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

This has been sitting in a tab for two weeks, and I finally got a chance to watch it and respond and...OH MY GOD. Ash. You just took the song that is responsible for all my Sam defensiveness the last two years (seriously, the amount of Sam vids vidded to this song in S4 completely nonironically kinda just made me want to pummel things), and you used it with Dean and Castiel in this AMAZING TEAM FREE WILL THREE PEOPLE POV and you redeem them all because they saved the world! Times Square still gets to exist, and people still get to walk to work and live life. BECAUSE OF THESE FLAWED BUT STUBBORNLY AWESOME CHARACTERS. I LOVEEEEEEE IT.

Seriously though, structure wise alone, this thing is excellent. I never would have thought something like this would work, with the three different POV sections but the way you brought it together for one massive Team Free Will FTW, just makes it work! PERFECTLY.

Also, I really loved the compassion for the people they’ve saved part, since I feel like the show has kinda lost track of showing that itself anymore, you know? It was a small section, but it brought sewed the beginning and ending caps together well!

Yay! *beams*

Thank you so much hun. I can't tell you how happy I am with your feedback. :)

You can thank smilla02 for the idea. When she suggested the song she wanted all three characters used. She wanted me to show how their wrongs led to them doing the right thing in saving the world. I was thrilled with the song choice and had the structure pretty much worked out after I'd listen to it a bit (I hadn't heard it before. I didn't realise how many times it had already been vidded). Because she mentioned them "saving the world" I wanted to somehow show the world that they saved. Without the world ever knowing about it.

Also, I really loved the compassion for the people they’ve saved part, since I feel like the show has kinda lost track of showing that itself anymore,

Yeah. We don't see that much any more do we? Such a shame because it was their driving motivation for so long. Before it all became so grand. It was something counteragent said about them saving families that helped me decide on that section.

I'm so happy you had a chance to take a look. Thanks again for your wonderful feedback. I really appreciate it. <333
