eeeeeeee! I love this! You captured the fairytale-like quality that becoming the Doctor's companion has.

Yay! One thing I particularly love about this season is how much those fairytale qualities have been played up...was hoping to make that a focus of the vid and am glad you thought it was in there :-) Thanks for the comment!

Hallooooooo and thank you!! *squeezes* It's so fun to ride the wave of new show love (in this case, not a new show per se, but you know what I mean) and I was glad to be able to express it in vid form. The kind remarks about the editing are much appreciated -- lucky that I even remember how to open Premiere at this point ;-)

Thanks much! Great to make a new vid :-) Seems to have been temporarily relegated to an annual event, but so it goes.

Eeeeeee!!!!!!! Well that was lovely and wonderfully glorious for our Amy! :D And the song has a tinge of OMINOUS about it which suits the joy and joyness very nicely. I love it!

Thanks for watching! I love these kids so :-) I agree, there's something vaguely creepy about the song (the whole movie, really, which is something I love about it) and while the vid is primarily about awe and wonder and squee, with Doctor Who you always know that shit is gonna get real at some point and the dark side of the fairytale is in there somewhere.

This is inspired! The music is perfect. A hint of wonder, a hint of ominous, just right for a fairytale-esque series.

I'm not usually into the music vids (though I view ones that sound interested) so if I comment on one that must mean I liked it. And who couldn't love Gene Wilder singing that song...

I'm glad you enjoyed and appreciate you taking the time to let me know :-) And yes, Gene Wilder is great...I'm showing my age when I say that I just couldn't get into the Willy Wonka remake...the original is too special to me.

I LOVE IT!!! Makes me want to catch up to this Doctor all the more.

The song is perfect for The Doctor--what others have said about the wonder of the words, but the more serious/ominous undertones in the music.

I have missed your vids!

Thank you! I can't wait until you catch up, too -- Wheel Deliver and marathoning and hairballs on my carpet await you :-) I have missed vidding...glad I got one done in 2010, at least.

Back.

Well that was just..so....damn incredibly awesome.
Now Eleven and his...Pond...have been vidded by you and that makes the world a little more right, if you ask me!!! Oh MY....I can't even begin to describe the beauty leaking out all over us from this vid. As others have already said, the music is beyond perfect....because we're flying on that glorious sense of wonder, but the ominous bits are indeed floating underneath us. Every frame you vid is always a gem..I love 'count to three' with your Amelia turning into Amy..sighh! Amelia's flashlight shining right on 'ping'...to name just two precious bits I love. Oh my gracious, the vid is full of wondrous Chasa touches filling up my heart....I gaze at your vids like like Amy gazes at the TARDIS....my eyes FILLED with amazement. Your love of Eleven and Amy Pond is twinkling soooooooooooooooo beautifully.

Let's chat...oh...so sooon! *HUGS*

Oh, this is fabulous! I just saw the first episode of Eleven yesterday and I am totally charmed by it, and by this Doctor, and by DW in general, and this vid captures that feeling of charm for me. I love the whimsy of it. This track is perfect for this Doctor, and oh, the visuals are just glorious -- I love the way you use the TARDIS, and the Doctor's expressions, and beautiful Amy.

Ah, that's such a sweet thing to say and it makes me very happy because it's from very similar emotions on my end that the vid originated! I was optimistic about this season, but it kind of swept me off my feet in a way that I wasn't expecting -- which is what I hoped to convey in the vid (conveniently, Amy's wonder is a great vehicle for showing that). Really glad you enjoyed and I so appreciate your kind comment and the rec -- it means a great deal.

Fabulous. What a great choice of music. I loved how you compared Amy and Amelia and the Doctor and their sense of wonder.

	Re: here from a rec by kass

Thanks so very much! I'm excited that you saw the Doctor's sense of wonder in there, along with Amy's -- he's ancient but retains a childlike appreciation for his life, which I think his companions continually help him rediscover.

Thank you! It was a happy accident to run across the song (I know it well, but am not sure I would have thought of it if it hadn't been featured in a recent commercial) while obsessing over Eleven and Amy :-)

Oh, how beautiful! I looooooove "Pure Imagination" and I never realized how perfect it fit Doctor Who until I saw this. Matching "if you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it" to Amy's flight outside the TARDIS was just breathtaking. I absolutely loved this.

What lovely comments -- thank you so much for letting me know how you felt about it!

Matching "if you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it" to Amy's flight outside the TARDIS was just breathtaking.

That was the very first visual in my head for this vid and I'm so pleased you enjoyed it! I'm also so pleased that they included a version of that scene in the season overview promo -- a version with no bloody credits playing over it as there are the in episode itself :-)
