EeeeeeeeeEeeeeeEeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Man, that was fantabulous! I loved the parallels especially and some of the clip-to-lyric choices were all kinds of inspired. And you keep the energy going all through and even made is build at the end and wow I'm stopping now before the flail overfloweth. Beautifully done.

Thank you LD! I'm glad you liked it. Going into the project I thought it would be a doddle but no! multi-fandom vidding is haaaard.

I just saw your rec too! Hee! It's a big compliment seeing as you don't do it that often.

Awesome, my dear, absolutely amazing. Not that I am the least surprised. :-) The blue border was very smart! And Bobby as the cute one who is usually gay made me laugh out loud. But most of all, just a wonderfully conceived and realized celebration of why we love them all.

Holy Cow, that's good. Nay, great even. Perfect song choice, genius structure and the way you've got visual tropes flowing between all the different sources is beautiful. And just when I think it can't get any better, it does, with a shiveringly good climax.

Brava!

Thanks Killa!

It's always great to get a compliment from you.

The blue border served to give it a comic book touch and more importantly disguised the fact that all the films were slightly different sizes! Definitely a case of making a virtue out of necessity.

Bobby is just soo gay. *g*

Thanks!

It was a fun vid to make in a masochistic, swearing at the screen sort of way. I don't think I've ever been so glad to finish a vid in my life. :D

Here via lithium_doll: That was awesome! Love the similar scenes in different movies, fab.

[martoufmarty.livejournal.com]

Oh, that was awesome! Love how you matched up similar scenes (costumes, running, train stopping, super swank dodging).

Too cool!

[thirdblindmouse.livejournal.com]

Thank you for making that; it was excellent! Just when I was in the mood for superheroes and multifandom vids too. :)

I watched this before work this morning and here is the best compliment I can give:

I've been thinking about how cool it was all day.

OMG WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE TEH AWESOME!!!!!! I LOVED it so much and have rewatched like ten times already. The parallels are just amazing and I'm in awe of how one fandom just flows effortlessly into the next with the use of amazing connections all through. Absolutely amazing.

This filled me with *so much joy.* I love, love, LOVE comic book movies, and this vid pinpoints all the reasons why. I am so incredibly impressed with the way you tied all of these different movies together! The way you used motion was especially awesome. (And the 'usually gay' line almost made me spit tea all over my keyboard.)

Man. SO AWESOME. :D

I hyperventilate even thinking about how much work this must have been.

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Yes - the ripping, clipping, resizing the different aspect ratios, the masking, premiere deciding to complain about every frame towards the end, just to name a few. It's all fun. :D

Some of it was a real pain but I think it's all worth it. I am getting some great feedback!

[przed.livejournal.com]

It is a fabulous vid. You deserve all the feedback you get.

Eventually, you'll forget about the pain and all that will be left is a very cool vid.

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Jessie, thank you! "god of gods"? Nah... wow (I'm a little embarrassed by that) heee but cheers! :D

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Ha! *grin*

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thank you and thanks again to lithium_doll!

[messyjessie58.livejournal.com]

haha seriously charmax, this ones in my top five for SURE. gina and i just watched it 3 more times through and then once frame by frame haha i think i might have to ramble about it in my own journal jsut to get it out of my system hehe

[caia-comica.livejournal.com]

This is so very much awesome. You put so many different stuff together and it *worked* and I get the sense that there's *depth* there that wasn't necessarily apparent my first time through but I'm telling you how awesome it is NOW because otherwise I will probably forget.

[deconcentrate.livejournal.com]

Oh, that was wonderful, all shiny and sparkly and leather-pantsed and super.

Bobby as "usually gay" = GENIUS.

[charmax.livejournal.com]

When watching the films you don't realize just how many similarities there are, I had so much great footage to choose from. Sadly I had to leave out some of the other themes I was wanting. But - there is only so much room! *ponders about the next multi-fandom*

Thanks Steph!

[charmax.livejournal.com]

I'm very pleased you enjoyed it, thanks for the feedback!

[charmax.livejournal.com]

You have given a fantabulous report/rec in your lj. You should see me grinning. :D
