Before I watched this I said "oh god, this is going to make me cry, isn't it?" And I was right. Beautiful ♥

[tree_and_leaf]

That's a lovely tribute to a fantastic character and much missed actor - I love the shift in mood, from vulnerable to confident and brave.

[revolutionaryjo]

And then I cried rather a lot. This is absolutely beautiful. Bravo! ;_;

[pocky_slash]

I'm just sitting here in tears. This is beautiful.

[fizzyblogic]

Oh god, all the feelings. Beautiful tribute to a wonderful character.

[usuallyhats]

Absolutely beautiful. Made me cry!

[giglet]

Oh, this is wonderful!
Thank you!

It can sometimes be hard to watch SJS vids because... well. And this was no exception. My eyes were misty remembering the epic'ness of her awesome. She's beautiful in your vid; feisty and fierce and spazzy and clever. The way you merged Classic Who, NuWho and SJA really added a touching aspect to the vid. She was just too great to be contained in one era or one show :)

♥ I really, truly loved this tribute.

This is really really lovely. I love how the mood shifts with the music, from scared and sad to happy and confident. I'm re-inspired to watch more of Sarah Jane's episodes now!

[labellementeuse]

I cried. Incredible song choice, beautiful vid.

[thirdblindmouse]

This is so freaking amazing. One of the best festivids of the year. Great editing.

[fairestcat]

OH, Sarah Jane. This made me smile and it made me cry. <3<3<3

[aris_tgd]

This is soooo lovely. I'd say my favorite part was the musical break except that suggests that there are parts that aren't my favorite, and that cannot be true. Wonderful.

[bironic]

I haven't even seen most of these episodes, but the vid made me choke up. Sarah Jane looks amazing.

[rheanna]

I don't mind admitting to getting a bit teary watching this. It's a wonderful tribute: shot through with sadness from the unavoidable knowledge that Elisabeth Sladen is no longer with us, but there's so much joy and courage here that it's beautiful and uplifting. Really, really lovely.

[purplefringe]

Oh. oh. This is just....beautiful and lovely and delicate and heartbreaking beyond words. <3

[mecurtin]

I'm crying, yeah, but it's the *good* kind.

[felis]

So wonderful. <3 <3 <3

[arduinna]

Oh, this is lovely. So bright and brave and joyous! ♥ ♥ ♥

[thingswithwings]

This is beautiful. It filled my heart right up, up to the brim. SARAH JANE!!!! Thank you for this, it's gorgeous. <3

[lamardeuse]

Oh, wow. Lovely and poignant and perfect.

[ladysorka]

This is absolutely lovely and a wonderful tribute.

[pbristow]

Lovely! And now I have some more music to go and investigate... =:o} (Mumford & Sons, eh?)

[mresundance]

This was really incredible. The editing was spot-on and the song choice was perfect for Sarah. I really love how you showed her character arc and honored her journey through the series. Well done!

[murklins]

Sobbed like a child. Beautiful!

[rhivolution]

Oh, oh. So terribly sweet and lovely, this. Excellent work, amazing quality. Bravo.

[eruthros]

Oh, this is lovely!

[potted_music]

Great choice of song, and great vid, perfectly encapsulating the stubborn quirky brand of courage that Doctor Who portrays so often & so well.

[nellacitta]

OH, this is wonderful!

[laurashapiro]

This is so gorgeous. Exquisitely put together, with a terrific build, and so, so moving. I love character studies that capture all the different facets of a character, and you've done that here -- Sarah Jane at her best and her worst, her most vulnerable and her most powerful, happy, sad, ambivalent, and every important relationship. The vid is so rich, so full of love. Thank you for making it.

[leyna]

Wonderful tribute! I loved all the sequences of the different emotions (and Action!Sarah), and the final shot was a perfect choice.

[rustydog]

Wonderful, wonderful, thank you so much for sharing. I especially like the alternating clips between her earlier and later adventures. ♥

[franzeska]

I love the part from around 2:02-2:07. This is so much fun.
