This was fun (odd word for a revenge vid) and interesting! As I said on YouTube, I used to avoid AU vids, but this one really made sense and was easy to follow. The song was perfect for a trailer and the lyrics really matched up (what I heard at least). It made me want to go back and watch some s1 Sawyer eps!

I also liked this because it's different. As a shipper myself, I watch mostly shipper vids and sometimes it gets a little old (no matter how amazing they are). I don't see many character vids, esp. about Sawyer (at least I can't think of any recently).

Great work on this! I also like the pacing of it. Works well for a trailer.

I like that it was fun!!

Action movies are. Which I think this would fall under.

I enjoy AU Vids; but I can understand why some wouldn't like them. I am really glad that this made sense. LOL. Sawyer's Flash-Everythings were always a favorite of mine.

I've always wanted to do a Sawyer trailer type. I actually chose the song for the beginning part of it; then at the middle there's these lyrics that fit so well. I was like "Wow what a perfect song for Sawyer."

Thank you Scarlett.

LOVED THIS! Wow, Brooke! Such a great idea and you did it really well. Everything about this just made me grin ear-to-ear. Well done!

Thank you so much Julia.

It means a lot. I've thought about doing something like this for a while. And I finally was just like "I'm doing it."

Thank you.

such a clever idea for an AU Brooke. Clips from the sideways world really served you well here! Really loved how this felt like a proper action trailer. Loved how you took Sawyer's actual past from the show and used the flash-sideways clips to make it into an AU. Very clever. Loved it!

Means a lot. I had so much fun doing this. Sawyer's meant for an action flick.

Oh, I LOVED that! I adored the idea of Sawyer as a cop so melding that with his real backstory into an awesome action movie trailer? That was sheer win in my book! \o/ I loved the song choice, too, it really built up the suspense as we went along!

Awesome work, I really enjoyed it!

♥!

Thank you!!! I really loved this song. Zack Hemsey is such a gifted composer. I've always wanted to do a Sawyer trailer; and it came to me while listening to this song and watching the MI trailer.

Thanks Aislyn.

You created a really cool mood with this trailer and the scenes fitted together really nicely. I love Sawyer and it was great to see him get his own trailer
