     HELP! I've read nothing but great things about this video, but for reasons beyond my knowledge I can't get it to play.

    Is there something special I need to download???

     Hey LithiumDoll,

    I love the work you put into your music videos. You got me hooked way back when u did the Farscape Vids on Kanas!!

    keep it up!

     I just have to say that this video is wonderfully done and it is, of course, MY favorite Sawyer video in the entirety of ever. I love it. The song fits him almost perfectly and the timing of the effects/choice of clips just reinforces it.

    <3!

     I can't believe some people have said this isn't the best of the three of your's I think out of your three videos, this IS the best! It's one of my favorites and you just used all the clips so wisely and perfectly to the song. Amazing, amazing job. I can't even name one favorite part cause I love the WHOLE video!

     I know I'm incredibly late, but I just wanted to say how excited I am that you used Kane in a video. I love them.

    And omg, your video was SO good. I absolutely loved it. I loved how you did the Sawyer/Kate kissing scene. You're one of my favorite Lost vidders, and I can't wait to see more.

     Ah. Cool. Yep makes sense but seems like you just reinforced the idea in my head that your vids are as hard to make as they look. I was hoping there was some magical script do dad that timed colour fades to the audio beats. Silly me.

    Thanks for the tutorial. I have to give this a try and see what havoc...I mean fun I can wreak...I mean have.

     Ah hah - this one should translate easily, it's just tweaking technique.

    Essentially, rather than making full fades to black on the clips (or 100% > 0% opacity), I did it from 100% > 75% opacity on the first beat, 100% > 50% on the second and 100% > 25% on the last one. It makes it slightly less jarring

    In that case, it actually wasn't a fade to black at all - which might be a factor in the final effect so I'll explain that bit as well just in case.

    Basically I had two identical clips, but one was the colouring adjusted and one wasn't. I wanted to go from normal colour in the vid to the hypercolouring, so I faded the normal clip using the technique above until the coloured one was dominant.

    Does that make any sense at all? o_0 If not, I'll try again tomorrow when my brain isn't making strange creaking noises
