WHOA!!!! That just totally rocked! I love Queen, but I would have never had the idea to do a vid like this to them. Awesome video, great editing, fabulous clips... Just wonderful! Thanks for posting. :D

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Heee thank you! Queen are excellent and this song in particular is really catchy, great for vidding and vidding the Master. Thanks again for commenting, I'm glad you enjoyed the vid.

[pie-is-good.livejournal.com]

That was fantastic.
Love the song, and the vid was very well done. Much better than anything I could do. :)

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Cheers.

Thank you so much for the feedback! :)

[fahrbotdrusilla]

That was so ridiculously fun! I will definitely be reccing this later!

[charmax.livejournal.com]

It was a nice change of pace to do a fun vid, glad you enjoyed watching it. A rec would be fantastic.

*hides eyes and downloads* Just to let you know I have the whole season on my computer but haven't started watching yet, and will save this until I'm done. Feedback in due course!

Also, sorry for not letting you know earlier - I currently have a download cap on my internet connection, which is why I haven't requested DVD details. Holding out for the mailing option. :)

[charmax.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you'll enjoy this season of Who.

As for the DVD I'm still figuring out the logistics of the snail mail option. Download limits are a thing of pure evil, I hope it's not permanent.

[martoufmarty.livejournal.com]

Like everyone else has said already - SO MUCH FUN!

Hahahaha.

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Cheers! I know you weren't keen on the finale so it means a lot that you enjoyed the vid.

[wendynever.livejournal.com]

So good- you just hit everything great about the way The Master was played in the show and rolled it into a three minutes of goodness.

Thanks for this- made my day.

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the comment which also makes my day. :D

[takethewords.livejournal.com]

OMG! I think that seriously has to be the best DW vid I've ever seen. That song is so perfect for the Master, and you edited it so well to fit with the lyrics.

*watches again* hehe

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Katrina. You make me blush with such glowing praise!

[frivolity65.livejournal.com]

:D = my face. That was FUN! really good fun. hehehehhehee!

oh and I'll admit to having an EQ moment withseeing the fingertips on the tabletop - LOL! hehehee

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Cheers, Friv. Those fingertips were very EQ weren't they? I guess we can add that to the list of sci-fi "homages" in the finale.

[thedothatgirl.livejournal.com]

Woot! what an absolute blast. Fantastic Charmax, just amazing fun vid. So glad you used Queen, it was just perfect.

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Andrea. "Woot!" is the best kind of feedback. :D

Feedback in caption form! how cool is that!? Cheers Mr A.

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

I've been avoiding DW for the entire third series despite everyone I know yelling at me to watch.

After watching this, I am downloading now.

That was beyond awesome. John Simm and Queen- fantastic.

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Can't beat the John Simm and Queen combo. :D Go watch the season!

[neadods.livejournal.com]

What a great song choice!

[charmax.livejournal.com]

What a great song choice!
Glad you thought so.

[talitha78.livejournal.com]

What a fun vid! I don't even watch DW, but I still found this utterly charming.

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much.

[larissa-j.livejournal.com]

Brilliant!

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Cheers!

[hollywoodgrrl.livejournal.com]

Awesomesauce!!! It's such a great song for him, too. Loved the bit about being a "sex machine ready to reload." *giggle* *drool* My favorite bit is at 2:37, when you matched the guitar to his laughter. Brilliant! ANd at 2:46, the matching "Now!" And I really REALLY love that shot of Lucy with the gun at 3:12. Her expression matches the music oh so perfectly. Great job!

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! You've picked out some of my fav spots there. Great feedback. :D

I need to get myself another icon...

[cathexys.livejournal.com]

This was brilliant! I loved the song for the Master and the vid was just utterly perfect.

thank you!!!!

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Wow. Brilliant?! *jaw drops* Thanks cathexys! Glad you think the song is a perfect choice because I do too. :D

Thank you.

[millylicious.livejournal.com]

Are you shitting me? A Doctor Who vid? On my birthday? Holy fuck, I love you!

Feedback when I can actually watch it because I'm too far behind.

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Ahhh it's a shame you can't watch it yet but YAY for your Birthday! Have a fantastic time with Sen and enjoy whatever you do over the next few days. :D

[calapine.livejournal.com]

WIN! SHEER WIN! I AM UNASHAMEDLY POSSIBLY WATCHING IT SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW NOW AND MAYBE DANCING.

Ahem. *collects dignity, departs*

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Haha. Now, that's a response I haven't had before, I like it!!

[bunnythenavia.livejournal.com]

Light, catchy and amusing. :)

[charmax.livejournal.com]

With this song it really couldn't have been any other way. ;)

[elisi]

Yay! Brilliant! The Master is totally the best, most fun villain since Angelus first showed up! :)

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Elisi. The Master certainly is entertaining to watch and so much fun to vid.

[sue-chose-this.livejournal.com]

Inspired choice - that song was so good for The Master, and you matched the mood perfectly throughout. Marvellous!

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much. The song has such a sense of fun. I can just picture The Master miming along to it. :D
