Vid comment:

SVS recently had 2 challenges - one for and 80's song and one for a recap. Unfortunately I wasn't in time for either, but it did spark the muse so I have a recap made to an 80's song!

As usual my thanks go to my fabulous beta _sharvie_. She did an awesome job on this - picking up things and making suggestions that made me do a happy dance. :D

In fact, this vid marks our 1st anniversary of working together. It was this time last year Sharvie agreed to take a look at my Season 2 recap. I remember her first sentence to me - "This video suffers from an identity crisis." That line has stuck with me and it's always on my mind while I'm make a vid. *hugs* to you hun. You've taught me a lot.

No money made but comments gratefully accepted. :D

Yay! A new vid from you! Ooh - and an 80's recap too!

Well it's definitely up to your usual high standard so it's a shame you didn't get it in for that challenge in time.

The clips you've picked match the lyrics so well - here's just a few examples:

0.33 - on their way back from the fire
0.57 - murder by the roadside
1.39 to 1.52 - all those clips!
1.55 to 2.01 - where's the glory/where's the angels
2.04 - figureheads have fell
2.29 - never chose this way (aw, sad clips)
2.34 - never close your eyes

And those were just my favourite bits that matched cos pretty much every scene did - which is excellent work.

Also - IMO an amazing recap of of S3 - you used so many of the scenes which defined each episode and it's just great - makes me want to go rewatch them all - well all except the last one of course! =)

I'm not usually a fan of heavily transitioned vids, as often I jsut find it distracting with too much going on, but I think with the clips you used and the story you were going for that it worked very well - for example I really liked the B&W shots at the beginning and the close-ups of the clock from 316 - the only one I really didn't like (as I did find it too distracting) was the orangey type transition with a sort of blue line that you used mostly for the 'Wild Boys' part of the chorus.

Your editing was really good too - in time with the beats which I think is so important. Watched it a few times now and I'll be keeping this one to watch a few times more - and to pimp out a little too =)

Thanks - really, really enjoyed that vid - now I'll go get it listed on The Impala before watching again! =)

*smishes* Big Time!

Again, I can't thank you enough for your detailed feedback. It's always great to know what works for people and just as importantly, what doesn't!

Still blown away that you took note of the time markers!! I thought my beta only did that! :D

*smishes* again 'cause you've made my day! :D

I used to do it a lot in all my feedback (time markers) and have started doing it more now =)

*huge hugs*

You are welcome, and thank you for such a wonderful video =)
