that was so gorgeous. such a wonderful Shannon video. I loved how you emphasized her broken relationship with her stepmother at the start, those audio clips you used were so spot on. also loved how you showed her torment and confusion with her relationships with both Sayid and Boone and how she never really recovered from her father's death and it spilled into everything else in her life. stunning vid to a bittersweet sarah song; one of my faves

fantastic work; gold from me

good luck in the contest!

This was fabulous...every part was beautiful. You explained Shannon in such a lovely and unique way from her stepmother, Boone then Sayid. I loved when you zoomed into Boone's eye and Sayid's mouth. The beat use, coloring and lyric interpretation were just flawless and the song was really perfect for Shannon, Bravo! Good luck in the contest!

littleton_pace: Thank you! Shannon's stepmother was absolutely horrid. Going through those scenes again, I just felt so bad for Shannon. The girl just wanted to belong somewhere, but in the end, her only constant companion was death. Kind of tragic for the stepmum, of course, that her disdain of Shannon actually led to her son dying. Big ouch.

Jinlovessunxx: Thanks! Making the beat-use work in this vid was such a pain.

It's my favourite Sarah McLachlan song, but there's no denying it's got a pretty unique piano-drum-combination beat to it. The bit with Boone's eye was pretty much the first thing that popped into my head when I sat down to make this vid, it's such a vivid, iconic Boone scene.

buffyfan145: I miss Shannon like crazy. I'm so sick of the boys getting all the major storylines and island-mythology stuff. Shannon was awesome. She snarked, she shagged Sayid, she saw Walt... and yet they offed her. Unbelievable.
