She always loved him. Yet the more awful lies she hears about him, the more she is compelled to believe them. Ethan only wants to plead his case. But what happens when the very goodness he wants so eagerly to tell her about is seen as crazed and demented?

*screams* Eclaire vid! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome beat use and I loved the moody atmosphere! Aw, poor Ethan, he was just all misunderstood...

I'm SO saving this one!

And you certainly didn't have to thank me but you're very welcome for my bit of encouragement!

*more screaming* Yay!!!!!!!!!!

Aww, my first comment. Thanks so much, Aislynn.

I'm really glad you liked it. Yes, the moody atmosphere worked perfectly for this vid (you can always count on Muse for versatile music, yet music that just WORKS in any situation

). Thanks so much for the compliment on beat use. It was pretty tricky, but I tried my best - glad to see it didn't go unnoticed.

For judges and anyone watching this:

PLEASE DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE PICTURE QUALITY OF THIS VID. IT WAS THE DIRE CONSEQUENCES OF OVER-RENDERING.

If everyone could just try to look past that, I'd be eternally happy.

Enjoy, all!

Aww, you just made me so sad over the ending of this!

Poor Ethan! I think you slightly converted me there. In other words, it was really awesome.

I noticed the bad picture quality near the beginning but then figured it was probably an artistic intention. I also noticed the great beat use. Ah, Claire and Ethan is such a tragic love story, isn't it? You really brought it out with this video. Plus I love Muse.

Look at me...shivers up and down.

GOOSEBUMPS all over! Not alot of people know I'm a closeted Eclaire fan, and you've captured their twisted, dark relationship perfectly. Perfect songs, perfect clips...

Still have shivers.

10 out of 10 Apollo Bars...

You did an awesome job setting up the atmosphere.

First off, wow! A gold council pick! I really didn't expect one ... at all. Thank you so much, Council Members. You've made my day!

DS, you thought the bad picture quality was artistic? Well, you're completely right. Haha! *tries to play off her awful computer skills as intentional* Well, I'm just happy they weren't so terrible that you guys couldn't enjoy the vid. Thanks. And hell, yes, Muse rocks!

Lostaway, thanks so much for your compliment! I'm glad you liked my vid (I love your David Bowie Eclaire trailer thing!) Thanks for the candy, too - *eats up my yummy Apollo Bars*

Karolina, thanks so much for your comment on my beat use. I'm always deadly afraid of beat use because WMM just FREAKS when it sees quick cuts and has a mind of its own!

But thank you for the reassurance! I'm glad you liked it, even if it was a bit creepy (well, Ethan IS in it, so it has to veer that way just a tad

). I hope this Muse song makes you consider vidding a certain other Muse song with Jin and Sun ... hmm... just kidding.

You did a great job with Fading Like a Flower, I love Starlight, and I need a fluffy Jun fix, but I can't pressure you.

Heather and cylune, thanks for the editing review - that seems to be my biggest problem. Thanks, as well for setting up the atmosphere (though, I have to give a lot of credit to the 3 awesome guys that is Muse for that).

THAT was really good! I enjoyed that a lot. You did a great job with all the clips and the effects. The whole idea was just really cool! I rarely can watch a video in it's entirety without becoming bored (even with my own vids)LOL. Very well done!!!

I really liked this one! I think PC is a vidder after my own heart- let the story take you, not a ton of effects.

oh I just...*sigh* That was so well done, such a great EClaire vid. I loved the beat use you used and how you made the vid have a creepy atmosphere but not just making Ethan out to be a complete psycho.
