Charlie and Claire break up and he cant get over her so he turns to alcohol. When he kills himself, Claire falls down the same path.

[littleton_pace]

Thanks Becca

[Uruviel]

Nice AU! The part where Jack read Charlie's note was really well-done!

[littleton_pace]

Thanks Heather!

That was so depressing. And sad. Very well constructed AU and nice lyric interpretation. You found the perfect clips to match each time. Well done.

[Aislynn]

So very sad but really nicely done! The AU was great and the lyric interpretations were fab!

[littleton_pace]

Aww!!! Great video!!! I'm crying right now, but it was SO good!!! And the parts where Jack read the note, Kate found Claire, and Sun saw PB&J walk off together!!! That's so sad!!! Great job matching clips to the lyrics!!! But what happened to Aaron??? I'm assuming Jack and Kate have him now. That's a really great AU vid!!!

[littleton_pace]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked it. I was going to have a lil scene of Jin and Sun with Aaron so ppl knew he was ok...perhaps I should

[Jemmz]

Reviewing by request:

I think the end part of the video was very strong. Some nice visuals: I liked the photograph, and I liked Charlie and Claire walking off, and the 'she put the bottle to her head and pulled the trigger' stuff with Claire and the injections.

Despite the country ballad thing, the video doesn't go sickly-sweet and syrupy (though it gets close every now and again), so that's good, as far as the tone of the video is concerned; you balanced the 'weight' of the video well, if you will. I didn't feel like you were shoving a ship down my throat or anything, so take that as a compliment.

The beginning part with all the talking bugged me, and I think a lot of the more striking camera shots and such were in the end, so there was a slight balance problem in that there was a slightly weaker start and stronger finish. However, I did like it, and despite being shippy and weepy, it didn't make me run screaming, so good job!

I certainly do take that as a compliment

Have to admit, I'm a fan of audio and i have been known to overuse. But watching it back, i can see what you mean. I kinda wish I had started it with lots of C/C yelling scenes. But that scene was meant to represent their final break up, the one that sent Charlie down the boozed up path. But Im grateful for your imput

one word; YAYS! :D

My net is being slow today but your vid is loading. ill comment as soon as its done

[thefilmchick]

It worked, as far as what it represented. Like, it made sense. Just seeing 'talk, talk, talk' was a little distracting, is all.

(Man, and that's a short video of mine, heh.)
