     Thank you so much! Glad you liked the b&w/colour effect. I agree with you, it's such a beautiful movie... but endlessly sad

     Oh my... that was such a beautiful movie and your vid just made me all teary-eyed. You really hit the right tone. Love your trick of making him B&W and then colour as he learns to love the chinks next door. Beautiful!

     Oh wow, the way you used the coloring was just fantastic! Beautiful and totally emotional, just wonderfully done! *applause*

     Jemma: Aww, thank you so much for your kind words, hon! *hugs* I'm glad the concept of the colours was so easy to understand And yes, the movie is SO SAD, but it's also one of the best movies I've ever seen. Clint Eastwood is such a genius!

    Macaila: Thank you so much for your wonderful comment! I'm glad you liked this version of the song. It gives me chills and I wanted to use something quite different from the original version (although I love that one, too).

     Amazing vid,Karolina! The effects were really cool and perfect for this video.I loved that it slowly gained more color as Clint's character became more accepting and understanding. The music was beautiful as well and it fit the movie perfectly.I really enjoyed your vid.

     omg Karolina, this made me want to tear up! This movie was so sad But you were so clever with this!!!! I love how you made him black and white for the first part of the vid, because he was 'colourblind' and still mean and angry, and then that moment in the vid where we saw him bonding with his neighbours, becoming part of their lives, and then he turned in to colour was so wonderful! I loved that whole bit. This vid was gorgeous. Wonderful job Karolina!

     Heather, we cross-posted, so I didn't see your comment before. Thank you so much for watching & commenting! I'm glad you liked it

     Nikki: Thank you so much, love! I really appreciate it! You should watch the movie if you get a chance to. It is one of the best movies I've ever seen! It starts out being somewhat slow, but at some point it grabs you and pulls you in. It's so emotional!

    Brooke: Thank you so much!! I'm glad that you thought it did the film justice, yay! There were still some things I wanted to show in the vid like the fact that

    [spoiler:585421c997]Walt was really sick and probably would've died sooner than later[/spoiler:585421c997]

    but that would've needed a lot more explaining.
    So I decided to cut it down to the main storyline.

     This was lovely, Karolina! The music gave this vid a certain mood and it was really well-done.

     The effects were so great. I thought the song was so perfect for this; and by the way it was SUCH a great film. I agree with Nikki; I've never seen this song used this way and it was again perfect. That's what I love about music; it can be perceived in so many different ways. You really did this film justice, Karolina.

    Nikki the movie is so powerful.
