I told you how much I love this vid, right? ;)

*hugs again*

[charmax.livejournal.com]

You did and you made me happy. ;)

[littleheaven70.livejournal.com]

It didn't disappoint! You really captured the essence of the show. Loved it :o)

That is good to hear! Thanks littleheaven I'm glad you like it. :D

I still have to watch this show (Oh c’mon don’t give me that look!), but this was a absolute funride through the firefly universe and even without context I totally enjoyed it. All the small fun moments you worked so flawlessly in. The mix between action and comedy and just the images are gorgeous. You overcame your vidder block with bravado, so you’re back and better than ever, I assume! *wide smile*

Astarte you MUST WATCH! How come Xandra hasn't pushed you yet hmm? I thought that was part of her job.. ;)

It's really good of you to comment especially with you not knowing the show. Thanks babe.

"You overcame your vidder block with bravado, so you’re back and better than ever, I assume! *wide smile*"

We shall see! lol

[astartexx.livejournal.com]

Oh Xandra pretty much threaten me into submission on this one, but I didn't come around to do it - yet. But I have to repeat, your vid is a truly excellent tease for getting me there! *wicked grin*

Gives Astartexx that look and steps up beside Xandra (as if she needs backup, but she has it anyway) You must watch this show my dear. You must and then you must turn your art muse to it.

Now Charmax awesome video as always! Its under two minutes how did you restrain yourself? I am in shock! I hope your vidders block is now offically gone, and that you will offer up more gifts.

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thanks Nxy. Andrea asked for a vidlet so that is what she got.lol. It is highly likely any other vids I manage to make between now and the new year will also be shorts. I don't want to scare my muse away again.

What a nice gift :D It turned out awesome! I love firefly... I still havent quite pushed aimee enough to get her to watch it though. Maybe I will start her off with the movie when it comes out first ;) In any case - great job with the video. I'm glad to see you vidding again :)

Thanks for commenting Katie. You should definitely get Aimee to watch Firefly. I remember I was quite reluctant to watch it at first then I got the DVDs on a whim and fell in love with the show.

It remains to be seen if my vidding muse has returned or whether she just paid me a brief visit for Christmas!

Oh and yay for Katie & Aimee! I don't think I have said that yet.

Oh, DAMN!!! That was awesome! I love the song! You spliced and edited that baby with beautiful precision. Oh how I loved it. Fan-freakin-tastic! You have made me want to go find some Firefly somewhere. Wow, can I say awesome enough?

[charmax.livejournal.com]

So many compliments thank you! It was fun to make so I'm glad you enjoyed watching it. :)

Very good video! as Little Heaven said, you really captured the essence of 'Firefly'

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Ben. After watching Serenity and rewatching the eps I have rediscovered my love of Firefly.

[nyxus.livejournal.com]

As I said above I love this firefly vid. But I was wondering didn't you make another firefly vid? I can't find it in my collection and I didn't see it on your site.

[charmax.livejournal.com]

I did have another Firefly vid but I took it down a while ago because some of the editing was really bugging me. I still love the song and the concept and now I've got the clips back on my comp so there is no excuse for not reediting it. It is one of my new years resolutions to reedit this vid and to make at least one new BtVS or Angel vid this year.

[sassykittenjess.livejournal.com]

Very cool vid Charmax. I really dislike U2...but this song fit for a short fun vid. The editing was great as usual, and the song was spliced seamlessly. It seems like everyone is getting back in to the swing of vidding...I really hope I can too. I just can’t seem to find any songs that I could work with to vid…well that and I haven’t had much motivation to get started lol

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thanks Sassy K. I Still don't feel up to a full length vid yet but this was quite fun to make so hopefully I will find the motivation to start on one of my ideas in the new year. I hope you find something to work with soon.

[colour-me-sassy.livejournal.com]

I love it hon, you always manage to pack so much in to vidlets! Really gives a large impression of the show from a short amount of vid. Great to see you back in the game, I know you've been vidding all the time but it's great to see some of what you been up too :D

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thanks hun. :D

Hopefully now I'll be able to finish some of those other projects I had going!

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

That was *awesome*. Only one ep? So didn't feel like that.

The quality of the rm version was fabulous, but the movement in it was absolutely fantastic. You captured their action-packed quirkyness perfectly. I *loved* it. :D

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thanks bunny. :D

I was really trying to focus on the motion in this one. I'm glad the extra effort showed. I sometimes struggle with editing faster songs so I am quietly pleased with this vid.

[faith-girl222.livejournal.com]

the fast pace really made this vid for me. the timing was very well executed. i really loved it.

[charmax.livejournal.com]

I'm very glad to hear you love the vid. This is one of my least viewed/commented vids so the feedback is great!

[marvelgirl-art.livejournal.com]

oh, and this clip is just pure visual delight :) it’s so light and at the same time energetic. I'm watching it and it’s reawaking my love for the series, makes me want to watch it again. and I think I’ll do just that as soon as possible))

[charmax.livejournal.com]

I'm always happy when my vids make people want to watch or rewatch a show, it's such a huge compliment. Thank you.
