Random notes:

I like the parallel of "to/into" (? didn't quite catch specifically) "his hands" with Charlie drawing out the heroin. In general, the selections of dialogue you use are well-chosen, particularly with Jack, and I like the sudden dropping light after his impassive-face shot.

I like the continued illumination on the scenes that in the show were with the monster; you actually turn it into something different, which is neat. I also like the illumination on the hatch shot specifically; it looks appropriately, well, magical.

My one suggestion is that a few shots - ie that of the plane and of Locke sitting, and Boone tied up - could stand to be contrast-filtered a bit more to fit with the relatively high contrast of the rest of the video.

Also, there's not enough Sawyer or Sayid, but I digress.

Thanks for the comments and the suggestions. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

After I made the video and put it out there it hit me...crap no Sawyer. I actually had some shots of Sayid in the first draft of it but ended up taking them out because the just didn't seem to fit.

I'll definately be including them in my next vid.

I was also impressed with the lightning during the "monster scene"!. The begining credits were spectacular but I think it ran a little long (imho, of course

). Nice song choice. And thanks for including a lot of Charlie (we all have our favorites, I guess

)

When I was thinking of this video while listening to the song the first character that came to my mind was Charlie, I knew then that I had to have him in there.

What editor was that done in?

Those were some amazing effects, particularly the credits and the spotlight! Nicely done

Thanks for nice comments. The editor I work with is Sony Vegas 5.0 Pro. I absolutely love it.
