This was a cool vid, I liked your use of fades and saturation. I don't think I really understood it though. It looks like an ensemble vid... but I was wondering what was your character for the contest since this is an entry? You were supposed to pick one character and tell his or her story from the flashsideways, someone that we didn't know much about. Sorry if I didn't get it. I'll watch it again if you explain it to me.

You did a great job with the editing/lyric interpretation. I really loved the way some of the clips went from de-saturated to color. That was a nice effect, and I liked the way the slow-motion looked with the song. I really couldn't figure out how the video was relevant to the contest, though, and I didn't understand the story or the meaning of the Inception clips at the end. It was still enjoyable, though. Nice job!

True ,i wonder myself if the "no hero can save us " should compete .My entrance is based on the contest but not focused at a specific character.A bit allegoric, kind of mixed up , and unifide. I guess i tried to mirror the contest theme more than to explain it .

I had to watch this a second time before I appreciated the Inception twist at the end, which is actually quite cool!

I also liked how you handled the color and desaturation effects, it fit the dream-like theme very nicely.

I enjoyed it.

Loved the song choice! and I really like how you included almost every flashback character.
the black and white coloring changing to color at some points was a really nice touch. great job!
