Very nicely done. Good pacing, good editing, good story flow. I like.

I second DQ's enthusiasm!

Thanks! I'm good to know that I'm not the only one. Sometimes I even wish he was a real person. Where's a plank when I need one?

Thanks again DOPEY!

Extremely well cut. Hats off to you. If you get bored and wanna experiment, there are some spots where audio clips could be added in. But it might not work, that's the joy of editing - you can make mistakes!

Again, nicely done.

Awesome. I am now annoying my work colleagues by playing this repeatedly. Much Jayne love here.

Rather than a traditonal "storyline" type video, what I was going for here was more of a character arc.

Act 1 (intro to the start of the second verse) -
Jayne as we all remember him - crude, rude, muscled, big guns, women. The man, the myth, the legend.

Act 2 (2nd verse and chorus) -
Jayne's darkest hour, betraying Simon, River, and the crew of Serenity on Ariel.

Act 3 (Bridge to end of song)
Jayne's redemption. Start off small, showing his human side - remorse at a funeral, caring for Kaylee, protecting Simon and River - and move to the coup de grace, the toppling of the statue in Jaynestown, signifying Jayne's realization that he's not a hero. Just a working stiff, like everyone else.

That's what I was going for, Did anybody really get that from watching the video?

Oooo... that makes it even better. i didnt think about the whole story arc but I did think alot about the ending before you explained the story. Sorry...I'm a bit slow. But I still love it!

Have to say, I missed the arc of it. But I was distracted by the whole big sexy man with gun thing...

I'm definitely someone who thought that Jayne would redeem himself - I've always thought his 'betrayal' was more of an instinct to protect his crew from the (still) outsiders - and possibly get Kaylee back from Simon.

Hey DN101 - I did not overthink it to that extent, and I think that's what most artists (and creative people in general) would like to hear! But despite my not overthin' it n'all I did go through a series of emotions which, on reading your above description, makes perfect sense! I was all 'Yeah! Woo - that's pure Jayne right there' - then ...'Oh this is dark... bad Jayne' and finally 'Now that's the Jayne I know and love...' so there you go - it worked without me studying it, analysing it and submitting an essay on it - unless you count this as an essay ... which you could 'coz it's long enough!

you know what I mean! Love - Magdalena x x

Thanks, Magdalena. That's exactly the kind of response I was hoping for.

I didn't notice this until the shift between Act 2 and Act 3, but I definitely saw it after that shift. Well done.
