[th15mak35n053n53]

This is fabulous. Very well edited, great sense of rhythm, movement, and feeling. =)

[smartblonde159]

Oh my gosh! Flo and North + South?! Such a powerful song that just fills my head with such a wonderful story!

[veryval]

@smartblonde159 Thank you so much! Glad you liked it!

[sirguyslady]

Wonderful and upbeat. Well done!

[veryval]

@sirguyslady ha ha thank you so much! :D

[BerriesBaby]

This is a truly unbelievable vid, absolutely beautiful

[veryval]

@BerriesBaby aw thank you so much! I`m so happy! :D

[conrad152]

Scintillating editing,you have a genuine gift for marrying music to image,you are a true video artist.

[veryval]

@conrad152 aw thats very nice of you! Many thanks :)

[tateybinks]

Oh wow this is just amazing :)

The music fits so wonderfully for them as well. I love how it follows the evolution of their relationship over time and how it eases into the end scene at the train platform.

[veryval]

@tateybinks Thank you so much for the observation and comment! I really appreciate it! :D

[xoxojdavenport]

WOW!! Fantastic!! What timing! I honestly think you just get better and better and I always look forward to seeing your new vids. I am just in awe of your talent. The beginning of the song reminds me a bit of my high school band as it has that sound. I really enjoyed this. :D

[veryval]

@xoxojdavenport Aw you`re too kind! Thrilled you enjoyed this one as well dear! Much appreciated :D

[xoxojdavenport]

@veryval I just think in this day and age of computers and videos, it is rather rare to find people that are really gifted and bring something unique. I am glad that you appreciate things that are deeper.

[lookinglass123]

This has actually made my day.

I have never seen decent editing to this fandom which saddens me so much as it just...gah, I adore it so much.

Anyway - wonderful XD

[veryval]

@lookinglass123 Aw thanks so much! :D

[TheBlackHorse92]

Hooray for lovely colouring [again]. I'm binging on your vids now I've discovered that we share a few interests, happily for me! I really do love your style, all of the 'quick-quick-slow' editing to the beat, just enough flashes & transitions to make it work but never overkill = skillage. =] I like very much, and now find myself dying to re-watch N&S [though my friend has my dvds *sadface*].

[veryval]

@TheBlackHorse92 Yay thanks again ! Glad you`re enjoying the coloring coz I`m a little obsessed with adding it at the moment lol! Glad to know you`re an N&S fan! Such a brilliant movie!:D Thanks very much!

[TheBlackHorse92]

@veryval Go for the colouring lol, always good for giving vids a bit of individuality [although I fail at it, colour popping is my thing]! N&S is awesome, it got me hooked on period drama, and the delectable Mr Richard Armitage =P

[veryval]

@DevastatinglyDiandra ha ha thanks xD

[hardendhearts]

That. Was. AMAZING!!!! You have so much talent and this shows the tension and passion in their relationship so beautifully! This is so on my Favorites and I will be watching for more of your stuff!

[veryval]

@hardendhearts Wow thank you for the amazing comment! I`m thrilled you liked it! Thanks again :D

[EbonyHood]

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.

Perfect song choice for them, most people choose slower songs but their relationship is such a passionate one that this song is perfect. Flawlessly edited, I cannot stop watching.

[veryval]

@EbonyHood Thank you so much for the nice comment! I`m really glad you liked it :)

[avalon2468]

[dealingdreams]

Beautiful video! I loved the timing of it, very creative use of clips to work with the rhythm of the music. I loved every second of it. :)

[veryval]

@dealingdreams Aw thanks so much :D

[KDRainstorm]

Wow...love this vid! It's unique from other N&S vids out there - I think because the song is fast-paced. But it works really well - especially combined with the simple, but very effective clip cuts to match the beat of the drums! Another one of your vids going to my faves!

[veryval]

@KDRainstorm Yay thanks dear! :D Glad you found it different and interesting! Thank you so much ! *flowers*

[veryval]

@zagorka77 Wow thanks very much for the nice feedback! Much appreciated :D

[bluesalad]

with long scenes then really meaningful, passionate scenes...

anyways I'm glad i clicked on this video in my subs box.

i really needed something fun to end my hectic week.

love ya Val!

keep using Florence + The Machine songs!

Florence + The Machine + Val + Period Dramas = A VERY HAPPY ME!!!!

[veryval]

@bluesalad Wow one of the longest comments I`ve ever recieved ! Ah thanks Bluann! You made my day! You don`t see many N&S vids these days and it was so refreshing to vid :) Glad you enjoyed it so much! This song is addictive lol The editing was different which made it fun. Thank you very much for the detailed comment! I really really appreciate it :D

[bluesalad]

thanks for making such a yummy video!

YAY!!!! You used this song!!!! I've been waiting for a fanvid that used this whole song also one that used one of my favorite period dramas! :D

of course all those beats required fade to blacks

i love how you used real long scenes during the slow parts and then switched to faster editing during the choruses. the drastic changes really caught my attention and made me remember why i love your videos and North and South. Because it was like that....

[bluesalad]

remembering this movie, I remembered it as a simple, basic, BBC period drama talking and very passionate looks and the one kiss...I forgot all the great moments between the two main characters and especially all those Richard moments especialy my favorite parts: when Margaret gets hit by a stone and he is so concerned, and the two parts where he's running, Oh and when we smells the flower, AND when he gives her the flower! of course the tender touching and kissing!

[Lotjeknorrepotje]

The coloring is great and even though I am not always a big fan of fast flashes and editing it worked just fabulously well with this video. Gosh, I am impressed and I just have to fave this! Yet another beauty, are you on a vidding diet or something??? I dont mind seeing many more new ones though ;-). Hugs!

[Lotjeknorrepotje]

Okay, I am stunningly unorginal by saying this, but: I love Florence and the Machine and I really don't mind that you are currently obsessed with them ;-). I never would have linked this song to John Thornton but your video proved that it surely is a great match!! I am loving it :D.

[veryval]

@Lotjeknorrepotje ha ha thanks for the comment lotte! *beams*

I don`t know why but everytime I heard the drum beats I thought of john thornton! *so sexy!* ;D Thanks! I haven`t been vidding all that often lately coz crappy school work keeps me busy but I try my best ;) Thanks again! *hugs*

[koniczynkaL]

Gosh, this is fuckin' brilliant... Ooops, I propably first time in my life used a nasty word in my comment LOL shame on you, Val, seriously : P but I cannot help it, I love Florence and it was amazing, you just nailed it. There's nothing else to say maybe except wow. You still can suprise me how good you are. The vid is addictive, I will definately return to it. And now off to take a second bath this evening.... this time it must be cold xD I'm sure you understand that *giggle*

[veryval]

@koniczynkaL ha ha I don`t mind nasty words one bit! hee hee Your comment made me giggle btw hee hee! Thanks so so much! You`re the sweetest and yes Flo and the Machine = brilliance :D

[SuoBella]

I love Florence and the Machine....and then her paired with my next favorite thing...Period Dramas!!! This is AWESOME, excellent job with your editing, so great! Bravo! Thanks for sharing :)

[veryval]

@SuoBella Aw thanks ! Glad you enjoyed this combo! Thank you!

[Elva75]
