Maybe I should have make a single thread of all my non-Lost vids... Oh well!!

I think this one might be my best vid ever! Thanks again to jellyfrog for making that beautiful graphic! (And you might remember this song from Michelina's jacket vid)

Title: Before the Dawn
Song and Artist: Before the Dawn by Evanescence
Fandom/Pairing: Battlestar Galactica, Kara & Lee
Size/Lenght: 37MB/3:15
Warnings: clips up to Crossroads part II, very spoilery.
Notes: I would strongly recommend downloading! Youtube is not being nice to the effect-heaviness of this vid.

This is one of the most beautiful vids (not just of BSG vids but of ALL vids) I've ever seen in my life! ♥♥♥!!!

I truly got goosebumps several places along, particularly when

Spoiler:

This is a perfect example of how meticulous but subtle beat use can take a great vid and make it truly magnificent! All of the movements, even the little ones, hitting right with the music... That was just masterfully crafted and executed! This is the way effects are supposed to be handled, where they create the story and the mood rather than detract from them in any way.

A truly amazing vid! I can't recommend it highly enough, whether you're a BSG fan or just a fan of exceptional, professional-level vidding. ♥!

I know I already commented on this vid, but let me just say again how beautiful this was: It was sooooooooooooooo beautiful!!!

The effects and the editing were just stunning. I loved the colouring and all the great masking and split-screens. But I agree with Ais, the effects didn't take over the story. It was very emotional and I had goose bumps all over. It made me want to see some more BSG episodes (I've only watched a few so far).

Brilliant vid, Cinthia!!
