[violace]

Wow! This was so beautiful and epic, so rich and strange, it gave me chills and tears. Great song choice and editing!

[violace]

Wow, I'm amazed it could make people feel such emotion. Thank you!

[littleheaven]

WOW. I had no idea what was going on here, but I really didn't care. OMG the use of motion. This vid *danced* and I loved it.

[violace]

I love how you said that it danced. That is such a nice compliment. :D Thanks!

[frayadjacent]

Wow, this was just gorgeous. I loved your musicality, your use of motion and your timing. Fantastic vid, and now I am totally intrigued by this source.

[violace]

Thank you again, fray! <3

[laurashapiro]

That was absolutely glorious. Outstanding musicality, terrific build. I know almost nothing about the game but I was enthralled.

[violace]

So flattered! Thanks!

OMG THIS IS AMAZING. I love all of it to pieces, seriously, one of my top favorite vids of festivids. The timing of the intro clips, and how they all flow together was beautiful and smooth and so lovely. The transition into the chorus, "already flying", and the shift in energy was SO powerful, wow. The long clip that starts around 1:40 is just perfect, so driving. The transitions between clips that follow that are so perfect, man I have never noticed or cared this much about clip transitions, but these were beautiful in tone and visual. The section with the occasional clips of the story on the wall was so pensive and building, like working in slow pushes toward a goal, calm but not resting, always growing. The final minute was everything from before but MORE. This vid is perfect, I can just keep watching it on a loop, noticing more parallels and patterns each time.

You know how much I loved this comment!! ♥ I'm thrilled that you noticed so many details.

[jetpack_monkey]

Excuse me while I become an incoherent mess. That is one of the most gorgeous things I have ever seen. I can't even. I lost the ability to ever even ever again.

The motion! The musicality! The dark magic in your transitions! *flails at you*

[violace]

THIS MADE ME LAUGH SO MUCH and flail back at you in secret.

Also, dark magic, ahaha. I was anxious about the huge number of crossfades in the vid, but people seem to have liked the transitions especially, for some reason. :D Thanks!

[fan_eunice]

Omgosh this is STUNNING. Absolutely STUNNING. I'm kinda speechless.

[violace]

Omg, thanks!

[franzeska]

Unbelievable! I had no idea what the source was until I started watching. This just blows me away.

[violace]

Thank you sooo much for the kind comment and the rec in your journal!

[shati]

THIS IS SO PRETTY I want to eat it

*_____*

[violace]

Thank you for resisting the desire to eat it so other people could watch the vid! :D Thanks!

[thirdblindmouse]

Gorgeousss.

[violace]

Thank you!

[gnattery]

AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

VIDDER. YOU. AAHHHHHHHH!
*flails*
I love this game so, so, so much. I can tell from this vid that you do too. When I saw it in the vid list my heart started pounding. I've been wanting to vid this game ever since I first played it, but I've never felt like I could make anything that could possibly do it justice. You have absolutely succeeded in that. Whoever you are, you have my undying love. I really mean that.

[violace]

OMG this made me squee. I'm so glad my love for Journey was visible somehow in the vid. I was really anxious about doing it justice, so this is awesome to hear from someone who shares equal love for the game! ♥
