Awesome vid!

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :)

That was really awesome. The song is so great and so perfect for Sam and it all flowed really well. :D

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Thank you! The song popped up on my mp3 player and it just seemed to tell the whole story. Glad you liked it. :)

What an awesome song for Sam's story! And it Lamb!! \o/

This was wonderful Lizzie. Some gorgeous editing - love that slow white out at 1.51. Also the fast paced editing at the end to match Sam's decent into some sort of madness. And the last clip... *sobs*

Thank you! I couldn't believe how well the song just seemed to tell the story. :D

[lark_ascends]

Very well done.

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Why, thank you! :)

Niiiiiiice. That song is crazily perfect, and you did it major justice! Wow, looking at all the things Sam did in order to destroy the world... it's no wonder he's feeling so wrecked about it now, poor baby. :(

Oh I know,seriously! *hugs Sammy* Thank you! I'm really glad you liked it. :)

Great song! Love the attention to tempo throughout, esp. those intense moments.
I hope your muse continues to be kind, it's good to see you vidding again *hugs*

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon! It's fun to be vidding again. I had to make this one, the song was so perfect, but it was long! omg!lol

My brain is attempting to vid angels now. :)

I really love the clips and pacing for the "OOOH" sections and just generally really great match for song lyrics.

As a side note, do you recommend BAM vault as a good streaming place that doesn't go around taking vids down?

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. :D

Right now, BAM is fine, but it is a Ning site and in August this little gem appeared: Ning Video Site Being Hit With Takedown Notices (http://community.livejournal.com/vidding/1962421.html). While BAM wasn't the group being hit with notices, they certainly aren't quiet about allowing use of copyrighted clips and songs in fan vids. So, no, they don't take stuff down, but it is entirely likely that someone will start making them take stuff down in the future.

Please forgive my manners....I don't usually lurk (though I'm not online all the time), and I do try to comment before adding people, but I goofed yesterday.

Hi, I'm Ten. This is lovely. I really love your parallels and transitions.

I'm a bit behind on my vid watching, but I've seen your work through ash48, and wanted to keep up going forward.

I've been adding a few new vidders to my reading list in preparation for next year's WinCon, which will be multifandom. (I put together the vid show.)

Just wanted to say hi, so you don't wonder about the new stranger.

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Oh hai! *waves*

Thanks for saying hi. Strangers don't bother me, though they don't always get added back. If you're mostly interested in the vids I may leave you to freely lurk. The F-lock stuff is really mundane. lol If you want under the f-lock just hint and I'm pretty okay with that these days too. :P

Re; the vid. Thank you. It took me forever to finish this one and It's not quite what I wanted from it, but I still liked the final product. :)

I've often wonders how people possibly choose vids for vid shows. I'd find it terribly hard to cut down a short list. Good luck!

Cheers
Lizzie

I usually try to interact with the folks on my reading list, but I've been so busy lately that I tap in less frequently than I'd like. If/when we get to know each other well enough that you're comfortable to add me, that's fine, but I won't take offense to lurk the public posts.

It can definitely be challenging to narrow down the listings for a vid show, especially since we solicit some directly while others are presented for consideration by vidders. There's so much talent in fandom! Hope to include some of your work this year.

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Thanks! You'd certainly have my permission to use any vids if you wanted to. :)

I don't know if you're a member of spnvidrecs, but we're just getting it back off the ground. It could be a good spot to peruse for good vids too. :)

[tenaciousmetoo.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I *am* a member, actually. Will check it out.

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

I didn't look before commenting, obviously! lol
