Loved it Nikki! The ending literally had me spooked and I loved it! Fantastic work, it just was so perfectly done. it's my fave vid of yours, so hope you make many more like it! The voice over choices were great as well. The story was clear, to me anyway. Fantastic storyline as well, very unique and original so gold for sure!

Thanks Amy! I'm glad the ending came off well enough! I was hoping for that but the audio was a little iffy at the end so I wasn't sure

Thanks for gold!!

wooooooowwww!!! nikki this is an epic!!!

Charlotte and Ana totally WORK as a couple!!! you created a brilliant story, I loved it so much, how both worlds were kinda following the same path in a way, with Ana dying and Charlotte dying in respective worlds, and When they both 'died' at the end it snapped them back to meeting each other, and changing things, hopefully, for the better.

FAB work! Possibly my new fave of yours

Oh it is beautiful - I love the manipulated scenes - it's so tragic but beautiful. I think it's great how you incorporated actual story lines in lost with the non-canon ones of their relationship. Brilliant, hun. x x x

This is brilliant in so many ways. I won't even mention the manips, which are great, but man... The depth of this video amaze me. This story is so sad. Going through all the same mistakes and tragic events over and over again. And like you said it's open for interpretation, so I think it's Ana's hell (for all the bad things she's done) and she can never get it right. She will always have to watch Charlotte die, because that's what really happened. But that's just me and my love for tragic endings

Over all this video left me speechless at first. I had to take a day to think about it and this is the true worth of it, really got me thinking

And btw, creepy creepy song.

Thanks Ali! Well the inspiration for this video came from the movie Triangle. (which you should watch btw

) and that is where the music is from as well. And what you said about the vid...well thats pretty much what I think too. It's Ana's hell and even though she tried to change things at the end I think Charlotte is just going to die some other way.

I love every second of it, you did such a great job with scenes choice. I really like this twisted, dark and sad story. You beautifully shown the way they take care of one another.
