Thank you!

I like this a lot! The way the beats work is lovely, and you actually make Torchwood seem like it has a coherent thematic arc.

Heh. The arc was almost there in the source, it just needed a little ... finessing. I'm glad you liked the vid!

A good vid, and portrayal of the Torchwood gang in their messed-up ness. All the juxtapositions work for me - for some reason the ones that remained with me most were the clip of Susie kissing Gwen's forehead and the hospital scene from Combat when Jack pays Owen a visit. And the song lyrics are amazingly apt!

It was one of those vid ideas that just jumped on me almost as soon as I heard the song - I made most of the rough draft in January last year while on holiday, although it's taken me this long to polish it up and release it. Glad you liked it!

Loved it! Very awesome use of clip choice to music.

Thank you!

Wow, this is an utterly fantastic vid. There isn't a clip out of place, and I love how you matched the clips to the lyrics. It makes Torchwood look good. Awesome. Will totally be reccing this.

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I found the first season of Torchwood frustratingly inconsistent, so part of the reason I made the vid was to distill the things I did like about it into vid form.

Fantastic! <3

[andraste]

Glad you liked!

I think I am going to tie you to something and make you watch at least the first episode of the new season, as I have found it much improved over the last one.

Oh I adored this! Need to watch it many many times but I love the clip choice and the song interpretation (and I've loved that song since I first heard it) and just... it's making me flail in a very good way. :D

Thank you! I'm delighted that you enjoyed it, and it's one of my favourite Tom McRae songs.

Finally, a vid that captures the essence of Torchwood! These people are screwed up, and finding some very screwed up ways to cope with it. I love your vid.

Thank you! That was exactly what I was going for, so I'm delighted that it came across.

Ooooooooooooooh...

Glad you liked it *g*.

I just caught this at the BitchinParty vidshow. It was really well done. The idea that love will inevitably to either betrayal or loss, is so fundamental to the series, but I haven't seen many vids showcase it. Great job (in a dark and delicious way).

Thank you! I had lost track of the con dates and and completely forgotten that it was screening this very weekend.

It was fun to make, in a dark and depressing way *g*. Luckily I have been inspired by Season Two to work on a more cheerful Torchwood vid.

What an amazing vid! Just wanted to say thanks for taking the time and effort to make it.

[fodian.livejournal.com]

Beautifully done. Thank you so much for this.

[andraste]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Hi? Are your TW (and other) vids still available for download/viewing somewhere?

They are now - I'm afraid they all vanished from the internet for a while so old links to them will be broken, but everything I've released is now available here.
