I added that "Beautiful transitions" comment. It really does! I don't know what program that is, nor the effects that are possible in there, but whether that was an easy thing to do or a painstaking thing to do, it was a nice touch. Loved the entire opening. Though that song gets on my nerves LOL

That was absolute awesome. With my lack of attention span it's difficult to keep me on most videos over three minutes in length and I had no problems with your video at all. Very well done.

The transitions were perfect. The beat syncing to the video was perfect. Content in relation to the lyrics and visual images were perfect.

Great job!! Why is there only one video by Rocksiren? Why?!?

That was beautiful! I wasn't so hot about it in the beginning, but the middle and the end totally blew me away. Great job.

It also helped that I've just discovered how much I love that song!

when you send them, is there any way you could just email us the file rather than send the link? For some strange reason, there's a veeeerrrry slow connection to your site, and the videos take an hour or two to download! Even the pictures take a couple minutes

HOLY SLOW WEBSITE BATMAN!! Yeah, totaly slooooowwww. But dying for another video by you so I will wait.

Sorry! I didnt realize it, Ill just email you guys the file- I really had no idea! Maybe my hostess have overextended her server. Maybe I should go back to the zipped, text only version of the wsite.

I don't post a lot here, but I just had to mention how much I apsolutely LOVED this video. It was, by far, probably the best music video I have seen ANYWHERE. Not just for Lost, but for anything. Amazing job!

***Honestly, really really touched. Thanks Trish!***

Yeah okay I scaled it down and everything is zipped now.

Thats direct. Sorry, I am definitely going to contact my host. She had some horrible trouble with Verizon before, maybe its something like that.

Finally got around to actually watching this video (that's the problem with accessing this site at work, I can read all the feedback about how awesome the vids are but can't actually WATCH them until I get home!). And I'm EXTREMELY impressed. Every single part worked beautifully and you chose some really good clips that I hadn't even remembered seeing in the show until I watched your vid. Nice use of transitions as well. GREAT job!

Which one is the new one? I know I saw RTI, and I was going to try one before but had connection problems. Now that the site seems faster I can't recall which one I'm supposed to be downloading.

Loved this one. Awesome transitions, and the song is the perfect theme for a Lost video.

I love this vid. It's one of my all time favorites. I was just wondering what program you used to get those transitions in the beginning? That part was really fun to watch!

This is one of my favorite songs and when I saw this vid I had to check it out.

I liked the extra introduction you kept for this song. It matches so well with your clip choices. The dissolve transitions looked decent (which is an effect I don't normally like but it worked nicely in your vid).

The clip choice and the timing of the transitions showed a great deal of work and thought with no "filler clips" that I could see. Every clip was significant. The only minor technical error was a bit of extraneous scene at 3:02.

I really liked the whole vid but the water sequences were my favorites.

I'm beginning to realize there are a lot of gems in this video goldmine. This would definately work as a theme for Lost if they allowed 4 minutes for credits.

Excellent video.
