Oh, awesome! I really enjoyed this. You built the narrative perfectly, so that the "one war" lyrics hit hard and made a big emotional impact.

[giandujakiss]

Thank you!! I'm really glad the narrative came across; it was such a challenge to do it without much guidance from lyrics!

I liked this take on the transgenics. The vid had a kind of pathos, I guess, (I mean that scene with the flag and their uprising from struggle and such) that fit DA well.

[giandujakiss]

Thank you! The focus on the transgenics was yourlibrarian's idea; I'm glad you think that the vid suited the show!

Freaking awesome vid. I really miss this show.

[giandujakiss]

Thanks babe! I miss it too - it was a flawed show but it had a lot of really good qualities.

Wow, now I want to go watch DA all over again. What a haunting, powerful video.

[giandujakiss]

Thank you! I'm so glad you found it effective! And rewatching DA is definitely a worthy endeavour :-).

Oh, this is STUNNING. You complete captured what Dark Angel was supposed to be about and what it was at its best. Fabulous pacing and build-up. I loved how soft and almost gentle it was, not trying to force the meaning, just letting the viewer experience it. Great job!

Thank you so much! I'm so happy you liked it; I was experimenting with various techniques here that I hadn't tried much before, and I'm really glad it all came together for you!
