Hey you! I finally was able to check your latest vid out. I am not familiar with the song or the artist. However having said that I thought it was a great choice. You always seem to pick something totally non main stream and make it flow perfectly. As we discussed I stopped watching the series and I am not so sure why since I did enjoy it and it normally kept my attention and many times on the edge of my seat. Too bad it's not coming back...great work. But what else is new when it comes to you and vidding.....you are a shining star!

Love,

Me....

hmmph! I don't think aol relayed this to me....and between that silly personal issue i had this weekend, and the lack of response to this vid, I haven't been checking here much. so glad I did!

You always seem to pick something totally non main stream and make it flow perfectly.
and you always seem to know just the right thing to say! (((you))) The song doesn't exactly say "let's rock" but for Cameron, the tone of it, and the content seemed just right.

Isn't it odd that the women of Farscape held little vidding appeal to me, and yet the women of the I, O.T. do? That's probably because no other show has quite such a compellingly stunning male lead as our dear Farscape had. lol!

Thank you for your comment. I'm glad you enjoyed this.

It's all about appeal...and I think it's perfectly okay that the women of Farscape just didn't grab you to the point that you wanted to vid them. And I can't agree with you more that Farscape had such a compelllingly stunning male lead that I have yet to come across anyone that moves me the way Crichton's character did.

So do you have any more vids in the pipeline?

Sorry I’m here so late. Unfortunately, even though I watched the first season and something from season two of TSCC, it isn’t the show that grabbed me emotionally, so this theme and in some part music are rather far from me and maybe that’s why it’s hard for me to fully appreciate this vid. But I really admire what you’ve done here, especially the way you used the lyrics of this song, using its literal sense (like “open me” or “broken parts” for Cameron) but not losing deeper meaning. Of course, not knowing the ending of the show, I can’t follow the whole story of Cameron I suspect… Still, I like many little moments you chose, like Cameron with dove , in the car with her hand outside, feeling the wind or the dancing scene.

Thank you, Diar. I perfectly understand that it's difficult to watch vids from shows that have left you cold, so I really appreciate your taking a look at this and for giving detailed comments. I think the scenes where she's sticking her hand and foot out the window are what got me to make this video - it just intrigued me. And of course, Summer Glau is so gorgeous and talented - this made her a compelling focus for a vid, imho.

It amused me how pulled in I was by Cameron and her backstory. If you know Buffy then you'll remember Giles musing "A vampire in love with a slayer...." and that's kind of how I felt about Cameron...."a terminator in love with a human...." It got me writing a bit of fan fic in my head. but bah! to pen and paper (or Word) and hello video editor!

My dear dear friend,
I watched this already, but am thinking of starting to watch TSCC so am putting off watching it again so I won't spoil myself. (I don't recall much of what was going on, only that it was so beautifully edited to a wonderful song) It is insanely difficult to keep myself from your gorgeous work...but I know I'll be rewarded all the more when I view this post TSCC watch.

(Miss you terribly, haven't seen you about at all. Surgery is next week...I'll definitely get to you before then. xoxoxox)

Hey there, don't worry about not watching the vid. you're in good company!!!! RL's been biting me in the ass lately, so yeah, hard to be here, when there's so much to do there. i'm sure it's just temporary.

I hope everything goes well for you next week. Pretty soon this will all be behind you. You are always in my thoughts. ☯

I've just realised to my shame that I hadnt seen this vid yet *hangs head in shame*

I havent seen anything of this series at all but I did enjoy your vid. Your overlays and timing are impeccable as always. I have just discovered Ingrid Michaelson myself (I have a couple of her songs in mind for a True Blood vid). Her voice seems to suit the lost little girl I see of Cameron in your vid. I love the clip where she sat on the bonnet (sorry hood!) of the car imitating the other girl. I've ordered season 1 of this series now, just to see what its all about. Great vid - and great inspiration as always. xx

Blitzed to Earp.....helloooooooooooo!!!!!

I'm so glad you watched this even though you haven't seen the series yet. I'm really happy that this vid's inspired you to give it a chance. I know you won't be disappointed. If you know the first two Terminator movies, you'll be able to see all the tiny homages to them.....including of course, naming the Terminator after James Cameron.

Let me know what you think!!!! and thanks for your comments. and hey! i love all that aussie slang so keep the bonnet on! lol.

I've seen the first eppys now - and I'm hooked. Even the old fella is watching it (albeit sneakily over the top of his laptop)

See you in November?
