Oh Susan! I love it! <3

[thingswithwings]

Thank you! :)

[mresundance]

There can never be enough vids that prove that Susan is awesome! I loved the song choice in this. Your editing is very crisp and the storyline is abundantly clear.

[thingswithwings]

Thank you! That's wonderful to hear. I definitely agree that more Susan-is-awesome vids would not go amiss. :)

SUSAN!!!!!! \o/

[thingswithwings]

:D :D :D

[vivien]

Gorgeous! I love how you utilized the imagery in the editing. The cape in motion, her expressions - lovely!!

[thingswithwings]

Thank you so much! I'm really glad those elements worked for you. :D

[sholio]

Oh, perfect! I love this a lot! <3

[thingswithwings]

Thanks! :)

[sasha_feather]

This is great!!! I love the horse. :D

[thingswithwings]

haha, thank you!

[serrico]

YAY, SUSAN! This vid shows her so clearly. I love how you bookended the vid, in a way, with her use of the poker; that's one of my favourite elements of the story, and it works so *well* in visuals here.

[thingswithwings]

Aw, yay, thank you! I love the poker too, and had a lot of fun figuring out how to use it in the vid. SUSAN!

I've never seen Discworld, only read the books, but this was gorgeous and wonderful. I loved the strength at 1:14, and the "pause for panic that is really plotting to kick your ass" at 2:02.

[thingswithwings]

Thank you! I'm really thrilled that those feelings came through for you. :)

[lilmoka]

SUSAAAAAN!!!!! <3

[thingswithwings]

:D :D :D IKR!

[such_heights]

This is fantastic! OH, SUSAN, ILU. I really like the editing style here.

[thingswithwings]

Aw thank you so much buddy! I'm glad you liked it. SUSAN!

[giandujakiss]

Don't know the source at all but this is lovely - there's such an interesting contrast between the style of the music and the visuals, but you make it work beautifully.

[thingswithwings]

Thank you! Yeah, I have this thing about some British fandoms to American country music (so many Doctor Who vids to make, so little time) and so I was excited about that contrast too . . . then I learned that The Epstein, for all they sound country, are from Oxford. ;p

[potted_music]

The awesomeness of Susan and the awesomess of the vid combined => my mind blown.

[thingswithwings]

:D aw yay! I'm so glad to hear it, thank you.

[eruthros]

This is lovely! Oh, Susan.

[thingswithwings]

Thanks buddy!

[lunabee34]

OMG SUSAN IS SO AWESOME! YOUR VID IS SO AWESOME! AWESOME.

[thingswithwings]

hahaha YAAAAAY I'm so glad! Thank you! We are definitely in agreement re: Susan.

[scintilla10]

SUSAN. ♥ Oh my heart, this vid is excellent.

[thingswithwings]

That's so wonderful to hear, thank you! :)

[carnivorousgiraffe]

First: I was doing my (late) yearly rereading of the Hogfather in a coffee shop yesterday and this song started playing. Awesome but creepy.

Much like this vid, if you add GORGEOUS. I loved this it is such a perfect overview of the story and Susan's badassery. I really loved pretty much everything with the chorus, the part with Teatime in the nursery and the ending, oh, the ending was so beautiful. This was amazing thank you so much!

[thingswithwings]

Oh, I'm so happy that you felt that way, thank you! I love Susan's badassery and was really glad to have a chance to portray it in vid-form, so, thank you for giving me the opportunity to do so! :) And thanks again for the lovely comment.

[grey_bard]

This vid is amazing. I never would have thought of this music choice, but it works perfectly, and you always pick just the right images to tell her story.

[thingswithwings]

Thank you so much! Yeah, when I heard this song I really felt like it was perfect for Susan, even though it might not be the most obvious music/source matchup of all time. :) I'm really happy it worked for you!

[china_shop]

This is beautiful! *applauds*

[thingswithwings]

Thank you! :)

[petra]

This is gloriously Susan. I adore the poker scenes and the distillation of her epic arc into this song, which fits better than I would've thought possible.

[thingswithwings]

Oh, thank you so much! It was hard to distill her arc (the movie has SO MANY ENDINGS OH MAN) so I'm really happy that it worked for you.

[livrelibre]

So much pretty (and power)!

[thingswithwings]

Aw thanks buddy! Gorgeous + powerful is pretty much SUSAN in a nutshell. With a bunch of other things too. Like hot schoolmarm disciplinarian stuff.

[franzeska]

That was AWESOME! I haven't seen this source, but you make it look like so much fun!

[thingswithwings]

Thanks, I'm happy to hear that.
