Wow, what a way to start Seasonal Spuffy with such a lovely and gorgeous vid! I didn't know the song, so thanks for introducing me to it -- it's just beautiful, so slow and sensual with deep feeling behind it. And you paired it with the perfect visuals of Buffy and Spike. Turning each other on, sure, but also supporting each other and believing in each other. Showing the grace in their relationship, indeed. I'm going to rewatch this one a lot!
Thank you for the acknowledgements. It's funny, because if there was any handholding in 2016 it was definitely mutual! (Okay, handholding is mutual by definition, but you know what I mean, right?) And me taking eight months just to do that is putting an exceedingly positive spin on things :-)
Those few hours last week were very well-spent if you ask me. I love love love the spreading ink effect you have at the start, it fits the tone of the vid so very well. I also really like the soft look you created that goes so well with the song. But, to be honest I'm not sure I see the starry overlay you mention. Unless it's more about the colouring than actual stars?
Thanks for the links to those tutorials, I'm going to check them out. (Except the cutting & syncing one -- not just because I already know it from your earlier rec, but mostly because I've given up on the idea of ever doing any proper syncing that's not just based on trial and error.)
