Can I just say it's PERFECT here so it's on record in your LJ?

You can say it's perfect (which it isn't) if I can say you're crazy ;)

Clamshellers?!?! 0_o That sounds . . . dirty.

Why am I not surprised? ;Þ

*ruffles O's hair* You silly! Sometimes a clamshell is just a clamshell, darlin' :)

Came here via farscape_weekly, and wow, you've got some amazing vids. I'm sure you've mentioned it somewhere, but my brain is a little fried right now- what program are you using? There are some pretty awesome cuts/blends/fun fx things you do with your videos and I was really surprised, as most of the videos I used to watch were standard cut/fade fare. Also, excellent music- I'm really not familiar with it but I like it and it's very original as opposed to the 20,000+ Lifehouse "Hanging by a Moment" vids there are across multiple fandoms.

You even got me to really love the Aeryn-as-damsel-in-distress episode despite my usual distaste for it. It wasn't a bad episode- in fact, it was a very good one- but I really don't like watching the character in that sort of state because it does seem so desperate and well- whatever. We love to put the characters through the wringer and so do the writers, so all I can say is excellent job of it- you made an amazing vid (and I really like your others too!)

First, thank you so much for your comments -- getting feedback at all is rare enough (any vidder can tell ya the download-to-feedback ratio is a bit disheartening ;)), but getting detailed feedback is an incredible treat!

I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro. Since I'm part of a Farscape vidding community and watch a lot of vids in addition to occasionally making some, I feel like I've seen all of the richest footage about a billion and two times. So I do try to find ways to make the clips fresh and to tailor them specifically to the music (I was a dancer for a number of years, so choreography is always kicking around in my head). I try not to succumb to the effects-for-the-sake-of-shiny vibe *too* often...they need to serve the story in order to really work. I also should start learning Adobe After Effects so that I can explore more creative usage options.

Thanks again -- creative types really are rather needy and I am no exception :)

chasa, baby, that was amaaaaazing. I watched it twice in a row 'cause I *had* to. You sent chills up my spine and how the *frak* did you do that shot with a John close-up in the foreground and John contemplating infinity in the background? That was simply incredible.

Wow.

I am sooooo using this video to scape some friends who are into romance and angst.

I am *so* excited to hear that you liked it -- puts a big smile on my face! The John/BHTB shot is a pain in the ass mask that I tinkered with for a really long time in order to try to get a seamless look. I got what I wanted in the end and am happy with it...but my level of picky when it comes to masking explains why I don't do a lot of that...*hee*
