Thanks Freckles! I've been wanting to make a Skate vid for you for a long time...and I'm happy I finally got around to doing it. I'd love for you to dedicate a vid to me someday...you know I'm a huge fan of your Lost musical vids....hint...hint.....  _________________

I gave up....blah...I'm lazy I guess.. Is that part you are talking about? Or was there something else? I'm glad the suicide scene didn't bother you...I'm feeling really bad that I horrified everyone! |
I never said I didn't like the editing, I thought it was a good vid. No worries, hon. I just think that other vids of yours have been better, editing-wise. lol This just seemed really simplistic editing-wise, and the story wasn't totally out there or anything, so some fancy effect or something might have pulled me in more. I only watched it once, last night, so I could have missed a lot. I did love it though! I thought that you could have made the dreams more dream-like as well, or at least put it in greyscale, something to distinguish it differently (I know you had different coloring, I dunno). I'm no expert though, these are just really picky things, since you asked.
I thought that the end was abrupt and kind of all over the place and somewhat hard to understand, but at the same time, that is NOT a really bad thing for me. I liked it because of that at times! hehe It was a crazy situation, and the way it was choppily (is that a word?) edited, fit with the emotion involved, so kudos to you for that! lol The only crit I have about the ending, was that it was abrupt and unclear, but the actual editing was awesome. I liked how shocking it was. Sometimes, you just have to take chances, and shock people.
All in all, I loved the vid, these are just a few picky things. hehe _________________

Wow, Nikki - I really like this vid. The way you pieced it together, your audio was incredible! I think you did a great job with it and I didn't have a hard time following the story.
I think the simplicity of the video makes it work really well. Because it's so simple, it makes that graphic moment at the end a lot more powerful. This was a very intense and moving vid, Nikki. Great job!! I look forward to part 2!!
Btw, I'm curious to know what movie the suicide scene came from. I'm slightly desensitized, but I think I was really able to stand it because the color on it was muted. It's not as bad when it's not bright bloody red! Thanks for that, hehe  _________________

Yay, a new Skate vid from Nikki!!
I thought it was great, even though I have to agree with those who found the ending too graphic. But the story worked really well - poor Kate.
Now you have to make a happy Skate vid for a change.  _________________

Thanks Abby! That was such a nice comment! You just made my morning!!
Oh and I'm not sure the title of the movie. I got the clip from Freya...she'd know.
Birte, glad you enjoyed it as well. Don't worry...part 2 will be much happier.  _________________

oooh, creepy! Cool idea, Nikki! I loved when Jack was trying to revive Kate! The cutting didn't actually bother me as much as I thought it would, probably 'cause I've seen it before =P But I liked that part 'cause of Jack trying to get in. Great work! =D |

The line "I have to go back" has to be some of the slickest audio editing I have ever heard. I love them 'meeting' in their dreams and of course, the suicide scene - I didn't think it was too graphic. You have a very 'boundary-pushing' vidding style and I think this definitely showed that. I also love the idea of him trying to break the door down and save her. I've got a thing about chivalry
And Abby, that scene is from...*thinks* I think it's called '2:47' or '2:37' or something. It looks like a really cool film from the 8 minutes I've seen. |

That was really good, Nikki! I love how you kept going back to the happy moments of Kate & Sawyer in this nice, very bright and glowy look as compared to the rather dark and "less colourful" moments in Kate's present.
By the way, did I ever tell you that I love your taste in music? I can't think of but one song in your vids that I didn't like.
That's a bit off-topic but I wanted to ask you if you have any new vids with Juliet coming up?
Anyway, great work once again!  _________________

thanks Karolina! I feel the same way about your taste in music!!
I'm thinking about doing a Juliet character study and another Kuliet vid next....I'm not sure which one I will do first though. Thanks for asking and thanks for your comment.  _________________
