Wow. I've never seen a single episode of the show, but that was just beautiful.

*watching again*

Beyond the tech skills and motiony goodness (which abounds and is so obvious I feel like I'm pointing out that the sky is blue for even mentioning it), the clip selection here is brilliant. The mirror at :08, the blinds at :15, the old man at :18... it just goes on and on. The flashing police lights, the scamper down the steps, the wink, the crossfades on the pained expressions, the candles, the airplane, the gun... it's all so evocative, and all so expressive of the music.

Just so beautiful in so many ways. This is truly a wonderful video. I mean - just look at it!

Thanks so much. I'm pleased that you were able to read it so well even though you don't know the source. A number of shots are looking through things which makes it seem voyeuristic plus those sort of shots all add to the noir thing I was aiming for so it means a lot that you felt it worked well.
