That was really lovely.

And my personal thanks to you for not really focusing on the finale. ;)

But really - great overview, very comprehensive and affecting. Some really nice clip choices in there.

I so appreciate your watching and commenting. Thank you so much!!!

Well, you're welcome, but it's too bad there was so little pertinent material in it. Can we call a do-over?

I just watched BSG through 4.10 and I had a very strong resolve to not read any recaps and spoilers until I get last ten episodes and I wanted also to wait with downloading this vid. But yesterday I got angry a few times for a few reasons and then I though: A hell, so what, I can at least let myself to know the ending (yeah, I can be very logical...:)).

Anyway, wow!!! You know, I noticed that recently with every vid you create more and more of... kind of your own world, I could say, like no one else. Strange, strange, disturbing music but somehow suited fot this weird story, makes me shiver.

It's really hard to analize it, I'm amazed how you manage to control these strange camera movements in the series. I like the beginning with the radio, overlays, colors. But the most I like, surprisingly, the sequence with D'Anna from 03:29.

Wow! I can't believe you've gone through all the DVDs - except that the show is so awesome that I can completely see doing a marathon! Hope you're able to get your hands on the "final ten" soon, but thank you for deciding not to wait to watch my vid - though I'm sorry if you've been spoiled a bit.

......... I noticed that recently with every vid you create more and more of... kind of your own world, I could say, like no one else. Strange, strange, disturbing music but somehow suited fot this weird story, makes me shiver.

This is truly a great compliment! ((hugs!)) It isn't every vid, of course, but I love when a song just floods me with images, rather than a "story", and I can sort of "paint" my own picture. This song did just that - although why did it have to repeat the "sewing machine" line!!!! gahhhhh!!!! (the second time - well I just interpeted it as "sowing" machine - so that was the reason for the hybrid tub at about 2:37.

But the most I like, surprisingly, the sequence with D'Anna from 03:29.Wow, that's my favorite ( ... )

Hey there, I still have yet to see this. I am sorry I didn't even know you'd posted a new vid until I happened to see the other day that you'd entered it at DPTM. RL has been quite heavy lately....but I'll be watching this soon and I'll be in touch...promise. :)

Hey, no worries, RAS. There be spoilers here, so I had sort of resigned myself that you might not get around to watching it......for a while.....*sigh*

I hope RL takes a turn for the better! *glares sternly at RL!!*

Errm, Abject apologies for being late with this. I always feel so inarticulate when responding to your vid posts. Your vids just leave me speechless and saying I loved this one seems so inadequate. Well you must know I love it - everything from the effortless cross fades in and out - the colouring in the ellen clips. This song is perfect for a review of BSG, almost as if it was written for it. - Right end of gushing - *hides head in embarrassment* By the way where do you find your music girl?

Aww, thank you! I do admit to being extremely proud of how this one turned out....so yeah, it's great to hear from you that you loved it!!! :-)

the colouring in the ellen clips.
I didn't do any colouring in the Ellen clips, tho - that red, sparkly wormhole thing was a new effect they made just for 415 No Exit and I just lifted the beautiful thing!

By the way where do you find your music girl?

yeesh, that is the question, and the rub, ain't it? Everywhere, anywhere.... this particular song though I happened to have on a soundtrack for a movie called "The Last Kiss" which i must have bought for a song I thought might fit Farscape. Since I've broke free of Moya's tractor beam, I've been able to look through my own music collection and look at songs with a more open mind. "I Did It All" (used in my second Starbuck vid) was also a "found" song on an album I'd owned for years.

This was really lovely. Great song, great clips. I really liked seeing the Cylon story with season 4.5 footage.

Great job!

I also loved the Cylons as they developed in the last half of the final season...especially the Chief (and his transformation into Galen) and really enjoyed making this vid. I tried to use the humans only when absolutely necessary.

Thanks so much for your comment. I really appreciate it. :-)
