this was mind-blowing! The musically in the bridge is perfect. I love the circles theme in the beginning, and especially how you essentially start the the vid with Rose Tyler touching the lone dalek (which is really a weird inversion to Oswin's story).

I'm so glad you caught that, and that you thought so! Seeing that scene for the first time AFTER watching Asylum of the Daleks, I was thinking about Oswin's storyline the whole time. The whole Daleks-using-humans thing keeps coming back again and again. (I actually used Mickey's hand touching the Dalek capsule at the end of that sequence, instead of Rose's.) Anyway, I ramble! Thanks for letting me know you liked it.

Ok, so as such_heights has already said - the two of us flailed A LOT over this! In fact we watched it twice through in quick succession, and then flailed some more. Visually it's STUNNING - I love the way you use all the circles, all the iconic Dalek design imagery, and how it's cut *so* sharply to the beat. I love how it focusses on the gloriousness that is Oswin, whilst seamlessly bringing in so many other charaters, from Harriet Jones to Gwen and Ianto. It's this beautifully tight, meta-y vid, and yet is also emotional and just oh my god have I mentioned that I love it? I feel like I need to watch it about eleventy billion more times to get all the layers out of it. And I might just retire from vidding myself...!

Heh, I was so giddy reading her description of your reactions, but this is even better! Thank you so so much! Was super worried the whole time that I wouldn't be able to blend all of the characters and episodes in a cohesive way and that it would just come out looking like a big WTF. Very reassuring to read how you saw it!

from Harriet Jones to Gwen and Ianto
So cool that you caught Ianto!!

This is a frigging awesome video, seriously. I love it. Also, you gave me a new remix of an old favorite song to listen to, so I thank you so much for that. I have it on repeat right now. Mind if I share it on my Tumblr (noregrets-notears-noanxieties)? I can link back to this post if you want.

Really glad you liked it! Yeah, I love Buoy's remix of this song. I was surprised it didn't have more views on YT. As Milly mentioned it's already on Tumblr, but I'm flattered that you wanted to add it!

DUDE. Seriously. How does one reply to that? I don't feel the slightest bit deserving of such a reaction, but that doesn't make me the slightest bit less excited about reading it!

Fractured/complex POVs like this one really make me want to dive in and explore them in vid form, and I just can't. resist! Either that or I'm a Dalek and haven't yet realized it. .... Hmm.

No joke, thank you. In my mind I'm going to forever remember the vid being "THIS THING OF DARK GORGEOUSNESS."
