Well, yeah, but I mean *underneath* it's Fred. That's what comes through the most clearly to me about the vid.

DUDE. I love that I can make a vid and you catch something I didn' think anyone would see. I recently read an Illyria comic that dealt with how much of Fred was left in Illyria and how it comes out. I had that in mind when vidding and how Illyria looks down so much on the shell, but then the thing that happened in the comic happened and it made it more clear how Illyria uses the bits of Fred.

I was trying to be vague without ruining the comic...

Well, I haven't read the comic, but I see Fred in there, too. At first I was most struck by the aesthetics of all the head-turns right around 00:45ish. I love that repetition visually. So I watched again to get a better sense of it, and it was like Illyria was constantly getting distracted by someone tapping her on the shoulder. So jittery. Of course, it's Fred inside her! So your summary could be reworded: Fred won't move over, won't get gone. Love it.

Technically Fred isn't in the vid beyond the point where she dies in the beginning. The rest is Illyria using her persona, like the "sparks" that were left over.

I'm all over repeated visuals. :)

I thought about having Fred instead of Illyria, but went with the former.

Thanks!
