Aw! Jemma this was really beautiful! I love how all the clips just flowed nicely into one another, forming Sun's story. Really, wow! XD

Jemma! This was spectacular! The beginning was so amazing it gave me the chills..with the glass ballerina and the clips of Sun. Your clip use and lyric interpretation were so beautiful and perfect. Just a lovely character study of Sun, good luck in the contest!

Beautiful vid Jemma! I loved the overlays and the freeze fame bits that you had

Fab work and good luck in the contest!

Oh yay you know I LOVE this video!

Definitely a gold from me! I loved your lyric use so much

Can't even tell you how good I thought it was

And the way you stopped the clips so it was just a picture and made it all black and white. That was really powerful and made the whole thing even more interesting to watch. And the coulors you used were awesome too. They were like purple and beautiful

So yeah I really liked this. Gooooold

beautiful video jemma

i love this song; its one of my fave sarah songs

its a very hard one to vid cos it has that dreamy feel to it but you used it so well with those overlays. I just loved it

loved the eye open shot on the 'fear' lyric. and the b/w snapshot zooms

loved the 'tangled up in our embrace' scenes; that's like my fave line in the song

and the end with the frieghter scene

shame you couldn't get that border thing worked out. tbh, you could have done without it and it wouldnt have hurt the vid

but i still adored it to pieces; gold from me

This was gorgeous Jemma! I loved the dream like feel you brought to it. I loved the freeze/color changes in the beginning...that was very effective with the music and I think helped to add more emotion. I thought you did a really good job at showing Sun's character. This song was truly perfect!!

Good Luck!

Oh, wow, the lyrics were really apt for Sun. Nice job choosing this particular song for her (even if I don't actually like the song. lol). I really liked this character study (especially the lines "there's nothing I'd like better than to fall" - as if Sun really wanted all her secrets to come out so at least they could be out in the open, and not have them eat her up inside.)

Nice job, Jemma!

I want to have this vid's babies. I lovelovelove how you used the lyrics - flawless, not a scene out of place! The whole mood of the vid really reminds me of some of Sarah McLachlans older music videos, so bonus points for that.

Maria, thank you so much

Really glad you liked it even though you didn't like the song

It was one of of the few Sarah songs I had but I'm so glad it worked for Sun!

*huggles*

Jo, LOL Thanks so much! I'm so pleased you liked it!

Finally, I have the time to comment... nice video!

I don't like this Sarah's song a lot and I'm not so much into that purple effect... I loved the most some other videos from you, as Somewhere for example. ^^ But I liked how you told Sun's story, the scenes you chose and how you mixed everything. ^^
Good job! ;D
