Wow, this is an incredibly powerful and chilling narrative. So much that I'm still sitting here with no idea what to say.
It's amazingly edited, with all the parallels of how she connects to people and all the reaching, broken hands. That little girl raising her arms in victory just rip something out of me because I can see Kara right then. I don't feel like I'm watching external source at all.
Thank you so much! Little Kara's story leaves me speechless too.

She's so openly ecstatic right at that moment, and fearless, isn't she? It's beautiful... and terrifying because we also know how vulnerable that kid is.

I think it's the best praise this vid could get: I was so restless and worried about the way it would be perceived by the viewers, like never before. I'm relieved that I managed to make external footage feel like it belongs. Thank you!
Very powerfully done. :} I loved how you integrated all of that additional source--it fleshed out such a chilling view on her childhood. And the song has a creepy nostalgic undertone to it that worked perfectly.
Thank you! Another pilots' fan recced the song, and I thought what a great choice it would be to make a kid_Kara vid showing her childhood's version of hell. *shudders* I'm still trying to process that I finished it.
I'm glad the outer source footage feels fitting.
Love I'm Not Dead by the way! She deserved so much better in S4.
Hi Jarrow! Thank you so much for watching and reccing the vid! I felt very uncertain about external footage here as it was the first time I attempted to merge it with BSG stuff, so it's reassuring to know that it worked in terms of editing and emotional narrative.
I keep telling myself that when I'm strong enough I'll leave detailed feedback on Tandemonium, but I keep faltering somehow. Bop sent me a link right after she watched it because... I guess because she felt like sharing, also because we both have similar issues with S4 - and I ended up watching the vid over and over again, getting shaky and overly emotional. It's the best vid out there that addresses what pile of crap they turned my favorite show into I think. So simple bravo! wouldn't be enough. Thank you for making it, sharing with others. Very brave of you to present it at VVC too!
Thank you for watching! And commenting) It was hard to complete, but it sort of needed to be, you know? Kara sure as hell deserved the truth to be acknowledged.
I watched I Am The Lion recently btw (Bop_radar recced it, I'm lucky to have her pointing me in the direction of great stuff). I need to go comment on it. But briefly, I thought it was a wonderful piece of vidding: very difficult to watch because of my personal issues with Adama's character, him getting validated as a huge frakking hero despite his never ending autocracy and egotism, but so cathartic at the same time! Thank you for making it! I'm one of those people who need to work through her painful emotions about the way the show ended and what it did to our favorite characters; and vids such as I Am The Lion or Tandemonium by Jarrow may be very helpful.
First off, Happy Birthday! I hope you have a lot of fun and manage to spend it with your favorite people).
Thanks a lot for your feedback. I'm glad you noticed different visual metaphors. Hands' imagery is crucial in the vid, as it serves to channel the notion of damage guidance and also the craving for being connected to something larger than one can be, a treacherous urge to feel protected; I tried to address Kara's inner confusion and conflict, how she keeps contradicting herself in what she wants and needs to have. And yes, objects like different kind of weapons and glass... mirrors - have their own message in this.
Thank you for letting me know that external footage seems to work in the overall tone and narrative!
