I'm amazed to hear that this is a first vid! It shows that you've really done your homework in seeing what goes in to a well-made vid, xgene!

I loved all of the beat use, not just the shatter transition right on with the cymbal crashes, but the way the motion in the scene was used to emphasize the beat (one of my personal favs... ).

Plus, it was an excellent Jack character vid, as well. And I loved how, instead of just randomly showing a clip of Jack's dad or mom at the "blame this on my father/mother" lines, you took the time to set them up properly, so that it wasn't just a random flash.

I'm really, really impressed with all of the thought and care that you obviously put into this. Great job and I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with next!

Wow, thanks for the positive feedback. Let's just say I had time to think about it due to my computer freezing frequently because of the movie making program

Seeing that your vid "Cry Me A River" was one of the influences that made me want to make a Jack vid, it means a lot to me that this is coming from you. By the way, that is still one of my fav vids here.

Really? Wow, that's such an awesome thing to say! Thank you! I really, truly appreciate that!

Well done.

Wow, I can't believe this is your first video. It was definantly an amazing first start. You definantly have talent and I can't wait for more videos by you.

My favorite thing about certain videos is how a person sets up the mood. Sometimes people will have a video with a sad song, and yes they'll put sad clips, but they dont really create a mood with the video. (I have no idea if I'm making sense). Anywho, you definantly were able to create a mood. Like Aislynn said, you prepared the clips, they just weren't flashed to match the lyrics, you gave it all some thought. You did an amazing job. Im not a Jack fan or a Jate fan, but when I saw that someone did a Jack video to this song, I thought it would fit perfectly well, and it did. You did an amazing job.

I was wondering if it would be possible to get a download link?

Great job, especially for a first vid! I love the transitions in particular, they're very well done and it's a good Jack character study, too.

I hope you'll submit more such awesome vids soon. Keep up the good work!

Hey all, thanks for all the great feedback I'm glad people enjoyed it Thanks to the council as well for rewarding my vid a gold award thingy.

I'm trying to find out a good and easy video upload site that my peeps can download my vid(s) from. Any recommendations are appreciated.

[KajaM]

I'd recommend those:

http://www.zshare.net/
http://www.badongo.com/

They both don't last for too long, but work well for most people.

You can use these, too:

http://rapidshare.de/
http://www.megaupload.com

They are valid for 30 days, that is the download link is deleted after 30 days without any downloads. However, they don't seem to work for everybody for some reason and we don't accept them as first or only video link.

Hope that helps.

For anyone who wanted to download my vid. If I see any part of my vid anywhere else being used and I haven't been somewhat credited, I will find you and kill you...haha, I'm only kidding, but seriously, death.

Hope this works

Can the LVI Bot person add this link at the top with the youtube link as well?

Thank you for the download link, gene!

(And in my part-time guise as the LVI Bot, I added the link into the first post... Any of the moderators/Council Members can do that for you. )
