     great job! I loved the cool editing and the lyrics really fit. The beginning was very eerie! Heres another example of what all you can do on WMM!

     Thanks, Aislynn! I don't listen to Coldplay, really, but when I was looking through lyrics to use, this one popped out at me as perfect for Desmond, and I like him, so I figured I'd do a vid on him. If nothing else, I can pick fitting songs, even if my vidding skills don't always do them justice.

    And yes, the font thing was hopelessly nerdy, but what can I say?

     This was an excellent song choice for Desmond. Just spot-on! Awesome lyric interpretations and I loved the X and Y, too! (I might not have caught the connection between the font and the song, but I certainly knew it looked "right." )

    Very, very nicely done! One of my personal favs from this contest!

     Yeah it did appeal so good job

     SuperKC: That's what I was going for - the song is circular and doesn't really have an end, either - so it's good to know it came through. Thanks!

    Uruviel: Puzzle piece effect was downloaded from somewhere (do a search for it), but with it I taught myself how to write XML effects, so it's not entirely lazy. I had to use it for that lyric, though.

    KajaM: Thanks! One of the one things I do OK on, generally, is lyric use and picking fitting songs, but I wasn't sure if all of the lyrical connections would come through on this one. Apparently it worked!

    charmed_charlie: Thanks! Good to know it appealed to folks who aren't interested in the character. I think (?) I have the only fast song, or one of the few, of the contest, and I chose it deliberately because it was fast, and reasonably rocking.

    cylune: Thanks as well! Good to know the captions were appreciated; I wasn't sure if they'd be a distraction. The font was deliberately chosen, too, as 'The World Turned Upside Down' is an old English song about Oliver Cromwell, and I wanted to use a Restoration-era (1600s Britain) font, to make the connection. Yes, I'm an English history dork.

     Great Desmond video, very cool
    Don't really watch that many Desmond videos but that really rocked

     I love well-made Desmond vids and this here is one of them. You did a great job on the interpretation of the lyrics. That was very nice!

     Nice vid! My fav part was that puzzle effect, very cool!

     Hey great job here. What I think you really conveyed here was the seeming endlessness of poor desmond's journey. What MORE does he have to go through? You know? Poor fellow!
