I really loved the Angsty Liam shots all through the vid! He TOTALLY looked like he was devastated over Charlie and Claire! That was really cool!

[Charlie13]

I would appreciate any comments on this vid as this is my first attempt at an AU vid. It was very difficult to piece this one together and I would love to hear what you think about it!
Thanks,
Kelsey

I don't know much about AU but I loved when Claire seemed to be screaming/Talking to Liam. We know it was Thomas, but the way you edited it, I totally believed it was Liam! Good job putting it together! Very original.

(Making an AU vid totally scares the hell out of me. Don't know if I'll ever have the courage to make one!)

Thank you so much for your comment about my vid. Even though it took a long time to edit those clips just right I am pleased with the final product. I would be interested to hear from other AU vidders.

I really, really tried to find a good world to describe how much I like your vid but let's say: good work.
Loved the song and the idea (Charlie/claire/Liam).

I'm feeling slightly invisible up there at the top. Anyway, I'm an AU vidder myself, with 4 vids that are definitely AU and a couple of others that are slightly AU-ish.

Anyway, like I said, I really liked the Angsty Liam shots and, like cylune mentioned, I also liked the scenes where you used Thomas' scenes to "fake-out" Liam being there instead.

I am so happy that you all like this vid, it was by far the most challenging one I have made! Thanks so much for your support of the work!

I would like some advice as to how this vid could have been made better to receive an LVI Council Pick. I think it was original and that it was well put together, I got alot of compliments about the work. So I would just like to know what else I would need to do to be awarded by the LVI. I'm constantly learning about what I need to do to make my vids better so any advice would be appreciated!

Hey Charlie 13! Don't get discouraged! There was a lot of good things in your video, like Liam Angsty shots and using Thomas as Liam. And the idea was original. I think it's just a matter of storytelling and putting the right clips at the right moment to tell that story. My advice if you're going to do another AU is to pick up a song that tells a clear story and follow the lyrics closely. Since you don't have canon scenes to help you, use the lyrics to tell your story! Good luck!
