Oh, my poor, cancelled, uncommercial shows *HUGS*

I love it!

[halcyon-shift.livejournal.com]

Thank you! *pets poor cancelled shows*

[laurashapiro.livejournal.com]

[halcyon-shift.livejournal.com]

Heeeee, thank you!

This is such a fantastic vid. The good shows do die young.

[halcyon-shift.livejournal.com]

THank you :) They really do. I'm still in mourning for some of those. Woe

[giglet.livejournal.com]

Oysterband! Thank you.

That was completely brilliant. I love how well you made the transitions between shows.

[halcyon-shift.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[delibby.livejournal.com]

OMG!!!! I was sitting hear listing those shows out loud as I recognized them. I didn't know them all, but I knew a bunch of them. Firefly! Oh how I love you. Veritas. My poor sweet murdered Veritas. O5! Brisco! Profit (creepiest damn show ever!)

*sigh* Damn you networks!

Thank you, this was really, really fabulous. Thank you.

[halcyon-shift.livejournal.com]

Hee, the roll call, it is epic. Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[sdwolfpup.livejournal.com]

That was spectacular. I love the message, of course, and especially the way you managed to connect them all. The movement in this was astounding, as was the use of River's world-in-a-rubber-ball metaphor.

[halcyon-shift.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[talitha78.livejournal.com]

Wow! Your source list blew me away. Amazing work.

[halcyon-shift.livejournal.com]

*g* thanks!

[cathexys.livejournal.com]

This was gorgeous! I'm not sure if I'm sader about the shows I loved and lost or the ones I never got a change to know.

Thank you!!!

[halcyon-shift.livejournal.com]

I know, it's totally a coin toss on which is worse. Although making the vid introduced me to some new shows, which was cool *g*

And thank you! I'm glad you liked it :)

Earth 2! Odyssey5! ::mourns::

So. Awesome.

That was great!

[halcyon-shift.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure I can textually render my love for this! :D

I mean, the concept is just *fabulous*, but, man, even if I had no clue what you were doing conceptually I'd be captivated by the visual connections you made between the sources. And River's ball running through it all is genius. Just. YAY. And *WOW*. :}

(American Gothic! Eee!)

[halcyon-shift.livejournal.com]

Heee, thank you! River is rapidly becoming the little black dress of my extended crazy metaphors o_0

[giandujakiss.livejournal.com]

I just rewatched for the zillionth time ... it's so wonderful - and how you did those transitions leaves me breathless every single time. Thank you again!!

[halcyon-shift.livejournal.com]

Hee, so glad you like it!

[cannellfan.livejournal.com]

Sweet! And here I thought I was one of the only ones to archives all these small fandoms...there were only four in there that I don't have in my own collection.

Very nicely done!

[halcyon-shift.livejournal.com]

I have a lot of small fandoms archived, but I think giandujakiss had me beat. There needs to be a small fandom protection society.

It's after sweeps, do you know where your fandom is?

[wolfling]

Okay, this vid gave me so much happy squee! Firefly! Earth 2! Miracles! The Crow Stairway to Heaven! VR5!! Alien Nation! Roar!! Babylon 5 Crusade! Once a Thief!

So very many little Eeee! Someone else watched and loved that show! moments.

Man, the number of short lived shows I've been a fan of... It's no wonder I'm so wary of falling too hard for anything new.

But seeing them all together like this, it makes me smile. :D

[halcyon-shift.livejournal.com]

*lol* Yeah, it does kinda make you realise how many shows have been cancelled out from under you. And not get attached to anything. Ever. o_0

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[acari.livejournal.com]

Your vid brought me much joy. So many shows I still miss. I loved the way you edited the different sources together, there was never a dull moment.

Thank you!

[halcyon-shift.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Hello!

Is the video no longer available? I don't see a download link in the page.

[halcyon-shift.livejournal.com]

Hi, the link is the little zip icon - or you can just rightclicksave (http://www.alter-idem.com/dl.php?video=26) there and it will work :)

[katie-m.livejournal.com]

Aww! Sniff. I love it. Beautifully edited, to--the flow was wonderful, none of that lurching feeling of transition that multifandom vids can be subject to.

[halcyon-shift.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[barkley.livejournal.com]

Awwww, shows! I knew and loved a bunch. And I am also a little (OK, a whole freaking lot) in awe of your editing and how you zoomed from one show to the next and in new and different and yet still seamless ways. That was breathtaking.

[halcyon-shift.livejournal.com]

Heee, thank you very much!

[some-stars.livejournal.com]

i REALLY loved this, despite only having seen a couple of the shows in the list. although now it makes me want to hunt them all down... *sigh* such a lovely bittersweet ode to tv fandom.

[halcyon-shift.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)

[counteragent.livejournal.com]

The transitions in this were beyond amazing! I am going to have to watch it a lot more to catch teh brilliance.

Wonderful!

[halcyon-shift.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! :)

[jonesandashes.livejournal.com]

Yay! This is just lovely. *huggles dearly departed shows*

[halcyon-shift.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)

[xenacryst.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow! Words sort of fail me now, but... Well, reactions...

Ah, Firefly, how I loved you... Earth 2, hey I remember you! Space: Above and Beyond, it would have been so interesting... The Prisoner! Galen! Original BSG! And on and on and so many other shows that I never had the chance to see... And such a perfect song for them all.

Maybe it's time to sing along.

[halcyon-shift.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[ariadne83]

Ohhh, Earth2! Antonio Sabato Jr!

[ariadne83]

It just gets better and better. My poor shows - Brimstone had such potential

[tearful-eye.livejournal.com]

i thought i'd commented on this already, huh... strange.

anyway, i just thought i'd mention how comepletely made of win this is! :D it's one of my favorite multi fandom vids - the way you combined the sources is so great & really beautiful. i don't know most of these shows, but i adore tihs nontheless.

[halcyon-shift.livejournal.com]

Hee, thank you very much!
