ooh, this is a fantastic vid and very Sheppard! (now, if only I can get the right clip to kick off my Straylight Run vid for Sheppard...)

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I was just listening to music and went... hey, this totally makes me think of Sheppard. I'm really glad that it works, in general.

[almightychrissy.livejournal.com]

I know this comment is, oh, five months old, but I have to ask-- if you ever got that Straylight Run video done, where might one find it at?

[therisingmoon.livejournal.com]

heh, haven't even started it. didn't have the time to.

[almightychrissy.livejournal.com]

Worth a shot ;)

[monanotlisa.livejournal.com]

Oh, man. Posts like this make me cry and wish for DSL soon and not in a million years...

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

I wish that you had it, too. Because Sheppard should be shared, man (I love that icon, btw).

[thepouncer.livejournal.com]

He's one of my favorite characters ever, and this is just *him*. I loved it.

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I was actually thinking of you, in particular, when I made it. Because this is the Sheppard that I always think of when I read your posts. You've definitely helped formed my view of him.

Sheppard! I liked this a lot. I also like the way you moved from clip to clip, how in some sections it was more...um. Dissolvey? Blendy? (:facepalms:)

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Hee, yes, I know what you mean (I still get inarticulate and hand-wavy when it comes to many vidding terms, so, yes). This was a fun song to vid, because it's active and yet has these very distinct parts.

John! I love him! Yay.

It's uploading now, will be same format as always [...nothing.mpg.zip] when done.

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Thank you, thank you. And yeah, John's pretty lovable. He's a very interesting guy.

[krabbypatty.livejournal.com]

Oh, nice vid hun.

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Thank you, sweetie.

I'm in the first blush of SGA fandom so I'm already completely asquee, but I wanted to share my really incoherent, utter joy with you. This vid and two others have been on infinite loop either on my laptop or in my head for pretty much every waking hour for the past week.

Everything about it makes me happy. The music grabs me and won't let me go, and the visuals just appear in my head on their own now when I hear the music.

Thank you so much.

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you, that's just really cool to read. Especially this: 'the visuals just appear in my head on their own now when I hear the music.' Which makes me blush, just a little. It's very nice to know that.

Thank you (and you're welcome).

Both of the links have expired - could you upload it again? The larger one would be lovely.

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. This link should work: http://www.paravio.net/vids/Nothing.mpg.zip

Thank you for being interested in the vid!

[elayna88.livejournal.com]

That was a cool vid! I could watch John Sheppard all day. Thank you for making it and uploading it again.

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

No problem at all. I'm thrilled that you liked it. Thank you!

Oh, this was interesting. It took me a while to figure out what it is about this vid that I like, but I think it's the mood you create with the music. It's such a contrast to the light mood that the show often has. Very capturing. And it makes me think about John, and what makes him go on, how he looks at life after the things that happen to him in the Pegasus galaxy. Very nice, I enjoyed it a lot. Thank you for sharing!

(I downloaded it ages ago, btw, but I rarely have time to watch vids. Now I wonder how many good ones I have missed already. They must be somewhere on my harddrive... *searches*)

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.

And yeah, I wanted to make a vid about the John that killed all those Genii soldiers, the one that hides behind the part of John that smiles and dorks around. He's got some darkness inside.

[logovo.livejournal.com]

You have no idea how much I love this vid. Oh yes, I'm squeeing :)

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm so glad that you like it. John! I really should have just a 'John' icon, especially with the Stargates starting up again next month. Hmm.

But, yes, thank you!

[almightychrissy.livejournal.com]

This video (as well as "Fear" and "Scarborough Fair") is utterly beautiful. Your notes made it more so. Thank you for sharing.

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Oh, my god. My reply to your comment is so late. You have my deepest apologies.

Thank you for the feedback! I'm really thrilled to know that you liked the vid and I'm glad that the vidder notes were illuminating. Thank you.
