Awww, Nikki, that was so good!! I think this was a really great character study. I loved how you kept flashing back to Kate's previous situations when she was looking at Jack & Sawyer. That was really very effective!!

This was just very beautiful. You're so good!!

Btw - props for using Young Sydney, hehe

Lovely video, Nikki! Really interesting how you showed Kate as a little girl.

You already know I LOVE your character studies.

Really so much can be said for your simplistic editing technique. You edit with so much more emotion and content then someone with vegas.

I loved the lyric interpretation especially in the open two verses. It breaks my heart to see all those men disappear from Kate's life.

I think you played out all her relationship really well, especially the Jack relationship toward the end. It wasn't contrived or over the top. It was very honest.

Great job!

PS: LOVE YOUR USE OF AUDIO! (especially the "you always wanna run away kate" "Yeah, and you know why")

most certainly i liked this...loved this! you portrayed kate so well and this is one of the best vids ive seen that actually captures her as a character. "i'll never have anything good" was really well shown with the failure of the men in her life and i loved the sixth sense clip used and Kate as a young girl seeing her mother being abused. I especially liked the "Never have anything good" voiceover with the jate first meeting almost as if it really shows her lonliness, the switching clip between kate as a girl and a woman walking towards the camera was very effective too. Just a brilliant video hun! Gold and faved at YT! xCfx
