Really liked the quick clip changes to the beat and thought the ending was a superb twist. Great job!

I commented on YouTube, but here ya go. I'll add some more too -

Tho I think it's kinda sick that Kate would be attracted to Jack again because he killed the man she was with (even tho she was cheating) the story was amazing and very well told. Very original, and the editing was amazing. The end also had an awesome twist. It was just very cool, how you made it look like the piano, and Kate's hotel room, and the others house and stuff we're int eh same place.

One thing that confused me, was it showed Jack and Kate burying 'Sawyer' then it showed them trying to revive him...that's all that confused me, but I could be totally blind and not have seen what you were trying to tell us.

Where was the audio from btw (in some parts it didn't soudn like it was from Lost)?

Niiiiice vid...

This song is quite catchy and I love how you followed the Maroon 5 vid (especially since the lipsyncing with the dialogues were really believable). All of the manipulated scenes were very good and I loved the ending as well. [spoiler:ea64f480ba](They really DO look like they're in the same room where Jack's with the piano and Kate in the hotel room and the cop/Others intrusion worked brilliantly)![/spoiler:ea64f480ba]

Like Sassy though, I did have a problem with Jack first killing and burying Sawyer and then trying to revive him. That didn't seem to flow too well.

Other than that, great editing (loved the beat use) and story. Very good work!!!

P.S. Could you tell me where the clip of Kate in bed is from (at 2:54)? Just curious...

Thanks for the comments. I really do appreciate them cause I spent a stupidly long time on this.
I know her falling for him again cause he killed her lover was kinda sick but I was trying to follow the Maroon 5 video and I couldn't think of my own original story cause I'm dumb. And yeah, I know what you mean about the burying and the reviving but it was the only way it fit with the music and the lyrics really so I kinda just screwed with the order of things a bit. Oh, and the audio at the beginning and the middle was from the original Marron 5 video. Their voices sounds really similar though huh?
I was gonna put a full description of the story in a comment but I'm not sure it needs it. If anyone can't follow it, then just see Youtube for a ridiculously detailed plot description.
Cheers for the comments again

The bit where Kate's asleep in bed is from a really small part she had on Kingdom Hospital. You can download it from evangeline-lilly.net

OMG! Noooo! I actually just watched it through for like, the first time and the end's all screwed up. I spent ages making it sound like she sobs "I love you too" then you hear two gun shots like they've been excecuted. I'm peeved!

But.. well.. ok, just use your imagination and imagine those sounds at the end ok? Ta
