Oooh, I really liked that.

I loved the switching back and forth like at 1:11 - 1:25, and 2:36 'till the end.

And I love the matching of Sam being 'young James Dean'. Hehehe.

Great vid.

OMG!!! I am *so* excited for this. I can't wait to get home so I can watch it :)

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Hopefully you're not going to be disappointed. ;)

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thanks Steph - you are always first! lol

[martoufmarty.livejournal.com]

Hahaha.

That's because I check Livejournal obsessively while I sit here lol.

Well, I am not familiar with BSG, but I think that the clips fit to the mood of the song, thus creating a great feeling to the video. That I like.

I reviewed it at my journal XD

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Awesome. :D

Thanks for watching Zohar, I'm glad you was able to get something from it even with not knowing the show. Cheers!

I loved how every clip related/lead to the next. AND Sam as 'a young James Dean!' And his little head thing for 'raging in your blood stream.' best. vid. ever. I’m reccing it later when I am less tired, and probably have feedback in greater detail at that point.

brilliant.

favourite part was during 'when we grow up we're all going to be famous.'

lordy, i heart starbuck.

[hollywoodgrrl.livejournal.com]

Sweet! This was really fun as usual. I love all your vids. :)

Favorite part was already mentioned. It's making Sam be James Dean. I literally squeeped out loud. Hee!

Ecellent work! :D

Yay! I *loved* the opening, it was very cool in general and also nice to see some of the less common Starbuck clips. I loved that it was all about her, too, and not about her romantic life.

I must go to bed now, but I will rewatch more and if anything interesting strikes me I will let you know.

I'm not quite sure about the ending -- it felt like the vid ended three times, but rewatching might settle that in my head.

This is so awesome, I love it!

Holy crap, woman! Just... holy crap!

What absolutely fantastic editing. I watched the entire vid with my mouth hanging open. You have got audio syncing down and I am so jealous of your eye for pace and connection and how these images fit together. My favourite bit was the shitload of parallels around the 2:20s, and then the 2:30s hit, then the twangy bridge, and my brain just completely melted from the awesome.

[the-keeper-12.livejournal.com]

That was fantastic! Gotta luv the buck!

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Indeed! Thanks! *g*

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Nicky.

I'm really pleased with the parallels and the connections I think I managed to get the gist of it across in some fairly short clips.

It was a lot of fun to edit, nothing too fiddly or hideously angst ridden. The only real problem I have is that I'd got a ton of cool clips I couldn't squeeze in. I guess I'll just have to make another Starbuck centric vid.

Thanks for commenting. It's always a pleasure to see the word "awesome" heading my way.

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Sam was always going to be on the James Dean line but when I found that clip where he does that thing with his eyebrows that settled it. lol

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thanks for commenting.

That line was so important to me I'm glad you singled it out for a mention.

[charmax.livejournal.com]

best. vid. ever. is some compliment! And a rec would be fantastic too. *g*

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the feedback paravion. I did try to mix in some less used clips. I still couldn't stay away from the Starbuck wing waggle though!

About the ending(s) I kinda see what you mean but I like the final shot of her eyes. So I stand by it!

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Yeah, don't we all. lol

[messyjessie58.livejournal.com]
