I really liked this. It reminded me of how heroic, youthful, and joyful Rose is. Recently, I'd been thinking more about The Doctor, what with the switch to the Tenth. But this really brought my focus back to Rose, who is such a wonderful companion.

(It's sad that my only Rose icon doesn't really fit the mood of this post. But I'll use it anyway.)

Thank you! I'm really, really fond of Rose and I just wanted to celebrate her a bit. I agree completely that she's a fantastic companion.

Eek! I have guests and was offline all day. I'll upload this when I get home from work tonight.

No worries. Thanks in advance.

I really liked this.

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm really glad that you liked it.

This is lovely! I like this encapsulation of Rose--the clips you've chosen highlight how joyful and impetuous she is. And the song is perfect. Thanks for sharing!

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Those really are the qualities of Rose that caught my attention right away. She's full of life and she's so adventurous.

I loved this. I only caught the first third of the series and now I wish I'd followed it more closely. You really capture Rose's abiity to light up her world and the people around her and exploit the energy and brio of the song to great effect. Fantastic!

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

If you get another chance to watch the series, I'd recommend it. I really loved the first series, especially the character of Rose.

She's a lovely character, and RTD does the same thing with her that Joss does with his characters -- her greatest strength (heart and loyalty, in her case) runs hand-in-hand with her greatest weakness.

This was recced by dualbunny on the_reel I had to stop by and check it out, this is so adorable!

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm so glad that you liked it (and, yay, I was recced!). I love Rose -- she's so sweet.

I really liked this, particularly the choice of song. It played with self-referentially with Rose's role in the series without being the cliche 'happy pop song to horrible things happening on screen' cliche (or the even more cliche 'angsty Sarah McLachlan song as significant looks are exchanged on screen'.

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I've always loved this song, the winking and nudging aspect of it seemed to fit so well with how Rose can come across and her youth and her smile.

Also, I find the Sarah McLachlan part of your comment to be a little bit amusing (not in a bad way) because, well, I've done that (http://butterfly.livejournal.com/1091282.html). If it's cliche and angsty with significant looks, I do not know, but it's definitely Sarah McLachlan.

[tavella.livejournal.com]

Oh, I love me some Sarah McLachlan, and I love me some angsty videos, but it *is* a bit of a cliche. Even though some of them can be brilliant. I'll have to check yours out after wrok!

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Oh, I love me some Sarah McLachlan, and I love me some angsty videos, but it *is* a bit of a cliche.

*laughs*

Well, yes, that's true, really. Everyone and their dog must make an angsty SM vid at some point. I think it might be a rule.

Let me know if you like it (actually, feel free to let me know if you don't like it)!

[maiaj.livejournal.com]

Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed this video (and Into the Fire as well). I've recced both on my lj here (http://maiaj.livejournal.com/208521.html?mode=reply)!

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed the vids.

[spiletta42.livejournal.com]

I knew I'd love this vid, and I did. I finally watched the whole of season one, and all in one sitting at that. Rose Tyler is every bit as fantastic as I'd been told. Love the character, love the song, and as always I'm very impressed with your vidding talent.

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm thrilled that you liked the vid.

And, yes, Rose is fantastic. I completely and totally adore her.

[counteragent.livejournal.com]

So much fun! I'm rewatching again right now--can't possibly resist Doc and Jack and Mickey as the bakup dancers! Rose, you go, girl!

[counteragent.livejournal.com]

Sorry for double comment--just had to comment on my very favorite parts
1:17 Jack as STYLIST! HA!
2:31 That Bad Wolf shot always gives me goosebumps. Of course--what other title would her hit song have? :)
2:43 The NOSE SCRUNCH!!! Soooo full of cute and sass.
