Vid notes:

When the Levee Breaks is one of my all time favourite Supernatural episodes. I love that we got a chance to see inside Sam's head. I particularly love the way it was done.

In this vid I've tried to capture the intensity of that episode and explore a little bit of what Sam was going through. This has more effects in it than I would normally use, but I wanted to somehow portray Sam's confusion and state of mind and this, for me, was the a way of doing that.

There's a lyric in here that sums it all up for me: "safe from pain and truth and choice" The fact that he wasn't safe from those things and was instead confronted by those very things made me (finally) settle on this song for this video.

No money made but comments are awesome, so feel free *g*

Wow! wow! wow! That is uber-angst my darling, so beautiful. That song is *relentless* and definitely suits the vid's dark mood. The fighting scene at the end of this episode always hurt me and I love how you use it here. Especially "the shot" of the fist coming right at the screen (2:10).

Poor Sammy - so lost and desperate and tormented ... and Alistair ... to me he will always remain Supernatural's most vicious villain.

Congratulations on this!! ::hugs::

Hee! Yes, "uber-angst" might just be the way to put it. At this point in the series our poor boys' angst was out of the ball park.

I really like the way you described the song as "relentless". I think this is what attracted me to it. It just never lets up (well, I chopped the song up a bit to get it the way I wanted it.*g*). But I think that was the sense I wanted to get across.

Thanks so much hun! You always say the nicest things. :)
*hugs*
