Just beautiful Ali!! I really like how you started it with the quote in the beginning "Who in the world am I?" And then you have Jate on the tv screen...it was perfect! Like turning on the story of Jate and how they have changed each others lives. I really liked the little flickering light from the tv screen through out the vid...its was kind of magical..just like Jate!! My very favorite part has to be the "I've always been with you" and then you had the plane crash and merged all the great Jate dialog together! That worked so well and gave me chills! And the ending was beautiful too with Jack running to find Kate and then I loved how you ended it with the TV again. Perfection!!

This is one of the best Jate vids I've seen, Ali! The beat use and effects were awesome, but I think my favorite part was that explosion of dialogue... like walking through a cloud of every word they've ever spoken to each other, and I loved it. It totally gave me goose bumps!!! Great job!!!

So your use of the tv sim is actually my fave part of the whole vid b/c not only is it a tv Jack is viewing whilst looking back on their past, but "I see the light surrounding you" was always the tv sim framing whichever Jate scene you chose to use...and you used it for beats, in smaller form, which served as a reminder that this was, in fact, Jack's memory through the "tv" story of their past. Then after "I have always been with you" it just got more fabulous!!! The plane crash that started it all. The audio. The blurring in and out of clips illustrating the blur that was Jate in Jack's mind...NewJISS!!! New after JEX breakfast! Airport! Back to the island! The only thing that would have made it more perfect was if you started with Season One's Jack on the island and ended with Season 5's Jack on the island. LOVED this.

The TV thing was inpsired; i really loved that

gold all the way

Aw, wow, this was terrific! The song was amazing, I loved it for Jate. The whole "light surrounding you" theme was so wonderful! Your tv screen effect worked beautifully throughout. My favorite scene was at 2:49 for "light surrounding you" you had the tv screen start slow and get bigger! I loved the ending when Jack jumped for Kate. Wonderful vid, good luck in the contest!

Wow supeb vid Ali!

I loved it, it was perfect lovely jubely jateness!

Fantastic beat use, I loved all the effects you used on them they were really unique with those tv effect things. I especially loved when it started small and got bigger on the "I see the light surrounding you"!

Fantastic work! Ooh and I nearly forgot, loved the colouring too!

Aww great job! I loved how you used that little light bounce around on the screen to the beat, that was really cool! Love the song, and the vid!
