I would MAKE OUT with this vid. Oh God, I need my con DVD NOW because I'm watching the fuck outta this.

Dean as El Wray in the hospital scene is absolutely filling me with glee. And the Wincest and the strippers and the ZOMBIE STRIPPERS!

[cupidsbow.livejournal.com]

Wow. That's so surreal and interesting.

[jhava.livejournal.com]

That is just an incredible vid -- talk about editing! Bearing in mind the limited lyrics ::grin::, the emotional content behind this vid is amazing. Well done!

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

Wow! I'm here because jhava linked and I wouldn't have wanted to miss this. You really manage to tell a whole new story by mixing these different clips. Thumbs up and thanks for sharing!

[eisakay.livejournal.com]

That was so freaking cool.

[gottalovev.livejournal.com]

that was absolutely AWESOME. visually stunning! =D

[bigmamag.livejournal.com]

Dude, most awesome shit I've seen in a long while! :D

[serrico.livejournal.com]

What's better than hardcore Winchester-zombie-fighting--cest? Not bloody *much*, I tell you.

The effects in this thing are *incredible*. Wow.

[dragojustine.livejournal.com]

DUDE. That's... cool. (I am such a vid newbie, pardon me). Really, really cool. I totally want to see that sexy gory incestuous slasher zombie flick!

I kept telling Milly to comment "YOU FUCKED OUR BRAINS and we'll be back to comment later" while we were at the con because I didn't want to impose on her computer time with three other people in our room and only one laptop that was prone to overheating, but I was all like OMG THIS VID MUST LET WHITNEY KNOW NOW THAT IT FUCKED MY BRAIN but it doesn't look like she got around to it, so now I have to do my own dirty work. So, uh, where was I?

All of us were sitting together at Challenge and right after this vid we all leaned across and said "Whitney?" to each other and nodded vigorously, and that was that as far as the double-blind went. NO ONE does the fucked-up the way you do. (And also we all punched the air in triumph when it was revealed that you in fact did it because Oh Hai, It Was Our Awesome Friend and we got to bask vicariously.)

The first time I watched this at the show I felt like I really got the Fuck You. Upon rewatch now I'm no longer sure that was your primary meaning, but I'll lay it down anyway and would love to hear your thoughts on it.

My initial reading revolves around the juxtaposition between the zombie whores and the Wincest. I keep seeing the zombie misogyny to the very heavy grinding beat, the blood, the Missing Reel, and among that you splice the graphic Wincest to the much softer, ballad-y stuff, and to me that's the equivalent of flipping off the SPN fangirls for enjoying "lalala the boys are hot when fucking each other" when there are much more sinister themes at play both in the show and in the vid. The first time I watched it, the vid wasn't so much about a linear narrative as it was a scream of frustration at SPN fandom. The more I watch it the more I pick out a narrative thread, but not having seen any of the zombie movies it's hard for me to piece out where it starts or ends. But that's enough wank for now. It's a fucking brilliant vid and probably the most graphically grotesque I've seen, not just for the con but probably anywhere ever, which - YAY. :D You twisted genius, you.

Seriously, every time we saw a vid at VVC that made us go "Obviously a completely insane person made this... and it's AMAZING," it would turn out to be YOURS. I totally pegged you for either this one or Brad's in challenges. I can't say it inspired a lot of deep thoughts about horror and feminism in me, but I was very impressed by the constructed reality. I wish my various OCD rubrics allowed me to rec it -- obviously my heart belongs to Joanie if picking one. Your Club Vivid premieres were also VERY SHINY, and generally you are a frighteningly talented and demented creature.

Dude, this was just cool! I only know SPN, so I think it makes for a more screwed-up yet shockingly coherent AU - like some lost SPN ep filmed through David Lynch's worst nightmares. Like Saw, if Saw were smart enough to think about what it was doing.

And you are rocking the underground snuff film effects

[counteragent.livejournal.com]

I didn't understand this. But that doesn't mean I didn't think it was awesome! Because it was.

I thought the Fuck You was all about making our own AUs (but that's a big theme of mine right now, so I see it everywhere). Kind of like, f-u, we can tell ANY story we goddam well want.

Anyway, awesome.

I really, really liked this video. I thought it was really well slung together and awesome. I understood it, but I kinda wanted a longer summery cause..okay I'm a bit sto0pid, and haven't seen anythin' other then supernatural, so maybe a little story line to read before/after I watched it would have been cool. (And that's not like, bad or anything that's just me being lame and stuff lol.) But the video it's self kicked ass hard core, even if I didn't really understand some of it...okay, feeling lame, I'm going to go...with one last 'awesome and rad'.

[archerstar.livejournal.com]

This vid is AWESOME. Like, OH GOD. You can have my first born, yes?

I can't stop watching it and it's creepy as fuck (because hi, zombies...and zombie strippers) but it's so freakin' sweet that I'm all 'wheeeee...watch it again, yay!' and I'm slowly going incoherent as I run out of words to describe the awesome. So yeah. Awesomeness. Squee. Zombie strippers. *iz ded*

And I have a matching icon. All is well with the world.

Dude, this turned my brain to mush in the Challenge show. So I immediately knew it was you. ;) You did a really fantastic job of blending the different sources together seamlessly, both visually and narratively-speaking. And I love how the pace and tone of the vid shifts perfectly in time with similar shifts in the pace and tone of the song. The whole thing is probably one of the most unique vids I've ever seen. It's fucked up in a very delicious way and so very you. Definitely one of the highlights of the con.

[tsuki-no-bara.livejournal.com]

i love that you put zombies in spn. :D everything fit so well! and the effects are really cool. two decaying thumbs up.

[chasarumba.livejournal.com]

Watching this vid in the challenge show was a really gleeful experience -- I remember thinking, "DAMN, I don't really know what this is, but I like it!" You are experimental and bold about vidding in the best sense of both words and this vid felt like an in-your-face celebration (with zombies! and incest!) of those qualities. I love all of the aspects of distortion you introduced...film scratches/dust, the waves, colorizations, the bands of light rolling through frames. It had so much atmosphere. The touches of humor were so great, like the missing reel at 2:21. And I love how you managed to actually ratchet the damn vid up another notch after that missing reel bit, like my mind wasn't already in a blender :-) Disturbing, yeah, and fucking awesome.

Hey, I recced this at spnroundtable. The dl link seems to be busted. Any chance of a reupload?

And heh, re-reading my comment up there--I saw Zombie Strippers, and I was meh. You could've done much better.

[lilly-the-kid.livejournal.com]

Hi there,

I just came across this vid and it's so amazing. I can't believe I only just "discovered" it. I would love to download it but the upload seems to have expired. Would you be willing to reupload it?
Thanks a lot!

:)
