Amazing story inspired by the vid by [livejournal.com profile] stillwaters01



Thanks to my super betas and feedback givers [livejournal.com profile] _sharvie_, [livejournal.com profile] my_sn_therapy and [livejournal.com profile] maichan808 (yep! I need a lot of hand holding *g*). Thanks so much lovely ladies *hugs*<333

Notes:

I heard this song as an intro for a podfic recording and it kept haunting me. It spoke to me of the fallout from supernatural encounters, not just for Sam and Dean but for the many others that cross their paths.

This song was written by James Blunt about the Kosovo War. I don't mean to trivialise the suffering of the people he sung about by making a fanvid to the song - I just felt it suited the people who inhabit the Supernatural universe.

Comments are always loved. :)

ash48 aka Veritas48 who affects all who see her vids.
You make us see more of what's inside ourselves that Show reflects back at us.
Not just what we identify with personally with the Brothers, but what we also see and identify with in the other characters that suffer from the Evil that enters into and affects their lives. Even though we may not have realized it at the time.

Yes, this is all about us. Life is. We define it. It also defines us.

Thank you Ash. Don't be surprised if we start calling you Veritash48
;P

Hey honey..

Hee! Veritash48!

And wow, thanks for such lovely feedback. The song is powerful in the way it talks about suffering. Even though it was specifically written for a war, it can be true for people's every day suffering. I think the Show works well to reflect that also.

Thanks again. *hugs*

OMG. That was just breathtaking. What an absolutely beautiful way to showcase the guest stars on this Show. How much they bring and add and blend with the main cast. I haven't seen another video do that better than this one. It's truly perfect.

Thank you so much. :) I really wanted to mix Sam and Dean's pain in with everyone else's There's been so many memorable other characters of the years.

Heehee! I knew you were going for the gut on this one and it totally delivered. Yay! So many perfect on-key moments. The closet, Ellen, Lu turning. The color is so subtle it's almost blink and you miss it, but that just keeps people's peepers peeled! Just sucks them in and sucker punches them! Way to go!!

Thank you so much honey. I'm really glad we worked the colour angle more thoroughly.. and yay! closet doors...:)

Thanks as usual for all your hard work. How many copies was that? I think we got up to G!! /o\

*smish* Stand by for the next one in a few days... on 40 secs so no biggie. I need a break from the "biggies" for a bit.

Oh, what a perfect song for SPN. I really love what you made from it. Yes, it is sad but I've never seen a vid that covers that angle of the SPN story better.

Thank you so much. When I first heard it I thought it would fit well to the Show. It has the feel I was after as well as the lyrics.

Thanks for stopping by. :)

Aaaaand breathe. Gah! even the graphic just gets on in there and rips at your heart.

Loved the extra touches to this, hun - the colouring and additional characters & scenes. Even from the very start I've loved how the viewer sits with each character for a time; the way you've been able to continue that, to shine a spotlight on each but also blend them within the greater narrative fabric is exceptional.

As usual, I will effuse a little more over this at ETV:D x

Thanks so much honey. Yeah, I tweaked quite a bit after the copy you saw. Takes me ages to settle on a final edit.

Thank you SO much for your encouragement with this one. In fact, it was your initial response that really kept me fired up and motivated to keep at it. So THANKS! (and mentioning Bela made me think of all the others I might have missed...*g*)

Absolutely adored this. I was warned not to watch this if I wasn't prepped for some sadness (like, say, first thing in the morning) but I went ahead and watched it right before work anyway. And you know what? It actually lifted my mood, cuz it was so touching and well done. Gotta love a vid that makes you sniffly.

Friending so I can keep up with your fine fine work.

There's not much that seems new to me in vidding lately, but this... this is so touching and using all the secondary characters right along side the Winchesters... beautifully done.

Beautiful and heartbreaking. Not to make it all about the Winchesters, but I imagine they are well-aware of the the fallout from supernatural events, and the effect it can have, since that's what their whole lives have been about. And that, the grief and sadness these people they come into contact with, the people they "save," must weigh heavily on them and multiply their own grief, and sense of guilt and responsibility.

Beautiful editing and use of color and lyrics and it made me cry.

Thank you so much. :). It's very sad to think about all the tragedy the boys must witness. They have to contend with not only their own tragedies but all those they come across. It's something I hoped would come out of the vid.

Thanks for your thoughtful comment.

What a beautiful video. I watched it three times, got all teary and had to go look for something light/fun, but I'm back and watched it again. As you said, the words of the song really suit the SPN world and all of the suffering of the Winchester family, and others.

You chose wonderful scenes/moments and assembled them in just the right order (sorry, I don't know the right terminology to describe what I like about a vid in any technical way) to create a very powerful and emotion provoking video.

Thanks for sharing. *Hugs*
