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. :)

Okay gotta say this vid is so emotionally touching, I think I've watched it a dozen times. The song had the potential to be done a bit sappy but you prevented that entirely with your image choices, emphasizing not only the happier but the bloodier moments of brotherly bonding. Also I love that you chose black and white for this and the fuzzy border effect which added to the overall mood. It's joy and tears all rolled into one and for my part I can't imagine anything that could have done the song more justice.

Hi. Thank you so much for your lovely comment. It's really made my day. I angsted (not sure if that's a word!) over this vid for ages so it's really nice to know it worked for you.

Thanks again.

I've had that on various projects, though it's been a while since since I've made anything I've shared broadly. I think the creator is often the most critical of a piece so I just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed it. Also I'm fairly sure 'angsted' is a word. If it isn't now it will eventually become one so we might as well use it and be ahead of the curve.
