This was AMAZING!!!! I love this song, and it fit really well as a Desmond vid. Your split screens were perfect. I love the end where it had everyone hugging or kissing it really showed "how far they've come" (lol) from the first episode where a lot of them pretty much hated each other, that was really sweet see. Great Job!!

OMG KAROLINA. right when i send my computer off, you have to upload a video! It was increadible. I love the beat use, idea, split screens, everything. Its funny all of you had the same idea! Ive actually not herd of this song till now. Thats the thing though with newer songs, you have a larger chance of them being used. Excellent work though! I cant wait to download this when i am able to!!!

Aww, thanks so much for all the new comments! You guys make me melt away!

hpfan2,342: Thanks a lot!! Glad you enjoyed it!!

cylune: OMG! That "I will eat your soul" face rocks, doen't it!! I love it!! Please let me know if I can ever help you with any colour correction. That's one of the very few things I'm actually good at when making a vid. I'd be more than happy to help!
Thank you again so much for your help! *hugs*

Belxf: Thanks so much, Bel! I'm glad you liked it, especially the split-screens. I was a bit nervous about that. I didn't know they would work, so thank you re-assuring me that they did!

Lostwithoutdom: Thanks a lot! I'm a sucker for happy endings and I wanted this vid to end with something good. I'm really happy that you all seem to like it. Thanks a lot!

Jemmz: Thank a lot, Jemma! I love this song, though I have to admit that it drove me crazy during the last few days... all those heavy beats!! They were a real killer!
Thanks again for commenting!

wolffootball37: Yay! My fellow Dezzy fan! Thank you so much, Trey! I was really eager to get your comment in particular since you like Desmond as much as I do and I'm glad you liked the vid!
Yeah, you indeed have to be quick with new songs because a lot of people have the same idea. You're really clever to use older songs in your vids.
Thanks again! Much appreciated!!

EDIT: I just noticed that I haven't seen Izzy's and Deia's comments earlier. Geez, I'm so sorry, guys!! Thank you so much for commeting! It's much appreciated and I'm glad that you liked the vid!

Oh, Karolina, this was a such a cool vid!!

I liked the more upbeat-ish idea of Desmond's visions in this vid. Yes, he's haunted by knowing things that he can't change but damned if he's not going to TRY to change them. The split screens were so effective too because it was very still on Desmond's side and then all the action was on the Losties' side (like Cinthia said). It wasn't distracting at all, which is really an accomplishment because Vegas can do amazing things but sometimes it takes AWAY from a vid. And I love how you connected Desmond seemed to the Losties, by going through all their good and bad moments - it's like their joys and pains were his too. Desmond is totally a Jesus analogy!

You had some really, really awesome beat use in this vid and great lyrical interpretation. I also really liked the sideway zoom-ins (you know, where the camera seems to have a life of its own... )

An excellent vid, Karolina. This makes me miss Des so much - where are you February!?

Nicely done, hon!

Thank you so much for your wonderful comments, guys! I'm happy you liked it!

This one actually made me smile because Henry did play Jesus in one of his earlier roles. But yeah, I guess you're right. Dezzy's indeed a bit of a Jesus analogy.

Yeah, absolutely. I also still hope (beyond any hope) that Charlie will make it out of that underwater station. That would be so great, but I don't see that happening.

Thanks again for the great comments!

I didn't want the viewers to get all dazed and confused. I'm glad you liked it though. I thougt I might give it a try with this effect, but it definitely would've been too much in all of the vid. Thanks for your wonderful comment, hon!! *hugs*

Love this vid! The split-screen effect was awesome for this and I loved how it was from Desmonds POV ... loved the happy ending too

hehe AWESOME!
Yay, for your song choice, I've actually been listening to it quite a lot lately, so when I saw this vid... Great song! And a perfect choice for this vid.
And it's a great vid to go with the great song!
FANTASTIC editing! AWESOME job!
