Haunted by Watcher_junior
Title: Haunted
Author: Watcher_junior
Fandom: Firefly
Pairing: River/Jayne
Pros: clear story, good editing
Cons: a little low on the actual Rayne
{ xxx } The author gives us a summary of the plot of the video, which goes like this: "From the moment she arrives on Serenity, River feels a deep connection to Jayne. In fact, the connection is so strong that she frequently has visions when he's in danger. The closer they become, the more she senses that something is going to happen to him, but he thinks she's just crazy. Can she convince him that the threat is real before it's too late?"
The video succeeds perfectly in conveying the stress River feels over her visions and the fear for Jayne's life, but I don't see much of the actual Rayne in this one. It is still one of the best Rayne videos with a story though. The editing is peaceful, as is the song that fits its subject beautifully. The song sounds like River, or her inner voice; it has that same poetic sound to it.
The flashbacks are inserted into River scenes well and separated from the normal view with a black & white effect. It serves its purpose without standing out too much. I don't generally warm up to a lot of the effects, but this one worked in its simplicity. There also appears to be an effect on the normal video that makes it slightly more khaki colored. This fits brilliantly with the general dreamy mood of the fan video.
Strongly recommend. It's almost a piece of art. ;)
Favorite moments: 0:28-0:57, 2:05-2:47
