This is great, and I really like your use of dialogue. I especially liked what you did in the flowers-the-only-spot-of-color section, and I liked your choice of clip for the end, plus that wonderful pause on the black that allows the vid and all the emotions it raises to really settle in the viewer. Great work!

I love your music vids so much, and this one doesn't make an exception, this is my #1 favorite! Thanks so much for creating them. You got to love the two of them.

Aw, thank you so much!!

You are so welcome

Sorry to bother you again, you probably going to think, I'm stupid, but I can't recall we two of the scenes you used come from, could help, please?

The one at 1 minutes and 12 seconds and the other is at 4 minutes 05 seconds, thanks.

They're both deleted scenes that can be found on the Series 4 Vol. 1 DVD (or YouTube ;-D).

Sooo K and I were talking the other day about how neither one of us were really in a place where we could watch this vid, but I'm glad now that I have. Jen, it is so, so good. It made me remember why I DID originally love them, and you're right, it's super cathartic (I can only imagine how it felt for you to make it!). As always, your choices of scenes and edits is perfect, and I appreciate that there was no lyrics to the music--I think that was absolutely the right choice, and kept the focus more tightly on the visuals and on the story you were telling.

Now of course, I'm gonna go cry forever, but at the same time, it's sort of a fitting, idk, goodbye? Like, this was a really satisfying vid to watch, and I can just pretend this is all we got and nothing else happened and go on with my life with the Pendragons in this vid, as they should have been, not the Pendragons that we have now.

Aw, Anj! I can't tell you how much this comment means to me (especially as you were taking a risk by watching this given how you felt about the Pendragons). I am so, so happy it was cathartic for you as well and that you were able to enjoy it. Yeah, the show ... really screwed them up. Beyond repair (thus my decision to replace reality with my AU). D= But ... we'll always have this? I was looking back at the episode discussion for 3x10, and gyahhhh, we were so happy and hopeful! And while it is really unfortunate that the show turned the Pendragons into this, at least we had those two years of relative perfection. And they really were some lovely two years. *sighs*

Thank you again!
