WOW ABBY! You really out did yourself on this one! I'm very amazed!

I love how haunted Ben is in this video...you did a beautiful job portraying that with your editing. I LOVED how you worked Juliet and Jack into and I got chills at the "mistakes they no nothing of." and you showed FF Jack...

Super effective! And then the ending was my absolute fav b/c it looked so awesome and the audio at the end was just too perfect and chilling!! Good luck in the contest although I don't think you need it!

oo Abby this is defintely my favourite of your videos. The audio at the beginning was really cool gonna have to tell me how you got the effects there cause I wanted to make it tinny sounded but had no clue before

Visually it was really pretty aswell and your beat use was cool. Didn't care for the repeating of clips at the end but I think I'm gonna go with gold

Great job!!

Oh wow you certainly have stepped up your game!!!!! Awesome job, makes my ben videos look naff compared LOL

Holy crap! What an overwhelming response!! I'm so glad you guys liked this one so much! This one was definitely a challenge, but it was a lot of fun too.

Nikki - Awwww! You are too sweet. I'm really glad you liked it. I really like how that line turned out as well - I'm so glad you totally got what I was going for!! Thanks for your comment!!

Kate - Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you liked it - dark and twisted ws what I was going for. Glad to know I accomplished that

Paul - Yay! I impressed you! I feel special now

I'm glad you liked the audio in the beginning, that was really fun to do. PM me and I'll tell you how. I don't know what version of Vegas you have, but if it's the 8.0 Pro, it's pretty easy to do. I'm sorry you didn't care for the repeating stuff at the end - my reasoning behind that one was basically to show how those events (alex, keamy, having to move the island) have impacted Ben more than anything else and keep repeating through his mind. I just thought it was cool

But I'm super glad you liked everything else

Foxy - Thanks so much!! Glad you enjoyed!

Sophie - Awwww!!

You're so sweet! I'm really happy you enjoyed. I can tell you too how I did the audio. Like I said, it's pretty easy. Btw - your Ben vids are totally awesome!! Especially your contest vid - I loved it!!

Buffy - Thanks so much!!

And thanks again everyone for your sweet comments!!

Wow wow wow! I don't usually watch Ben vids, but this one is pretty amazing! I loved the beginning and your beat use - it really got good at about 2:20! Gold of course!!

WOW that was totally awesome Abby, I LOVED it!

I think my favourite bits were the beginning with all the cool audio, and the bit at 2:12 with all the b&w flashy bits...ooh and the end was fab too!

Awesome beat use and colouring too...gold obv.

Great Ben character study! Loved the intro with that audio and the ending was also brilliantly done as well

wow! what a great ben video! i really loved the voiceovers at the beginning whilst he lay in bed and the very end with the juliet voiceover was clever too. just a beautiful and creepy vid that shows ben's character really well. Gold! xCfx
