what a great vid! Your editing really helped to bring some freshness to the precious few M/K scenes we have over the years. And this is the first vid I've ever seen utilize that brief scene from The Truth. Thanks so much for sharing this with us!

I'm really glad that the editing worked for you. I was quite worried about how the editing would look, thought it might be too stilted. Thanks so much for your comments.

Please, Please, can we hope to see more M/K vidding from you in the future? ::makes big, hopeful puppy eyes::

If I find another song, I don't see why not. Maybe something less rushed next time.

wow. this is actually really good. Its not one of those "look! the images match the song!" videos, which becomes sort of tiring after your 10th vid or so. I couldnt quite put my finger on it, but the song has such a strong beat that it feels like its somehow in sync with the images.

I also really liked that this wasn't linear narrative. The jumping between several parts of the same scene was a nice change and helped the age old "we only have so many M/K scenes to work with" dilemma.

The strongest part that really sold me was the last couple of seconds. Very strong vid editing by reversing the kiss scene and slowing it down a bit.

wow. I really need to stop watching VH1. I'm nitpicking the crap out of everything :-D

Its not one of those "look! the images match the song!" videos,
I am so glad that you didn't think so, because I worried it was heading that direction at times. I love the beat of the song, but it ended up being quite hard to work with, so I'm glad it worked for you.

I also worried that it was too linear, so I'm glad you didn't think so.

The funny thing about the end is that it was an accident. I just threw that scene in there by chance and it ended up working perfectly.

Thanks so much for the comments, especially the nitpicking, it's what I need.

I'm completely in love with this. I admit that I was prepared to enjoy this before I started watching, simply because of the subject, and I wasn't disappointed. The editing rocked, and I liked how you intercut scenes. Overall, an excellent vid.

I'm really glad that you liked the editing. I was worried about that. Thanks so much for the comments.

your M/K vid

THANK YOU from an M/K slash maniac! Give us MORE! I great job, and we appreciate it especially in the dry spell of M/K vids, after the show is over.

I'm very glad that you liked it. Thanks for the comments.

Wow, that was a fantastic vid! Incredibly well done! Though I confess, it left me upset. I guess it's just hard for me these days to see all the violence between M and K, how things spiraled out of control, when I *know* how different things could've been for them. Sigh. Still, it was excellent, and I hope we'll be seeing more M/K from you!

[luciamad.livejournal.com]

Yeah, as I was making it I kept thinking about the violence. I'd forgotten how fucked-up their relationship is. But that's kind of why I love them. I'm very glad you liked the vid. Thanks so much for the comments.

Thank you very much for this vid.
I think the choice of song was perfect for lyrics and beat, and I think you made the most of the (sigh) little Krycek we had in the show. I also liked the pacing of the video, cutting and editing were never boring or repetitive.

I hope you'll do more :)

[luciamad.livejournal.com]

It was weird going back to find clips for this because in memory there's a lot more Krycek than the 20 or so episodes we actually got. I'm really glad you liked the pacing, I kept worrying about that. Thanks so much for the comments.

thank you

Wow! This was amazing and refreshing! And from someone who hasn't done anything in XF or M/K for that matter... you did an incredible job!

Thanks so much for sharing!

I was a little nervous putting this out there in such an established fandom so I'm really glad that you liked it. Thanks so much for the comments.

THANK YOU!

[ex-alearose304.livejournal.com]

I have chills after watching this! Incredible!! Thank you so much for creating something new for those who are diehard M/K fans. And while I cannot give you technical praise like others have here ;) I can tell you that I know what I like. Incredible song too! Wow! I'm practically speechless!

You have your own little cult following now! Feed us more! Please!! ;)

Re: THANK YOU!

[luciamad.livejournal.com]

Wow, chills. Don't think I've ever done that before. Glad it wasn't too technical. That song is quite the thing, isn't it? Thanks so much for the comments.
