OKAY. OKAY.

YES. *gathers self together*

I love this song choice so much!! I love how around 2:15 on, everything just starts becoming a complete clusterfuck, and how he really starts to question himself -- the lyrics really lend themselves to the vid, especially at that point. I keep saying "love" (but it's the right word! LOVE!), but I love your use of the fsociety footage, error 404, the camera angles (especially at 2:58). And the credits are SO CLEVER!!! Ahhhhh I just really really adore this vid. Thank you so much!! <333

That intro is such good vidding. The painting sets up Elliot being an outsider and then follows it up and then leads into the surveillance and paranoia. And in a short amount of vid time.

Love the way the music dictates the progression of the vid with the drugs and Darlene.

I love how you followed up the Evil Corp with the un-knowledgeable approving nod from ignorant dude. LOVE THAT along with Elliot's annoyed face.

The musical cue on the scary random people in the subway at 1:32 is perf. And so is the musical tone at 1:36 bringing in the mask.

I really dig how you put together the two different pushes on the pier and then with the window.

I love jump-cuts on people's faces as they emote. And I love that the last clip is him looking down the barrel.

Those credits are clever AF.

I haven't seen this show but this vid made me want to! I like the tension in this vid and the song really builds the narrative nicely.

God the lyrics for this. "I'm afraid you know something I should know" - I keep flashing to Elliot talking to the audience.

Love the intro to Darlene, with her ringing the bell. The quick cuts. That last shot of Elliot's face. What a good vid.

This is fantastic. The editing is great, the song choice manages to reflect the mood of the show really well.
