Ohh, I just don't know what to say because I am seriously an incoherent flaily weepy MESS right now. It's like you reached into my brain and pulled out my perfect CTM vid! Beautiful editing and fabulous use of the song - I love how you used not only the religious imagery but the community at Nonnatus House (and beyond) and the work the nuns do to show Shelagh's confusion and the different directions she's being pulled in. And the ending is just so, so perfect I teared up.

And you worked in all those beautiful scenes of Anglican chant! I love you so much right now mystery vidder, THANK YOU.

I may have to come back later and leave a more coherent comment once I've watched it a few more times. :D

What a lovely portrayal of Shelagh's journey.

[violace]

Never even heard of this fandom but this was a very intriguing combination of music and visuals, and I really enjoyed your editing!

[valoise]

For some reason I've never watched this show and I had no idea that I would be so moved by this vid.

[delphi]

Oh, beautifully done.

[semielliptical]

What a lovely look at Shelagh's struggle and her resolution, and also the multitudes within her communities. Wonderful!

[yasaman]

What a gorgeous look at Shelagh's journey! And the clips to "love, love is a verb, love is a doing word" were so completely perfect and made me teary, and that first section with the community of Nonnatus House so perfectly encapsulates the show. I really loved this.

[aoifes_isle]

I absolutely adored this - it was gorgeously done, and the chosen song fit it beautifully. The interweaving of the various parts was done so seamlessly that i think this compares more than favourably to the "official music video" for when I Fall In Love that they did from clips of the show.

Lovely vid.

[sally_maria]

I loved this - I don't know the show well, just enough to follow where you were going, but you did a beautiful job of portraying the community and a personal struggle where there were no easy right answers, and no one was the bad guy.

[solosundance]

Beautiful - you captured the emotional core of the show and its many subtleties so well.

[arduinna]

Oh, this was lovely. Beautiful job of capturing both the overall show and Shelagh's personal journey. <3

[cinco]

Absolutely, spot-on perfect. <333

[laurashapiro]

Powerful. I don't know the show at all, but you've told a clear story well. The intercutting is great; really heightens the tension.

[usuallyhats]

This is wonderful.

[tabaqui]

Oh, that was absolutely, absolutely beautiful. Such a wonderful look at the journey she took from 'Sister Bernadette' to 'Shelagh'.

Glorious!

I would love to dl this vid, is that possible?

[thingswithwings]

this is so very lovely - I especially like the beginning part, where you show the warmth and collectivism of the community of nuns, but you also did a beautiful job with Shelagh's individual journey from there, her fear that she'll lose that community, and her joy when she's able to get married without losing the love and support of her sisters. Very sweet.

[echan]

Spectacular, truly. Such a comprehensive yet nuanced view of life from birth to maturity, religious life and love, romantic love, and so much more.

[cupidsbow]

Oh, this is lovely, just lovely.

[franzeska]

I love your intercutting.
