That Wash vid was great. Having no lyrics really makes it more emotional. Good job.. Not too sure about the B/W/negative effect.. but other than that, I really liked it.

Best video! I cried, as hard as I did in the movie the first time.

You have a gift with these you know. Your "Very Act of Being" is another one of my favorites.

Thank you for sharing.

It was absolutely beautiful and haunting. A perfect tribute.

Love, luck, and lollipops!

Frankie and GypsyLife, this is one of the reasons why I made this vid, so we could grieve, because the movie left most of us a little numb and in shock. Fictional character or not, I needed a good cry as well.

I'm glad you both liked it and hope the crying helped!

Thank you, Schmacky.

I did try to find a song with words, but nothing conveyed the right tone or message. This one, from "House of Flying Daggers" (go see it!!! One of the most beautiful love stories ever!), just really spoke of love and beauty and loss, and really allowed the whole focus of the vid (Wash) to speak for it(him)self. I also liked that without words, we can each bring our own pov's to interpreting what we need out of this vid. Words would just confuse the issue.

At first I only had the B/W effect once, and I really really liked it where it was by itself, but later I was informed of the Rule of Three. that if I had some flashy effect, I had to use it more than just once or else it would stick out. Since I couldn't bear to part with it (when I use it with Zoe hurt as Wash walks away from her offscreen), I used it twice more in what I thought were other key chapter breaks. The other two never worked quite as well, and I'm not sure why. Could have been a difference in the lighting of the scene that the effect reacted differently with, I'm not sure.

But other than that, I'm really glad you liked it!

Thanks again, FollowMal! Sorry it's taken me so long to get back on the boards. I've been editing more vids like a fiend, and I think my bum is atrophying!

Ah, you're one of the lucky ones who was actually able to cry while *watching* the movie. I almost envy that ("almost" because there's that whole embarrassing "wailing and sniffling in public" thing :P).

Again you are too kind, so I'll be sure to be popping back in to reread this whenever I start feeling low :D

I REALLY mean what I'm saying. I watch for you to post new vids and I whoop when I see you have. Thank you so much for your talent and sharing it with us! And message me if you want if you are feeling low, I'll explain again how "Very Act of Being" has comforted me and made me feel alive and fulfilled when I was low.
