that was really cool. Very atmospheric and the song choice was brilliant. That album is great - half fling being my favourite and dom's voice and the dialogue is brill esp you needed some space. The effects were amazing and i loved the haunting feeling it had. Great vid - an original.

You already know my thoughts on this one, but in the interest of sparking some attention:
I loved how this was so original and new! But even though you used a song that could make any video really cool, you still tried to put something extra to it by adding in effects to keep the "artsy" feel that the song gives off, and telling a story with it all. A well done video IMO, and I recommend it!

Sweet! I downloaded this song recently and made the mistake of listening to it at nightime while I lay listening to it in bed. Yeah, creepy. But this video has made me appreciate the song much more, right from the opening sequence with Charlie watching Claire and Locke. Loved that! It also sent a shiver up my spine at the lines "I'm the shadow in the corner of the room" and when Charlie said "space" at the same time as the artist [which is so fittingly Dom]. Very chilling. The effects were also awesome too, and I love your editing style, very smooth and keeps you watching. Awesome job!! *applauds*

Aww, thank you!

It's good to know that I'm not the only crazy hobbit fanatic around here.

I'm glad you guys like it.

By the way, Michelina, do you know that it actually is Dom singing it? Just in case, it is.

LOL! Haha, I did sound like I didn't know it was Dom, didn't it? Nah, don't worry, I knew it was him, which made the video all the more awesome because it felt as if it were actually Charlie singing these words. Oh, it would be rather sad if I did not know it were Dom, seeing as the song title on my mp3 player clearly reads "Shadow - Dominic Monaghan." *facepalm*

New YouTube link.

I uploaded it to YouTube so I could add it to a negative ship contest on LF, and when I re-watched it I realized why it didn't get a gold CP.

LOL. It's all over the place. All I cared about was atmosphere and music, matching the lyrics, not a coherent story or theme. But.......... I still kind of like it.
