This vid has been a long time coming. Thank you: [info]marishna for the beautiful song; lachrymalblue for kindness, strength, and sincerity; and [info]tinyblondeone, who I communicate with better than anyone I've ever met in my entire life. I don't know what I'd be without you, ZJ, and I hope I never find out. I love you.

[info]kitkatbyte: I don't think you know how much you mean to me, Wen. I don't deserve your patience or your kindness. Thank you for everything you've done for me this past year. :x

You need the DivX codec to watch. You can get it for free at www.divx.com.

Communication by The Cardigans 23 MB

Hope everyone had a wonderful New Year's, and I hope you enjoy the vid!

Oh Aida, you know how much I love this vid !!! I literally cried when I first saw the whole thing. I always thought that the breakup was a huge misunderstanding due to a lack of communication, and so this vid really gets to me. It's been really fun, I hope you will let me take a peek at your next project!

I have so much love, you have no idea. This vid is never leaving my computer. I'm SO GLAD you love the song as much as I do and this came as a result.

There are no other words but love. For you, for this vid, for everyone!

Okay, too much love. You and the vid.

Thank you!

I was hoping that I would do the song justice, and that you would like it.

I finally got to see the finished version! Aww...so sad, Aida. It's a different Brian angle than I normally think of. And the vid is heartbreaking and edited beautifully. My favorite parts were the 205 computer scene with the Justin disappearing to the background, the 211/216/217 Justin jump continuation, the 220 push during "it's not a thread" and the 219 on-the-floor thing during "that's what you get". Pretty.

So, so sad :( And yay for a new vid!

I think I love you.

So many people make awesome vids. And they're stunning, and they're technically amazing, and this vid is all of that.

But it feels like something more. In all of your vids I feel this complete *connection* between the mood of the song, the way the music is being played or the words being sung, and the clips you choose. You find swooping camera movements for held chords, you fade things when the music does, every word has this perfect visual and it reaches right into my chest and clutches at my heart, and god that sounds corny but it's absolutely true. This is one of those vids that I'll watch repeatedly, damn near daily, and be awed at every time.

Aw, go on... Really. Go on. I'm a very fragile individual.

Wow, this is wonderful feedback. I'm not quite sure how to respond! Thank you very much. I love when people can point out the things they picked up on and they they liked. It makes all the work I put into the vid that much more worth it. Thanks, Liz!

Ugh, I suck at giving feedback on vids because I'm just not familiar with all the technical stuff and all the tricks you use. That said, I LOVE THIS VID!!! The song is PERFECT (and I'm trying to convince [info]marishna to send me a copy at this very moment), and you explored a totally different angle to the whole breakup arc than what we usually see, with focusing a bit more on Brian and his view to the whole thing. I could be totally off though...

Anyway, THANK YOU SO MUCH for creating and posting this! I love the emotion and everything you manage to express in your vids, and I can't wait for the next one!

Actually, you're right on target! I'm greatly inspired by Wendy's fabulous "Stay" vid, which explored Justin's feelings of the breakup, but I hadn't come across many, if any at all, that dealt with Brian's POV.

You are wonderful, thanks for the lovely comment! >:D<

Oh, wow. So great, and I love the effects with the B/W vs. color to show the disconnection and such. Very moving and very right for this song, which is beautiful. I have a lot of love for this vid :D

Hi,
I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your video. I've seen tons of QAF videos but this one has become my all time favourite. I loved the clips that you used to represent the emotions felt in the song. It was just so beautiful. The song was just perfect to show Brian's feelings. I really liked how you made those certain clips black/white, it was a great effect.
Anyways, keep up the great work. All your videos are breathtaking.
<333

Aw, thank you so much! You're so sweet. I worked this vid so that it would resonate strong emotion with its viewers, and I'm glad that it did that with you. I totally appreciate you letting me know what you thought.

Oh that was just FABULOUS! Wow. So beautiful and sad and...man, now I just wanna give Brian a hug! lol. I think my favorite part of that was the black and white of Brian sitting at his desk thinking of those 'memories' with Justin. OH, my poor boy.
*pets Brian*

*sniff* That was SO awesome. And the song... so perfect. Guh! Great editing. I especially love when you make it look like someone has disappeared... lol. I don't even know how to explain it. I'm very curious as to which program(s) you use. I've tried WMM, Roxio Videowave, and even Vegas but I'm still not satisfied.

Oh, and also, sorry to be such a pest, but where did you get the episodes? Did you decode them yourself, or downloaded them from somewhere? I decoded all the episodes but the aspect ratio is off, so I'm looking for alternatives.

Thank you! I'm glad you liked the vid.:))

I've always used Adobe Premiere 6.5. I only fiddled around with WMM, and I've never heard of the other programs you mentioned. Premiere is wonderful, and not hard to learn.

By "decoded", do you mean decrypted? Cause that's what I did. I decrypted/ripped the episodes from my DVD's, and then I used VirtualDub (a great tool) to size them to a 512x384 ratio and then clip.

If you need a particular clip, just let me know and I can see if I have it. If I do, I'd be happy to send it along! Sorry this is short, but I'm headed out the door. Any other questions, just ask!

You're welcome. I'll be checking out your other vids soon.

Yes, I've heard a lot about Premiere. But it's so expensive! Well, there are these sites that sell the OEM versions for like, $90.00 bucks or something, but I don't trust those too-good-to-be-true deals. I've seen it on Ebay and have been really tempted to buy. We'll see... :)

By "decoded", do you mean decrypted? Cause that's what I did. I decrypted/ripped the episodes from my DVD's, and then I used VirtualDub (a great tool) to size them to a 512x384 ratio and then clip.

Yes, that's what I mean. LOL. I'm not good with tech talk. ;) I guess I'm going to have to do it all over again. It was dumb of me to not check the aspect ratio when I decrypted them the first time around.

If you need a particular clip, just let me know and I can see if I have it. If I do, I'd be happy to send it along!

Thanks so much for the offer! If I only needed a couple of clips I'd take you up on it but I need a LOT.

Sorry this is short, but I'm headed out the door. Any other questions, just ask!

Aw, don't apologize. I understand. It was really so nice of you to answer, especially since you don't know me. :)

Thanks again!
