THAT was REALly fu#c%ing cool !
Pardon my American.
Well done. Amazing usage of what could have been mundane footage if not for the context.
WOOT, I say.
I can't believe I just "wooted".

@B.N.E, you give me too much credit, and Thank You. Honestly, this video does not justify the images I was trying to project and I sit here wanting to redo it over. There is just so much more I am trying to convey that driving in the mountains does not seem fill the mold. =)

@Marie, Thank you. =)

I like this one, especially the slow flicker and the shots that run backwards. Feels like a dream or watching a drama through a small crack in the wall. Go ahead and do it over if you want to, Lima. I've started posting half-finished vids and half-baked experiments. I finally figured out that in a community of creators works in progress are completely welcome.

Thanks Geoff, more than likely I will continue to work on it on the sidelines and see what comes of it. I hold back much so half baked is usually what you get. =)

Nice job, Lima. This is very dreamlike and melancholy. I've never heard this cover by the Postal Service before. Your backwards footage makes me realize that while the narrator is saying "Take a look at me now," they are actually fixed on how they used to be when.

WOW, that is weirdly alluring. Great music and visual. 5*

Excellent. Like the pulsing brightness effect a sort of heartbeat.

@Nature, Thank you, Yes, I guess we all fix on the past at one time or another.
@Pyper, Thank you. =)
@DITW, Thank you. =)
