YES!!

That was the best video ever! Everything was great!

Best parts were Artz exploding on the beat, the dinosaur, and the Coca Cola ending!

A+++ So much better than 'Trigger Happy'

LMAO. That was awesome Warren. l Loved the part where it said "All virgo's are extremely friendly and intelligent,
EXCEPT FOR YOU!"--> Shannon. LOL.

And the whole Charlie part. Aww...such a cute little heroine-addicted, quick tempered, sharp-tongued, heirloon-stealing, prostitute-loving hobbit!!!...LOL
Great Job Warren.

Dude!!! FINALLY!!!

That was GREAT!! So many awesome moments! The Hurley lovin thing rocked! There were just so many great things. I loved how you took a seemingly unviddable song (to Lost anyway) and edited in a way that made it look like all these crazy things were happening (ie. Sun hurling a javelin thru Jin's chest!).

GREAT job, well worth the wait!

Glad it was worth the wait I cheated so many times in this! random things... animation (whuich takes a very long time, btw ... go figure?) and misuse of lyrics!
For instance, Kate is a Gemini... but that other scene she's in just works so much better!
And that "javelin" is actually a shotput in here.... *cough cough* but oh well! LOL

As long as it's as goofy as possible, and it made people either laugh or say "awesome!" I'm extemelly happy

I did both. I was on when it up and within the first minute I saw it. I was already watching it.

Javelin, shot put, whatever, it's works great!

I watched this, then I went back and watched it again because I missed some of the things because I was laughing so hard!

I LOVED how you matched something out of each of the Zodiac sign lyrics to a particular character: Michael is Aquarius, Kate is Cancer (yay, that's my sign! I was hoping I'd get a "cool" character! 'Cause the rest of the time it basically sucks to say that my sign is a terrible disease... ), as opposed to just randomly throwing in clips that basically fit the lyrics but changed characters. If that long run-on sentence makes any sense!

That was just amazing! One of my absolute particular favs was the dinosaur chasing Kate and Jack! Because, come on, how many people thought when they saw that pilot ep that the monster was going to be a dinosaur, right? That was just too hysterical!

Okay, I admit, I just went back and watched it again, right here in the middle of my review! The animation in this is SO killer! I have no idea how you're doing that!

And how I loved the polar bear drinking the Coke at the end! Oy! I'm speechless. I'm at a loss for words! See, look, here I am:

"..."

Totally speechless! Doesn't happen often so you know I'm impressed! A fun and fabulous vid! Great job!

~Aislynn

PS - Yes, Kate IS a Gemini but I'm glad you used some "creative license" in this case!

Why is the vidder stuck with stupid Sayid? .
His is the ONLY verse in this video that's actually true LOL
And if oyu noticed, those are clips from ET.... the stars say that he's an exiting and wonderful person... BUT THEY'RE LYING!

That run-on sentence of yours makes PERFECT sense, Aislynn That was my plan from day one, so in the starting phase, I took a copy of the lyrics, wrote down all 14 names, and played match-up. I was left with Boone and Walt as extras, which worked well, since Walt is just a kid, and Boone.... well he gets a nice little 3 seconds of tribute right before the polar bear comes...! LOL

All that animation.... well it comes from the extremelly long and boring process of taking every single frame and editing the dinosaur/polar bear into the pic I used the polar bear fro mthe original coca cola commercials, then just replaced the background in those scenes, and the dinosaur one only really had 2 good shots where it actually turned out well, which were the first and last time you saw it. The first one was a picture I found (VERY luckilly might I add!) and then I just copied the camera movement to mimic that of when Kate and Jack see Charlie hanging, so I had a sense of height of the piece (look at me! I'm sounding all technical and artistic! ) and that last scene (when the trex is just about to chomp down) I just had to pan him over a little each frame. MUCH easier than the rest >.< The rest, in my opinion, didn't turn out well at all, it was just way too jerky. But that's what I get for being lazy and trying to take the fast way out by just leaving the frames in longer instead of making twice as many! LOL

Yay Warren... this video was absolutely classic... just the way you made the clips work with the song was genius. It really shows how much time and effort you put into creating it. This vid was well worth the wait...

Now I'm hanging out even more for your 'My Immortal' vid... I'm sure that one will also be well worth waiting for.

Genius!!
