Mason!♥

Great song choice, it fits the narrative so well. I never know how to comment on vids because I'm a non-technical person, but I just want to say that this is very well-done, just pretend I knew a better way to say it. :P

[fahrbotdrusilla]

Wow. I really loved that! I sort of forgot how dark the show was, which is funny given what it's about.

[khaiell]

Oh Mason. This was a great character study.

I think it's like a festivids law that there must always be one vid that makes me go "Oh, Mason," but this one was much darker than the ones in the past. It works really well.

[serrico]

Like the above commenter, there's usually one Festivid that provokes an, "Oh, Mason." But *wow*, this one's...really very much more grim and no-nonsense about it. It packs a fantastic punch.

...oh, *Mason*.

Oh, this hurt in all the best ways. You really made a smart song choice, and the ways you used it to steer the vid, to steer our viewings of the clips, was masterfully done.

Don't know the show at all but this was awesome - loved the narrative flow here as things got darker and more desperate.

[catwalksalone]

That was a real gut punch to the stomach. You forget just how fucked-up Mason really was and when it's condensed into vid length it just condenses the pain. Really well made. I don't have the vocabulary to talk about your technical choices, so can I just say I really appreciated them?

Really great vid - I loved how the intensity and the darkness built up as it went along.

[china_shop]

Wow! I don't know the source, but this totally hooked me in. Fantastic work!

[laurashapiro]

Well, this is GREAT.

[bessyboo]

I think I'm gonna have to go with the "oh, MASON" response as well. This is hurty in all the best ways.

[franzeska]

I love the emotion in this one.

[ghanimasun]

This was brilliantly done, and was better than I anticipated it would be. Makes me want to go watch the show all again too.

This is really effective in showing Mason's descent as he gets more and more emotionally involved. Excellent stuff! Downloading for keeps.
