Oh, this is gorgeous.

[actiaslunaris]

Thank you!

[sasha_feather]

What a gorgeous vid. <3

[actiaslunaris]

Thank you so much! It's such a gorgeous film to begin with, that I loved working with the visuals.

[thingswithwings]

that was gorgeous.

[actiaslunaris]

Thank you.

[vehemently]

Excellent work!

[actiaslunaris]

Thank you! I'm pleased it worked for you.

[caramarie]

This is beautiful. And it just kind of grabs you and guts you. I especially like what you've done with the overlays, because wow.

[actiaslunaris]

I had to dial those overlays back because I wanted to keep the vid very simple in its message, and not too showy, to keep that emotional impact intact. This movie pretty much breaks my heart every time I watch it, and I wanted to communicate that. I'm pleased my choices worked for you.

[revolutionaryjo]

The Fall! This is so very stunning. I could watch it over and over and over again.

[actiaslunaris]

Oh, the ultimate compliment to a vidder! Thank you so much!

[icepixie]

This is so pretty.

[actiaslunaris]

Thank you.

[khaiell]

Oh wow, thank you so much! This is exactly what I was looking for. I loved the mood you created, and I have to say the song choice was perfect.

[actiaslunaris]

Your requests for this source were exactly what I wanted to make! I'm glad you like it!

[acari]

I have no idea what the source is but I want to find out now. This is stunning. I love how you wove the universes together.

[paxpinnae]

If you've never seen The Fall (2005), you really really should. It's visually stunning, natch, but the story is also really well-told - the two universes that the vidder portrayed are just as well-woven in the movie as they are in the vid.

[astrothsknot]

Stunning. Utterly stunning

[actiaslunaris]

Thank you. I'm glad you found it so.

[paxpinnae]

This was absolutely beautiful. The song choice worked really well, both as a reflection of the movie and on its own, and I like how you used the movie's use of red in place of the song's use of blue. Bravo!

[actiaslunaris]

Thank you! I really appreciate that you picked up on the color choices as that was something I was very mindful of while editing.

[softestbullet]

You captured the emotions of the movie so well!

[actiaslunaris]

Thank you. I'm glad I was able to do that and that it worked for you.

[serrico]

Absolutely lovely. Your interweaving of reality and storyland is so well done, with great emotional impact. And your clip choices make great use of the beauty of the movie.

*Lovely.*

[actiaslunaris]

Oh, thank you so much. I'm pleased all my choices were effective for you!

[echan]

This was so gorgeous, so flowing and epic and interwoven almost tangled together. The part that starts around 2:27 was just heart pounding. I need to watch this film now!

[actiaslunaris]

Oooo, I fair jumped in my seat when reading this comment! That's my favorite part, actually, so I'm glad you pointed it out. You should; it's quite a lovely movie, bittersweet and intense.

[lab]

Gorgeous choice of music and the editing slays me!

[actiaslunaris]

Awesome! Thank you so much.

[legoline]

I have no idea what the source is but this is just stunning. Great vid! You used the source's visuals so well.

[actiaslunaris]

It's such a gorgeous movie, about a very unlikely friendship. I heartily recommend it if you like bittersweet stories. Thank you.

[ghost_lingering]

This is lovely, and the song fits so well with the film. I love how you book end the beginning and end as well.

[actiaslunaris]

Thank you. The bookends were choices made at the very beginning of the editing process and just felt right. I'm glad you liked the song choice, too!

[metonymy]

Holy hell, this is stunning and amazing and one of the best vids I've ever seen.

[actiaslunaris]

Thank you. Any time I make some react with expletives makes me smile. I'm very pleased you liked it!

[gorgeousnerd]

This brought tears to my eyes in the best possible way, just like the movie does. Just beautiful.

[actiaslunaris]

I know! The movie still has the power to make me react that way. Thank you.

[ladysorka]

This is absolutely gorgeous.

[actiaslunaris]

Thank you.

[potted_music]

Oh wow. This is absolutely stunning.

[actiaslunaris]

Thank you so very much. :)

[skygiants]

This is a really gorgeous vid - you make incredible use of the film's incredible visuals.

[actiaslunaris]

Thank you. It was an engrossing experience to work with all that footage. It's so pretty!

[franzeska]

I love the choice of music and ending on the sky.

[actiaslunaris]

Thank you. I'm glad the music worked for you. As for the sky, it seemed like a logical choice!
