Eeeeee! Another Pushing Daisies vid, how awesome! I love it, it's so cute, and all the hand-holding (or, er, hand-holding via proxy) and they dance on the roof!

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Ned and Chuck are about as cute as it's possible to get, I love that holding hands is such a big deal for them.

[bunnythenavia.livejournal.com]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARMAX!!!
I'll come back later with feedback.

Wow, Pushing Daisies is a wonderful source to edit. This vid and the previous one scream happy life. It gives me a nostalgic feeling. I like it.

This is wonderful. I used this song for a Ned/Chuck mix only a little while ago - it's perfect for them.

Ah, and happy birthday! Wow, a leap year birthday; that's so cool.

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I'll have to check that mix out. The song could have been written for Ned/Chuck it's so right for them.

I love when it's a leap year and I get to have a real birthday!

First off, Happy Birthday to sweet you :)

and then, YAY for another PD vid !!! and after watching it, this was the sweetest thing. ^^
I love the song choice again. you really picked that out well for the show and the characters. and it was full of candy and sweet moments and you narrated it very well.
Thank you for making this ! I'm all mushy inside now :)

[charmax.livejournal.com]

You just made my birthday even happier with your lovely words! I'm glad you think it was well narrated because I find shippy vids a bit awkward in that respect but the song was so perfect I couldn't resist.

[messyjessie58.livejournal.com]

that was so ADORABLE!!
the way you subtly splice together scenes to get the most information in the least amount of time (like in the pocket watch bit) is just astounding :)

and HAPPY BIRTHDAY! many wishes for a wonderful year :D

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Jessie, for the birthday wishes and the lovely feedback.

[giandujakiss.livejournal.com]

Ooh, so warm and fuzzy, thank you! And another fantastic song choice, both in the sound and the theme!

(and, happy birthday!)

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Definitely warm and fuzzy. I think PD is quite hard to find appropriate songs for and I definitely got lucky with this one when I happened to listen to the "Dan in Real Life" soundtrack.

(and thank you!)

[maleria-withav.livejournal.com]

ok - like cutest thing in the entire world. haha, um, i think you should know, i'm from the PD LJ community, and that's how i found ur fanvid - i'm not some crazy stalker or nuttin'

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thanks, and I don't think you're a crazy stalker. Glad you liked the vid.

[northofantastic.livejournal.com]

OH EM GEE! I LOVE this video! I've liked the song since hearing it on the Dan In Real Life ost, but I never thought to put it to Ned/Chuck. Genius! Your transitions were wonderful and like messyjessie58 said, you conveyed a lot of information in a short span of time. Bravo!

Ned says, Happy Birthday!

I'll always be grateful to that soundtrack for this song but also for introducing me to the music of Sondre Lerche.

I'm so happy that you enjoyed the vid.

[deejay.livejournal.com]

Hippy Bird Dye 2 Ewe, Leap Year Baby! =D

*squees for new 'PD' vid*

*still looking for a usable version of "Corpsicle" for mine, alas!*

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thanks, for the birthday message and the vid squee.

I think I probably have the same copy of "Corpsicle" as you but I did re-encode it so maybe it'll work for you now. If you want I'll start uploading it now and send you the link when it's done.

[darkhecatemoon.livejournal.com]

Oh, I miss this show so much!! That was fantastic. You have mad editing skills. :D

[charmax.livejournal.com]

I do miss my colourful show. I hope the video helps tide you over until next season.

[talitha78.livejournal.com]

This vid is absolutely adorable. I don't know anything about the show, but you make this pairing look totally squee-worthy.

Oh, and Happy Birthday, by the way. :)

[charmax.livejournal.com]

This pairing are the most squee-worthy couple I've seen on TV in ages. I hope the vid does their cuteness justice.

Thanks for the feedback and the birthday greets.

[anoel.livejournal.com]

Happy Birthday!

This is just the cutest most romantic vid. Ned and Chuck charm me incredibly much and you picked some of the best moments. I love the motion and parallels and how deftly you edited this. This vid makes me so happy!

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Cheers!

I am so in love with Ned and Chuck. I find them sweet and yet not syrupy, I hope the vid conveys that.

[countessmary.livejournal.com]

That was just wonderful! Happy and just cute as all get out but also, really nice transitions between clips, man! Wonderful.... loooooveeeddd it!

[charmax.livejournal.com]

You loved it, I'm so happy. Since watching this show transitions have become a new plaything. *g*

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

*Awwwwwwwwww.* :D This is as sweet and adorable as they are, hee. Plus just as zippy and cleverly edited as the show--very cool. :}

And happy birthday! It's still the 29th here! ;D

[charmax.livejournal.com]

You are too kind and make me so happy with your comments.

