*is stunned*

That was SO well done it just completely blew my socks off! *sound of Aislynn's socks blowing off*

Seriously though, I'm a total sucker for well done AU and this was just one of the best I've seen. Excellent song choice, too! I loved it! Amazing work! *applause applause*

Hello. Um. I have to say I have only watched this video about twenty million times, but it never gets old. It's so well done and so believable and Gah! I love it. And it's Jawyercita! I am pretty sure I've done this already, but *cracks knuckes* Let me pick out my favorite parts!

0:11 (Yeah, I'm starting that early.) The whole "secret signal" sequence is so well done. It made me blush the first time I saw it and it STILL does.

0:33 Okay so this moment when I first saw the "pensive shots" of the three of them, I couldn't help but think how much they mirrored each other. I don't know if you planned it with the clipchoice. But just, their eyes are a bit softer and tired looking. It's lovely.

The manip, starting at about 0:34! Um yay! It's got sequences and it's just, so freaking good. It's not just like a single manip but an entire sequence of them. It's so amazing and you are my queen.

0:50 - The hospital sequence. I love it. The whole christian being in the window thing. So good. I don't know why but I LOVED that bit so much when I first saw it.

1:16 - I LOVE this little moment of ConMama. I don't know what it is. The sadness. The angst. Hahaha. I just love it. The visuals of them holding on while he walks away. Too good!

The "It's all falling apart sequence" starting at about.... 1:37 through 2:05. Holy moly! I love this so much! The arguments seem so REAL. And It just guh! The angst! It's sooooooo good. I love this sequence the most and I just don't know what more I can say about it except possibly that you're a genius!

2:21 I sorta love this manip. A LOT. The back and forth shot of it. It's so subtle but so good.

Finally! The coda at the end, bringing it back around to the beginning.

I would have pointed out everything, but I didn't want to seem rediculous! Hahaha.

Aislynn - Thank you SO much. It relieves me to no end, you have no idea how much, to know this was believable. This was by far my biggest challenge to date, video wise, and I love that you liked it!

Oh, and song choice? That'd be the wife. She's my go to gal for songs these days!

Thanks again --ALSO..I am on my way this SECOND to go watch your vid because I've been meaning to comment on it when you first posted it...*is lazy like whoah*..so..yes..

KC - Thank you hun! It's finally up at LVI, can you believe it? We can now take another deep sigh of relief, hah! I love, LOVE that you pick out specific spots that you like, it makes me so excited. Especially the part at the hospital, because for some reason I was really torn between whether or not i should make jack/claire brother-sister or not. But i did and I'm glad it worked out, it makes it more angsty, no? lol which i dont think you'd complain about. And ohh the 'falling apart' sequence. Gotta love fighting

Thanks again, for your HUGE amount of help on this vid! I love you.
Ohhhhh I picked up a couple of kids on my way home tonight, I think they'll serve pretty well as replacements for our last ones. They know a thing or two about sandwhich making, so they should last us a while

How's their work with roasted turkey? That's the most important lunchmeat of all.

I had already seen this on youtube and i just LOVE it! the editing, the manipulations...
You proved it's possible to create ANY story.... it looks so real, and it's so far from reality...
How did you manage to make it so believable???

SuperKC - Hmmm roasted turkey...I'll look into that!

wolffootball37 - Thank you so much!

I guess slashy (and incesty) vids must just be my calling in life, lol! I'm glad you liked it, thank you!

Belxf - You're talking to ME about how to make things look believable. I think you're in no danger of your vids not looking believable!

Thank you though, I'm so so glad you liked it

Ladywilde -

Well thank you very much! And don't worry, I definitely don't think this is the last you'll see of Jawyercita!

KajaM - Thank you so much. The manips gave me a pretty hard time, but it's such a relief to know they turned out as convincing as I'd hoped. I'm so glad you liked it! And yay for Jawyercita!

Lostaway - Aww THANK YOU!

And thank all of you for the viewer award. And thank you for the council pick. I'll tell ya you guys sure know how to spoil a girl!

OHMIGUH have I seriously not commented on this?????????????

Dayln, seriously - this video totally blew me away!! I absolutely loved the song (any chance of a zShare link for it?), and the pastel colouring at the beginning and end was just beautiful! I have NO idea how you made this so convincing and believable! *bows down* I've said this before and doubtless I'll say it again; you NEVER cease to amaze me. I'm SO glad we get to share you at SVS!

Kayla,
Thank you so much!
Convincing and believable? Well THAT right there is exactly what I like to hear when I make a vid like this, so that pretty much made my day right there!
I'm so glad to be at SVS, thank you for having me (*is still searching for clips for you because my SPN brain isn't quite that large so it takes me a little longer*)

Thanks again!

-PS. Here's your link to that song:

You rock my FREAKIN' world, Dayln!!!!! Seriously! I watched this again last night and it's just a masterpiece. Major props for all of the masking; you're gonna have to teach me how to do that properly sometime, because I had a go last night with a clip of Dean, and let's just say... it wasn't going right.
