    Sawyer's disease is like a rootless tree that wraps itself around him, infecting everything, and perhaps that's why Kate is saying goodbye, but if he rids himself of it, will it cost him what he has left? [Warning: Heavy angsting.]

     Thank you so, so much, Lostaway! :D!! I'm glad you liked my choices of color (again, sorry for the darkness!) and the voices, which I'm glad worked out! This comment was wonderful - made today another awesome day where I can be all about the glee. ;D

    And OMG. I can't BELIEVE I got a Gold Council Pick! :O!!! I'm deliriously happy!! It means a lot!! Thank you! And thank you to everyone who gave me a Gold (and even a silver~!) Viewer's Pick! That's just awesome~!!! <3

     Wow. Just. Amazing. I loved the coloring (though I have to agree with a few, some of it was a little too dark), but the clips were beautifully put together, very poetic. I really liked how you incorporated the voices in with the lyrics, it was perfect. Really fantastic video.

     Leniiiina! You have an account here! D: For quite a while, too! I never knew!

    And about your comment - just wow~! Best comment ever! :D!!! Seriously, though, your comment really made the whole video worth it, and I'm so honored by what you say. :D! Just thank you so, so much! I'm glad you liked my characterization, and just yes, this made me so happy. *HUGS*

     Goddddddddd. I can't believe this is your first fanvid. This is so so perfect. This is amzing. It's perfect, the song, the beat use, the choice of clips, the story, the characterization. One of the best Kate/Sawyer and Sawyer vids I've ever seen and believe me, they are so many so good in here. Wow. I'm beyond impressed. You are genius!

     Ahhh, thank you so much, Aislynn! !! It definitely makes it worth that I didn't give up on it 'cause I did get frustrated when I was trying to think of which clips would go where (Sawyer has so many moments of angst, gah!), haha. I'm beyond happy that you enjoyed my first fanvid. Having a vidding career is the best thing eveeer~

    (And ah! Thank yoooou for the advice - this way no one will ever strain their eyes with any future fanvids of mine again! ;D)

    Again, thank you! It means a lot to me to get comments like this!
  • Aislynn posted on 01.03. at 20:28
     That was really, really well done! An awesome character study and a fantastic start to a vidding career! *applauds* Can't wait to see more from you!

    (And about the darkness thing? Vegas has an effect called "Levels" that works really well to make a dark clip easier to see without causing it to "gray out" like just raising the brightness can do. )

    Again, a great vid all on its own but a really spectacular first vid as well! Really enjoyed it a lot!

     Oh wow! It's lovely to wake up to these lovely comments! !!!

    Kat: Gah, sorry! :O I'll definitely let ya know the next time I submit! I'm so glad you liked the 'let me out' parts - I was so trying to save all the climactic stuff for last. And a gold? WOW! Thank you so much, Kat!

    nikkimonique: Thank you! ! Ever since I saw that scene with Kate looking under the bed, I thought it would be awesome for a video to have her see kid James, and I'm glad it corresponded with the song for me to do that. I'm reaaally happy that you liked it!

    Killers Angel Eyes: Isn't that song just so lovely? I love Damien Rice's emotion! I'm glad that you liked the tiny bit of AU-ish matching scenes I threw in there! And wow thank you so much for the gold!

    Joon: I'm glad you thought it was entertaining, and thank you! ;D

    Finally, I'm sorry for the straining of your eyes, guys! D: I swear it wasn't that way in Sony Vegas, but I think I've learned my lesson about Youtube and putting heavy darkness over things, ahaha. *headdesk!*

    I really can't stop saying thank you enough! I've been lurking for a year admiring all of you guys' work, so it's awesome to get such wonderful comments from you and to be able to join you all in the fun of vidding. *HUGS YOU ALL* Just yes, I'm happy and I will stop rambling now! !

     That was really great for a first vid!
    The only thing that bothered me were the dark clips but everything else was really good! I really enjoyed it!
  • Killers Angel Eyes posted on 01.03. at 15:10
     I love that song so much. I really liked how you got the clips to match (like kid Sawyer and Kate looking under the bed). It was a little dark in places which was kind of distracting. But I'm giving it gold anyways cause I loved it so much anyway
  • nikkimonique posted on 01.03. at 14:43
     oooo, cool vid Nat. I really liked your lyric interpretation and yay, someone finally used the kid Sawyer under the bed scene and Kate seeing Sawyer's boots under the bed! That was cool! Your beat use was awesome too!
    The dark clips kind of bugged me though, but I'll forgive you for that.
    Can't wait to see more from you!
