You know you want another show. And to tempt you further... it's a beautiful show to vid for. Great camera work, and pretty special effects. I'm just saying.
Damn. It's 3am and I was gonna watch this vid, go to bed, and rewatch it tomorrow when I'm more coherent and then give feedback, but (rather stupidly) I underestimated your power of emotional storytelling even for fandoms I don't know, and I feel an acute need to write some stuff now, mostly along the lines of
...guhh. That's one impressive vid. Beautiful song and haunting clips. I love your use of beats in this one: it's obviously very strong in the music and you utilised it beautifully in the editing.
The image at 0:32 is extremely evocative. I usually don't like negative filters, but I felt that this was a prime example of how to do it right and really get a bang out of video effects. Love the mouse motif you've got going on, and the various filters you used on it. 0:49 is lovely.
0:36 I especially liked, the movement was gorgeous; same with the brief shot of him jumping forward at 0:47. The window sequence starting at 1:00 is beautiful - such poignancy coming through when married to the music that way. Definitely one of the

Feedback from you ALWAYS makes me happy. I was going to go take a shower, but I think I'll just sit here and re-read it for a little while. :)
I'm glad you were able to catch some of the meaning w/out knowing the original source. It's great source. I haven't watched your vids yet (see? pain for me. I need to set aside some time to catch up on vids I want to see), but knowing your a vidder, you'd definitely love this show. A lot of the effects you speak of liking in this video *came* from the source. I just took advantage of it, and played it off the beat. :)
And nah, I think it's me with the FTP---I have an outdated version of SmartFTP, and it keeps telling me to upgrade. ::kicks it::
Hah. Don't let me get in the way of cleanliness! ;)
Damn - That's the thing with not knowing the fandom - you can't be sure where canon ends and the vidder begins. Boy, I feel sheepish. But I am still very impressed by the way you managed to use these clips to maximise their potential. I'm definitely going to check it out as soon as I can.
Oh, don't feel sheepish. I thought the same thing when I first saw Sisabet's Weeping Willow. The show is just pretty, with nice camera work/angles/motion, not just the standard shots, and it makes it a lot of fun to vid. I mean, I probably won't be getting a bucketload of feedback for I-Man vids, but it's so interesting to vid that I just don't even care. I love vidding it that much.
...and damn. A lot of the vids I've been uploading lately seem to have poor quality - they have red and green stripes running through them, and the colour's all wonky. And yes, I have the latest version of DivX - the problem shows up no matter what player I'm on. Have you ever heard of this problem? Could there be something weird about the way I'm DLing them? I have two different programs for that and it happens either way.
You know, that sounds like something I've gone through before with a different computer. If it's what I'm thinking, it's your PC's ability to play running up against the video acceleration settings for each of your players. The video acceleration options on windows media player are found under tools--->options---->performance
Changing those options to better suit your PC might help... or maybe not. But I'll throw that out there.
And you like I-Man? I can now sleep peacefully. :)
Oh, you're not out of touch, Sarah Slean isn't very mainstream at all. :)
Thanks for the feedback. And I know what you mean. I haven't seen Season Two yet, and I almost don't want to, because then there will be nothing left FOR me to see.

I can't watch it now because I'm at work but I'll definitely download it later!
