You know, it has taken me quite a lot of time and practice to figure out how to make a really good vid and, in the end, to get invited into the Council. That's what you really need to become a good vidder: patience and practice
You seem to be a fast-learning and eager vidder (and your vidding skills are getting better and better), so it wouldn't surprise me to see you in the Hall of Fame soon.
Thanks, that is some real praise coming from a CM *bows down in awe* and I can officially say now that Seven Deadly Sins will probably be finished by the end of the week. *Have been working on it for over a month now, getting excited to finish it and start the next*
Wow, thank you, DS!!
Well, I don't like Charlie at all, too, to be honest. He's really getting on my nerves with his strange and pushy behaviour, but the song was great for a Charlie vid.
Ashamed? Geez, Warren, there's nothing for you to be ashamed of cause your vids are great! "The Game" is still one of my favourites and "Hallelujah" is simply amazing
*wants to be on the Council but not good enough*
Why thank you!!

All I can say is... no wonder it won the contest! Amazing beat use, awesome effects and transitions, and a brilliant character study of Charlie.
*frustration* How do you get your vids to be so amazingbrilliantlovelywonderful??

Lol. Saved it onto my computer... your vid is miiiiiiine.
Sorry. This is what happens when you don't have sweets for a week and then you eat a whole load of them.
But I digress. Amazing video. Period.
*is in awe of beat use skills
The thing about this contest is that the winner should be able to tell a story while still making a video absolutely packed with beats. Well, you did it, and you did it with style
This vid makes me ashamed of my own vids.
Wow.....
I was going to watch your video faster had I not read it was about Charlie's drug addiction... (I really don't like Charlie anymore), but when I did watch it, it was nothing short of spectacular!! My favorite parts were the piano (that really drew me in, with all the clips of his past and the people he loved and who betrayed him) and the scene where Claire slaps him and walks away with the intercuts of purple and zooming in. I would never have thought of that.
So since I went into this video extremely annoyed with Charlie, you should know I think this is the best Charlie vid I have ever seen.
Hehe, thanks Kaja, but thanks to all the CMs for actually implementing my idea.
Thanks a lot for all your nice comments, guys!
Thank you!!!
Yes, it has taken quite a lot of time. Fortunately, I didn't have to be so picky when it came to the clip choice, but adjusting the clips to all those different beats was kinda tricky... but a lot of fun, too!
Um. Wow.
I haven't commented on a LOST video in so long, and this one made me get off my lazy ass (okay, not literally, since I'm still on my ass, but you get the point) and do so. This video was just..wow. Your beat use was TERRIFIC, and not only that, you included so much emotion that gets me re-watching. Very awesome job. I especially loved the parts between 0:57-1:28. Those quick zoom ins to the beats were very well-done. I also loved the ending with the very quick clips to the beats. Great job once again! A well-deserved win!
That was beyond impressive! I can't imagine the amount of work and time you had to put into the vid it was phenomenal. I am a Charlie fan and it just fit perfectly!
Great WORK!
Brilliant as usual!
I think your beat use was phenomonal! Even if you didn't catch every beat, you kept up with the pace of the song perfectly so no one noticed. Also, I really loved the beginning (it gave you that high feeling, as Paul said) and the end where all the prior scenes overlapped like all the terrible things he's done were forming in Charlie's to torment him.
I haven't seen the other entries yet, but it definitely deserved a prize!
