Revenge will surely come

Greatly satisfying to watch.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it, thank you!

Oh wow!!! This is amazing! You've distilled everything I love about her into one kickass video. Excellent editing! I loved the movement.

[such_heights]

Thanks so much, I'm delighted you liked it!

Very interesting song to do a vid to! I liked all the sudden gun shots going with the tempo move up and all the moments of 'discovery' and wonder coming with the piano solo at the end. Very interesting, definitely a different kind of vid but I liked it

[such_heights]

Hurray, thank you! Muse always make me think of Whoverse, with their tendency for epic space rock.

Eee, you are really a genius at these things, and your taste in music is impeccable! I love the bit with the guns at around 4:00--it goes with the music so perfectly.

[such_heights]

♥ Thanks very much! Muse ftw, naturally. :D And haha, yeah, I was kind of excited when those shots magically aligned themselves.

You did a marvellous job with this. The musicality in particular is really impressive.

[such_heights]

I'm so glad you liked it, thank you very much indeed!

Wow. Absolutely gorgeous vid.

[such_heights]

Thanks so much!

This is extremely beautiful - the instrumental bit at the end is just inspired.

[such_heights]

I'm so chuffed you liked it, thank you very much!

belated edit I know, but wow I shouldn't be allowed near a keyboard at 3am, clearly

[space-cadet.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, that was amazing.

You've made me actually want to watch Torchwood.

[such_heights]

Thank you very much! :D And I am all in favour of that notion obviously - despite its crazy fandom and so on, it is Good Telly, honest!

I feel a bit lame in admitting this, but that actually made me a bit teary-eyed. I just love Gwen a lot, and this vid sums up why in a completely awesome way. Well done!

[such_heights]

Not lame at all, I'm delighted you enjoyed this! I heart Gwen very much.

Why haven't I left a comment here already?! *spanks self* I of course LOVED IT. The song is so viddable and you used it sooo precisely. And the cutting is great as well. Gwen needs more vids, man. Thanks for showing the

haters

[such_heights]

I'm so pleased you enjoyed it, thank you! Fandom needs so much more Gwen.

[tearful-eye.livejournal.com]

oh, so wonderful!
i'm not the greatest gwen fan ever, but things like this always make me wonder why not ;) it's such a great, awesome kick ass vid!

[such_heights]

Yay Gwen! I'm so pleased to hear you enjoyed her in this, thank you very much. :D

[la-dissonance.livejournal.com]

You? Are damn good at making videos, lady. Guh. And I agree, Gwen is the awesomecakes.

[such_heights]

Thank you so much! Yay for Gwen.

[voleuse.livejournal.com]

♥ This is awesome!

[such_heights]

I'm glad you enjoyed it, thank you!

I just saw this at VVC and liked it a lot--a friend and I were talking about how the fact that there were a lot of shots focused on Gwen's face, thinking and processing and reacting, created a real sense of space throughout the vid. Really well paced.

[such_heights]

Thank you, and thanks for letting me know you enjoyed it! (I am working on feedbacking all the vids, but omg so many.)

[promethia_tenk]

There can literally never be enough Gwen love in this world <3 This whole thing was awesome but especially the dreamy piano part at the end, the surrealism of it.

[such_heights]

Thanks so much! GWENNNN. I love her so much.
