Thank you so much! You are fantastic.

Oh, hey -- I think that there's something wrong with the zip file -- it's only coming out at less than two MBs. Thanks.

[par-avion.livejournal.com]

Fixed! I deleted it and re-uploaded. It is 36-ish MB now. Same name/link as before.

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Thanks muchly.

Holy *shit* this was awesome. Just. *flails*

I *love* what you've done with the colors. The saturation and the filters and the way it snaps at the very end--awesome. And beginning the vid with Dean cleaning his guns is just *perfect* and again AWESOME and EEEEE DEAN.

Er, sorry. Um. Clearly my attempt at coherence didn't last very long. Suffice to say, this vid is AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME and I love seeing this side of Dean. Yeee. (Also, those titles are just spiffy.)

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

Wow, I'm really glad that you liked it that much (Yay, Dean! He's great.). Thank you so much. I'm happy that the filters and switching worked for you. Yay.

Ooooh. That is just gorgeous. And the song is a perfect match. Thanks for sharing this!

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'm glad that you enjoyed it. It's a beautiful show!

For some reason, the Divx version is downloading as a 1.7 MB file, which is kind of different than a 38 MB file. I definitely clicked in the right place, and the link is definitely right. Am I doing something else wrong?

*easily confused*

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

No, it's not you. When I went to double-check it just now, it did the same thing to me. Hmm.

I do have the yousendit link for the vid, which should still be working:

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

That's done it. Thanks!

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Welcome. I hope you like it!

Ohh, nice vid. I always love it when action shots match the lyrics or the beat of the song, so I loved the fire toward the end.

Do you happen to have the song in mp3? I really liked it.

Thank you! I was really glad that the timing on those worked out.

Do you happen to have the song in mp3? I really liked it.

I actually have the song in wma (I have no idea why and I'm not even entirely sure where I got it -- it's one of those mystery songs where I had to look up the artist so I could credit them on the vid, because I just didn't know). I could still send it to you if you wanted, but I don't know how to convert it to mp3.

[krabbypatty.livejournal.com]

Wma is fine. This is actually the second vid I've heard the song used in (BSG the other), and it really worked well with both. thanks.

You're welcome (and thank you).

[krabbypatty.livejournal.com]

Yay! I got it thanks.

Dude. This vid is SO good. How did I miss it? I'm on a quest to get vids for the SPN party at VVC right now, and I found a rec to this, and thought, "Wait, Butterfly did a SPN vid?!" *g*

Really, really, really good. I love the use of color, and the editing is fantastic, and I'm going back to watch it now and hopefully coherent thoughts will form in time for me to gush at you in person. *g*

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Incidentally, do you remember who recced it? I'm always curious about that stuff.

Again, thank you. I really enjoyed making the vid, playing around with the color. Supernatural has such a gorgeous look, all silvers and desaturation, and it really works so well for the show, and I was really able to take advantage of it in the vid.

Love the opening with the matching effects and titles. Awesome clip choices and pacing. The effects throughout the vid are great, as are the filters and the various saturations. Cool college effect around 2:15 over the car.

That was fun to do.

Thank you. I'm thrilled everything worked for you. It's probably my most effects-laden vid, so I'm really happy that it looks good.

[visionofblue]

Came here because I was recently recced this vid. Which, by the way, I am incredibly grateful for because I loved it! I'm not good with coherent vid fb, because I am new and don't know the lexicon, but you did a great job capturing Dean, with a fitting song choice.

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm thrilled that you liked the vid (out of curiosity, who recced it to you?). I really adore Dean and I'm glad that you feel I captured him.

[visionofblue]

(out of curiosity, who recced it to you?)

I hadn't seen any Supernatural vids (even though the show itself had me since the very beginning), so I begged for good SPN vids in a post on my LJ, and tenillypo recced me this one. (As well as What's it feel like to be a ghost by astartexx, which is also made of awesome.)

really adore Dean

I'm a Dean girl myself. Sam is slowly starting to win over my affections, though, especially this season. *g*

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Sam has been spectacular this season! Really a joy to watch.

[elz.livejournal.com]

Ooooooooh. I stumbled across this randomly (I hadn't seen the show when you first posted it), and I really, really love it. Great lyrics for Dean, and the color effects are really neat.

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Thanks! This song was totally screaming to be a Dean song the first time that I listened to it after watching the show (and, wow, does this show swallow people up whole, or what?).

I really glad you loved the vid. Yay!

[elz.livejournal.com]

There's actually a BSG vid to that song (which is very well done), but I think I like it a little better for Supernatural. It's a little more visceral, a little more personal, and that IS Dean: shooting monsters in the head so that children (and Sam) can sleep safe at night.

And Supernatural is quickly becoming The Show That Ate Fandom. I feel bad for folks who aren't into it.

Indeed. I love that about him so much. He's just such a protector personality. I'm fond of those.

And Supernatural is quickly becoming The Show That Ate Fandom. I feel bad for folks who aren't into it.

It really has. But those seem to develop every couple of years (SGA seemed to eat fandom two years ago), so maybe the next one will appeal to the people who don't like SPN.

Firstly, my apologies if this isn't the first time I've left you this comment. I'm looking for SPN vidders and following links for recommended vids :)

Just wondering if you'd be interested in being listed as an editor on The Imapala (http://the-impala.co.uk/), a new Supernatural vidding archive which _gater_ and I have set up to run alongside our existing Stargate vidding archive Kawoosh! (http://www.kawoosh.co.uk/)?

If you would, you can submit your vid HERE (http://the-impala.co.uk/submit/).

We also have an LJ comm running alongside the site if you're interested: impala_kaz2y5

Thanks :)
