach)

Now I owe you a vidlet.

[thuviaptarth]

I am so amused that you and sweetestdrain actually see, like, a visual style! Because I want one! But I have no idea what it might be!

Anyway: Be as specific as you like and if I can't work with it, I'll ditch everything but fandom and character. But I will give it a shot.

Oh wow, this is so awesome! I absolutely love the music choice and how you hit the beats with clips so that I was never sure what to expect. Really powerful (and violent, whoa) clip choices and I particularly love the doors and then the one that wouldn't shut. No idea what was going on but it looked interesting. Love it!

thuvia is a clever woman. Apart from having a great beat that takes its time, the beginning has that sleepy, suburban pace that immediately conjured up the key scenes and told me how to build from there.

and how you hit the beats with clips so that I was never sure what to expect.

To be honest, I was never sure what to expect either; the vid made itself in a few days and there are entire sections I don't remember putting together -- it makes it a difficult job to take all this praise, but I suppose somebody has to do it.
