Okay, I'm coming out of hiatus to look at this. Seriously. OMG NEW VIDEO SO EXCITED.

[gigglemonster]

Haha I hope it's worth it dude!

PS. OMG I MISSSS YOUUUUU *HUGS*

[slybrunette]

And onto the review portion of this program.

WOW WOW WOW. WOW. Where do I even begin?

That was beautiful! Perfect song choice I need a reminder of what I'm doing/I need a reminder that i'm human, have more perfect lyrics ever been made for this type of video? I didn't fully realize that until I watched this. Ellie is the thing that tethers him to who he really is, who he was before all this spy business started, and what he's got to lose. This video conveyed that in a way I wasn't fully prepared for. Or maybe it just drove the point home

[gigglemonster]

Eeeee THANK YOUUU!

I'm so glad those particular lyrics stood out to you - they were the first that I noticed in the song and for exactly that reason. I'm so glad that came through so clearly.

It was hard to work their dad in. Harder than I thought. Both his presence and his absence are such an important part of both Ellie and Chuck so I wanted to at least include him a little bit. I'm really glad that he didn't feel awkward or forced in this.

I'm so completely ecstatic that you enjoyed this hon. That it touched you :) That's the best compliment I could get! ♥ &hearts

{Argh. Fucking homework. Good luck!)

Whoa, I totally want to start watching that show now. :)

[gigglemonster]

Haha why thank you! You totally should! It's a wonderful show. I highly recommend it :D

Excellent look at the Family Bartowski and just how close Chuck and Ellie are and all they've been through together. The clip of Sarah to the phrase "reflected light" is really powerful, pointing out that the closeness of the Bartowskis is something she's never had and didn't know she wanted until she saw it in Chuck and Ellie. And then the cuts back and forth to the happy family all together and Papa Bartowski dying in Chuck's arms... *whimper*

Beautiful vid. Aces, Charles Dayln. Aces.

(I was totally torn between Yay! Chuck vid! and Aw, man, Chuck is so not going to be eligible for Festivids this year. Heh.)

[gigglemonster]

Hahaha aww a dad quote! Thank you! ;)

I'm so glad that clip of Sarah in particular stood out to you. That's exactly what I wanted to convey with that. And the idea that even though she never had her own family the way Chuck does, she's still welcomed into theirs.

Thank you again for the lovely feedback. I'm SO glad you enjoyed this ♥!

Is there a certain number of vids that a fandom has to have to be eligible?

yeah, i'm editing to change my icon lol. don't judge me

eligible?

A fandom has to have fewer than 100 vids. I'm still going to nominate it, just in case...

yeah, i'm editing to change my icon lol. don't judge me

Beautiful illustration of Chuck & Ellie's relationship. I've never actively noticed the family unit, but you more than displayed the closeness and that it's actually there. Nice work!

[gigglemonster]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad this gave you a better appreciation for their little family unit :)

[secretlytodream]

wow wow wow! The song fits so so perfect! Oh Chuck! And Sis! And the whole family! So sad, but this vid turned out to be kind of hopeful. Great work hon )

[gigglemonster]

Thank you so much hon. I'm glad you thought the song worked and even more glad that the hopeful ending hit home :)
