Vid comment:

I won't deny that this vid was hard. I think the more I make vids the more I know how much better they could be and this one particularly so. I adore this song and really just wanted to do it justice. It's very simple really- nothing flashy in terms of effects etc. It was the lyrical interpretation that was killing me! I wanted to show all the ways in which Dean is there for Sam - in terms of what he "gives" him. I suppose I count a lot on viewers understanding of the context in which these moments occur also.

I can't thank my wonderful beta _sharvie_ enough. She truly is a talented beta. I'm kinda amazed she stuck through me with this - it's because of her I actually finally finished it. *squeezes tight*

I also had a lot of hand holding with this one. Special thanks to Gaby, Coastal5 and Gentlesideofury for some much needed inititial feedback.

And a very special thanks to the lovely deirdre_c for, well,.... she knows. *hugs*

I'll be keen to know what you think. :)

Wow, Ash, I think this might be my new favorite video of yours. While I adore your crackvids to smithereens, this one really connected with me on an emotional level.

I loved the overhead shot of Sam and Dean walking that leads into the opening titles. There's just something about the playful shove and the composition of the frame that make it really effective.

Also, the sequence from 1:54-2:07 was just beautifully edited, with the seamless transitions from the first fire to the second, and then from black and white to color.

And I really have to hand it to you on your clip selection. Non-literal, conceptual lyrical interpretation is always the hardest thing to do. I thought you undoubtedly succeeded in capturing the "guardian angel" aspect of the brothers' relationship. *wibble*

Oh hun - you have no idea how pleased that makes me to hear that!

I loved the overhead shot of Sam and Dean walking that leads into the opening titles.

I almost didn't start with that instrumental section as the beginning - it was Shavie who suggested I did. That was the first clip that sprung to mind for that opening.


Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. It means a lot.

*hugs*
