I've just seen this during Challenges and I loved, loved, loved it!

Thank you!

Oh, this is so beautiful! And so tragic, of course.... I love the heartbeat-like intercutting in the first part, and then the emotional surrender in the second...

I feel like I tried something new with this vid and I'm glad you like it. :)

This is gorgeous! I love the rhythmic, repeated, breathy imagery of the first half, which feels more distant, like they are separate but parallel, like a set-up for the rest of it, which then becomes more intimate and tragic. Love the juxtaposition of the kissing and writing and the kissing of the letters.

And as per usual, now I want to go find this movie. :)

Thank you. I think my favorite part when editing was doing the kissing and writing and letter kissing section. It felt very perfect and light and beautiful, which my vidding rarely does.

It's a lovely movie. I deeply suggest watching it. I was a freaking mess afterwards.

holy crap, that was awesome.
the first part is just hypnotizing - so different; especially when compared to the second bit. i love it!

Thank you. It's strange, even for me.

Ooh, awesome vid! The first part was so sexy, and the second was lovely and sad.
