I came for the pun and stayed for the awesome -- this is gorgeous and fast-paced and compelling -- I loved it!

[jetpack_monkey]

Thanks!

[chagrined]

this was so quality. i think my fave part was when the cow sang "MOOOOOOO"(ves like jagger)

[jetpack_monkey]

That seems to be the most popular bit, which makes me happy, because I find it delightful.

*flails at you*

Eee! Oh, this was amazing and exactly what I was hoping for (and so much more besides)! Thank you so much! ♥♥♥

[jetpack_monkey]

[grav_ity]

This is amazing. Love the pun, love the execution. Fabulous job.

[jetpack_monkey]

Thank you!

[joyo]

good use of cow

[jetpack_monkey]

Moo!

[rosaxx50]

I wasn't sure what I was getting into when I saw the song choice, but now I know: it's what I didn't know I needed, my entire life. When the cow went 'moooo' with moves, was my particular favourite.

[jetpack_monkey]

I'm so glad to have been able to given you this necessary cornerstone of your existence. :D

[caramarie]

I enjoy this vid so much. The editing is so sharp and engaging, and it's just fabulous.

[jetpack_monkey]

Thanks!

[cupidsbow]

OMG, the cow mooing. That's when you really had me. :)

[jetpack_monkey]

:D :D :D

[cienna]

Wow, that was extremely entertaining! Great song choice! And of course I loved the cow. :)

[jetpack_monkey]

Needs more cow! Bell. Something. I was going for something there and I lost it.

Thanks for the comment!

[toft]

Okay, this was great. I feel like a bad person, but the 'moo-ooo-oooves' to the dying cow really made me laugh. Brilliant.

[jetpack_monkey]

If you're a bad person, what does that make the person who edited the footage that way? :D

[axiom_of_stripe]

ahahahahahahahahahahahah. beautiful. like, actually wonderful. :)

[jetpack_monkey]

Thanks!

[valoise]

When I saw what song was being used for this I was doubtful, at first, but Wow, this is great!

[jetpack_monkey]

Thank you!

[castalia]

I was seriously skeptical re the song choice, but omg, this works amazingly well. The cow! Christina as Yahweh! Love it.

[jetpack_monkey]

Someone suggested the song to me, re: Moses and Exodus years ago. They were talking The Ten Commandments, but I think it works better here.

[tielan]

*grins*

Love it.

[jetpack_monkey]

Thanks!

[skygiants]

THIS IS AMAZING. I cracked up at the mooing and then felt feelings when everyone was swept away. I love the fast-paced motion!

[jetpack_monkey]

Thank you!

[sweetestdrain]

I saw the song and source pairing and thought, "...that could be SO AMAZING if the vidder pulls it off." And oh vidder, it was beyond my wildest dreams. At the first shot of the burning bush, I shrieked. This vid is hilarious and epic and the most fun you can have with biblical plagues, I'm pretty sure.

[jetpack_monkey]

"The most fun you can have with biblical plagues" is going on my box art for my next DVD.

[isis]

The COW. OMG (literally).

This was wonderful in all the wrongest of ways.

[jetpack_monkey]

Thanks!

[littleheaven]

Oh, yes, the COW! This vid is made of awesome.

[jetpack_monkey]

Thanks!

[sdwolfpup]

Really enjoyed this - though like others I was very uncertain going in - but I'm surprised at how affected I still am by the plagues. The way you did the first-born children one in particular managed to not only keep the pace of the vid but still be affecting, and then sliding into their exodus away from Ramses was great.

[jetpack_monkey]

Yeah, handling the death of the first born was a tricky maneuver. I couldn't leave it out because it was huge, but early drafts that showed actual dead children brought the vid to a screaming halt. I chose to suggest the actual dying part and hope that the viewer brought some knowledge of Exodus with them.

[sanguinity]

This was very nicely done, and its especially impressive how you managed to keep the dark with such a light song! (Not to mention doing so while including such ridiculously comic moments as the cow!)

[jetpack_monkey]

Thank you!

[purplefringe]

THIS IS AMAZING AND GLORIOUS. You had me at the pun, but then the vid was EVEN BETTER than I was hoping. Omg. the cow. Omg just...everything. I never thought I'd see a comedy vid from the POV of God.

[jetpack_monkey]

I am a twisted individual! Thank you!

[elipie]

This is a-MAZING!!!!! The musicality here is really great and you have so many clever lyrical ties. Awesome, awesome, awesome. <333

[jetpack_monkey]

Thank you!

[chaila]

Fantastic editing! Jagger parting the seas is surprisingly appropriate. :D And haha, yes, excellent use of cow!

[jetpack_monkey]

Thanks!

[rhoboat]

THE COW. I love puns in vids, OMG. This is BRILLIANT. I really like this.

[jetpack_monkey]

[talitha78]
