Awww I really loved this video. It worked well with the song and usually Hotel California is no no to make vids too, but seriously? This rocks. I loved the clipping and the season 3 and season 1 flashes of both rapes. Well one potential and one happening. Also loved the character cameos. Weevil, Logan, Wallace, Keith, everyone basically. Good job. :).

It was ambitious, more so than any other vid I've done. I think the grand scale of song choice really did force me to move out of my comfort zone in viddint.

Thank you for commenting!

That was fantastic! I loved how perfectly you matched the Aaron scenes with the lyrics. I loved the tying together of Shelly's party and what happened in "Spit and Eggs." Parts of this gave me chills. It was a Herculean task to take on this song and I think you accomplished it and then some!

Thanks!

That whole sequence in the middle, with the Aaron scenes, Veronica and Lilly finding the cameras, and the tying together of the S1 and S3 rape arcs really satisfied me for some reason.

I think the song choice, being one so entrenched in public psyche, forced me to push my comfort zone in vid making and stretch my talents a little and I'm happy with that.

Awesome. I loved the vid. You actually managed to capture everything I love about VM. I loved the comparison between Shelly's party and the showdown with Mercer. I love the song and I love what you did with it. Damn, V really had it rough. It's a miracle she trusts anyone at all. Great job!

There's so much to love about VM, so that comment makes me happy.

Yeah, after making this vid, I really think Veronica should leave Neptune and never come back. Seriously. Just start a new life elsewhere.

Thanks for the comment!

I am in love with that scene where Veronica sees Lilly outside of the Kane mansion when she's over for that dinner. I loved it when I saw the ep, and I was thrilled to see you used it. *sigh* And I had much more to say what I loved about the vid and VM but as you said it's a lot. *lol*

Strangly, all of my fanfic ideas are either season one AU, or V far far away from Neptune in the future. And most often than not, it's the second option. She could become so much more comfortable with herself if she just left that oppressive town. *sigh*

I know I've told you this before, but I really do love this vid and how you worked through so many issues in the span of 7 minutes.

The lyric about a stab that plays when Aaron gets his is so well done, and well, I think the clips you chose matched the song on the whole.

I'm just so glad that people like it. It had the great potential of being a flop, just on the basis of being such a well liked song, but this vid seems to be popular. Yaaaaay.

The Aaron clip was one of the first ones that got stuck in my mind.
