This fulfils my final prompt "colour" on my vid_the_grid table!! *throws confetti* \o/



First up - thanks to the lovely smilla02 for this wonderful song and prompt. I've loved getting my teeth stuck into something meaty. And uh..thank you for your awesome feedback. <33

How on earth do I sufficiently thank my betas on this project?! To counteragent who has been with me from the very beginning. Listening to my ideas and checking out numerous early drafts. Thank you so much for your help, cheerleading and wonderful ideas. <33

To my long time beta and friend _sharvie_. I've said it before, but I'll say it again; your eye for detail is down right scary. And damn impressive. Thanks for the push to get this right honey and for your wonderful suggestions. <33

And to maichan808 for being my "fresh eyes" once all this was pretty much said and done. Your thoughts and comments helped immensely. Thank you sweetie.

Vid Notes

It was very early on that counteragent said to me "epic vid is epic". She was not kidding. *g* Not only in the scope of the story, but the process of putting it together was pretty epic. Not least because I decided to use external footage to help show the world that was saved. It's the first time I've used it to this extent and it certainly has been a learning curve.

I chose to use it because I feel we never really get to see "the real world" in the SPN 'verse. I not only wanted to use it to highlight that fact, but also to show a world that was oblivious to the sacrifices our boys had made.

There are a few themes running through the vid and I suppose I hope the vid speaks for itself. But, in a nutshell, it's an exploration of the various actions that not only set the apocalypse in motion but how each character's journey took them to the moment of being able to save the world.

I also wanted to show a little of who these boys are and why they do what they do. During discussions with counteragent I found it interesting to discover that the boys are all about saving families and yet in saving the world they destroyed their own. There's a little section in the vid dedicated to this side on them.

Enough blab. :D

No money made but comments are gratefully and warmly accepted. <333

Hi. I'm so glad you thought so.

And thank you so much for the rec. I work up to some lovely new comments this morning. Great way to start the day.

Absolutely fantastic! I'm such a sucker for action videos and this one hit the right spot! I'll have to admit to being a fair bit of a lurker when it comes to comenting these days but this video (and the realisation when looking back through your other vieos that I happen to have watched and loved many of your previous works) finally kicked me into commenting. All your work is amazing and if it's okay I'd love to friend you to make sure I don't miss anything in the future. There's no obligation to friend back if you don't wish to, however I thought it polite for me to at least ask first. :)

Hi there,

Thank you so much for de-lurking to leave a comment. *g* Thank you for your very kind words. And please feel free to friend. <333

That? Kicked ass. I absolutely loved it. Not familiar with the song at all, so it was neat to hear a 'new' song from an old favorite that worked *so* perfectly for these boys and their story.

Dl'ing, thank you so much!

Thank you so much hun. I hadn't heard of the song either so when I first heard it I was immediately inspired. I couldn't believe how well it matched the boys' stories.

Thanks so much for your comment.

Hi darling! This was rec'd here at crack_impala :D

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hi sweetie! Thanks so much... I did see that and was thrilled to see such a lovely rec for the vid.

Astounding!

Thank you so much! <3

Ohh, this is awesome! ♥♥♥

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! :D

This is really great both technically and in the way it shows the characters struggling in this larger uncaring, decaying world. It's also convinced me that I need to bite the bullet and watch season five properly despite how massively depressing it is. So thanks for that too.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hi,

thank you so much for your feedback. :D

Yes, yes... bite the bullet. It is depressing but for me it felt "lighter" than season 4. At least they're heading toward the same goal. S4 they were moving further and further apart... S5 they were moving closer and closer together.

Another wonderful, detailed comment. Thank you.

This one was quite a challenge, but one I thoroughly enjoyed. Outside footage presents it's own kind of challenge so I'm so glad you felt that worked. I was keen to bring some of "our" world into the SPN 'verse to give it some connection.

Thank you again for your thoughtful comment. <3

I just have to tell you how much I love this video! I have watched it five times already.

I love the pausing and changing to black and white at each "wrong." I love how there's like separate parts in the video for each member of Team Free Will, showing their journeys and their mistakes. And I love the way Sam's part starts where the song says "there's something wrong with me." Aw, Sammy! I love the oblivious world - and the scenes with a bunch of people the boys have saved.

It's beautifully done!
