What a great character piece for Jack and his dad (and Sarah and Kate, too, but I really liked how it worked for Jack and Christian particularly!

). I enjoyed it so much!

Hey Ley this was a great idea and a sweet song. I enjoyed it. My favourite parts were when you interchanged characters from his past with people on the island like Sarah and Kate nice!

Nice job, Leylin.

Hadn't realised 'til this vid how perfect this song is for Jack and his father.

I really liked your use of fades and stuff, and the comparisons between Sarah and Kate. I also thought you used that black and white effect really creatively since it wasn't just for times from Jack's past or times on the island, it seemed to me like it was during the darkest times in his life.

Great vid.

Leylin, I really loved this! The fading you used was really nice, I think, because I actually felt like it almost trumped the need for flashes and quick changes on beats, and that's coming from someone who's trying to graduate from the Aislynn School of Beat-Use

I liked the literal usage of "I know how to save a life" and I really REALLY liked how you went back and forth with Sarah and Kate with the losing a friend thing...but, as already mentioned by Marcus and Ais, I think this was a perfect character study of Jack & Christian's father/son relationship.

The last clip that you used of Jack fading into black really summed up all his feelings and frustrations...GREAT way to end.

Leylin this is awesome. I love how you paralelled Kate and Sarah with the relationship with his dad. This video really illustrates how poor Jack keeps coming up with the short end of the stick no matter how hard he tries. What a great song to choose. You really edited the scenes with his dad really well. This was perfect.
