Sadly, the quality of the YouTube version came out mightily sucktacular. :( *cries* Why did you have to do that to my beautiful .AVI-based footage, YouTube? Why?

Either way, if you watch, hope you enjoy! :D ;) ♥!

heee! DONNA! This turned out so cute, Ais!!!

I love the clips of her smacking him ;)

lmao good dividends *giggles like a schoolgirl*

[ageless-aislynn.livejournal.com]

Eeeee! Thanks so much, hon! *squishes you* Heh, I couldn't resist Donna's "good dividends," lol! ;) (Personally, I don't think Ten could, either... :P ;) ) I'm glad you liked the little "smack-down" there! I was happy with how it turned out. This one was just so much fun to make! (Except for a few moments of ZOMG!VID!EMO! but you know how I am, if I don't have at least one big moment of ZOMG!VID!EMO, then I don't really feel like I've vidded... :P ;) )

Thanks again! *hugs!* ♥!

That vid, much like Donna herself, is made of SO MUCH FABULOUS AWESOMENESS we need new words for it. Totally downloading this!

[ageless-aislynn.livejournal.com]

*squee!* Thank you so much! I'm always so tickled whenever one of my vids is liked enough to be downloaded! :D And I so agree about Donna's fabulous awesomeness! She's just amazing! I really wanted to do my fangirl love for her justice, so I hope that came across. :D Thanks again! ♥!

Coooool!!! I couldn't think of a better use for that song! Nice work.

[readerjane]

Tnat was fun! Thanks for posting.

[ageless-aislynn.livejournal.com]

Thank you for watching and commenting! :D Very much appreciated! ♥!

[sadbhyl.livejournal.com]

Okay, going to have to hate you now. I'd been noodling this exact same video myself, but you did a great job with it before I could even start! Very nice work!

[ageless-aislynn.livejournal.com]

Aw, I know just what that's like when that happens! :( So sorry 'bout that! I hope you'll still do your version. I just took part in a thing where several vidders purposely used the same song for the same character, just to see all of the different interpretations that come about. ;) Everybody puts their own stamp on their vids anyway, after all! ;) ♥!

[namuras777.livejournal.com]

Fabulous!

[ageless-aislynn.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! ♥!

[chantal87.livejournal.com]

That was so much fun.
I really enjoyed it.

[ageless-aislynn.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! And hee, what a great icon! ;) ♥!

[hollywoodgrrl.livejournal.com]

This is INCREDIBLE! I was giggling like a schoolgirl while watching this. So good! And your editing was fun and the timing was great which made it work all the more. I'm def saving a copy for future lulz. :)

[ageless-aislynn.livejournal.com]

Eeeee! Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! *clappy hands* I had such fun putting this together, Donna = WIN, after all! ;) It just makes me so happy to know that you enjoyed it as well! Thanks again! ♥!

[maypanic.livejournal.com]

Hee! Best vid I've seen in quite a while.

[ageless-aislynn.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you so much! That's really kind of you to say! *blush* You totally made my day! :D ♥!

[pluckyyounggirl.livejournal.com]

Yeeeee! It's here! And it's so pretty!! *jumps up and down excitedly*

I really liked that! Such a good pick for a song, too - Cake is awesome, and it works so well for Donna: "I want a girl who is fast, and thorough, and fast as a tack." That she is. I love the scenes you chose the first time the line comes up - brilliant. Not as brilliant as the compilation of her hitting the Doctor around 1:30 - BWAH! Made of so much win.

Also liked the way you paced the bits in the Adipose cubicles, and the "changing her name" bits near the end. Plus, Donna's good dividends - BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, Ais, your mind lives in the gutter sometimes, doesn't it? (And I mean that in the most affectionate way possible.♥)

Absolutely lovely ending! Perfect timing with the shoulder sling. DoctorDonna is LOVE.

Thank you for bringing the cheer - I really needed that! ♥

PS: I've finally had an idea for a Donna vid, too. Yay!

[ageless-aislynn.livejournal.com]

*squee!* I'm so glad that you liked it! I heard this song and the first thing I thought was, "Darn, there's a vid in here somewhere, I can just feel it..." and when it got to the line about loaning her his pen, I immediately thought of that scene in 4x06, so I started it over again to see if it was a Donna vid I was hearing... and I totally got all *flappy hands* when I realized how much of it SO fit Donna! [/end life story] ;)

Plus, Donna's good dividends - BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, Ais, your mind lives in the gutter sometimes, doesn't it? (And I mean that in the most affectionate way possible.♥)

Heeeeeee! That was one of those complete accidents where I'd cut the clip and slid it down the timeline for possible use somewhere...then saw it with the music and just had to run with it there! LOL! ;) (A reverse repeat of the clip came as a last minute inspiration. *blush* Well, she DOES have excellent dividends, doesn't she? :D *more blushing* ;) )

Anyway, thank you so much! I appreciate all of the kind words so much! And *huge cheer* for finding a Donna vid idea at last! Hopefully it'll make you as happy as making mine did for me! Can't wait to see it! *hugs!* ♥!

