Ais, you know I think this is stunning! I really love the repetition of "is three years long enough?" at the start and end of the vid, and how the clip of Kate and Sawyer goes to a sepia/yellowy tone when the song goes "and they were all yellow". Really cute and pretty vid! The still frames were also pretty awesome! And the "no" at the end - awww! Lovely job

That was so sweeet Ais! And I LOVED your beat use in the scene when she threw him a banana. Very inventive!

Gold from me!

Jemma: Thank you so much, hon!

I'm so glad you liked it! This was the first time I've tried using color gradients to control the coloring (everything is actually black and white except for the final "and they were all yellow" which was in color with a brighter yellow gradient

). Baby Vegas doesn't have much in the way of compositing but I wanted to try it out and see what I could do with it.

[/long explanation is looooong]

Thanks again! ♥!

Nikki: Aw, thank you so much!

That banana bit was one of the first I put in and I was really hoping it would work, so I'm so glad to hear you thought it did!

And I've definitely been wanting to make just a sweet sort of Skate vid for a while (I'm going to lose some of my Skater street cred if I don't vid them a bit more often, lol!

). Thanks again! ♥!

Debbie: Yay!

Thanks so much! I'm so glad it gave you some happy Skatey smiles!

I've wanted to change his answer to that "is three years long enough?" question for SO long, that was the first thing I worked on when I decided on this idea and song, lol! I was just tickled to find a "no" where his tone fit with the question!

(It wouldn't have had quite the effect I was hoping for if he would've bellowed it, lol!

) Thanks again!

♥!

Aislynn! *hugs tightly*

This was absolutely amazing. Again, thank you so much for making this for me, I am so pleased, it put a smile across my face that lasted throughout the entire video.

Awesome song choice..hehe ..As you know, this is one of my favorite Coldplay songs, I was like "Dang, how did Aislynn know that?"

The coloring was very gorgeous and suited the song well because of it's yellow tint. Aw and your use of the still frames were absolutely lovely! Thank you soooooooooo much for giving this wonderful present to me!

Kate! *squishes you* You are SO welcome! I'm just so tickled that you liked it!

\o/

This is one of my fav songs of theirs so I was really happy that it turned out to be one of yours as well!

I've been wanting to do just a sweet sort of little Skate vid (and to try out some coloring, too

) for a while now, so it was a bunch of fun to do!

Thank you so much for all of your kind words! Have one more Merrrrrry Christmas for the road, lol!

*big hugs!* ♥♥♥!!!

Ahh LOVE IT

The voiceover at the end was a perfect way to end it! I loved how you started the memories in black/white and then later on the colors came

The song was awesome, and your lyric interpretation made it sooo skate-ish! Wonderfull vid!

This was SO brill Ais! I loved the quote you used at the beginning, and how you faded it from b+w to colour with that yellowy tint where the lyrics went "all yellow" Brilliant!

Twas lovely jubbily skatey goodness!!
