I like it a lot. Maybe i got a bit tired of the screen being blur all the time - i guess, it would be better if there were not only those bllur things LOL But it's a good take on the ep.

Woo! Great job Abby. I actually quite liked the haziness of the vid. I think it went well with the feel of the music which was really dreamy. Also loved your beat use and I think you told Ben's story very well for this episode! Good luck!

The second part was a lot more fun than the first part but maybe that's just cause of the song. I think it probably would have been better to use the haze for flashbacks at the beginning but I liked it. Good luck Abby!

Wow, Abby! This was superb! I loved your editing. Your beat use throughout was outstanding. I really liked the second part too - you did a fantastic job with the beat use and choice of clips to fit the song. I really liked the "fear" part where you had Mini!Ben's eyes wide with fear and the "eyes so red". Wonderful job!

Grat beat use, and effects were nice! All round great video and I like it!

This was pretty awesome!!!! The song was so eery and cool in the beginning and then got intense and awesome at the end, I loved it! It was great and perfect for Ben in this episode. Your editing totally rocked from beginning to end. I loved your use of the glowy effect in the beginning, and then at the end you went to bolder brighter and redder coloring. I really liked your split screens/overlays at 1:49, looked awesome. Loved how you started out with Ben with "Green eyes" and then near the end you had him with "Red eyes" hehe this was really great! Good luck in the contest!

Yay! I'm really glad you guys liked this! I kind of made this one up as I went along, but also tried to give it an overall theme (i.e. muted colors for flashback/slow part of song, & bright colors for the real time/faster part, etc).

Thanks for watching, thanks for your input and I'm really glad you guys enjoyed it!! Yay!

I love how you handled the opening sections with the cropping in with the music, very nice! Great atmosphere, I liked the hazy, dreamlike feel it had, then I liked how it kicked into the more saturated colors as the song picked up as well! Really nicely done, I enjoyed watching it a lot! ♥!

Great vid, Abby! I love the beginning with the glow-y effect, and very cool how the color changed when the music picked up.
