An awesome dark study of Peter and Claire's relationship (it
works both shippy and 'non shippy' so that's also very cool )the
damage & pain they feel (Claire may heal physically but there
are other scars) but a connection grows between them through the
visions/paintings and then they are there for each other. You
have some great parallels between the characters - the running
Great pacing to this and you use the music beautifully - the
piano notes as the clock ticks and as Claire falls back. I love
the abrupt cuts too at 1.35 & 1.54 very effective. Along with
such great use of overlays, zooms and reverse footage it really
reveals a subtle but skilled hand. Excellent vid.
Does Cameron Dream of Electric Sheep. - Kiki_Miserychic
Best Video, Best Character, Best Music Use, Editing RU,
Action RU
You continue to amaze me with very distinctive pieces, squeezing
every ounce out of the music and this is no exception. Great
choice of song with a slightly uneven feel to the tempo matched
with the rather disjointed yet superbly edited clips. It just
makes me love the whole mechanical feel and it's all a little
unnatural & jerky just like Cameron and the other Terminators.
Excellent use of effects and time toggle giving it that sense of
the world around her being absorbed and analyzed as data at
superhuman speed. Interesting use of the slower passage of music
at the end and that exquisite Ballet scene. Another Excellent
vid.
Take Me to The Hospital - Thandie
Best Video RU, Best Effects, Best Action, Editing HM
Excellent use of effects and overlays to create a real creepy
mood to your vid. It is good to see overlays and colour used so
effectively without that feel of information 'overload' that can
occur.
You always use the internal motion in your clips well and it is
evident in this vid too, without it becoming too repetitive by
hitting every single beat. I especially liked the blood spray at
around 1.49 and the flash image of the ghost at 2.01. Altogether
an action packed violencefest SPN style. Makes you wonder how
Dean and Sam made it through to season Four!.
Run by Brighette
Judges Choice , Best Drama, Best Narrative RU
A highly charged, emotional vid that uses the music and poignant
lyric matches to great effect .Simple cross fades add to the
mood rather than distracting. You've successfully summed up the
mood of show and the relationship between Dean and Sam. Lovely
vid.
Patchwork by Artanis
Judges Choice, Best Overview, Ensemble RU
Interesting vid based all around the parallels in the
slayerverse. Cleverly constructed it envelopes you in a huge
wave of nostalgia for the shows still sorely missed (by me...) I
particularly enjoyed the hand montage, Spike and jewelry & rings
and the neat ending with the final wave from Buffy. A real
treat of a trip down memory lane, thank you.
