Aww, that was really sweet! I loooove Little House. I grew up watching it and still love it to this day. It was fun seeing a LHotP vid.

I think i might have stopped watching Little House before these episodes aired but it still made me very nostalgic. I think you did a terrific job with this vid. At first I thought the song might be too dramatic but it looks like these were very dramatic episodes and the scenes you chose really fitted the lyrics. Considering the film quality of older shows like this you did really well. I think maybe a fade in or out of some clips might have made the scene changes more effective, but that's just my personal preference.

Thanks both for the feedback- glad you enjoyed it: )

It's funny you posted that ...you don't know how many times and not just with this video I will question that. I have looked back at older vids and thought maybe I should of put a transition there. At the time of making it I am fine with with it. But I guess multiple viewings you see something. But I always remember something Madonna said about her finishing an album. She said that she would nitpick a song(s) all day and it would drive her crazy but then she would never get it done. So she would just have to trust her instincts. But hey getting this feedback only helps me - so I appreciate it all: )

Vidding style is up to each individual so you are definitely best to follow your instincts and transitions can just end up being a distraction in a vid anyway.

Good, i don't often give advice because I'm never sure of my own finished vids let alone someone elses It was just a thought that occurred to me while i was watching your vid.
