I loved that! You picked the best scenes to show how both characters have recovered from the "darkness." The beat-use was great too

Thank you!

Hey Ben!

Apologies for the wait: This week is finals week, so I have been a little run off my feet.

I thought this was well-edited: There were some times when I thoguht you could have brightened or high-contrasted the footage a bit because it was slightly hard to see (you'll run into that problem with Sayid sometimes, due to Naveen's darker skintone and black hair--I speak from experience!).

I like the shots around 0:30 with the well, as far as the editing of those--although they were quick, they blended well and didn't feel jarring.

I woudl be careful when you choose clips to make sure you catch stray lip movement (the infamous "talky" clip). I caught that once with Claire around 0:25 and with Sayid talking over Naomi's body a few seconds later.

I also hate Papyrus font, but that's the font's fault, not yours! Well done, and definitely much better than my first Lost video, haha.

Thanks for the feedback, Kate, and no worries, the wait was fine!

Yeah, about the coloring, I'm trying to work on that. Up until now, I've never colored any of my clips so I need to toy around with the brightness and whatnot. And yes, the talky clips I like to use them sometimes for an effect (like showing the anger or something) but a lot of times I use them without thinking and like here, looking back, I agree that most of them are really distracting. I needa work on that!

Thank you again for the wonderful feedback!
