I knew you could pull it off!

Awesome job. The story was completely believable (especially without dialogue or lyrics helping you tell it). The scenes you chose really seemed to go with one another. I really liked it how you pulled off Mason reaping Charlie and then Charlie's death. Your editing was great too - I loved how you portrayed Ana's death (really poignant). I also really loved the ending - Shannon referring to Mason, of course, and not Walt. Very clever!

Great work! I'd love to see more DLM/Lost crossovers from you!

Yay, it's finally here! *throws confetti*

My absolute favorite part is the section with Ana. I love the sound/song at this point and I love the way you edited it!

I give you major props for trying something this bold and inventive with only WMM 1. That's kinda like heading off to fight a dragon while armed only with one of those flimsy coffee stirrer stick thingies...

I could never get my WMM 1 to quick-cut very well but you pulled it off here!

*throws more confetti* Great job!

WEE! Y'all like it?! I was getting nervous for lack of response

PC - More Lost/DLM crossovers? Hell, you don't have to ask twice...my only problem is that there's a ton of really great clips from Season One DLM that I'd like to use and I don't have any of those DVDs or episodes

I wish there was a place like this for DLM that I could find clips from... Thanks for the feedback!

PS, the soundbite at the end was Aislynn's idea--I had totally forgotten about that conversation between Shannon and Sayid. Good suggestion on her part, no?

Ais - Thank you! Ana's section is my favorite, too, honestly...it was also the part that took the longest, because it ended up being REALLY effing hard to do those flashes of dead Ana in between the other stuff. I had no idea it'd be as hard as it was...

I'm sort of scared to update to SP2 and WMM2 now that I've gotten so comfortable with WMM1...

Thanks for the feedback guys and once again, thanks for your clip assistance, Aislynn.

Wow, I love it! It's a very clever, well-done crossover, yes!

Now I'm going to be sad that this isn't canon...

Well done! *applause*

Very, very creative mistojen! I loved the notes you did for the different characters, some nice beat use in there too. I loved the AU scene in the room with Mason and Shannon. That worked really well. I think you did a fine job well done.

Why, thank you

I'm glad you liked.

The scene with Shannon and Mason in the room was my favorite to do. One of the ones I had in mind before I even officially started working on this vid.

Thanks for the feedback
