Ooo, awesome! LOVED the ending! (Don't want to spoil it, though... )

Totally cool vid!

[Michelina]

Wow, that was extremely well done and had me completely convinced! *applause*

The vid description definitely caught my eye. A triangle that isn't JKS? And Garth Brooks? Yeah, as if I wouldn't watch this one.

You know, Shannon was an amazing character and I always loved her; I also secretly ship Khayid, so I couldn't take sides with the story in this vid. Shayid or Khayid?

You made Sayid and Shannon's desperation so REAL in the editing, and you totally sold me with the manipped scenes. The black and white also set up a really nice tone for the entire video -- the intro particularly drew me in, with the abandoned campsite and the ultraviolet light.

And the ending? Wow. It summed up the entire video: Creepy, mysterious, and unpredictable. I, like Aislynn, will not spoil it. Kudos!

I was thinking about using this song for a video! You beat me to it!

Great AU vid! The story was great and completely believable. And I didn't know if I should root for Shayid or Kayid, because, like Michelina, I love them both. The beat use was very good and love how most of it was in black&white (especially the Shannon scenes) for a more old-fashioned film feel to it - i.e. Shannon waiting anxiously for her lover to return.

To be truthful, at first, I was discouraged by the live version of the song. But as the song went on, and the crowd started to cheer, I realized it gave it all the more powerful effect.

Great job, ChicaFrom3!

Aislynn: The ending was the whole reason I did it. Thank you! I'm glad you liked it.

Michelina: I like triangles that aren't JKS! JKS is overrated IMO anyway. And I'm glad that it wasn't easy to say "Sayid should be with Kate" or "Sayid should be with Shannon"; wouldn't have had as much impact, otherwise. Thank you so much!

Aw, sorry!
The use of the live version was dictated by the fact that it's the only copy of the Extended Version that I had access to. So I'm glad it worked. Thanks, I'm so glad you liked it!

I really liked this vid--it's repetitive, I know, but I LOVED the ending!

I, too, was slightly turned off by the live version, but then when it got to that extended part, I was really excited--I love this song but I'd never heard that verse--which, by the way, was HIGHLY powerful and your manips were amazing! Great work!

[ChicaFrom3]

Aww, thank you! The Extended Version is so much more powerful (and cooler too) than the shorter version, and it disappoints me that the general release is the shorter version, because it means fewer people have heard the Extended Version.

That was a very convoluted sentence. Pretend it made sense, okay?

Again, thank you! *hugs*

Interesting triangle idea. I had to watch this video because Kate/Sayid is my favorite ship. I thought the video was well done and I literally screamed at the ending. Well done.

:O That was AMAZING. The ending was soo unpredictable. I loved Shannon's passion for Sayid and how she waited up and everything, it seemed so real. I felt so sorry for her. And when Kate gasps when Shannon has the gun, wow. I loved Shannon as well.

But the ending.

Wow. Never expected it. Again, brilliant!
