Sweet video!! I loved all the endings and also like how you kept little clips of what happened before with the clips of what happened after. Nice ending with the text as well! Good luck!

Very cool ending. I really liked the message at the end. What's happiness without a little misery to go along right? haha maybe thats true love.

Think that was my fav. part of the vid...that and the Jack and Ana hook up. Haha I just watched SWAT.

I'm not sure ( and this just my opinion) if I liked the constant video overlays. I think I would have liked it if you had either done a split screen or just switched back and forth to the scenes. That way I could have clearly seen it and gotten the full effect. But...great job anyway and good luck!!

Hey dear - I wanted to say that I really enjoyed this!! I loved the music and I think you did a wonderful job crafting what happened after the bomb went off.

I enjoyed the overlays too, but I think they would have worked a lot better and been more effective if you had done some coloring or brightened them up a bit. Sometimes they were too dark, so you couldn't see what they were, and sometimes they didn't go over the scene very well. Like Nikki said - I think a split screen or cookie cutter would have helped counteract this...

That's my only criticism though. Overall, I loved the video and the message at the end was great!! Good luck with the contest dear!

that was really good but let me clear something up; Jack/Ana, Kate/Marshal(forgot his name), Sawyer/Cassidy? The overlays got a little annoying after a while, but the songs you used and the scenes were perfect, best of luck in the contest

This was really cool Stacey! I love how you used the overlays over the bits with the audio, although it was tricky making out some of the scenes, like Nikki and Abby said, maybe some split screens or brightening up might have made it a little easier. I really loved the bit near the end with Sawyer going back to Cassidy and Clementine and her "Daddy" awwww so cute! And that writing at the end was perfect! Wonderful vid and good luck in the contest hun!

Really great job Stace! My favorite part was the creative pairings you came up with at the end. And I loved Clementine's Daddy!

I agree with the others-the overlays, while a very cool idea, were very hard to see sometimes. A split screen or going back and forth between the two might have worked better.

Stace, I thought that was fantastic!!!

I know people feel that the overlays were hard to see, and I could be wrong, but my interpretation is that we weren't supposed to see the overlays all that well... I took them to be sort of the "ghost of what would have been" (had 815 crashed afterall)... just sort of a faded but lingering presence of this other life they would have had. That said, I don't think split screens or different opacity would have gotten that across. I think it worked perfectly the way you did it, if I'm right about the "ghost of what would have been" thing.

I also think that the choice of music was completely awesome! It fit the mood *perfectly*!!! Great job and good luck in the contest!!!

LOVED IT!!! ♥♥♥

Great vid, Stacey! Love how it ends.

that was cool stace!

loved the start with the overlays paired with the jate/suliet audio. and juliet echoing her mother's words. loved the jules/rachel stuff too, and pairing kate in the shop with the memory of her their with aaron was great too. and Jana, with ana all bad-ass cop!

very cool to see the different storylines and how they'll play out. Love that you dealt with the sawyer/cassidy/clementine storyline too. good luck in the comp!

Aww, this was quite lovely Stacey!!!

The music was so gorgeous and sweet!! Your clip use was fabulous, all of your overlays were awesome! You showed a lot of story in your vid, showing details and thoughts of the characters wonderfully

Good luck in the contest!!

Sorry that it took so long to get back to you all! Thanks so much for commenting on it, it really was a labor of love.

xXAngelicEvilXx- Thanks so much for your comment, glad that you liked it.

Nikki- Thanks Nik...The more and more I thought about this vid the more and more I loved the concept of Jana. Ana was definately a soul that Jack could have tried to fix.

Abby- Thanks so much hun! Im so glad you liked it!

loudpaw- Thanks so much for your comment. Yep...Im a big lover of AU pairings so this was really fun. With Jana and Kate and the Marshal, they definitely gave it an AU kick.

Thanks again!

Emma- Thanks so much for commenting Em! Glad that you loved the Clementine "Daddy"...big thanks to Kat for that.

Becca- Thanks so much Bec! I loved doing the AU pairings for this one...my fave is actually Kate and the Marshal.

Julia- I love you, I love you, I love you! (Not that I dont love all you others, cause you know that I do

) But yeah thats actually exactly what I was going for with this vid. The before the bomb overlays were memories and the after the bomb werent really there but lingering reminders of the what would have beens. And not really reminders for them, but for us, but the main thing was what was happening in the forefront.

You my dear were dead on about it!

Thanks so much for your comment!

Heather- Thanks so much for your comment!!

Kat- Thanks hun! Im so glad that you liked the overlay paired w/the audio. Of the before the bomb parts big surprise that my favorite involves Juliet.

Its when you see Juliet echoing her mother. I LOVED showing Ana as a tough cop!

Thanks again hun!

Kate- Thanks so much for your comment Kate, I was trying to get alot in there...this vid turned out being my longest vid at exactly 5 minutes.

Thanks again.

Ais- Thanks so much...even though your words are paid with cookies.

Yep you two were right on...after seeing the vid again, I do agree that I might have lightened them up a bit, but I was afraid to get them "too" visible. SO glad that you and everyone loved the Jana...makes me want to try and vid them.

I also loved giving them all someone to come home to. Only one not to have a lover is Juliet of course, but I was taking from an interview that I saw with Liz where she said that she would love to see Juliet back with her sister.

So ta-da.

Thanks again so much to you and everyone!
