Is there a translation comming for 'top-notch'? LOL And thanks a lot! I'm too nervous about this vid cos it ain't exactly what i intended it to be.

top-notch is just a way of saying "perfect"!

And if it wasn't what you intended it to be, I can only imagine how more awesome the vid would have been if you had gotten it how you had wanted it. I think it's fantastic as is!

I thought that was really awesome! The smoke effect was really well used here; i also liked how you showed the importance of rachel to juliet's life. The effects were really awesome; except then in some points it was like there were no effects at all which was a little odd. I really enjoyed it tho; great look at a great ep

good luck in the contest!

Great use of the smoke effect, and I liked how you had a separate set of coloring and effects for the flashbacks...loved some of the fun stuff you did with backwards/forwards and black and white.

First of all, thanks for taking time to watch it. After countless rewatching i do realize this ain't a good vid of mine (what i really love is the very beginning hehe)... As to the effects... well, lazy me. I thought that the watcher's eyes would have to get some rest before the next portion of the effect overload

(Or maybe i just couldn't keep up with the effects i put when i just started making it)

Devera, speaking of the separate set of coloring, do you think there should be some transition between the color and black-and-white parts? (Not the ones that were flashbacks)?

I'm not sure if I'm the right one to ask this question, since I'm always afraid I'm going to unintentionally give someone a seizure and often don't put in enough transitions myself (plus I don't want to break Windows Movie Maker...heehee)...but I thought the color to black and white parts was separated out enough for me as a viewer by it suddenly going backwards/faster. Normally I think all the stuff going on would have been too much, but it worked in this vid with Juliet, very Wonderland-esque! I guess it does have a lot more effects in the beginning...but I also loved at the end how you had her in the middle while everything was repeating and breaking apart surrounding her, ending with the crash.

Wow, this was like crazy good, your editing and beat use were very creative, especially in the beginning

You chose a perfect song for this episode and Juliet's character, it was hardcore and just awesome. I really liked your use of the reverse effect and the scene at 1:52 to 2:00 was sooo cool. Good luck in the contest!

Wow, that was a bit of an effects explosion!

But I liked it, it had a distinctive visual look to it and was definitely interesting to watch; I never was quite sure what was going to be coming up next!

Anyway, I enjoyed it!

This is very unique visually and I thought it was quite strong all the way through actually!! Nice lyrical usage! I thought it was really well done, despite what you wrote previous to this that it was "lazy"-- I disagree. I think to be completely effects-crazy through the whole thing, would have lowered the excitement of the beginning and the ending---when it actually came back strong again. If the middle hadn't had a calm moment, it would have distracted away from the importance of the beginning and ending... If that makes sense... Gold from me anyway. I thought it was cool.
