Beautiful and eerie; I especially love your titles, the vast expanses of light and darkness. I am determined to watch this show now. =)

[actiaslunaris]

Thank you. I was lucky to have that concept occur to me right away after viewing. I am especially proud of the titles!

[ghost_lingering]

I LOVE THIS. I love the use of light and darkness and I love how the characters are searching for something, how all around them are hints of the abnormal, strange. And the song! The song is perfect.

BUT, I have a confession to make and that is that I totally fail as a recipient because despite having wanted to see it before it came out, I have *still* not watched Joseon X-Files, but I just -- I LOVE this vid, it is so beautiful and it just reinforces that I need to watch this show and that it is going to be amazing and that I am going to fall in love with the characters. So listen: HERE IS A PROMISE. I am going to watch the show before reveals happen and come back and tell you about all the things that I love about the vid that went over my head the first time around due to completely failing as a fan. But I DO love this, I do, and, honestly, more kdrama vids = BEST PRESENT EVER, because if there is one thing that I want more of in fandom it's kdrama vids.

Basically, instead of being a recruiter vid, this is a kick in the pants vid. *g* Thank you for that! Seriously, thank you -- I love this now, and I *know* I'll love it more once I hold up my end of the bargin.

[actiaslunaris]

Thank you so much! All your comments made me squee! Yes, they are searching. I'm also so pleased the song works for you.

I'm not sure if you've managed to watch the show yet, but I look forward to when you do! I do love making vids to Asian dramas, because it does bring them to the attention of more people. You're very welcome, but thank you, too, because without your request, I wouldn't have watched this show, probably for a long, long time, if ever.

[ghost_lingering]

I am downloading the show right now, but I still haven't started it. (Ended up spending the past week catching up on Community instead of kdramas ... /fail) But I love that I managed to pimp the show to you without even watching it first! One of my goals in requesting kdramas -- besides the fact that I love them -- is that I want more people, particularly vidders, to love them too, because if there's one thing I want in vidding fandom it's more kdrama vids. *g* So thank you again, and I will let you know when I've watched the show & am able to properly appreciate this gift!

I really enjoyed this, I don't know the source, but I love the music choice, and it was just beautiful and so well paced to the music, and I love it.

[actiaslunaris]

Oh, thank you! I had that music on replay for months, before I even thought of setting it to this source. I'm lucky the source was so well suited to it!

[dharmavati]

Wow, you captured the spookiness and mystery of this show perfectly! I love how you seamlessly wove together all these eerie moments and tied them all together with the light and dark theme.

[actiaslunaris]

Thank you so much! I had so many choices for clips, but these were the ones that spoke to me.

[laurashapiro]

Beautiful.

[actiaslunaris]

Thank you!

[starlady]

I've never seen the show, which is clearly an oversight on my part, but this vid manages to convey so much even to the uninitiated, particularly with the light and shadows and the music. Excellent.

[actiaslunaris]

Thank you! It's only a small part of the overall show, but it's the one that impressed me the most. I'm pleased that it works for you!

[thuviaptarth]

This is amazing! I love how you use light as movement.

I haven't seen the show yet, but I had no idea they meant the "X Files" part of the title so literally.

[actiaslunaris]

Thank you!


Hee. I personally think it's shout-out, instead of imitation, but I took great pleasure in calling back to that show!

[eruthros]

Wow, this is just amazing. The way you use light and shadow as movement within and between frames is just gorgeous, and I think I have to watch this show now.

[actiaslunaris]

The show is well worth it, and it has many, many more moments of beauty in it than I was able to show. Thank you!

[franzeska]

I loved how you went to the washed out shot with all the light just as the music died.

[actiaslunaris]

That's one of my favorite bits, too! I was a little nervous about having all that silence, though, so I'm glad it works for you. Thanks!

[livrelibre]

That was wonderful and I really need to watch this source now.

[actiaslunaris]

I hope you do! I liked it very much. Thanks for commenting!

[thingswithwings]

oh wow - I'm just getting in a few more vids before the reveal, and I'm SO GLAD I chose to watch this one. I didn't even know the show existed, but now it is obviously something I have to watch. The vid is gorgeous - I love the music choice and the sort of creepy/intense/expectant vibe it sets up. And the ending is perfect - a little shiver of something amazing or maybe something terrible, just about to happen. WOW.

[actiaslunaris]

Ooo, thank you! I love the ambiguity of the music, as well, and was so happy to be able to use it with something that it seems to have been made for.

The ending is amazing. Has to be seen to be believed, but I'm not going to tell you what happens! Heh.

[andraste]

As everyone has already told you, this is an exceedingly pretty vid. Gorgeous use of light and colour.

[actiaslunaris]

I can't tell you many times I've watched it myself, amazed that I made that. Thank you!

amazing !
