Love the vid. I'm not really a fan of Good Charlotte in general, but the song definately suited the tone.

I've only just today watched the pilot episode and I was wondering how I would feel about the actor change as while I only really loved george (not that I had any problems with the actors playing Annie and Mitchell, I just think that since I knew they wouldn't be staying on I couldn't get emotionally invested.) I loved the chemistry between the three.

So I am glad judging by your video to see that the chemistry seems to remain tight. Although I'll have to wait to watch to see if just how similar it is, so thanks.

Thank you!

I really do think that the chemistry is really good between the new characters. There's a different flavour, but still a sense of people pulling together in the face of very tough lives.

I've finally caught up, and it is different. Lighter in some ways (the first Mitchell with George had a very intense and sometimes sexual edge to it where as there seems to be more of a almost romantic edge to it now, almost like the difference between the Ninth Doctor and the Tenth Doctor's relatonship with Rose) any yet somehow more bonded with each other.

And I have to say, while I didn't mind the first Annie and Mitchell, now instead of just wanting to cuddle George I just want to hug and take care of them all!

That was lovely.
This series is great isn't it?
Though I don't recognise some of the clips ... Maybe because I only watched them once each.

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Thanks! And, yeah, it's such a great series. I'm looking forward to the new episode today so much.

Ok....Now you have to explain to me the premise of this show

Darn you.

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Hee. Annie (ghost), Mitchell (vampire), and George (werewolf) are roommates. It's a BBC drama series and it's really good. If you go to my being human tag (http://butterfly.livejournal.com/tag/being+human), you should get all the information you require.

Darn you. now I have to watch it. DARN YOU!

[thunderemerald.livejournal.com]

This is really, really lovely. :)

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

the dl link won't work for me :(
...is that just my computer being mean?

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Will this one (http://www.paravio.net/vids/Wounded.divx.zip) work for you?

[tearful-eye.livejournal.com]

yay, it works now! (the one above too, strangeness)

& what a wonderful vid. i haven't actually seen the show yet, but this made to watch it even more. your vids are always so packed with emotions, i really love that - & i especially like how you focus on all three characters individually at first & then bring them all together... so pretty.

For the want of a capital letter, as it turns out (*shakes fist at computer*).

Thank you so much! I'm so glad that the emotions and the theme and journey of the vid worked for you.

I would definitely recommend the show -- it's brilliant and it's only gotten better.

Wonderful. This really captures the warmth between the characters and reminds me of everything I love about the series. I saved this one to definitely watch again.

I'm a little (a lot)) concerned that we'll see the depth of the friendship sidelined during the last arc of the season. I hope that's just my paranoia, breed of series constantly ruining the things I love most about them.

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I really have been adoring the show.

I'm also hoping that the friendship gets as much attention as it deserves in the last two episodes.

[belenustenebrae.livejournal.com]

This was heartbreaking. <3
Haven't seen the series, but it made me want to know more.

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much.

If you get a chance to watch the show, I would highly recommend it. The writing and acting are both extremely excellent.

[sol-se.livejournal.com]

Aw, this is WONDERFUL! I love this. Their friendship makes me so happy, and you captured it beautifully. ♥

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm so glad that you enjoyed. The George/Mitchell/Annie friendship makes me so happy.

[unlovablehands.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for making and posting this. I really enjoyed it.

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the feedback (sorry about the slow response!). I'm so glad that you enjoyed the vid.

oh, this was really lovely! it's just how I feel about the three of them, that they're each utterly lost without the other two. I was really interested in your use of the Annie/Owen scenes, which is the one plotline in the show that I really dislike - I thought that vidding the thing about Owen's shirt to "I wanted a magazine" was really clever and simple and effective (oh Annie!), but then I wasn't quite sure how you were using the bit about the beer bottle, or the Annie/non-George-werewolf almost-kiss . . . anyway, I'm sure I just ought to watch it another couple of times. For the most part, though, it made me go, awwwww! and want to smish them all in a giant pile. so, well done. :)

[jemzamia.livejournal.com]

Absolutely perfect!

[fiercynn.livejournal.com]

This is wonderful! I've been waiting for someone to vid Being Human and I love that this is the first that I've seen. Not only do you show all their pain and issues in remarkably parallel ways, but their friendship seeps out through the edges, which is of course entirely needed for this show. Yay!

Okay, I'm catching up very belatedly, having only just discovered Being Human -- I just wanted to say that this is lovely, and encapsulates so much of the appeal of the show.
