I can't believe I'm the first to comment on this fantastic video! Great AU/Crossover, (not that you aren't brilliant at that anyway) this video is exceptional! I really loved the storyline, it was well told, and that non-LOST footage you tied in worked wonderfully (I don't watch Gossip Girl, so I don't know the context of any of the guy's scene's). Really good manipulation. For some reason at the end I was waiting for the coveted Kingdom Hospital shot of Evie in the coffin... but even though it didn't come the video ended amazingly (albeit sadly)! GOLD. _________________ Avi by Debbie Banner by CDS1...

Wow Freya! I knew I was in for a treat when I saw you had submitted a vid for the contest and I also knew before I watched that it would very original and I was right! I loved Kate finding love with that hot young guy! They were perfect and I found it interesting that she was very content yet Jack felt something was missing the entire time. Very thought provoking...hmmm. My favorite part of the entire thing was the crash when her b/f sees her lying in the rode! The way you used that pic looked so convincing! And then I loved when Sarah asked Jack why he was so upset about not being able to save Kate...and then how he couldn't stay away from the funeral and it ruined his marriage! All fabulously thought out and crafted! And the ending Wow! I think you have a great shot of winning this contest! But good luck anyway!! _________________

GUH! I'm speechless! Absolutely awesome vid Freya!!! The story-line is so damn brilliant and all your scene manips were spot on, it was all so believable! I really loved Jack talking to Sarah at the beginning. All the scenes with Kate and that bloke were brilliant and the whole story with those two, especially the crash scene and the manip of her lying on the ground! Fantastic! Your beat use was awesome and the ending was just...epic! Wonderful work *applauds* |

Such an amazing video!
I think the idea is really good and you pulled it off really well
I loved the chuck/kate storyline best, they looked great together!
The ending was very sad but amazing especially the clip of both the guys about to jump and kate's voice - worked very well.
great video!
good luck in the contest |

Great job, Freya!
It was honestly a little hard for me to watch Kate with a guy who is so much younger/younger looking. It made me a bit squeamish at first, but despite feeling uncomfortable about it, I totally understood the choice once I saw everything that happened later on in the vid. I thought the story was awesome, the manips were amazing, and I liked the parallel between Jack and the other guy at the end. Very well done!!! |
