Why this must be watched:
This video is delightful to watch, brilliant editing and great choice of clips. It takes us on a wacky journey through what our boys have had to endure throughout the series. There's a catchy song which is always a must for a fanvid (having made several myself I know you HAVE to like the song since you'll be listening to it several hundred times as you edit :S), plus I love the clever use of mixing different shots where one of the boys is falling or twirling a weapon. Dang, wish I'd thought of that! Having said that, there are loads of my favourite clips here, so I can't really complain :P

Well edited, catchy song, great clips. I spotted some slashy type clips, but then again I always do. All in all, a great video. Now stop listening to me rant and watch it! :-)

EEEEEEEEEEEEEE
*happy dance*
*faint*

I GOT RECCEDDDD hurrr

*raises hands* This is my lj account =D

ahem.
Thank you very much! Really honoured :D

And yes, you do need to like the song when vidding. I remeber I did this over a 5 day period and by the second day I was like "Boy, am I ever going to hate this song by the end of it..." and yet, I still like listening to it. Although, I remember one time trying to make a Dr Who vid to a Chris Brown song... wull, that end in tears >.<

I spotted some slashy type clips...
Your eyes weren't deceiving you; "my my my how the time does fly when you know you're gonna die by the end of the night" and Napoleon checks Illya out in that Girls of Narazone clip, in their bedroom? Pft, yeah, not suss at all xD I wanted it to be subtle so that those just wanting a light-hearted vid, got just that.

I do regret not having Napoleon wooing a woman to the lyric "a bullet-proof vest"-- me being all symbolic and all.. I only thought of it after I uploaded. Ah well.

Again, I thank you, and I shall salute you. After all, your vids were what prompted me into watching MFU for the first time.

This is a delight. I especially loved the parts where a fall/jump starts with one clip and seamlessly ends with another. It makes the eye happy.

So looking forward to your finishing "Piano".
