Wow! I am sorry I missed this earlier because it's a great little video! It's short and sweet, but it's a fantastic little mash-up of memories and I love the way you rooted it into the infamous "we have to go back" scene. I loved the audio used, and I liked the way you took advantage of audio cues even though it's not a fast paced upbeat sort of song. I *really* liked the way you showed Jack at Locke's funeral with the inverted color in the background when he mentions it, and I also really liked the way you split the screens at the end.

I think about the only concrit I can come up with is that some of the dialog had audio in it that went head to head with the music, but I don't think there's really much you can do about it. It didn't detract from the video very much, if at all, IMHO. Great job! I really enjoyed this video!

oooo that was gorgeous! I really enjoyed it! The ending was really deep! Its like she's always walking away from him and will continue to. Its like they can't stay away from each other but then they also can't stay together either and the pattern will continue. It was really sad and depressing actually. I'm not sure what your interpretation of the ending was but I loved it! It was my fav part! I also liked how you did the memories. I really don't have any crit. I gave you gold.

b/c I thought it was well thought out and executed.

I have to agree with you there, Nikki! I loved that part, too, and I thought it was such a poignant observation of the dynamics of Jack and Kate's relationship.

I liked the editing in this video alot (well done there), and I liked the song, but I didnt think the two went together. Maybe its just cause Ive listened to that song a billion times (love it) but I dont think it fit the mood you seemed to be trying to get at in the video. The song is more light, and happy about failling in love (even without the lyrics it still gives off that tone), and your video seemed to be about most of the downs in jates relationship, the opposite of light and happy. so the only thing id critique is maybe going with a better song choice that fits the mood of your video.. or making your video fit the song better. because i think with this song the video could've used more beat use. hope that all makes sense..
