That was really sweet! What a great theme to chose, and excellent music to go with it. Thanks for sharing, and your hard work really shows. This is beautiful.
Thank you! The theme and music choice were definitely a package deal - the music jumped at me and demanded to tell a story full of ancient toposes and archetypes, and who was I to say no?
I didn't totally hear this song in my head on the way home from work! :P
I also totally said everything I wanted to say about the vid when I recced it: The sweetest journey is the one which brings you back home, in a nutshell. I'm totally biased in that I got to beta it, but I have to say it's one top five favorite vids of all time, and that's saying a lot because I am pretty picky. It actually made me cry and I don't usually cry because of vids. It has absolutely something for EVERYONE, even if you aren't into vids and vidding. Just click on the link and watch the imeem or youtube stream (no downloading required!). I promise it will make you feel like the sun is in your heart.Additionally (and now this requires a side story): Stephen Stills always said that the one song he wished he had written was "Blackbird" by the Beatles
( ... )
but Stephen Stills didn't get to co-write Blackbird - and you had a hand in shaping The Return. Thanks for pushing me to make this vid the best I could make it!
And from now on I'm leaving the marketing to you, because your rec is brilliant and apparently works :)
