My giiiiiiirls. Oh my gosh so this is such a gorgeous vid. The song choice is fantastic - I love the metaphor of turning to stone, the prospect of having to go back to being an ordinary woman hanging overhead; I love the whole "if you wait for someone else's hand - you'll fall" sequence so much and the entirety of the last quarter is perfect and. JUST. I'm pretty sure this is everything I've wanted in a Bletchley Circle vid?

Basically, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

This made me cry. Oh, these women. These brilliant, marvellous women, and you've captured them so well, their struggle against everything wanting to hold them in place in a place where they'll never fit, and yes. So lovely. <3

This is perfect for them and so true to what was awesome about this show! Loved what you did with the swelling of the music and the balance between Susan and the others.

Oh wow, this is just stunning - love the concept, perfectly executed. Loved the build to the climax, and the shifts in pacing and tone while still keeping the same theme running throughout. Fab job.

Omgomgomgomg vidder. OH MY GOD. Okay, so I'd never even heard of this show, and so I kinda looked it up before watching the vid and was like 'This sounds like something I need in my life' and then I watched your vid and now I am just a total mess and I NEED THIS SHOW IN MY LIFE. I'm not sure if you intended to recruit anyone, but if you did? Mission accomplished. The vid is just gorgeous and made me have all kinds of feelings and now I want more contextual feelings so I can come back and have them some more to this vid. Thank you. Just. Thank you. <3 <3 <3

Oh I love this. What an excellent song choice. I loved the repeated imagery of the maps, machinery, text, etc., figuring out the patterns, and especially the motif of the lipstick drawing a route. <3 I really need to watch this show!

I've been curious about this source, and your lovely vid really brings it to life. I love how you used the sequence with making up/dressing and testing the gun.

Oh, this is fantastic. Your song choice is completely perfect, the 'turning to stone' is just brilliant for their struggles, and your build to the climax, and just. This is a completely perfect mix of source and song and your editing married them beautifully.

And now I want to watcht the show again.

I still haven't seen the mini series (damn) and have so much catching up to do but dear me I LOVE the song you used, the editing and making me actually want to watch the mini series. Also thank you for not spoiling the viewer. A lot of vids basically tell the whole story.

This is gorgeous! I haven't watched the series yet -- though I will, believe me; it's very high on my to-watch list -- but I watched this anyway, and it's gorgeous and moving. Nicely done!
