You are too sweet. I'm a sucky vidder when it comes to betas. I was pretty much done and wanted to let you see how I changed it. *head desk*

In my earlier draft, the grave and death imagery wasn't hitting the right notes, so I added a tinytiny 3% color burn layer over the whole vid of the grave in the first clip. I hope it meshes better with the tone of the music.

As I said before, I'm positive that tptb gave me the last episode because they knew exactly what my vid needed. My eyes went huge during some scenes because I knew the perfect place to lay certain shots in.

I can't make a happy holiday vid. I tried last year and it didn't work either. There's always next year!

Sarah is such an amazingly layered and complex character. I still can't get over how the vid can be nearly summed up by the quote from Eileen in the trailer: “You’re a mother. You’re a seeker. You’re a soldier. You’re everything but you’re nothing.”

You and [livejournal.com profile] cathexys had a great hand in bringing the focus in more and helping me to be less opaque. Seriously, the 2:13 moment wouldn't have happened at all.
