I tried to leave a better description, but the site kept telling me I was using inappropriate "characters," whatever that means! Sorry!

I recommend the HQ version on youtube.

Thanks for the support LVI team! I hope you can see the vid without the robot movements!

Hi!

Sometimes the site will give you that message when you use certain characters, such as : or ; . I changed your description for you.

Very nice character study of Kate!

Silver rocks! Thanks guys!

Thanks for the positive comments. I tried to challenge myself by editing 3 different (albeit subtle) ways for the 3 different chorus repeats. I nearly went BLIND, so I'll be doing something a bit different next time!

I just noticed something! I forgot to mention that this is NOT a shipper vid (Sorry!). It looks a bit like one, but what I was trying to show was that, unable to "run" on the island, Kate has to face these two sides of herself--the Sawyer side and the Jack side. Unfortunately, she just isn't built that way---she's gotta keep movin'.

Then there's the horse. . .is it telling her to "run" or to STOP "running?" Why does she say she "knows" it?

Thanks again!

I already left you a comment on youtube but just wanted to let you know again that I really enjoyed this....oh and Kate says she knows the horse b/c she saw it when she was trying to escape from the Marshall. I think its telling her to stop running....but thats just my opinion.

nikkimonique,

I saw your comment before--thanks so much! My spouse actually likes this vid better than Jack. I didn't think it would make as big as an impact as the jack vid because it's slower and more abstract, but I don't mind that too much because I really dig kate's character. The center of her personality is completely ambiguous. That's hard to pull off in a really cool show like LOST.

Not that I'm complaining AT ALL! I'm thrilled that LVI folks dig anything I do. I still can't figure out what the total MB of my vids are. That's how green I am!

I'm sorry I didn't post to you sooner--I'm moving soon, and I was enraged wtih my first annoying experience with youtube (which seems to be mostly fixed at the moment).

Thanks for the kind words!
