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

Thanks Jemma! I love that you loved Jack trying to break down the door and trying to save Kate...That was my absolute favorite part! Yay for hero Jack!

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.

Captain Freya

NOW YOU HAVE GOLD!! YAY! *feels powerful*

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.
