newbie here, hello everyone!
this is the first vid i actually finished and i would be most grateful for any comments (especially constructive criticism) that anyone can give me. i know it's an obscure fandom and a large file, but please give it a chance? i think i succeeded in getting the mood of the story and the song right, but i'm not sure about some transitions (*hate* WMM!) and i really want to learn and get better. plus, some scenes in the vid are to die for :)

link to vid: ex-factor (yousendit.com link)
fandom: ordinary miracle (russian fairytale movie from the 70s)
music: ex-factor by lauryn hill
genre: m/m slash, constructed reality, angst-o-rama
pairing(s): main pairing is bear/magician, secondary is bear/princess ("bear" is a man, i'm not *that* kinky!!)
why i made this vid: the UST between the bear and the magician in the movie SCREAMED to me. if you'll watch the vid, you'll find it hard to believe they're not actually lovers in the movie itself. i wanted to see if i could re-tell the original story, so i gave vidding a shot. i haven't finished the first vid i started (to sinead's jealousy), but i managed to finish this, and i think it turned out alright (more or less).
the gist of it: you love him. he's wild, crazy. this love is tearing both of you apart. you have to make him let go, but can *you* let go?
program used: windows movie maker 2.0 (very basic, i don't have access to anything fancier, i'm afraid)
technical details: WMV, 22.6MB
