Reactions/Reviews

[ringwench] OK, that vid was DAMN amazing! Loved loved LOVED the overlay of clips! Very nicely done and interesting song choice![1]

[JakeNRoland]This was one of the VERY few instances where I ended up liking the song that was used if I'd not heard it prior to watching the video. I also really enjoyed the overlay section that was prominent in the middle and then came back briefly toward the end. That and the song made it for me. [2]

[Cliodna] I just watched this again, and I realized that I had really underestimated it when I first watched it. This video is great! The music fits the pace everywhere, and the transitions/effects are very tasteful. [3]

[MoreLight] What a great song for Lost.

Excellent vid editing that reminds me of all the great LithiumDoll vids. There are so many amazing things in this vid. The ghostly images to make this more dizzing, the Polar bear gunshots to the beat, and the burning wreckage with flashes of each character are just some of my favorite parts. I love how the clips and cuts keep the action going at the break neck pace through to the end.

Thank you LD for this excellent vid. [4]

[happyme] What a wonderful combination - Lithium Doll and a Lost vid'.

I noticed your acknowledgment of the copyright holders. Wise. Zip file number 47. Cute.

Had trouble making out the lyrics at some points - especially the segment at approximately 44 seconds. The vocal is different to what I'm used, however, I don't dislike it. The song is appropiate (the intro sounds as if it could have been part of the score). It is also chaotic (what could be more chaotic than a plane crash and its aftermath).

Enjoyed the use of fades to black - those are tricky to sync' as used here.

Loved the fast-paced action of the vid'.

Good character moments.

Nice overlays (I note how you've used similar scenes - works well IMHO). I see that you've gone from dissolve to dissolve (rather than letting scenes play out). I love this effect.

Like the gun on the prominent beats.

I'd love to see this on a big screen (ie, I think it'd make a good con' vid').

I thought it rocked.[5]

[przed] Fabulous, as always. The song is perfect for this show, and I love your editing choices all the way through. My favourite bit, however, is right near the end where you have the quick cuts of everyone's past on the final chorus. Lovely. BTW, your vids looked great on the big screen at BASCon. Thanks so much for sending them.....We got compliments on it at the Dead Dog Panel at the end of the con. Thanks for helping us out with clips for it.[6]

[blackholedebris] Dude: I thought this fucking rocked, but you wouldn't think it if you read your own notes on it first--which I didn't. So I was oh so happily surprised to realize it was a Lost vid, and a fucking awesome one at that. I love the running and the Kate triangle and the knife. So. damn. cool. Favorite vid ever..[7]
