WAAAAAAAHH!!!
*shakes you hard* You made me cry!!! It was like reading the series for the first time--it was like finding SV fic the first time!

You made me remember how shiny and new it all was and how much I loved it. *sniff* All the possibilities....

Beautiful!

Oh my god! I have tears in my eyes. Tears! That was really great and is definitely the show as it should have been. Very well done.

That was absolutely incredible! The Identical Series is one of the first SV fanfics I remember reading and I adore it. I have a lump in my throat at the visuals and the music you've combined into a wonderful representation of the series. *wipes away tears* Thank you for sharing!

Wow!! This totally blows me away!

[digitalwave]

This is wonderful, sweetie! Have you shown it to Lanning yet? I know it will make her day. :)

[dossier.livejournal.com]

dude, that is so completely *awesome*. The music is perfect, and Ben Kingsley--you've blended the the disparate scenes together so seamlessly. I have so much love for that story, and you've done Lanning proud!

[mskatej.livejournal.com]

Wow. *speechless*

Your vids are the most amazing I've ever seen; I'm in awe of you. This was so brilliant and clever and it's absolutely perfect for the story.

Wow the trailer is amazing! Wonderful job!

[myownghost.livejournal.com]

it was wonderful seeing eli come to life and interact with martha. what a beautiful job of recreating the story with these clips! i think it's time for a reread. :)

That's gorgeous and amazing and so very, very cool :) *uses appropriate icon*

Wow -- that was utterly fabulous. Such a great selection of clips from the show (and awfully convenient of SV to offer us "Onyx," which you've used to brilliant effect here), and you've done a fantastic job pairing those clips (and Ben Kingsley!) with Lanning's dialogue. The "Identical" series was what made me fall head over heels in love with SV fandom and what it could do, and this was like the best of both worlds: the brilliance of Lanning's narrative, and the compelling images from the show itself. Perfect!

That was gorgeous. I especially love the end bit about semi-automatics.

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

Oh, that was wonderful! What a fabulous trailer. I really loved the music--so sweeping!

[geneli4.livejournal.com]

oh my god, this is WONDERFUL!!! i teared up watching it, and flailed about, and honestly, it's so so good! thanks so much for sharing it with us!

Dude. You are SO AWESOME. That trailer made me want to watch the show again! Ben Kingsley as Eli rocks my socks.

You've always been great at timing in your vids, and you do it again in this one. And I gotta say I'm proud of myself, too, for figuring out why your last vid was choppy. *cough* I was playing it in quicktime instead of Windows Media Player. *headdesk*

Keep making vids, sweetie. You're so good at it.

[garryowen.livejournal.com]

Also, did you do some sort of snowglobe thing with the clex hug? I liked that. Seriously, the editing in this is so seamless.

I'm baaaack!

[garryowen.livejournal.com]

Haha. I can't stop commenting!

Just rewatched Gethsemane in Windows Media Player. Duh, what a difference. It was good even in Quicktime, but now it is breathtaking. What an amazing vid. Gosh. You know what I like? I like how uncompromising you are with Clark. There's no romance or sentimentality. You tell it like it is and really get inside his head. Plus, from a technical perspective, the vid is flawless.

hey Paula,
I was back here to look for your vid "white wedding" to dl and rewatch it, and thought, I made a tiny suggestion: have you thought about making this entry a sticky post at your LJ ?
like, futuredating it with something like 2010 or so, then I would stay at the top of your LJ , and whoever enters to your LJ, will see it as the first thing :)
like an index with all your fics, for easy find!

Identical

yo~ army_rat and I were just watching this, and he swore that one of the preseason ads for SV is almost identical *snerk* to the first half of your vid. He was actually quite shocked at the similarity. I haven't seen it, maybe it's that the the images are so iconic that he's just got that sense of de ja vu but the clincher was the subtitle texts, they were too similar to be coincidence. I'm more of a mind that it's all deeply part of the Clark/Lex mythos, but I dunno. Have you seen anything like that? did you get a sense of hey, that's my vid?

I'm heartbroken that I appear to be 6 years too late. Do you still have a copy of this video uploaded somewhere? *puppy eyes*
