Wow, that was really good!!

Actually, it shouldn't come as a shock being you're the vidder. The beat use was perfect and you followed the lyrics nicely

My only fret is that Jack was made out as the "cult villain" if you could call it that, but it works well for the song. Still, I loved the beat use, loved the video and I don't even like Locke!!

P.S.~ I like at the end how it sort of contrasted the song title, you know, Locke being a hypocrite from his views early 2nd season...almost killing everyone...yeah.

Great!!

You managed to use scenes and footage that are barely used in vids! I loved that! Very original and awesome beat use. I loved the quick cuts!

That song was great for Locke. Really enjoyed it with the awesome beat use and that burn transition was really nice you used. Great job!

Thanks so much, yall!

xgene--I know what you mean about Jack in this vid, but it just worked with the song--I'm really a huge Jack fan!!!

Cinthia--thanks for noticing the odd clips! I try to do that sometimes, just to be different.

Excuse me for one second...

*SQUEEEEEE!!!!!!*

Okay, I'm good.

A beat-heavy awesome Locke character study

I love it!!!! That was some AMAZING use of beats and effects right there - I would almost suggest entering the Sept contest with this (it's not too late yet

). Awesome vid

Thanks, Warren!!! Was hoping you'd like this one, cause I know you're a Locke fan!

I pushed myself really really hard to finish this by today with thoughts of entering...I have til tonight to decide, right??

Added a youtube link. After watching so many vids on here, I've found that I like watching them on youtube best, and figured, what the heck, might as well join in!

That so seriously rocked!!!!

The beat use! The perfect, dead-on transitions! The awesome match of song to story! And it made Warren *squee* so I'd love it just for that alone!

That was fantastic, just marvelously fantastic! I love a great Locke character vid! I'm speaking in all exclamation points so you KNOW I'm serious here!

(And thanks for the YouTube link! It's awesome to be able to go ahead and watch it while you're downloading it to keep!

)

Beautiful job, hon! A+++++ (to infinity)

Thanks so much for the rave review, Aislynn!!!

NOTE: Just watched it on youtube--EEEKK!!!!!!! The quality really bites (I know my vids are never crystal clear anyway, lol). I'm gonna have to do something about that. *off to experiment*

Your beat use is so amazing, Uruviel...honestly, you've gotta be the best beat-use vidder here.

That was so awesome, the song is perfect for him and I love the effects and transitions.

Definetly one of the best Locke vids ever.

Oooh, sorry about my late comment.

Apart from the beat use (which is really good!), I like how you portrayed Locke, how you showed his different character traits and that you included those people who are somehow connected to him (Helen, Jack, Eko).

Again, great work, Heather!

Wow Heather! That was awesome! I loved all the PERFECT beat use. And a Locke vid, we don't get enough of them IMO. I loved it!
