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

I'm still flailing like a flaily person, bb. It's what I had in mind and so much more and an epic look at the story of Dean and Sam, and then Castiel and how they did, indeed, save the world.

Like I told you in my fb, the part that moves me more is, in hindsight, and considering where they all are this season, how they are completely messed up after, screwed and still in pain and losing so much, but the world at least has been saved to live another day. Even if their sacrifices never get a recognition, that must count for something.

Again, thank you for picking this prompt and running with it in such a wonderful way. I've been waiting a long time to see a video set to this song and you did a beautiful - epic - job with it. ♥

Also thanks to counteragent and maichan808 because I know they had a hand in this. ♥

Oh honey. Your reaction has meant the world to me. <33

It's interesting looking back on what they did in relation to where they are now. They're still suffering. And badly - but they did their job. It always strikes me how sad it is that no one actually knows what they did. I seem to remember Sam getting shit from other hunters because he set Lucifer free and yet no one's coming forward to say.."hey, thanks for saving the world". But that is our heroes lot. At least we know about it. :D

*smishes you tight*

Oooh, meant to say...

Also thanks to [info]counteragent and [info]maichan808 because I know they had a hand in this. ♥

Yes. They very much did. And _sharvie_ too. And YOU! I'm incredibly lucky to have such amazing people to help me. My vidding is never insular. There's this saying (that's actually on a tile on my bathroom wall believe it or not - one we inherited..) "Use not only all the brains you have but all that you can borrow". Hee. I think I live by that... *g*

"Use not only all the brains you have but all that you can borrow". Hee. I think I live by that... *g*
And that's why we get along so well, honey, because that's a motto I live by. Really, why use only your brain if you can borrow even more? ;D

*facepalms* My apologies to ♥! Teach me to read better and be less flaily in my comments.
