Size: N/A
Notes: Rose/Doctor (9 and 10)
Overall impression: This is an absolutely gorgeous vid that should not be missed even if you aren't a Rose/Doctor shipper. I think it should play very well to even those not in the fandom.
Titles: The titles come at the end of the vid on a black screen in silence. Simple and to the point.
Music choice: Not necessarily a Billy Joel fan here, but it's hard to dislike his piano only and vocal pieces. A song about love and chances missed, it's a perfect fit for Doctor and Rose.
Narration, Tone and Movement: The narration is spot on going from all the times the various doctors were happy with Rose to the more bittersweet times when something holds the Doctor back. As can be expected the entire tone of the vid is completely loving, but with spots of wistfulness. The movement is fluid - there are occasions of talky face, but they melt into the background in the face of stunning visuals and constant movement onto the next part of their story.
Cuts, Transitions, Effects & Colouring/Coloring: Coloring goes from normal to black and white. Other than that, the effects are those of the show only except for a few fade to next images. Very simple and too the point, letting the love story take front and center stage. The cuts never really distract - many straight cuts, but a few more complicated.
Specific vid & music notes:
0-0:25 And introduction to Rose/Doctor when they're in happy times.
0:38 "to heal the wounds" A split screen overlay of disturbed 10 with a very happy Rose. Perfect.
0:46 "Until a new lover" - Martha! Nice visual.
2:54 "But you can make decisions too" as Rose disobeys Ten there at the end.
Final notes: I could go on and on about this vid. One of the most gorgeous vids I've seen in many fandoms and exceptionally smooth in all aspects. It was a pleasure to watch.
