Thanks

A mighty big thanks to counteragent for her bid and generous donation to the Queensland flood appeal. Also for the encouraging feedback along the way. *squish* Thanks to starrylizard for the song suggestion. I would never have thought of this song for Bobby. Thanks sweetie. And to _sharvie_ for taking a look and making some valuable suggestions. I know you're busy so I appreciate it. *heffa hugs* And *smish* to maichan808. Look at that awesome banner! \o/ It's like she can read my mind. <33


Vid Notes

When counteragent requested a Bobby vid she said "the world needs more Bobby vids". I agreed but it wasn't until I started looking for a song for Bobby that I realised why the world doesn't have more Bobby vids. Finding a song for him was hard!

When starrylizard suggested this song I kinda chuckled initially and didn't give it much consideration. Then I listened to the lyrics and started to picture how it could actually work. So I finally settled on a song that I thought was completely off the scale in terms of Bobby's character. But in hind sight I think (I hope!) it worked ok. I liked that it gave me the opportunity to use various POV's to show Bobby's character.

For me Bobby's story is often wrapped up in everyone else's. He's like an Everyman. The "go to" man when there's trouble. I loved Weekend at Bobby's for giving us more of an insight to his character. It also emphasised how much he does for others. So that became the focus for this vid. I didn't want it to be too heavy, because I don't think the show treats him too heavily, even though he obviously has his share of heartbreak.

The other day I was just wishing for a Bobby vid and telling someone there need to be more Bobby vids and then LIKE MAGIC your vid appeared!

I feel like you've captured him perfectly here. Bobby! \o/

Hee! You and counteragent are obviously on the same wavelength...(and not just in the request for shoes..*g*)

I am so glad you felt like I captured him. I did worry about that.

Thanks so much for your lovely comment. And yay Bobby icon! \o/
