YAY!!!! I love it!!! Thank you for taking my suggestion and running with it! The action and space battles really bring a grim reality to the 'life is beautiful' lyrics.
I'm happy to oblige, especially when our tastes correspond ;)

He-he. That's what I like to call cheating my way out of the refrain's reiteration. :D On a serious note though, I think it was really important to channel through the daily pressures and furious pace of pilots' lives to make a point and achieving it without extra battles footage (given the rhythm of the song) would be a crime.
Huh, "going into the end with no expectations" has become like a mantra for many of us.
Still, there's only one person who can make her shine and smile like she smiled in the memorial hall in the last epi. If they play the sacrificial for the fleet card, at least I'll have *that* moment to cling to. And plenty of time to shit on the 4th season overall :D
I think the funeral theme in the big Adama family as well as on this show has been prominent since the very beginning; if anything, the first time we watch Lee and Kara interact with each other on screen they discuss it like the show's starting point was actually two years prior to the events of miniseries. So I thought that working from that perspective and exploring the subject using the cycle of time as a guide that the show itself is kind of reinforcing seemed appropriate and challenging.
The lightening stuff was put together within the last few hours. I'm glad it worked because I was actually torn between leaving it there and risking to seem out of context for some viewers or deleting it and thus making the vid feel incomplete for me.
Also loved how the Zak/Kara/Lee scenes were mixed in together.This is probably my favorite sequence in this video, certainly the one I envisioned right after listening to the song for the first time when Jennifer suggested to use it

This works very well as the thematic undertone, IMO. The funeral clips combined with the space battles drive home the idea that death (and the end) can be right around the next corner. I hadn't thought about the cycle of time playing into it, but it really does.

Also loved how the Zak/Kara/Lee scenes were mixed in together. Nicely done.
Seriously...the whole thing just rocks. Awesome job. :D

Thank you. I had a nice day and my show didn't disappoint for the most part, which is also something I should treasure these days :D
