Actually, I was hovering over my F-list for THIS exact post!

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

Hee! Well, I have a hunch you maybe knew which vid it was gonna be. ;D

[deathisyourart.livejournal.com]

Awwwwwww, this vid is so sweet! And you managed to get through the whole thing without using the one clip that would play on a loop in my head whenever I would listen to the song. :D

I really love how you constructed the story for this; I never realized just HOW well the song would work for them. Lady you are just too good!

Well, I have a hunch you maybe knew which vid it was gonna be.
ummmm, ya, I kinda did!

Ok, now you have to fess up to the clip! :D The one I always assumed would be in there but just didn't stick (though it did make it to the timeline) was him on the bike out of town.

It was fun to make something a little sweeter. It's sort of like the child of the other two Spuffy vids I made. A little more adult than Sorry, but not quite as bleak as One Last Time, hee.

I gotta say though, at the halfway mark I was about ready to beg someone else to finish it for me. I really wanted to watch the rest of it, but trying to decide which choice to make anymore was overwhelming. There are a ton of possible vids in this song. Some probably better than others, but still. ;D Plus who knows what vid this would have been if I'd had time for a beta.

And I'm still tickled you gave me so many fun ideas to play with. Can you tell from the fact that I've done three of them now and other people haven't had their one done yet? ;} ::is kinda shameless::

And I'm still tickled you gave me so many fun ideas to play with.
I HAD to give them to you... otherwise they would never get done! Although that Dick Casablancas idea is calling to me in a big way, but I want to see where this season goes with him first.

Now I feel all bad for those who have yet to get their vid... okay, I'm done! :P I get over guilt very quickly when it comes to vids!

The clip I was referring to was the one where Spike is going through Buffy's dresser and smells her sweater. It would repeat in my head over and over when this song would play on the radio, and is what made me designate it a Spuffy song.

Also, I don't know how anyone can successfully beta your work! After the experience I had with you on God Is A DJ, I think that the process goes something like this: You show the beta a vid and they say "FABULOUS!", and then you take it back, change things, and show it to them again... and they say "FABULOUS!". You repeat these same steps a few times, and then you release the vid.

Although that Dick Casablancas idea is calling to me in a big way, but I want to see where this season goes with him first.

I was thinking the same thing--about this season, I mean. Well, and also that the idea rocks. I will make sure to leave that till last. ;D And to bug you to make it. 'Cause I would *love* to see it.

As soon as I replied to the other comment, I went, "Oh, the sweater! She means the sweater!" Hee. I actually tried to smush that somewhere other than on that lyric just for fun, but there is no stripping the goofy off that clip. In fact, I think that whole scene through twice even with no sound because the sniffing cracks me up so much.

Also, I don't know how anyone can successfully beta your work!

LOL--it's not *that* hard. God Is A DJ was just such a cool idea that there were plenty of shades of fabulous to go around. ;}

*viewing number 5*

Favorite moments:
0:00 - 0:03 The billiard balls hitting and sinking to the keyboard notes - what a neat way to start things off. It made me smile right away!
0:22/0:39 - The parallel with Buffy's front door and how you used it.
0:52 - Spike reaching out for Buffy and helping her up. ALL the old Spuffy love came rushing back in that moment!
2:21 - Spike's hand coming into view... awwwww!
2:22 - Did Buffy just bounce to the tambourine?
2:29 - 2:31 Buffy turning Spike around and throwing him to the sound of the keyboard.

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

Awww, timestamps! ::squishes you::

And yes--I think she *is* bouncing to the tambourine, hee!

[zanthinegirl.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous! Very nicely done too. Spike looked exceptionally pretty on the big version!

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

Thank you--and now you see the reason behind the big version! ;D

[missus-grace.livejournal.com]

Awesome video! Great quality and enough hot Spuffy scenes to make my heart go pitter-pat.

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

Glad you enjoyed it! Making it made my Spuffy heart all kinds of happy. ;)

[cutiesaiyajin.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I loved it! The quality of the video was amazing, and I love the song used here. Excellent all around!

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

Yay, thank you! :)

[tom-all-alones.livejournal.com]

Awh this was lovely. I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed videos 'til this one came along to remind me :)

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

Awww, thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed it. :D

[writero.livejournal.com]

That was lovely. Thank you!

*runs to iTunes to download the song*

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

Hee, thank *you* for letting me know you like it! :)

[thisficklemob.livejournal.com]

Ooh, nice. I really liked how you juxtaposed clips so that one scene would bracket another... kinda like an ABAB rhyme scheme. And how you captured similar expressions, or expressions that were exactly opposite, to match them to each other or Spike to himself. And how you took unusual clips from familiar scenes.

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the lovely comments. :) And yeah, I'm kind of addicted to intercutting two scenes together...

[slaymesoftly.livejournal.com]

Very nice - thank you!

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

Thank *you* for commenting. :D

[danaid-luv.livejournal.com]

Ok, I *adore* this. You made the Spuffy so...beautiful. I'm still a Spuffy girl, but I think I've grown a little jaded towards Buffy's interaction with Spike; you've made me go 'awwwww!' where I haven't in a long, long time.

Guessing I could watch this six times in a row & catch something new each time--I love how much attention you pay to timing & little word nuances that tie music & picture together. *happy sigh*

Thanks so much for sharing! :)

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the wonderful comments! :D That's exactly what I was most hoping it would do.

[missmurchison.livejournal.com]

Your vids rock so much. I was just watching "Sorry" and some of your other vids with my daughter today, and to find this was a huge treat. The clip selection is amazing, and as I watched I was torn between "They need each other" and "This can never work," which is just the complexity and right-wrongness that is Spuffy.

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

::blushes::

Your comments are always so wonderful. Thank you. :)

[shoobstress.livejournal.com]

Wonderful. Personally, I consider you The Master BtVS Vidder. I enjoyed - and will again, over and over. Thank you!

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

Oh wow. I'm incredibly flattered considering the wonderful vidders that have done BtVS. ;} Thank you for commenting. :D

[molly_may]

Awww, this made my little Spuffy heart happy.:) I loved it.

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

Yay, happy Spuffy hearts is just what I was going for, thank you! :D

[confusedkayt.livejournal.com]

This is just amazing. the timing and technical skills that went in to this just boggle the mind!

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you. :)
