Awesome. I have no knowledge of vidding, so I can't make intelligent comments, lol, but I loved the choice of song and the pacing.

Thank you so much hon! I have to give credit to KC for the song, it was a rather perfect match. I'm glad it worked for ya. I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you again for taking the time to watch and leave such lovely feedback :)

I've been WAITING for this. Like, to no end.

HOLY FRAKKING AMAZINGNESS.

This song works so well for them, and I love how this focuses a lot on the final five connection/destiny. It makes plenty of sense and yet I wasn't expecting it to work quite this well but it so did, especially going chronologically. And the way you cut to all those clips when his hand is on the wall on Earth -- that was some excellent flashback action. The clips and how they fit the beat? Perfect. The manips? Fabulous. And may I just say that I felt like I was watching this at the movies -- the clarity, the seamlessness -- it's all stunning.

Gosh, I'm just about incoherent. I LOVE this vid so, so, SO much.

Yaayyy! Aww thank you SO much dude *beams* I'm positively thrilled that you liked this so much! Phew :D

When KC first showed me the song I was just shocked by how perfectly the lyrics fit with the show. I'm so glad that it did work for you this way.

I think I knew from the beginning that flashbacks were the way I was going to set up their relationship. Regardless of Sam saying that Tory & Galen were the ones who were together on the first earth, (pstcch whaaat? lol) I love all the possibilities that that previous life opened up. Sam and Galen SO could have been together. So I kinda used that as a catalyst to hook 'em up. And I'm so glad you enjoyed that bit.

And yay to the clarity. I went out and bought s4 the other day so that I could use spiffy dvd rips instead of tv ones lol Good to know that paid off!

Thank you again, SO so much for watching and for the lovely feedback :D *muah!*

OMG! Flaily hands! YAAAAYYY! I squealed at the end of the video. Sam and Tyrol. hehe They was kissing.... *squees happily* You make some damn good videos. :D

Aww yay thank you SO very much hon! I'm thrilled that, judging by your reaction, the manips seem to have worked ;) I'm so very glad you enjoyed this, thank you again <33

Cool!! I never thought much about these two as a slash pairing, but you made it happen. :) I really liked your effects but also great use of existing clips between the two of them. And the use of space battle and supernova footage looked beautiful!

gigglemonster January 21 2010, 21:06:02 UTC

Thank you so much! I'm very glad to have opened your eyes to this pairing ;)
Going into this project I thought that there would be more footage of the two of them (especially when you factor in the resistance on New Caprica) but there surprisingly wasn't. So that's definitely a relief to know I made what I had work!
I feel like all the times I've vidded BSG in the past I've never taken full advantage of all the beautiful space-y footage they have so I went all out with it in this vid hee.

Thank you again for watching and for the lovely feedback :)

Oh wow, this is gorgeous! I've got shivers all down my back. Firstly, Anders/Chief! \o/ Second, I adore, ADORE the way you put this all together. Muse is meant for epic visuals and it really didn't disappoint. Your sense of musicality just keeps getting better and you carry off gorgeous AUs effortlessly. Amazing work.

gigglemonster January 21 2010, 21:11:18 UTC

Aw gosh thank you SO much! Yay, it's always nice to see other fans of this pairing and I'm really glad the AU-ness of it worked for you! (I was always slightly perplexed by the seeming lack of slash fans in this fandom)

As much as I loved the song, I was a little bit nervous to use it because it sounds so epic lol. I was scared that the song itself would overshadow whatever I put with it, so I'm incredibly relieved to know that I did it justice :)

And whee for musicality! That's something that always seems to come so naturally to other vidders so that's very encouraging to hear.

Thank you again for watching and for leaving such lovely feedback!
