First of all, that was an AWESOME idea to connect Sawyer and Locke's dad like that. I mean, just fall-out-of-my-chair brilliant!

The split-screens with Locke's dad and Sawyer "echoing" each other in some way (the car window rolling down/Sawyer taking off his sunglasses etc.) were just fantastic. I loved the comparisons you drew between how he feels about/has treated Kate and Cassidy. Then the voice-over at the end about the tiger not changing those stripes...

It was just like a knock-out punch!

All in all, that was just a gorgeous, amazing, breath-taking, beautifully thought out and executed vid. And BEST of all: it had lots and lots of Sawyer in it!!! w00t!

Bravo and major congrats on 1st place, hon!

Congratulations on First Place! This is such an incredible video. I believe that you're right... Lockes dad IS the real "Sawyer"!!!

Thank you so much!

Spalonieve: I really hope that Anthony is the real Sawyer. This story could be very exciting! I don't know if they intent to somehow reveal those mysteries and secrets in the on-island-life, too, but it'd be certainly interesting to see how that would influence Sawyer's behaviour towards Locke.

Well, I kinda doubt this will happen tho.

Aislynn: I had hoped that you would like this vid and I'm so happy that you do!! *swings the Raving Sawyerette pom-poms and does a I-am-so-happy-dance*

Thanks for your great review!

If you need some help, just give me a yell and I'll try to explain it to you. (Or aren't you using Sony Vegas?)

dude that was awesome. i usually dont like it when split screen is used but it totally worked in this vid, youve won me over lol. really good use of the echoing clips aswell.

Thanks a lot!! I'm not really a fan of split-screen myself (it's too much work

), but it worked quite well for this vid. Glad you liked it... even with split-screen.

Thanks again!

Fabulous editing job there with Locke's dad's clips - will be interesting to see if that possibility pans out. Either way, the vid still rocks. The ending quote was PERFECT.

Wow, thanks a lot for your great comment!

I really hope that we'll find out who the real Mr. Sawyer is. It'd be very cool if it was Anthony.

I didn't.

It was more of a guess, really. I read this theory somewhere on the internet a few weeks before I made this vid and it sounded great and kinda plausible to me.. that's why I decided to play with this theory in my vid. It's really cool that it turned out to be true.

Trey, social pariahs rock!!

I've been walking through the streets, singing "Let down and hanging around. Crushed like a bug in the ground" after I watched Cylune's "Let Down" vid. People must've thought that I was suicidal.

Thanks for your comments, guys!
