|
|
Title: Empty
Song: Empty Chairs at Empty Tables
Artist: Cast of "Les Miserables"
Length: 3:07
Size: 98 MB (the downloadable one); Youtube is a .WMV file and thus lower quality.
Summary: He taught them to be heroes, forgetting to teach them how to save themselves... Supernatural AU vid. What if Sam and Dean died during the attack in "Shadow?" Now the memories (and hallucinations) of his sons are haunting John Winchester as his guilt grows. This tells a story within a story and is my attempt at emotive storytelling. Very angsty.
Vidder's Notes: Hope you enjoy it and some feedback (including constructive criticism) would be very (I'll give you cookies and/or my possible future children [not that I think you'd want them!] for it) much appreciated (just no flaming, please!)

Enjoy! _________________

Yeah, sorry, Phantomas youtube commented me... I was too surprised and delighted at the rec that I couldn't turn her down.
Can't wait to hear your wonderful Aislynn thoughts on the vid! _________________

Wow, that was so good, Maria!! I was really surprised that the combination of Supernatural clips and a Les Miserables song worked so very well. I just loved it!! Very emotional, very touching, I had goose bumps all over!! Great work!!
Some question:
Did you make that border thingie with Photoshop?
Are all clips from Supernatural or did you use some clips from Grey's Anatomy, too? (I'm not an SPN expert, so sorry if I got that wrong )
.... you don't have to give me one of your future children, but I can be the godmother of one of your kids?
Oh, by the way, did you try to use that converter? Does it work for you? _________________

You really could've asked me! I'm not the fastest person in the world these days when it comes to replying to PMs or emails, but I would've gotten back to you for sure.
Anyway, Christmas holidays are coming and I have about three weeks of vacation. I'll have quite a lot of free time and if you want me to, I could make some screenshots of the program and explain it to you. _________________

Sorry it took me so long to get back here. I was... uh... kidnapped by... ummmm... the Winchesters, yeah, that's it because they... er... needed me to help them... uhhhhhhhhhh... tow the TARDIS out of the mud where it had gotten stuck! Dude, that's good! And the Doctor was SO grateful to all of us that he took us out for breakfast and we met Sawyer at the restaurant and we were all having SUCH a great time that I just lost track of what I was doing! Yeah, that's TOTALLY what happened! *innocent face*
Meanwhile, back at the actual review...
I LOVE this song choice for this story! There just is no better grief-stricken song of being the lone survivor than this one, IMO. And you used it so well. I particularly loved as the music was swelling up for "and they rose with voices ringing" and we see all of the heroic deeds the boys have done. *sniffle*
I loved all of the awesome disappearing bits, especially the "phantom faces at the window" line which just seemed so chilling to me! And I loooooooooved the Grey's Anatomy footage at the end with him going into the light and *sniff* he met Sam and Dean again *SNIFF* and then the quote about not dying of a broken heart, just wishing you would... *SNIFF!!!!* Oh John does "hurting" so prettily, just like those sons of his... *pets them all*
Just beautifully, beautifully done! |

If you're sure you have time then I would really appreciate on tutorial on the thing. (Of course that means I have to download it again because I think I deleted it ). But that's ONLY if you have the time, hon, and have nothing better to do!
Thanks again for the lovely words, Aislynn! _________________
