So... What do you think?

(Currently on a yousendit link, but I hope to get it uploaded to my site tomorrow)File now uploaded to my site, please right click and save as.

ETA 17/11/08 I've changed the link as I forgot to renew my domain at the begining of the year, and so lost the domain amaltheia.net. (I'd had it approximately six years. *sob*)

Can you look out the window without your shadow getting in the way...

So nice to know I'm not the only one who thought this would make a good song for a new series vid. :) (And I like what you've done, how you've matched visual text to song.)

[thedivinegoat.livejournal.com]

I was listening to the song, and it just seemed so perfect for the Doctor.

I'm glad you liked it.

Oh my GOODNESS. That was...wow! I'm very, very picky about vids, nine out of ten I throw out after watching the first thirty seconds; I haven't found a DW one yet that I like. Until now. I love how the video synchs with the lyric without being cloyingly twee; the pacing and the irony and the way the whole thing seems to tell one story by the end... This is wonderful and I'm glad I stumbled across it!

[thedivinegoat.livejournal.com]

Wow.

That's what I call positive feedback. ;-) And coming from you makes it all the more flattering.

I'm really glad you enjoyed it, I worked hard on it to avoid it being another "Ooo! Pretty... Timing? What timing?" vid. Looks like I might have succeeded.

Dude! That's awesome! I feel incredibly inarticulate compared to everyone else who said, 'dude! That's awesome!' only with better words but, yeah. Go you!

[thedivinegoat.livejournal.com]

But, "Dude! That's awesome!" still fills me with joy and Yay! People Liked It!

In fact.

Yay! Peoplenerdcakes Liked It!

[jekesta]

Eeeeeeeee, this is marvellous. Really. That's about as capable as I ever am at feedback:):):) I love it, great song, and beautifully put together and I can hardly believe it's your first vid omg. LOVE:):):):):)

*gloves you back*

I can hardly believe it's your first vid omg.

I've watched enough that I should have some idea of how to avoid the obvious ones. At least that's the theory. ;-)

[thedivinegoat.livejournal.com]

That should have been -

avoid the obvious pitfalls

*Headdesk*

Hi, just wanted to say I have just finished watching your vid for the umpty eleventh time and I'm still blown away... You really have a talent for vidding and I hope you continue as long as it brings you enjoyment.

(Just fyi, most vids I download I end up deleting lest I risk permanent injury to my cerebral cortex.)

WOW! I'm totoally blown away by that video, one of of the best videos I've ever seen. You have a real talent for this, you made the song really relate to the characters and what happened in the first season. Amazing!

[purple_bug.livejournal.com]

Wow. Just ... wow. That was perfect. The words matched and the sequence of clips was lovely - just the right ones to bring back memories and inspire smiles, perfectly paced and everything! Lovely song, too. I must seek it out and put it on my mp3 player, it's in my head now! I'm in an obsessive place about Doctor Who at the moment, and your video sums up the entire series without me having to sort through the DVDs and watch whole episodes to find just one moment. Loved it. Adored it, completely.

[tavella.livejournal.com]

Very lovely. You had a great eye for picking out moments that fit the song. Thanks!

[copracat]

I really liked your vid. Eccleston's face is like magic.

I found your vid ages ago (it was recommended by someone, I think) and I just wanted to say that it is still the best Doctor Who vid I've ever seen almost two years and many vids later. I've used it to try and get some of my friends interested in DW, and i found your post again now that I was looking for a link to share with yet another friend. :~)

So anyway, I just thought I'd (finally!) say how much I appreciate this vid. Better late than never, I suppose... And the song is really nice too, so thanks for introducing me to it! You've made the video clips and the lyrics fit very well together.
