Aw, dammit, now I miss Jacket. Wonderful video! I've been working on a vid with this song for ages, but I just can't decide on the editing. Love the etheral thing you've got going here, though, it works so well for Juliet's storylines and scenes, she's such an epic character. The mix between black-and-white and coloured clips works great, l especially love the editing between 1:00 and 1:14. Great choice of song, btw, especially for this character, and you did a superb job matching the lyrics to the clips.

Wow! That was gorgeous! Best Juliet vid ever! I'm serious! I"m off to youtube to fav this after I finish this comment. I loved the scenes you chose and how you blended them so beautifully with the music. My favorite part was the "Take a look at my body, look at my hands" Gave me chills. And I loved how you had her sister as the "Angel, love of her life." I really hope Juliet can see her again. Its so sad. Fab work!

That was absolutely FANTASTIC you should be SO proud of yourself! This is the only video that is genuinely made me well up with tears, it really shows how lonely and tragic Juliet's character is. The overlays were stunning and I actually was quite impartial to Jacket JUST FOR THIS VID! It really shows the poignancy of her loves and losses, particularly the scenes that you used with her sister. Just INCREDIBLE! Seriously. Gold. And most defo faved at YT!!!!

As I said on YT, inspiring editing skills. The coloring, transitions, everything was just perfectly used...the mix of transitions...everything! I loved the way you studied HER without focusing solely on Jacket/Suliet. F/F at YT and Gold here!

This was SO beautiful. You captured Juliet perfectly in one video. Every overlay, every split screen, every beat change, all worked so well. I loved this so much!
