That was awesome. Seriously. I must have watch it 10 times so far. And apart from being about Charlie

The beat use was phenomenal and quite inventive. You pushed the whole concept of being "on beat" to a whole new level. This is groundbreaking!

The ending was nothing short of spectacular.

Congrats on winning!!

I heart electrionic songs

Awesome job on the beat and great choice of song and music for Charlie. It made you feel you were high on drugs listening to it.

Holy Crap, that was trippy (in a good way

). That was really good. Excellent timing of the beats

!! Congrats on winning, well deserved.

Not my kind of music, but the vid was just brilliant. The beat use was amazing and I loved how you told the story of Charlie's addiction in such a dark, creepy way.

I loved the effects and colours too.

Great job as always, and congrats on coming first, Karolina.

Wow! I liked the song, the way the lyrics fit with Charlie's addiction, and especially the end, where you just rolled the clips perfectly into the beat. Nice job!

Thanks so much for all your wonderful comments!

This vid is not very creative when it comes to the topic, I'm afraid, but I decided to use this song nonetheless because it works very well for Charlie and it has a lot of different beats, so it's great if you want to practice your beat use skills... and man, it was so difficult, too!

Oh, and Erin: Thanks a lot for your idea with the Newcomer Award!!! It's really great and I would've loved to give this award to even more vids in this contest.

Brilliant as usual!

I think your beat use was phenomonal! Even if you didn't catch every beat, you kept up with the pace of the song perfectly so no one noticed. Also, I really loved the beginning (it gave you that high feeling, as Paul said) and the end where all the prior scenes overlapped like all the terrible things he's done were forming in Charlie's to torment him.

I haven't seen the other entries yet, but it definitely deserved a prize!

So congrats on first place

That was beyond impressive! I can't imagine the amount of work and time you had to put into the vid it was phenomenal. I am a Charlie fan and it just fit perfectly!
Great WORK!

Um. Wow.

I haven't commented on a LOST video in so long, and this one made me get off my lazy ass (okay, not literally, since I'm still on my ass, but you get the point) and do so. This video was just..wow. Your beat use was TERRIFIC, and not only that, you included so much emotion that gets me re-watching. Very awesome job. I especially loved the parts between 0:57-1:28. Those quick zoom ins to the beats were very well-done. I also loved the ending with the very quick clips to the beats. Great job once again! A well-deserved win!

Thank you!!!

Yes, it has taken quite a lot of time. Fortunately, I didn't have to be so picky when it came to the clip choice, but adjusting the clips to all those different beats was kinda tricky... but a lot of fun, too!

Hehe, thanks Kaja, but thanks to all the CMs for actually implementing my idea.
