Thanks, and omg, I love that your husband watches fanvids. Where can I get one of those?

LOL, Jo!

Well, he only watches the ones I show him, and since I don't want to over do it and show him so many that he stops agreeing to watch them, I have to be really picky about the ones I do show him. So, I guess in a way it's kind of a weird compliment that I showed it to him and he loved it!

Teehee!!!

(((HUGS)))

WOW! Absolutely stunning!! You are one of my vidding idols, you dare to take challenges with new ideas, use amazing beat use and lyric interpreation wrapped in one creative vid hehe. I absolutely loved the story you told..everything going back..Kate with Sawyer..wow!

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you like my vids! And yeah, the song is fantastic. I first heard it on Harper's Island and fell in love with it. Like ridiculous have-it-on-repeat-while-working-out love. The storyline of the vid just fell into place in my head while I listened to it, though I had to do some serious rearranging, moving the chorus and cutting here and there to make it all fit.

Aw, that's so awesome. I'm strangely flattered, haha.

Zohhhh

Muhhhh

GOSH!!!

Seriously, that could NOT have looked more professional or been more brilliant and spectacular! That has got to be one of the best vids, hands down, that I've ever seen. And I'm somebody as well who has literally seen thousands and thousands of vids by now, too! That was just utterly, jaw-droppingly amazing!

*downloads immediately* Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!!! *applause, throws flowers* ♥♥♥!!!

Hmm, the cut thing is a bit long-winded to explain, haha, and should have a thread of its own with screencaps and things, but basically it's about setting the compositing mode to cut on one grid and the one below it to "make compositing child", and then you can cut out bits from the compositing grid with the help of psd pics added to the cut grid. I'm really botching this explanation, aren't I? It's actually quite simple once you've got the hang of it.

If you ever feel like doing a tutorial on that, we'd LOVE to have it! ♥!

Thank you for this amazing feedback, I can't tell you how happy it made me. I'm so glad people like this vid!

Thank you! I'm glad you liked the scene with them in bed, it's one of my favourites too!

[eloramoon]

Congratulations on winning the contest, Jo!

[Devera]

Congratulations on your win, you definitely deserved it.

I have watched this vid soooo many times since I last commented, that I'm not even sure the number of times. I keep finding little things that I like each time I watch it.

I just have to add some praise for a few of my favorite parts
-Sawyer and Kate in bed together--awww
-Jack seeing the news on TV "dammit"
-Jack stalking her and asking her to go out to coffee when they have had almost zilch interactions, both scary and hilarious in that dark humor sort of way at the same time
-how you really edited Jack's downward spiral so brilliantly and integrated it with Kate and Sawyer's happy life together (particularly Jack calling Kate and the temper tantrum in the maternity ward locker room)
-Jack breaking in and Ana Lucia being called
-Sawyer feeling bad about being away and Kate's reaction
-and then of course the brilliant ending flash sequence, which really, none of us can say enough about because they are just that plain amazing

[Jo]

Thanks, guys!

Devera, I'm glad you liked Ana Lucia's cameo. I just had to put her in there - poor AL gets no love.

[nightdancer342]

Wow, Amazing. That was some phenomenal editing work with all of the manipulations and audio editing. Great job! Congrats on winning first, you deserve it!

[aradnea]

OMG. How did I miss it? It's breathtaking. So brilliantly edited. Such a great story. Damn. I'm totally floored. I have to watch that again.

[FrecklesPhoenix]

I just wanted to come back and say again how much I absolutely love this video. It's definitely one of my favorites of all time ever! You definitely deserved to win. Awesome.
