Vinceeeeeent! ;____; This was lovely. I feel like I need to watch it multiple times to tease it's secrets out, but it has at least reminded me how much I loved that episode and this show. ♥

It's fucking perfect. Just perfect. Makes my heart hurt in all the right ways.

Thank you! I'm so happy you made this!

[fannishnonsense]

OMG, YAY! I'll definitely be downloading this when I get home from work! *bounces excitedly*

[renenet]

Yay! \o/ You posted!!!

Oh, HONEY! You captured everything I completely love about this episode so wonderfully! I'm going to be watching this one sooooo much.

I never posted about Who for ... well many reasons actually ... but this episode hit me hard and deeply. I loved so much about its portrayal of mental illness and depression and particularly the fact that they showed that it can't be easily understood or fixed, that it results in an actual different experience of of life. And of course that there can be beauty in the madness. Oh, Vincent!

I am sure we all have our personal relationship with him as an artist but my own was that stumbling on Sunflowers in London in the National Gallery at 18, I understood for the first time that visual art could transfix someone. (Hey, I was an Aussie kid, we're not that cultured!)

The two moments I actually love most in this vid are at 0.54 (Eleven's expression after 'nothing ever does') followed soon after by the sunflowers on the coffin (gorgeous metaphor). Amy breathes life into the sunflowers (and Vincent) briefly, but they shine brighter for their juxtaposition with the haunted imagery.

Thank you SO MUCH for making this! Now I don't have to. :)

OH ALL OF THEMMMMMM. ♥

You just made me tear up in a coffee shop, but I valiantly managed not to actually cry. I love this--it so encapsulates the episode and evokes all the different secrets and troubles they're all carrying.

And I'm thrilled to see you resuming the Eleventy project! I was really looking forward to Collecting the Whole Set. :)

Eeee! This is truly lovely and a perfect response to a fantastic episode. <3

This is fucking astonishing. What a song choice. I need to watch it again and again, after I have a good cry.

I really loved this vid. I loved how skillfully you wove their three POV's together. I really really really loved Vincent's part and how completely you made it his POV - when really there is not a lot of the source that actually is his POV. Vincent was seen through Amy and the Doctor's (and, by proxy, the audience's) eyes mostly. It takes real skill to shift a narrative that doesn't explicitly include a certain POV and use that POV nonetheless.

*hugs vid and you*

Hey, I sent you an email via lj a week ago - did it work? If not, email me: mresundance @ gmail dot com when you have a minute. I assume it will take you awhile to get settled in once you get in Colorado. The autumn has been beautiful so far though. The leaves and grass are just beginning to amber but the air is still warm and drowsy like summer.

[monanotlisa]

Oh, yay! So glad you are vidding again. :) *download*

[voleuse]

This is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing it.

[sol_se]

This is wonderful! Vincent was such a great character. I love how you've captured this episode.

[sisabet]

It's like he has 99 problems or something...

[chaila]

This is gorgeous, just perfectly bittersweet.

[ghostgum]

This is... really, really beautiful. And captures so much about what I loved in that episode. Thank you. ♥

[srevans]

What a lovely meditation on the episode-- there's a great balance between "things go wrong today" and the quiet, beautiful moments the characters share with each other. It's about adding to their piles of good things.

This has been one of mine today; thank you.

[tearful-eye.livejournal.com]

oh, how beautiful <3
that was probably my favorite episode of the season & you really did it justice. i liked this so much! *sniffles*

[greenapple]

I enjoyed this.

[usuallyhats]

Really beautiful, and so moving: I loved this.

[milly]

This episode is one of my favorite DW episode ever, even though it thoroughly breaks my hear every single time I watch it and... wow, did you do it justice with this vid <3

I just saw this video for the first time at Fanworks today, and it hit me unexpectedly hard, as things like this sometimes do. It reminded me of someone I lost, actually, and I had a good cathartic cry over it. Even though watching it for the first time was a little painful, it was also beautiful and moving and it made me think of what the Doctor said about piles of good things and bad things and how all we can do is contribute to the good things in people's lives and focus on how they made our lives better too, even if losing them is hard... anyway. It's a beautiful episode. And it's a beautiful vid, with a wonderful song choice and lovely editing. And I'm adding it to my pile of good things. I've watched it twice more since then and I'm sure I'll watch it many more times yet (when I have the emotional energy)
