Oh god, this is GREAT. It's the first piece I've ever seen that shows you how alien the Doctor really is, how he sees the world, how he experiences time.

To the human eye, this is both fragmented and obviously a unified whole, the critical Martha moments overlapping and blending seamlessly, but at the same time feeling disparate, scattered, glimpsed for the briefest of seconds. There's something profound here about how memory works, how pieces of it fade, that recalls sweetestdrain's "Don't Lose Yourself", but this is unique. I can totally believe the Doctor remembers this way.

What a brilliant technique! I'm in awe.

The companions are a blip to The Doctor. I like using still images and piling layers on and it's something close to how I think The Doctor remembers people and places and times. Like one big memory of Martha that doesn't all move the way it should because his life is so vast that he doesn't remember it all, but he still remembers so much.

I remember "Don't Lose Yourself," I think. The structure was cool and the effects were beautiful.

Yes! I agree 100%. And I love what you say about how he remembers. The vid definitely gets that across.
