Oh, WOW.

Loved this. Never thought I'd like listening to a song by Justin Timberlake, but your vid totally won me over. I wish there were more Mylar vids like this out there; MAEK MOAR PLZ?!

*grins* I'm a pusher, I admit it.

Oh, that was perfect! I especially loved the scene with the tuning fork and how you synched it with the music. The overall flow of the video was just perfect as well, and I loved the way you ended it with a shot of Sylar walking away. Just wow ♥

P.S. I love your other vids way too much as well :D

[wistful_fever]

Awww, thank you. That shot at the end was a spur of the moment thing. I originally had it ending on the shot of the blood streak, but I was watching clips, and I thought it would be cooler to have it end with Sylar walking through the streets, among us, blending in. *shrugs* I'm kinda big on melodrama.

Wow that was really excellent.... The editing was spot on plus excellent use of the lyrics. 2 thumbs up :D

And I agree, JT is very creepy in that vid LOL

Thanks! And I think everyone feels Justin couldn't be any creepier. It's nice to know I'm not alone. Not that Justin being creepy is a BAD thing, mind. It adds character.

Even though I get the creepy stalker vibe from Justin too, I don't think I would've thought put a Sylar POV vid and this song together, but you are so right for doing so. Your goal was to make it work, and you really succeed here. I watched this last night and have had it stuck in my head all day. The editing recontextualizes the canon so well, and Sylar's pov is really tight throughout. Great job, dude.

It was incidental that the idea popped into mine. It involved an ipod, and an obsessive replaying of mohinder/sylar scenes... and to be honest, I love a few of JT's songs. He has a unique voice, and for what it lacks in fullness, he often makes up for that with interesting musical background.

If this video worked for you, context-wise, I think the trick in most cases would have to be not straying far beyond the context in the first place, only making implications (unless you have clips like the ones Supernatural would provide, with possessed characters), so the story only deviates slightly, if at all. I've done AU vids before, and oddly, this one doesn't feel much like one. It just feels like a probable answer to the question: what will happen when Sylar finds out Mohinder is playing the happy family with Matt and Molly?

Thanks so much for the feedback, man. It's much appreciated.

First, let me say that I am super-impressed at how many shots of people turning around you found. Attention to detail! Kudos! ;) Also, fan-fucking-tastic video. I can imagine Sylar/Mohinder must be tough to vid, with so few scenes to use, but you absolutely made the pairing seem compelling. Thanks so much for sharing.

[wistful_fever]

Attention to detail! Kudos! ;)

Oh man, how much trouble organizing the spinning clips into anything coherent gave me. I'm really glad that worked for you. Thank you for the feedback.
