Oooooh. This is amazing. The song choice, the editing... it's just perfect. I loved the way you edited to the strumming, and the effects are just awesome.
It's a beautiful vid, simply told but with so much thought and complexity behind the (more or less) linear narrative. I think what I liked the most was that you didn't try to overtell canon narrative; you know your audience is likely to get what you're trying to say with just a few judiciously-placed clips. My favourite example of this is 2:20-2:23 - obviously a huge plot arc, but you hardly spent any time on it, knowing your audience will get it and feel it despite the short duration. That sort of knowledge, the trust in your viewer, has always been something that I've associated with great film directors, and it's no less valid here. You awe me with your constant progress and innovation.
