However, I'm sort of in Paul's camp, if a little different: I didn't think the road was distracting per se, but I did feel that the road got a little static just sitting there, for what that's worth - I'm not sure what Vegas specifically lets you do with the inner pictures, but it'd be interesting to see if changes to the road itself might have a positive or negative effect. Plus, will you hate me or love me if I say that I know the Beatles well enough (used to play this song on the piano) that I can tell where you cut the song? I could, for what that's worth, and that twigged me slightly.
Dunno if that helps, but there you go!
Thanks for the comments. The road in the middle, mainly, was something to cover the two clips merging. I thought about maybe having it an actual moving road, or coopers image would slowly be coming from it, but with the two other clips moving it would be way too distracting. And the part about the song editing.
Good video! I liked the road, and of course I liked the characters - the muted color was good, as color in this would have only been distracting. Everyone's pretty much said all my good comments, so I'll just add that I like the fact that you kept two stories going throughout - from a plotting angle, that's tough.

I appreciate it was very difficult to keep all those things in check though you did a great job considering. The thing that I think really worked on Aislynn's vid was that she had different sections of the video playing on their own and then she'd stop the frame on the other one rather than having them going all at the same time aswell.
[This has been the end of Pauls' opinion take it onboard if you want or totally ignore my evil negative comments
I see. I totally agree with you, allot of it was confusin to look at. I wanted to use the stop frame, but i yet to know how to do it. Thanks agian for your imput Paul!
Here's some parts where I thought the road pic was distracting:

Thanks everyone sooo much for your comments!!!
Uruviel- Thanks soo much for your comments Heather. Im glad you liked it! Yeah it was really tricky to do, not exactly the frame work, but finding footage for both sides for every second. Thanks agian.
Kajam- WOW! Masterpiece?
yeah, i remember you talking about that. You should really finish it! It is a nice story to watch though.
That was one of the first things accually i thought of while mapping out the vid. Im glad you liked it! Thanks agian for the lovely words!
Belxf- Thank you soo much! I forgot to also thank you in the vid for helping me with the coloring when i was first starting.
cylune- Thanks allot Cynthia! Yeah i love the song also, though after two Beatles vids in a row, I think im done using them for a while.
SuperKC- YAY! Thanks soo much for commenting and BETA-ing the vid KC. Im soo glad you liked it. Im glad you approved with the look! Thanks agian.
Izzy94- Hey Stranger! Thanks allot for comming and commenting on the vid! Yeah it was kinda hard to make my scenes strech out without that much beat use. I just had to trust my self while doing it. thanks allot for the comments! im glad you liked it!
LOSTOnAnIsland- Hey Ash! Thanks sooo much for commenting!!! *hugs* Im glad you liked it. *gives her free bottles of wine!*
charmed_charlie- Charlie! Thanks soo much for commenting! Lol thanks, your comments are very flattering. Im glad you liked this, i was kinda worried about it when submitting.
Polarbear- Hey Paul! Thanks soo much for commenting! Im glad you liked the idea of the vid. I listned to this song after the season was over and it kinda clicked.
Which ones? Could you give me examples? I always appreciate your imput Paul. Thanks allot for commenting!
Aislynn- Thanks for commenting Ais! Yeah "Walking Behind" was the Key influience to this idea (though you managed to use the split screan at a greater effect) Yeah it was pretty difficult, like expecially at the parts where its only music. The part at the beginning where lockes crying in the car gave me the most trouble. I can totally see why it was soo stressfull. Yeah it was totally like making 2 vids. Im sooo glad you approved! Thanks sooo much for your imput.
Awww, thanks so much for the shout-out! *hugs* How'd you like working with 2 constant video feeds like that? It's tricky, isn't it?
You did really great managing both stories at the same time! I loved the parallels that you drew between Sawyer and Locke's stories as they converged together like that! *applause applause* You kept the beat use going great in the middle of all of that, as well!
What's really cool with a vid like this is that you can actually watch it over again just on one side or the other and get a whole vid out of it, but to have two going at the same time working their way along the "winding road" until they come together is just awesome! Great, fabulous work!
Awesome idea to show the ultimate crossing of paths in the lives of Sawyer and Locke. Those being two of my favourite characters it was great to see a vid dedicated to them aswell
Wow awesome video that was frikkin amazing
Loved the split screens they rocked (well so did all the video but you know
you're videos are just amazing and this was was no different totally rocked
hehe, told you I'd watch it
Anyways, LOVES it!
Great, song, beatuse, effects, split screen, comparisons, colouring.....
Gah, you're just awesome!
Its awesome brother
Love all the split-screens, a slow song - and you still managed to get that holy beat use in
Great job
