Superb. Wow, that was such a great character study of Jack. You got all aspects of his life and rolled them all together into one gorgeous video. I mean, most people just divide it up into flashback/on-island/jate, and each of them is completely different from each other. But you managed to piece them together, all into one big story that gives you a perfect window into Jack! It makes his story make perfect sense. And all of it led you to his moments where he just couldn't take it anymore and lashed out. Marvelous.
Hmmm... I think it might be.... yep, I think it is. This is my favourite vid of yours now Karolina (and that kinda means it's one of my fav of all time too lol) |

Great vid!
I love angsty Jack vids. I really like how you focused on everyone, including Sarah, Christian, and even Locke, and not just Kate. Great beat use too (obviously).
Awesome work!!  _________________

dayln03: Wow, thanks a lot for your kind words!! You know, I'm becoming a Jack fan myself bit by bit and since I enjoyed working on this vid a lot, I might do the odd Jack vid in future.
pumpkin_heart: Quote: | I'm really glad you named the vid "Bury me" cause it sounded like the singer was saying "Marry me" at that part and I sat there thinking "OK... that's random..." |
When I listened to the song for the very first time that was exactly what I was thinking. I had to look up the lyrics on the internet right away because I thought "well, that's kinda weird..."
I have to admit that, even though I'm a Skater, it was a bit painful to make this kind of ending. I really wanted him to get the girl after I had worked on this vid for a while.
Thanks for your comment!

Why thank you! It took me almost a month to finish this vid (I usually don't need much longer than two weeks), so that's really a great compliment and it tells me that it was worth the time and effort! So thank yoooouuuu!
Maria: Thank you, hon! I was a bit afraid that there's too much Jate in this vid (I still think so... it's a Jack character vid after all), but then again she's an important part of his on-island life. Uh, well... I dunno... Anyway, thanks again for your comment! _________________

ouf, finally watched it!!! I was so eager since I saw you used The Kill by 30 seconds to Mars!!!
I don't know the band very much but that song was part of a fanmix that LAURA4LAD did for the jacket_whoweare community at Livejournal. I was looking for a song to use for a Jacket vid and it was either The Kill or Map of the Problematique. Now I'm so glad I didn't chose The Kill because your version was simply amazing!! That must be one of the best and more intense Jack vid there is out there (and I'm not saying this lightly since there is a lot of amazing Jack vids!)
I love how you showed Jack's relationships with both Sarah and Kate and how much both relationship went sour. I love where you chose to change the story from Sarah to Kate, with the music slowing down it went down smoothly.
Love Jack saying "I'm not" at the same time as the lyrics. And my favorite part was at the 2:19 mark where the lyrics scream "This is who I really am" and you see the very intense footage of Jack screaming, beating, turning. Extremely intense! I adored. wow.
Amazing beat use and amazing effects - loved how you did the multi-layer effect, it really added meaning to Jack's state of mind.
Great job again and please... more loud vids!!! _________________

Ooo, I love this song! (And I, too, thought he was saying "Marry me, marry me" when I first heard it! I looked up the lyrics just because that seemed so random to the rest of the song!)
Anyway, this made for an awesome Jack vid! The part where the song was shrieking "this is who I am" and Jack's just screaming and coming apart at the seams basically... Ooo, just gives you the shivers it's so good!
I love angsty!Jack! (I also love psycho!Jack and nearlyevil!Jack but that's besides the point... ) I can't think of anything to say that hasn't been said ahead of me, so let me just say a huge "ditto" for all the wonderful things in this vid! I LOVE a loud, rocking character study! It was truly just amazing!  |

First of all thank you so much for your amazing review! I'm really glad you liked it! And btw, I'm sure your version of "The Kill" would've been really amazing, but I'm glad you did "Map of the Problematique" because it's my favourite vid of yours (along with "Let Down")!
As for the loud vids: I'm quite sure that I'm going to make more vids like this one here. It was so much fun to do. I have this idea for a very loud and aggressive Jack vs. Locke or Charlie vs. Locke vid... well, the semester break is coming quite soon, so I might give it a try.
Thanks again for your help with the layer effect!

I'm glad then that I'm not the only one.
And yay! You mentioned my favourite part of the vid (Jack screaming to the lines "This is who I really am"). I was hoping people would like this part in particular.
Thank you for your kind words!  _________________

Sorry I'm late (my usual situation )
Anyway video simply awesome Karolina!
You know I'm not a Jack fan (I was in love with this character only about first five or six episodes of Lost's first season, but than I started really hate him, and I still hate, 'cause Lost seemed to be the Jack show still for me)..But you know what I loved about this your vid. - is that the character that I hate and never support...now I start really feel sorry for his life I think that mean that your vid. is really awesome
And how you show his life..this is very deep vid. (and I'm fan of deep vids, I love to watch more serious works, instead of humour.. with some drama in them)
I even start to feel sorry for a minute that skate happened ...well now I'm already don't
Ok, I'm going to download a Jack-centric vid
Hope my comment was't confusing though  _________________

Don't worry about that. I understood perfectly what you were trying to say.
Anyway, thanks a lot for your kind words! *hugs* I'm glad you liked the vid and even downloaded it even though you're not a Jack fan. Thank you!! _________________

OMG! Thank you for your amazing comment! *hug*
Well, to tell you the truth: After having made this vid here, I actually really felt like making Jate vid. I think I might give it a try as soon as I have some new footage.
Oh, and I love your vid "Sshh"! It's such a cool vid!  _________________
