Wow Ais, that was so heartbreaking and beautiful. What a lovely video! I love the angst! And beautiful song! I've never heard it before but it was gorgeous and perfect for the vid!

Wonderful work, Ais. ♥

*sniff*

Wow, that was...

*sniff sniff*

Aw, man, you did it. You broke my little shipper heart. I cried when he faded away at the end. Oh, Nine! *more sniffing*

The song is so perfect! I LOVED the bit where they're looking at the window and seeing their happy moments. And the one with the Tardis too, with all the pretty colors. And you got my favorite line in there! Squee!



Now I'm terribly curious which nine seconds were giving you trouble. And where the green made you crazy. It all looked perfect to me! Absolutely gorgeous. Downloading, of course. :)

Oh, Ais! *wibbles* This turned out really great. SO heartbreaking. I miss Nine, too :(

[dazzlebug.livejournal.com]

Oh, Ais! This video... gah, I'm crying over here! It's just BEAUTIFUL. Your subtle use of effects, your clip choices... wow. Words can't describe how much I love this video *is off to watch again*

[ageless-aislynn.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you so much, KC! I'd seen the song used for other fandoms and done quite a few times for DW unfortunately o_O BUT not just for Nine and Rose ;) so I went ahead and did my own version. It just seemed to lend itself to the really angsty and practically canon (yes, me, practically vidding canon, can you believe it? ;) ) story I wanted to tell. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you so much! ♥!

[ageless-aislynn.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you, Gabs! *hugs* ♥!

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Aw I did enjoy it very much! It's so excellent! I'm so glad to see you push through your block and get it finished as well. That's always so rewarding! And look at what you did! You made that! *points* Look how pretty!

[betgirl.livejournal.com]

Wow Ais! I know nothing about Dr. Who, but the video is absolutely beautiful and heartbreaking. You did a great job. That song was perfect. Btw, which song is it? I couldn't read it at the end...

*hugs* ♥♥♥

*glee* Okay, so it sounds mean to have *glee* when you've made somebody sniffle but in this case it means that I got the angst level up to UBER like I was hoping to! ;) (And that bit over the credits where he faded away? That was the part I did I was so happy about the other day. ;) That was hard to do with a "moving target," let me tell you, lol! ;) It's not perfect but it was as close as I could get with the cookie cutter tool! ;) )

ZOMG, I love that banner!!! I've been looking around for a DW sig banner! Is that something shareable? *bats eyelashes innocently* And do you have more? Have I missed a DW graphics post??? O_O

Now I'm terribly curious which nine seconds were giving you trouble. And where the green made you crazy. It all looked perfect to me! Absolutely gorgeous. Downloading, of course. :)

It was from 3 minutes to 3:09, the final section before we rejoin the Doctor's message. ;) You know, only the most important part to tie up the story! O_O But Trey ended up giving me some good advice via PM and I actually went back and scavenged that section of them in the crowd from much earlier in the vid. I completely re-edited it, pulled out the section from 2:47 - 3 minutes and completely redid that. And yay, they all fit back together! (It breaks your heart when you have the perfect clip for a line and it's too short to connect with the next clip... Ahhhh! :( ;) )

The Super Section of Green O_O was at 1:50 - 1:57 and I removed it in place of the spinning TARDIS footage, which I stumbled upon by accident while looking for something else! ;) I tried everything in the world I could possibly do to save Sarah Jane and Rose from their incredibly blue-green fate at 2:09 - 2:12 but alas, they had to stay that lovely shade of aquamarine! O_O ;)

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for your lovely comment! *hugs!* ♥♥♥!!!

[ageless-aislynn.livejournal.com]

Awwww, thank you so much, hon! *smishes you* I literally got this idea after thinking, "Man, I miss Nine and I just need to somehow vid that..." ;) Sorry, though, to be giving you such a saaaad vid right now! I'm seriously contemplating a dark!Nine vid next... O_O How does a tale of madness and obsession sound? (Sounds to me like it's probably too ambitious for my own good, lol! ;) We'll see! ;) And it also sounds...not that happy, either! O_O *sound of Ais's pep talk crashing into a wall* ;) )

*smishes you some more* ;) ♥♥♥!!!

(And that bit over the credits where he faded away? That was the part I did I was so happy about the other day. ;) That was hard to do with a "moving target," let me tell you, lol! ;)

I can imagine!! I was so amazed by that! You explained to me before how you did those kinds of shots, but I still don't understand it very well. It's just wonderful magic! :) Magic that makes me all weepy. ;)

It sounds like all your trouble spots worked out incredibly well. The spinning Tardis bit is gorgeous and the crowd scene is heartbreaking... She looks so lost there. *sniff* It feels very final and sad.

