Details etc.? Out of the stuff I'd made before I posted anything here, I thought that was the best by a good deal, so I'm curious what killed it (am suspecting that it's length that did it in, as I had the whole song, no cuts, and that was going on five minutes.)

Either that or people don't click with my stuff, which judging from the relative dearth of comments is a possibility, heh.

pretty much sorry, but when it's that long, it has to be brought, and be absolutely awesome the whole way through to keep a viewer's attention.

But it had a climax etc., and cutting it would have taken away the feel that it is indeed a slow, somber song (it can't be either if it's whittled away to 3 minutes.)

Maybe it's just not a filmable song, but I thought the lyrical correlation to Sayid was pretty striking, and liked a good deal of the cinematography in it, so it seems to me that a four-minues-and-change song wouldn't have broken the bank, really. Subject matter was rather grim, of course, but hell, it was eerily close to the real thing, so I thought that would win it some points.

Ah well. I know you at least like the vids I've got in progress (especially the second), so hopefully that's a good sign.
