That was lovely. So pretty.

[revolutionaryjo]

This is gorgeous.

[muccamukk]

Gorgeous. I love how you captured the surreal romance of the film, along with a good deal of the key character interaction. Lot's of neat details too. I especially like the imposition of the wolf trap over the Bishop's face. And the sequence of shooting the hawk is wonderfully done.

Wow, lovely and soaring. Thanks for this great look at the film.

[arduinna]

Oh, that was lovely, and such a gorgeously evocative song to match the source. It makes everything both dreamier and a bit darker than the original. Really nicely done.

[marinarusalka]

Oh, wow, that's just beautiful. Ladyhawke is my favorite movie, and I think this is the first vid I've ever seen for it. You really captured the ethereal feel of the story and personalities of all the characters, and the music choice is lovely.

[franzeska]

Why would you want to make it less 80s?!

(OK, OK, fine, this is a great choice of music and a gorgeous vid. Also, this is just as 80s as the movie. I am just saying.)

i first heard that song on the soundtrack from the craft and i wasn't sure if the association would get in the way, but you definitely made it completely new in this context. it's beautifully done.

[calvinahobbes]

What a striking choice of music, that really worked for me. I especially liked the cut at 02:21, but there were so many beautiful transitions between clips. Lovely!

[swordznsorcery]

Wow. Amazing work here. Very atmospheric.

[vivien]

This was so beautiful it gave me chills. Thank you for making it.

[sasha_feather]

[ladysorka]

[lo_rez]

Entrancing. Beautiful work!

[archersangel]

amazing.

[livrelibre]

Oh so lovely!

[colls]

what a beautiful vid!

[leyna]

Beautiful editing, and emotion and story telling, and it captures just how stunning looking the film is, too.

[actiaslunaris]

So beautiful. I love how the music emphasizes the fairy-tale quality of the source.

[laurashapiro]

Magical. Love those perfect dissolves.

I love this! I keep meaning to watch the movie and being put off by Tangerine Dream, so I'm all *flaily hands of glee* just at the idea of this, and it's so gorgeously constructed on top of that! I love the sense of time -- it's succinct and heavy with action and meaning, but it doesn't feel rushed. There's room to breathe. And the transition from ripping out the arrow to the horse rearing up is just brilliant. *hearts*

[thingswithwings]

this is beautiful. The crossfades really work to establish a mood, and your use of objects (like the sequence with the weapons) and spaces (landscapes, interior spaces) is really sharp and lovely. I almost felt like the people weren't people, for most of the vid, just parts of the landscape, objects moving without free will. But then the end sort of shifted that back around, showing so many faces and expressions.
