Type of feedback preferred: Any and all, particularly constructive criticism. I'd love to know what parts worked for you and what parts didn't.

I think this is a GREAT AU vid. Your beat use was really well done, especially in the heavy drum sections. Your ghosting effects were really nice in a few places and I think your clip choices held the story together well!

AMAZING!! Great use and selection of clips. Editing and effects were great as well. Great storytelling and great job!!!

Oh, Awesome!

AU's are always so much fun to watch. I loved that you used outside source for the clips (The Grudge) - this made the video feel so fresh and new. I liked the part 0:51 "Turn my world upside down" where you transition her a few times looking around - I thought that was neat. The part where she is looking at photos and you show still pics was nice. Buffy searching through the computer was very good. The crossover between buffy looking through a book, and then a flashback clip to buffy w/ angel opening that same book was awesome. Angel overlay in the mirror at 3:08 - loved that!

All in all, this was a wonderful AU video. I could definitely feel buffy's pain. I think you did such a great job putting this together. Fantastic work!

Crystal - Thanks tons! After this vid I realised how much I love making AU vids I was actually considering a sequel.. maybe.. I wish I had Vegas back when I made this vid - I think I could've done better with the beat use, but now I'm too lazy to change it! lol

SpikesPet - Thank you! I appreciate all the feedback!

Winterevanesce - Thank you so much for the detailed feedback! I remember thinking while watching The Grudge, when Sarah opened the scary journal "Hey!! That looks like the book of poems Angel gave Buffy!" and then this vid was born! It's a sad day when things I see in my everyday life (and movies) remind me of Buffy.. sad, and scary

Hello,

Loved your video! It was very nicely done. I really liked the way used other footage besides Buffy/Angel