[jellyfrog.livejournal.com]

Aw, what a fun vid!!! I love Donna already! :)

[ageless-aislynn.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks so much for watching it, hon! I'm sorry it's all spoilery for all of s4 for you, though. :( I've got your fingers crossed that you'll be able to see s4 soon! I've just totally loved Donna herself as well as Donna and Ten together! I wish they could go on having one mad-cap adventure after another together for a long, long time! Thanks again! ♥!

[jemmalynette.livejournal.com]

Ais, this was wonderful! So cute! I loved the lyric intepretation, definitely :D Especially the last bit "and a long jacket" when the doctor put his jacket around her, and then they walked off together! Very sweet! :) Lovely work! :D

[ageless-aislynn.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, hon! That ended up being one of my fav parts where he put his jacket around her, then they walk off at the end, too, so I was really happy to see you mention it! :D

I really appreciate you watching and commenting! *squishes you* Thanks again! :D ♥!

[leviathan101.livejournal.com]

Aww that was sweet, Ais! Nice work!

[ageless-aislynn.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed! ♥!

[humansrsuperior.livejournal.com]

LMAO! OMG this is fantastic! Utterly fantastic! I adored every second of it. SUCH clever lyric matches, and I loved all those fun zooms you did. :D This is really utterly made of so much win I don't even know how to express it, but I'm totally keeping this and it's going on my Zune, yay!!! ^_^

[ageless-aislynn.livejournal.com]

*squee!* It's being Zuned? (Apparently "Zuned" is moonlighting as a word these days -- and a verb, no less... :P ;) ) That's so awesome! *happy dances* I really just so appreciate all your kind words!

This was one of those ones I made just out of pure love and it's made me so happy to get such fantastic responses like this! Thank you so much! ♥!

[selenak.livejournal.com]

A fabulous vid for a fabulous woman!

[ageless-aislynn.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you! And I totally agree that she's a fabulous woman! ♥!

[turquoisetumult.livejournal.com]

First off, I LOVE this song, so it was pleasure to hear it used in a vid!

Hee, this was fun! I LOOOOOVE some of your lyrical use (I'm sure I'd love more of it if I knew the show!) I really adore the "good dividends" and "fingernails that shine like justice and a voice that is dark like tinted glass" and "meeting accidentally/start to talk when she borrows my pen" and "trading her MG for a white Cryslar LaBaron" and "shoes that cut and eyes that burn like cigarettes." This is just such a fun song and you really emphasized that with the vid and clips! LOVE IT!

And your beat use was great! Nicely paced and I really loved it when you used the clip itself to set the pace (like at 1:21 with Ten and Donna popping up. HEE!) And I really like the zoom-ins/arounds you did with the "long" portions! I never figured out how to do it!

AND, finally, I adore how you edited the song! You did it VERY seamlessly. If I hadn't heard the song a billion times beforehand, I would've believed this was the original. Nicely manipulated by the brilliant Aislynn! :D

Great job, hon! ♥

[ageless-aislynn.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you SO MUCH for going to the trouble of all that detail! *squishes you* I'm so glad that I hit upon a song that you enjoy so much and that you felt I did it justice! ;) And thank you a ton for the lovely mention of my audio editing! ♥! I love the full-length song but it ends up having a bit over a minute of just pure instrumental through there and I didn't want to end up just padding it out with filler so I cut it down. I also had to shorten that first pause in the music (at :40 in the vid) because it was about 2 seconds long in the original and that was interminable when vidded! It made it feel like something had crashed and the vid had stopped, lol! ;) Anyway, I'm totally proud that you found it seamless! (Audio editing is one of those rare beasts where, if you do it well, nobody ever NOTICES! :P ;) )

Thanks also for the lyric use shout-outs! I had fun doing a bit of a mix of literal and non-literal interpretation (at least, that was what I was going for anyway! ;) ) but some of the lines were just SO perfect I interpreted them pretty straight-up. ;)

Since you don't know the footage, I'll point out (and pat myself on the back *sheepish face* ;) ) that the very last shot at the 1:21 section when they both stand up together was a manip. I just had to give Veronica her props for her cookie-cuttering there, lol! ;) (You know how teh evol muse gets if she doesn't thinks she's getting her props! O_O *ducks lightning bolt* ;) )

Again, thank you SOOOOOOO very much not only for watching this but for taking the time to write up such an awesome review! *more smishes* ♥!

[tearful-eye.livejournal.com]

aw, this such a cute & fun vid - *squishes lovely vid*

[ageless-aislynn.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks so much! *vid loves being squished* ;) So glad you enjoyed! Thanks again! ♥!

[ageless-aislynn.livejournal.com]

Oh, I love being rec'ed, thank you! ♥! I actually just joined doctor_donna the other day and whatever D/D things I come up with next I'm planning on posting there! :D

Anyway, thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the vid! She is, indeed, completely brilliant, isn't she? :D ♥!

[copracat]
