Really enjoyed that! Thanks!

[laura47]

So creepy and atmospheric! Great job!

[cupidsbow]

Dreamy, gothic and gorgeous character study.

[ratcreature]

Great atmosphere.

[pearwaldorf]

Beautifully atmospheric. Great job!

[neonhummingbird]

Instrumentals are always a challenge to vid, and you met that challenge; beautiful use of musical cues, even the subtle ones.

[mardia]

Oh, this is great. I especially love how you used the show's imagery here, wonderful effect.

[rivkat]

Really beautiful editing!

[littleheaven]

Fantastic song choice! You've done a great job of capturing the creepy, darker side of the show. Beautiful editing.

[thuviaptarth]

This is gorgeous and atmospheric. I don't find the show itself particularly creepy, but you've made its sometimes hokey special effects shuddersome.

[gorgeousnerd]

What a great vid! I loved the sense of movement in it a lot, and the song was perfect with it.

[giandujakiss]

That was beautifully constructed. I particularly love how you ended it, with them toasting each other but there's still more they have to face.

[monkey_pie]

Really beautiful and well done!

[heresluck]

Oh wow, I LOVE this. Such fantastic use of the show's various symbols and striking images (and yet not especially spoilery -- this would be a great recruiter vid!). I see other people using the word "atmospheric" and I totally agree; it's like a Sleepy Hollow tone poem. The use of the music is just wonderful -- the use of the beat throughout and of the shuddery strings at 1:42ish, but also the pacing of the whole thing. And the use of motion! At 1:18 where the car zooms and the motion continues into Ichabod's roll -- it's so cool, visually, but it's also part of this overall sense of *momentum* that the vid has. I will definitely be rewatching this one.

[theoret]

Absolutely beautiful musicality.

[valoise]

Very atmospheric and extremely well-cut, this is a fantastic vid!

[loligo]

What a great job of capturing (and intensifying) the show's creepy/gothic elements.

[sarkastic]

This was really cool. I enjoyed it a ton!

[bedlamsbard]

Oooh, this is lovely and spooky and atmospheric.

[laurashapiro]

Yay, instrumental! And you used it brilliantly. I love the pacing of this, and the way you created a sense of the scope of the show while gradually increasing the tension.

[metonymy]

Holy shit, that was AMAZING. A great trailer for the season as a whole - and those last images! WOW.

[leanwellback]

Oh wow, this is outstanding. Absolutely beautiful editing and wonderful musicality. I love everything about this, amazing work!

[aruan]

Sums up the subtitle of this show: Abbie and Ichabod save the WORLD! Lovely work.

[felis]

Yeah, this is brilliant, right from the start with the bird, and your use of the show's imagery is fantastic for setting the atmosphere. I love the bit from 1:04 to 1:15, it's awesome as a bridge from lead-up to present day and for building tension, every musical cue accounted for, and then the shift to Ichabod and Abbie as a team with the string theme, the action climax with great movement in there, and finally I especially adore the ending, back to the Abbie-Ichabod theme, drinking together and then the clasped hands facing forward, door to the next chapter. Great work.

[arduinna]

Oh, this was gorgeous.

[franzeska]

Wonderful musicality! I like how your vid changed as the horseman fell to his knees.
