I had to write a paper on Atonement for school today and so I watched the film again and then came here because I remembered you made a really good video. You made several actually! I'm happy to watch this again.
I expected a shallow and poorly done mix of two unmatchable things, but you skillfully put this film and song together in a meaningful way. Well done!
this is amazing. i remember i first watched it when you first did it (whenever that was) - did you post it on the JMc livejournal thingy or something? anyway, i have thought of it often when i listen to this song or think about the movie. amazing. :)
i would never think to put this song with atonement...but wow it really fits exellent with the movie...the clips and timing...everything just goes...utterly amazing video!!!
This video is absolutely amazing! Very dynamic, with perefct timing and great editing! And the songs just fits so perfectly, you really captured the feelings of the movie with it, I think. Btw, I CAN'T stop watching this video! 5 stars and faved!
Okay. So I have to say that when I saw the title of this video I was skeptical because to me this song is Twilight and only Twilight, but by the end of watching this video, I was blown away. You did a fantastic job! The editing was great, clip/lyric pairing was perfect and I love how you used the live clips as well. I think this is my new favorite video of yours and that says something. ;-)
I really appreciated ! You know I love this song so much and so I needed to vid it somehow! Atonement fit the bill so well and I was thrilled with the result! Your feedback means alot dreamsandmemories ! Thankyou so much! :D
You're very welcome Val. :) I can't wait to judge your video. Call me Kimberly btw. dreamsandmemories just sounds too formal. Plus it's my site's name. I wouldn't want to take it, LOL.
Why all my comments on this masterpiece are gone?? So again - Val, you know, you're a genius, don't you? I love the emotional fever that is always in your works. I feel so wasted after waching LOL And all video mixed with live performance of Decode... simply brilliant. You have not only great editing skills and good program but also - which is the most important - heart and intuition. And mostly those two things made me going back to you so often. So glad I can see another beauty of yours ^^
Simply amazing Val!!! I can't think now about this song without thinking of Briony, the lyrics seems made for her!! :P My 5*, faved and shared, keep up your wonderful work!
And congratulations for all these 3 years vidding :DD You have an incredible talent!
well,i must confess that first i wasn't sure about this song for Atonement (just bc it's so perfect for Twilight) but let me say since i started watching the doubts disapeard completly...it's perfect for your vision for this!
beautiful editing,full of emotions,guilt and regret...LOVE IT!
gosh,YT really need to give me more than 5* for me to give it to you :)
and o course going to my faves!
p.s- it's great that you put also Paramore clips too ^^
It is just so good, impossible to describe, you are just really really good in videoediting, you are a creative person, considering your icons aswell.
WOW Val this video is just fabulous!! Your editing is simply fantastic !! I love your song choice it goes so well with the video !! Many thanks for sharing your talent with us :)) 5* and a fav.
Impeccably Flawless Editing Skills As Usual!!! If I didn't know any better... I'd say this awesome song was written especially for Briony Tallis' POV...it's a perfect fit which is really no surprise, all your vids are impeccably flawless in every single detail. The end result's splendiferous as usual. I've watched it 5 times already & am still in awe at how you made one of the most recognizable songs from the Twilight soundtrack work especially well for Atonement. Brilliant!!! =D
Thankyou Thankyou ASLW ! I love this song so much that I had to make something of my own with it! Glad you liked and watched it 5 times! :D *hugs* Thankyou!
Ahhh! I think you are one of my favorite editors!! And you hardly used any effects... amazing!!!
You're one of the few people that makes vids for Briony and I think that's harder, so kudos to you lol, I also liked how you combined it with Paramore's performance, very well done!! :D
Wow Val! REALLY well done! Everytime I hear this song it reminds me of Twilight but for almost 4 minutes you convinced me it can be used for Atonement and goes so well!! I have only seen Atonement twice because it depresses me but I LOVED your video! Well done!! 5 stars!
Thankyou so much Heather! I know the movie is the most depressing ever but its so beautiful and so interesting for vidding :D Thanks again! I appreciate the nice words so much!
I am amazed at how well the song fits with the Atonement story (since the only other I've heard this song was in Twilight) and I think your impeccable editing has a lot to do with it :):)
This is so awesome and AMAZING! Seriously I am so higly impressed by your editing skills! SO professional! You know I also loved that and you showed it again in this video just to make me breathless ;-) :-P
*hugs* Thanks so much dear!!!!!! I`m thrilled with your comment! Yes its the Jimmy Kimmel performance! ;D I *heart* this song so much! Thankyou very very much! :D
^.^ Loving it !! I am also currently making an Atonement vid :P I think this song works really well and your editing is wicked ! I really liked the way you mix the live performance and the movie ;) good job!! Flawless editing!! Keep up the amazing work!
Thankyou for your thoughts pygmypuff! I had alot of fun mixing the live performance in! ;D Thanks again and looking forward to your atonement video! :D
this song matches Atonement so well! After watching the movie it made me think of how careful I should be in judging people and acting on those presumptions. Your video made me remember what this movie and book was about. :) Thanks for that Val. adding paramore clips just helped build the intensity of the song and movie! My favorite part is 0:36 to 0:48 awesome editing there!!! Just amazing throughout I always look foward t your vids. Can't wait for the next one! btw I LOVE the pic at the end!
WOW that was amazing!! I really loved this video I love that u know exactly what effects to use without over doing it which I think some people do but urs r subtle and perfect and really flow with the video!! and timing what can i say...................unbelievable! Yours songs r so original as well and I love that instead of trying to match every word which sometimes doesn't always work u match the tone of the video to the song!! its perfect!!
Thankyou for one of the best comments I`ve ever recieved and for making my day rach2xxx ! :D This wasn`t the easiest song lyrics wise but I`m glad you enjoyed the final result! Thankyou so so much!
Val....that was a great pairing !! Decode works great with this vid !! I really like your timing with the scenes and music also !! Great choice !! thanks,,,,......Cyn :O)
