Wow!!! Awesome vid, Trey!

That is such an awesome way to show the parallels of Sawyer's & Locke's stories! Not to mention just how hard I bet that was to make!

What a freakin' awesome vid, Trey!!

It' too good for words! I can only imagine how difficult the editing must've been!! It was totally worth it though cause you created a little masterpiece here!

I was totally hooked on the Sawyer/Locke/Cooper theme (I started working on a S/L/C vid myself some months ago, but I got totally stuck and I'm afraid I'll never be able to finish it

) and I love watching vids about it. Your vid is indeed a masterpiece!

I loved everything about it, but I think my favourite part is the comparison of Locke/Helen and Sawyer/Cassidy. That was just wonderful!

Dunno what else to say. I'm stunned

I'm off to watch it again

Awsome! It must have been really hard to edit! loved the split screen with the long and winding road in the middle and all the comparisons you made! And i love this song and Locke/Sawyer/Cooper story, that is not very explored in vids!
Congrats! Great job!

Very original and the split screen were really impressive. The Long and Winding Road is one of my favorite song ever! I love your song choices!!

I told you before trey I really really loved this vid it's just so pretty to look at! Great job and nicely done with the song. Drawing a little-seen parallel. *hearts*

Its awesome brother

I remember you BETAed this, and didn't know whether to finish it or not. YOU MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE

Love all the split-screens, a slow song - and you still managed to get that holy beat use in

Great job

Awesome idea to show the ultimate crossing of paths in the lives of Sawyer and Locke. Those being two of my favourite characters it was great to see a vid dedicated to them aswell

I think the road thing in the middle was a cool idea but on some shots it looked kinda wrong. The split scenes were well paired up though. Good job!

Awww, thanks so much for the shout-out! *hugs* How'd you like working with 2 constant video feeds like that? It's tricky, isn't it?

You did really great managing both stories at the same time! I loved the parallels that you drew between Sawyer and Locke's stories as they converged together like that! *applause applause* You kept the beat use going great in the middle of all of that, as well!

What's really cool with a vid like this is that you can actually watch it over again just on one side or the other and get a whole vid out of it, but to have two going at the same time working their way along the "winding road" until they come together is just awesome! Great, fabulous work!

Thanks everyone sooo much for your comments!!!

Uruviel- Thanks soo much for your comments Heather. Im glad you liked it! Yeah it was really tricky to do, not exactly the frame work, but finding footage for both sides for every second. Thanks agian.

Kajam- WOW! Masterpiece?

Thank you soo much! That really means allot to me. Thank you!

Here's some parts where I thought the road pic was distracting:

1:04, 2:00, 2:26, 2:53

I appreciate it was very difficult to keep all those things in check though you did a great job considering. The thing that I think really worked on Aislynn's vid was that she had different sections of the video playing on their own and then she'd stop the frame on the other one rather than having them going all at the same time aswell.

[This has been the end of Pauls' opinion take it onboard if you want or totally ignore my evil negative comments

Good video! I liked the road, and of course I liked the characters - the muted color was good, as color in this would have only been distracting. Everyone's pretty much said all my good comments, so I'll just add that I like the fact that you kept two stories going throughout - from a plotting angle, that's tough.

However, I'm sort of in Paul's camp, if a little different: I didn't think the road was distracting per se, but I did feel that the road got a little static just sitting there, for what that's worth - I'm not sure what Vegas specifically lets you do with the inner pictures, but it'd be interesting to see if changes to the road itself might have a positive or negative effect. Plus, will you hate me or love me if I say that I know the Beatles well enough (used to play this song on the piano) that I can tell where you cut the song? I could, for what that's worth, and that twigged me slightly.

Dunno if that helps, but there you go!