They are the epitome of cute and there's something rather uplifting about vidding cheerful source whilst watching the beginnings of Spring through my window.

And thanks to freaky time differences I get to hold onto my birthday a little longer, doesn't get better than that. :D

[halfway2home.livejournal.com]

Very charming. I liked the editing. It made it pop and kept it flowing nicely.

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much, so glad you liked it.

[legoline.livejournal.com]

I hven't watched yet but HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY! ♥ :D

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Hope you enjoy the vid. :D

What a lovely reverse-birthday-present! Thank you! And I hope you had a wonderful day, since you only get 1/4 as many birthdays as the rest of us.

I wasn't familiar with this song, but it had a breezy tempo and retro vibe that fit very nicely with the romantic longing and ironic technicolor of the show.

Your editing was lovely, providing flowing images that seemed to almost "dance" to the music (even literally so, with the wonderful beekeeper-suits scene).

I had only managed to watch the first few eps of the show before schedule changes, RL and the writers' strike intervened, but I look forward to catching up with the rest of the eps on DVD.

[charmax.livejournal.com]

I like the idea of reverse birthday presents. I did have a nice day only four years til the next real one. Luckily I get to be greedy and have two most years, like the Queen *g*

The song really is a perfect fit for the show, it has just the right tone and lyrically is perfect.

Thank you so much and I hope you're able to catch up with the show at some point.

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

Eeee!! I love this song and have always wanted to vid it but never found the right subject matter. Chuck/Ned suits perfectly! What a lovely marriage of one of my favourite tracks and one of my favourite ships! :) SO charming! And you're so clever at matching images for transitions--it feels like falling down the rabbit hole with Alice!

[charmax.livejournal.com]

I only stumbled on the song fairly recently and it just seemed so right for this ship. I sometimes find it hard to watch vids to my favourite tracks so I'm pleased that didn't happen here.

I don't fall for canon ships that often but Ned/Chuck are just so utterly adorable I defy anyone to resist them.

Oh and thanks for the rec!

Another beautiful vid hon, visually stunning. It makes a great show look even better than it is. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it :) and shall go watch it again now :) Sassy xx

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hun. It's such a wonderful show to vid with glorious colours that just *pop* it's such a rarity with shows these days. It makes vidding that much more pleasurable. So much happy. *Thrilled* you enjoyed it.

[vonnie-k.livejournal.com]

Oh my God. That's the adorablest thing EVER. And you used "Modern Nature"! I flove that song. What a fabulous fit it is for the show.

Your transitions are spectacular -- the bits where faces of Ned and Chuck segue to their younger counterpart's, and the ones using objects like fruits and pocket-watch, are just seamlessly done but the zooming gives the whole thing an extra visual oomph. And just as the sweetness got to be a bit too much, you mixed in some clips with Emerson rolling his eyes, which balanced out the sweet with the tart. Just delightful.

[charmax.livejournal.com]

"Modern Nature" is one of the most adorable songs I've ever heard how could it not work for the sweetest couple on tv?! *g*

Most of the work in this one went into the transitions and I think it was worth it. The Emerson section is probably my personal favourite that man has the best facial expressions and it did go some way towards stopping the vid becoming too sickly sweet.

So glad you enjoyed the vid.

[obsessive24.livejournal.com]

Shit, I meant to comment when it was actually your birthday, but I screwed up and now it's too late for birthday wishes and nice feedback, but you get both anyway now that I remember. Deal with it. :P

This is SUCH a shiny, happy, fun vid. It's Chuck and Ned and it puts a huge smile on my face. Your editing is FANTASTIC as always, but as always it doesn't stand in the way of your subject matter, only enhances it. Fun, lovely, wonderful birthday vid. Yay!

[obsessive24.livejournal.com]

Oh, PS, the parallels between young and old Ned/Chuck? AWESOME.

[bunnythenavia.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thanks to your vids, I started watching Pushing Daisies. Well, I only watched the first episode, but rest assured, I will watch the rest. It's such a cute series, full of life (which is funny, considering what Ned can do ;)).

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Haha another convert to PD. It is a really cute, funny show, glad you're on board.

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

Aw, that made me miss Pushing Daisies. We have to wait till fall? Really?

[charmax.livejournal.com]

I know it's depressing, isn't it? Still at least it should be a full season then.

[mirageofmae.livejournal.com]

Rec'd from vonnie_k ! Awesome vid!

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thanks very much! And thanks to vonnie_k for the rec.

[rose-griffes.livejournal.com]

Here via vonnie_k. I love this! *squishes it and pinches its cheeks*

Awww it's like an Aunty has come to visit. :D Thank you!
