Oh that was awesome!!! I loved the way you began it with the focuses going to the song and everything (also made for a great ending scene!). I also loved the way you cut the scenes to the music and the beat as well as some fawesome lyrical interpretation. Definitely a unique vid you have here, this is going to be a really tough challenge methinks! Good luck!!

OMG woman! Look at you GO!!!

That was absolutely wonderful hun. I can't believe what you have been able to achieve with your program. The colouring and transitions were fantastic, subtle yet effective.

Love the story telling - what a great song for the boys. It was so heartbreaking.

It's weird but initially I wasn't too sure about those 2 opening clips - but when I saw the way you tied them in at the end I was totally squeeful about them!!! Really nice touch.

Congratulations on a beautifully made vid!!! *dances* Just wonderful.

The great WMM tamer!
Oh Toni, where to begin?
Yet again, it’s been a pleasure to watch this through it’s stages as every addition you made thrilled me, and further enhanced your crystal clear storyline and deepened the emotional journey.

Your edit of the song is brilliant and the intro just seems tailor made for the two images of the boys; it gives me chills. I just love how straight off the bat you’ve declared your intent (separating their POV’s), going on to successfully unravel their feelings towards each other and of themselves, and the breakdown of their relationship.
Your interpretations throughout this are indeed “fawesome”! The lyrics are so exact for their situation - knowing something is wrong with the other, trying to help but not knowing how or what to do, worried and wanting to talk but the distance between them is already intensifying and before long it’s too late.
Each clip choice brings the lyric to life in the most heartbreaking and truthful way. I adore every one but some favourite aspects are:
0:52 - 0:58 even though it’s not the first time Dean’s seen Sam’s powers, this particular moment has so much more emotional impact for “I can’t believe it’s true”.
0:59 - 1:02 is the perfect glimpse of “the future”, I think it’s much more unsettling than say the earlier “evil Sam” in the same ep.
1:42 - 1:48 is such an effective way to communicate (no pun intended) “talking in a language I don’t speak”

I love, so much, how you overcame the challenging aspects
I’m extra impressed with the sequences you created from 2:02 on, how you increase the intensity both in pace and theme, bringing it to a fitting end. Love, love, love all the clips for "nothing's really making any sense at all...." and the 2:34 - 2:36 knife scenes looked exceptionally effective.

It's a wonderful vid, hun; one of my absolute favs of yours Good luck in the challenge!

Barb: Hee! Thanks hun for the awesome comment!!
, this is going to be a tough challenge!

Sarah: Squeeeeee!! Thanks for the wonderful feedback hun!! I'm glad the ending won you around to the way the vid began

Kirsty: Hun, thank you so much for all the support and great clip suggestions and wonderful squeeeee (all of it) and the terrific chant of "Chris Martin will not defeat us!" that you gave me throughout this!! I'm kinda surprised that your not sick of this vid And then to top it off with even more squeeful feedback.... your awesome hun!!

Crystal: Thanks so much hun!! Sorry I made you sad, but I'm right there with you. I was yelling that at the boys all season!! I'll wait patiently for your feedback.

That was so brilliantly done, Toni!!

This song is PERFECT for the brothers in S4 and you really made the most of it! I absolutely loved your lyrical interpretation and how clearly and seamlessly you alternated POVs (while each line could've easily applied to each brother). The editing/beat use was awesome. I especially loved 2:03 with Sam/road/Dean. So pretty (and also metaphorical on how both of them are on an endless road without direction/guidance.)

Great work, hon!

Ok, how'd I miss this?

Thanks so much Maria!!

I'd never done a duo!view vid before so I'm really stoked to hear that it was clear. Thanks hun!!

I tried some new things (for me ) on the beatuse. I'm so glad you loved Sam/road/Dean because I really loved how that turned out too!! Thanks for all the wonderful feedback
