Lyrics
The explosion that destroyed our city,
razed our homes, and transformed our fields into wasteland
was nothing compared to what is now happening to those that survived.

What a gorgeous mindfuck. It's kind of like an impressionist painting in motion. Great work.

[cherry]

Thank you ever so much.

[agnes_bean]

This is awesome. So well edited, and it really captures the film -- it makes me want to watch it again!

[cherry]

Thank you!

[laurashapiro]

Wow. Cree-pee. Nice work, very flashy, very stylish.

[cherry]

Thank you, hon.

[were_duck]

Wow. This is phenomenally well-crafted. The repetition and the cutting is just amazing (and stark, and beautiful, and disturbing--perfect distillation of the source)

[cherry]

Thank you so much. It's such a beautifully stark movie, and I'm so glad you think I did it justice.

[chaila]

Holy crap, that is some amazing editing! Deeply creepy.

[cherry]

Thank you so much.

[thingswithwings]

wow, this is gorgeous. great music choice, and I love the gradually-speeding-up mashup of repetitive images and events, the way you exteriorize Sam's inner confusion and existential crisis. Given that the film itself contrasts that confusion with so many long, lingering shots, the shift between the style of this vid and the style of the film was delicious.

[cherry]

Thank you ever so much! It really is one of my favourite sci fi movies, and I'm so glad that you thought I did it justice.

"Moon" is one of the finest scifi movies in recent history and a personal favourite of mine. Definitely not one of the easiest movies to vid but I think you were able to capture the essence of the film very well with your editing. The claustrophobic, unreal situation in which Sam starts to question his sanity. Great job!

[cherry]

Thank you ever so much! It's one of my favourite science fiction films, and I was little worried about how viddable it was. I'm so glad you liked it!

[echan]

This was amazing, and other film I'm kicking myself for not having seen yet. The intercutting was very effective way to set the mood and emotion, and really enhanced the power and impact of the song choice. The photos and videocall were so distancing from reality and real people, they just heightened the feel of surreality and questioning what's going on. Everything you did was so well done, oh festividder, and I enjoyed it greatly!

[cherry]

Moon really is one of my favourite science fiction films -- if you're at all interested, I totally recommend it! Some of what I love best about the film is its sense of place and mood, and its quiet/loud confusion, so I'm so glad I managed to capture some of that for you.

Thank you so much!
