I looooove this song Sophie! Good job! That was really cute. I like how you worked with the beat in the beginning. I made a music video to this song too but I didn't want to deal with the beat in the beginning. Good job with some of the tricky lyrics...although I wish you would have used different scenes each time for the dancing at disco and cheese on toast lines. But still very cute vid!

*offers her two cents* I find that when a song has difficult lyrics like that, especially when they repeat many times through the song, you just have to interpret them in some other way (like showing other shots of food for the "cheese toast" like Juliet lifting the lid and revealing the hamburger) or just something to cover the line as best you can. Sometimes there's just not a perfect clip for a line when it repeats like that so you just wing it the best you can!

Now, that said, this was so cute! I LOVED your beat use all the way through but especially at the start! You handled that really, really well! *applause* And I loved how you got the picture to turn while leaving the background (I know how tricky that can be! ). The "I love Jules" was just too cute as well, awwwww! Also loved that shot of Ben with the flowers on her porch that went with the lyrics and the whole section about "sitting in restaurants!" There's nothing better than a sort of happy, upbeat Ben vid (well, I guess it wasn't too happy and upbeat since they didn't really end up happily ever after *sigh* ) but it still had a happy, peppy feel!

Enjoyed it a bunch! I always look forward to your new vids! (And what a great icon, by the way! ) ♥!

thanks for the tips. i have to admit i was too lazy to search for clips LOL ive been on a downer this week. But this vid cheered me up, its very fluffy cute. I tried to make it so it was like a picture book looking into there world. I found the beginning bit matching the beats quite easy to do.
I thought a lot of my vids are ben chasing the girls. So i thought this time it can be the girl chasing ben lol

ha ha @ my icon LOL i do like to make animated ben one's
