I've already said this on the other board, but yes, this video does indeed rock. The song is awesome. The effects and transitions used are awesome. You took a song with some challenging lyrics and turned it into yet another 4Lad masterpiece.

Wow! Awesome vid! I'm always impressed with vidders who can take a song that seems impossible and make it work. And I love how all your vids are always RIGHT on with the beats. Great job!

Yeah I downloaded it then left the FB about 10 minutes after so it worked for me!

I finally got the link to work.. it wouldn't connect in FF but worked in IE. Strange indeed. Anyway,

this was great! Awesome job - this vid had feeling. Numerous perfectly timed expressions and actions. Amazing. The effects were used sparingly and well. I guess the one thing I could have done without was the 'collapsing screen' transition which was a bit distracting. The others were seamless and really enhanced the video. Nice job once again!

Nice vid!

I liked the song, clip choices and the side squeeze effect into a vertical line to close some of the scenes. The sepia sequence was my favorite at 3:06 - 3:26. l

The part I don't understand is the whitewash (lowered contrast clips). I'm not trying to be difficult. I just don't understand why you use this effect when it seems to detract from the beauty of the normal contrast clips.

Thanks for the vid Laura.

It's funny - the droping contrast cips didn't bother me at all and MoreLight liked the effect that I hated.

I guess you really can't please everyone.

I really wasn't trying to be mean or pick on the vid. I wanted to know what kind of mood or feelings you were aiming for. I'm always looking for new ideas so I can apply them to my own vids.

I agree that the only people you 100% please with your own vids are the ones who had a hand in the design.

I'm still curious as to what the significance of whitewashes is.

Yep, that's the basic rule in any creative endevor. Make exactaly what you would want to see and hope everyone else wants to see that too.