Yes, the banner is definitely shareable! And no, sorry, I don't have any more. :( I made that one to use on GeekSquee but then I decided I just had to have a Bubbly banner. :) As much as I love DW I haven't had any inclination to make graphics because there are SO many awesome DW icons out there already I don't feel like I have anything to add.

[ageless-aislynn.livejournal.com]

Awwwww, thank you, hon! *smishes* I really was hoping to have a specific look and tone with this one, a little slower than my usual (though I tried to keep my beloved beat use, lol! ;) ), just kinda soft and sad. (And, uhhhhhhhhh... yay for making people sad? O_O ;) )

Thank you so much for all your kind words! (And I love that icon, lol! ;) ) *hugs!* ♥♥♥!!!

[cylune9.livejournal.com]

Oh that was so beautiful!! And sad... I loved the effects - so well done and they really enhanced the sadness of nine leaving Rose. (I'm going to be an expert about this show even before watching!!). And I loved your 'flash' transitions. (This is something I rarely manage to do properly) And the audio part added power and were flawless. Really a beautiful and emotional video!

My favorite part was the when they were walking together on the sidewalk and then suddenly she's all alone. sniff. Great job!!!!!

[ageless-aislynn.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank so much, hon, for watching this without knowing the show! *hugs!* I always really appreciate that! And I'm glad that the story still came across without you having to be familiar with the fandom! :D

I know, the credits were ridiculously small at the end, weren't they? ;) I kept shrinking them so they wouldn't cover that fade I'd worked so hard on, lol! ;) Anyway, the song is "Almost Lover" by A Fine Frenzy. ;)

Thanks again! :D ♥♥♥!!!

[baffledking.livejournal.com]

This was amazing. I cried.

[ageless-aislynn.livejournal.com]

*gasp* Oh, look at that gorgeous Han Solo icon!!! ♥! Ahem, sorry, that just caught my eye, lol! ;)

(I'm going to be an expert about this show even before watching!!).

It's so funny how that can happen sometimes! I would've never watched Firefly if I hadn't seen a bunch of vids for it first!

And the audio part added power and were flawless. Really a beautiful and emotional video!

Thank you SO much for saying that about the audio! I don't use it very often but this one really felt like it needed it to me. I was hoping it would be clear and understandable and not be a distraction, so I'm totally tickled for you to say that! ;)

That end part on the sidewalk was the part that was giving me so much trouble (it was the dreaded unfinished nine seconds, lol! ;) ) so I'm really thrilled to hear that it worked for you! It finally did fall into place, yay! ;)

Thanks for the wonderful comment! *hugs!* ♥!

[ageless-aislynn.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you so much! I really appreciate that! ♥

[ageless-aislynn.livejournal.com]

And look at what you did! You made that! *points* Look how pretty!

*is grinning SO hugely it's sad* ;) Thank yooooooooooo! :D ♥!

Okay, I am not a Rose/Doctor shipper, so just remember that this is coming from One Who Doesn't Particularly Feel That Way.

That said...

That was gorgeous. The effects -- particularly the repeated scenes with Rose and the Doctor turning into just Rose by herself -- were brilliantly used. The song was perfectly matched to the story you were telling and, and, and *flail*. Just utterly beautiful and I'm at a loss for words.

[matsujo9.livejournal.com]

I'm not a shipper, but this is a beautiful vid. Thank you for sharing it.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I'm here on fandom_me's rec and WOW and just HOLY COW. incredible. *flails* just incredible

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Oh, this is so gorgeous and just amazing. Sometimes I don't like it when people put the sound clips in, but it worked beautifully here. This made me sniffle! ::hugs Nine and Rose::

[ageless-aislynn.livejournal.com]

*eee!* Thank you so much, hon! I really appreciate you giving it a watch, first of all, 'cause I know that, like you said, You Don't Particularly Feel That Way. ;) I'm soooo glad that it still worked for you anyway! Granted, I don't think I can make a vid that's not at least a little bit shippy ;) but I felt like the focus on this one was more on loss than on zomgilovenineandrose! ( <-- Though that is also trufax. *nods* ;) )

Thanks again for that wonderful comment! *hugs!* ♥!

[ageless-aislynn.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for the lovely comment! I'm really excited to hear that it works for people who don't particularly ship Nine/Rose! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! ♥!
