As a fan of Angel I LOVED it. You did such a fantastic job here, the vid and the font was just awesome (How on earth did you get the Angel font in your vid?) I don't watch TVD but The Originals looks pretty interesting. Good luck on the contest.

Jemma, thanks so much! I'm so glad you liked the final product. Truth be told, this one gave me a hard time!

Brooke, yay, another Angel fan!! I love that show, even to this day. Honestly, the Angel Font is uploaded online! Nuts, right.

I'm glad my vid was able to spark your interest about TO/TVD. Thanks so much for your great feedback!

Summer, I'm glad to hear that the "semi-crossover" between ATS and TO worked! Thanks so much for your comment.

MODS, I just discovered that the mediafire link I provided is a dud for some reason. Can you please replace it with: http://www.mediafire.com/download/3p8nbnr81anrmk1/THE_ORIGINALS_-_ATS_credits.wmv

Thanks.

Thank you so much, Julia! I'm so glad they looked convincing!

That was amazing! Loved the effect you had at the beginning and at 21 sec, etc. That was really cool. This looked very realistic. Wonderful job!

So I'm commenting again after watching the original Angel opening credits just to say how AMAZING it really is! Comparing the two, you managed to copy the style PERFECTLY!!! The overlays, text and clip choices, everything about it was a perfect mirror image! I am impressed

:D Well done, Maria!!

That was awesome!

I'm so excited for this show, and this looked like it could really be the credits!

Wow, amazing, Maria!! So well edited, especially the picture-in-picture and the text effects! Great job!

That was awesome, especially since a lot of those effects looked quite tricky to recreate. You managed to get the atmosphere spot on too! Superb job

OOh, great job!! THe angel theme is still one of my all time faves

Excellent work, i loved the atmospheric shots you used of the the ppl in the street and stuff, and i love you had a shot of that hot guy walking away at the end like from the AtS credits

Macaila, thanks so much for the details feedback. Happy you liked the vid!

Jemma, aww, honey! Thanks for the double comment. I'm happy to hear that my work matched the original (haha, pun intended) so well! It's not exactly like the ATS credits, but I tried very, very hard to make it incredibly close. I'm glad it shows!

Heather, thanks, sweetie!! I saw too many similarities between ATS and TO to resist the merger.

I'm excited for TO too! Can't wait for weekly 40 minute doses of Joseph Morgan, Daniel Gillies, and Claire Holt on my screen! WOOT!

Karolina, thanks so much! The text effect isn't quite like ATS's but it's close enough. SO happy you liked the vid!

Emma, they were a bit tricky to recreate. I had to reacquaint myself with some of Vegas's less known features. I'm glad it worked out though. Thank you for your lovely comment!

Kat, I know, right?! The Angel theme can never get old - so epic! Happy to hear the atmosphere worked because Klaus isn't exactly like Angel in the redemption department (far from it!). The end bit with Klaus walking away to mirror Angel's iconic walk down the alley is one of my favorites too! Thanks so much for you great feedback, hon!

Oops, the youtube link seems to have been deleted. Can you please replace it, MODS? Thanks!

Thanks for first place in the challenge. EEK, I can't believe it!
