I liked it

though I haven't heard the full song, it seems that you could have done the video with just the first song-just my opinion though

otherwise, very good- I love those songs

I couldn't have used just the first song because it goes into a repetition of the same thing for almost two minutes. And it repeats "I die without you" about a million times... And where I inserted Seasons, the first song goes into a verse that I plan on using in a different video, so, I didn't want to do the overkill thing by using it twice.

It makes absolutely no sense, but it's how my head works...

Oooo, you're talking to a major RENThead here, and you're speaking my language!

This video gets Style Points (tm) for:

The music! Man, I cannot stress to you vidders how great Broadway songs are for LOST. Seriously. Songs from musicals have so much incredible potential, and you used them very well here.

The trailer style, complete with onscreen text. That was really nicely done; they looked like the type of thing that would come onscreen in an actual preview!

The great clips, especially on "Seasons of Love." Lots of tearful embracing, etcetera.

* * * --- three out of four stars.

No day but today!

Again, I haven't heard the whole song, so don't listen to me

Great vid, again

I just thought I'd give you a little bit of reasoning

I'm sure I made no sense, but oh well

blind.filmmaker: YAY for Rent! Glad you liked it, and I'm also glad to see that someone else here is a Rent fan.

RENT!

How did I not see this vid before?!? It's RENT!

Beautiful job. And given that of the pairings you used, only one (C/C) is one that I support wholeheartedly, that's saying a lot coming from me. And I agree with blind.filmmaker...more Lost vidders need to use Broadway songs!

Again, a great job and a great vid.

I only support one of the pairings that I used too!

(C/C all the way)

Glad you liked it! It's totally fun that there's other people around here who appreciate RENT
