Hmmm. I finally have time to sit down and leave feedback - I'm sorry it's so late. I get obsessive when I'm vidding, and everything else tends to fall by the wayside until I'm done.
I think if I had to try and sum this vid up in a single word, it'd be complex. Entirely fitting, given the nature of the relationship between Laura and Lee; vids like this are a good reason for you to continue your flirtation with Poets of the Fall

No sweat :) Vidding is primary, right? ;)

You think so? I don’t know... After this vid I have a strong urge to make myself stop pondering on creating another video to their composition.
I don't know if you were deliberately making the comparison, but it's there when the quorum returns later, with Lee standing in the middle of them.
Yes, this connection and comparison is deliberate, as well as pretty much everything else in this vid.
I found it interesting that of all the symbols you could pick to use as a symbol of belief, you went for the Arrow of Apollo (with some gorgeous key effects used to overlay the Arrow and Kara and Laura's hands at about the 1:10 mark). It made an interesting contrast between the shots that followed it immediately of Lee leading the Pegasus into battle, I think I did it because I find it interesting that

…and then the price of dishonesty - the flicker of Gina firing, Lee's choice in the assassination conspiracy, and then hard cuts into the trial, and the looks between Laura and Lee, with Baltar in the middle.
I’m very glad if it worked! It’s one of the sequences in the video that I like the most because of the Cain/Baltar assassination/capital punishment comparison and Roslin’s rational (or rather personal and irrational) judgment in both cases with Lee’s internal reactions and actions in the middle, that highlight two characters’ differences.
...while it's easy to criticise the actions of those in charge, it's much harder to take on those decisions and the consequences that follow with them.
Yes, I'm happy that this imagery came across the way I wanted it too. :)
Of course, if I had to describe this vid in two words, rather than one... they would be deliciously complex.I think one of the reasons why this video didn't get as much feedback as even the first one I made a few years ago may be its complexity, and I don't mean

Awesome vid!squirrely4uJanuary 27 2009, 20:15:27 UTC
Thanks for putting this out there. I thought I was going crazy cuz not many peeps get their whole ship. I see that Laura is a very important part of Lee's life. And likewise he is important to her...in a way that no one else is. She has helped mold him into the man he is today. And in turn he has helped her to be honest with herself and in her decisions. They were there for each other in a time when there was no one else...and that makes their journey special. He was there to be the first person *outside of her administration* that she told of her breast cancer....and she was there for him when he was just coming on the G and not sure of his footing with Adama. I adore them....and Mary and Jamie are just amazing in scenes together!! :) Thanks again for the awesomeness!!

Thanks a lot for your lovely feedback Susan.
And I almost thought I was going crazy making this vid for myself and just a few people who are seeing things that aren't actually there ;)

Yes, I love how they instinctively trusted each other in the miniseries and early S1... Lee's response to Doral: "Well, I think lady's in charge here" is still one of my favorite phrases in BSG of all time :)
