Oh, wow. I'm a bit speechless. And yeah, I think I've managed to recover about half of everything (although I've spent most of these last two days alternately cursing my own name and going "AAGH DAMMIT that flower is withering two frames off the beat, I can HEAR it." Mostly as an excuse to avoid the fact that I have three storylines I could be fitting into my second verse, and room for two, and the one that's essentially a footnote to the actual plot is the only one that involves any actual shots of my POV character... is this why vidders drink?
-- but oh. Oh. Oh, breakthrough. I'm not telling the story ABOUT CASS, I'm letting Cass tell the story about her family. Oh, okay, I KNEW that, I just didn't know it.)
And that vid is stunning. Wow. And yes, I definitely see what you mean about the first verse -- it's definitely about Mal but River is there, watching, and he's kind of included in her consciousness. I'm not sure I can do precisely the same thing here, because so much of the verse is about him isolating himself from her, but in this latest draft I'm trying bracketing it with shots of her, like quotation marks, and we'll see how that works, I suppose?
