i love watching videos to this song and this is no exception

. great beat use, my favorite part of the video was 0:53-1:00. and your audio use was excellent, some really epic quotes in this ep. its one of my favorite episodes and the video did a great job in recapping it

The end was very touching. Perfect up-beat beat use and colors.

That was beautiful! Loved the song choice for this eppy, and the audio you used was perfect! I loved the split screens, and the way this whole vid flowed. You did a really great job!

Loved the text you used and LOVED the sort of "chaos" toward the end with all the voices and the sparkles! Great job and good luck!

Kat - I can't get enough of the song. I'm so happy you liked that. Your opinion always means a lot to me. Thanks! And awww, you really adore my vids? *blushing*
Morgan - thank you! Glad you liked split screen. Had a little doubt about that

xXAngelicEvilXx - (sorry, I don't think I know your name, sucky me

) Glad you liked that chaos. I was afraid it was too much

Thank you!

I love the episode you chose. So epic.. just like the song. I liked that glittery effect also. I think my problem with this was it felt a bit scattered to me. There was so much going on that a lot of key moments didn't have a clear focus or connection to the song. It got kind of montagey. I did like the part when Hurley got everyone rescued. The emotions were just right. I also get what you were trying to create with the splitscreen at the end. It was a nice idea, but I think a softer line or something would have worked better with the overall flowy/glittery feel of the video. It was a little busy for me to have to concentrate on all those cuts on either side of the screen. But I'm just nit picking. I was a very nice job and a beautiful presentation. Good luck!

Oh, this was sooo wonderful!!!! I love this song now, it just gives me such a good feeling! Your editing was quite incredible to those beats. Your depection of this episode was really great, the perfect audio choices and clip choices..I loved near the end with the split screens, you showed what was happening in both places, with the Losties (Jack with the walkie) and Charlie and Desmond! I loved the sparkly glow over some of the clips, beautiful job!

Good luck in the contest!
