Can you tell I'm catching up on vids tonight? ;D Well, comments anyway. Hard to resist watching new vids from you immediately, even if I don't have time to squee. ;]
First off--I *love* how this starts with the amulet imagery. The opening of the song *sounds* crystalline to me, so that was just genius. And the visual parallels work so beautifully. But beyond the visual matches, the mood parallels and contrasts are just spot on. There is so much respect and care for the source in this. And as someone who has vidded Spike and watched a lot of Spike vids, you've managed, again, to make me feel like I'm seeing something new. It's introspective, but keeps such a nice edge with bitterness and hope constantly at odds.
And towards the end at 3:35--with the clouds. Gah, gorgeous.
