Who Do You Wanna Be - Laura Roslin tribute

[cmuc6575]

That was lovely, totally made me want to cry! I just started watching last month ( mom tried to get me to watch it from day one, rebellious child) but I love BSG! Have seen just about all the episodes but dredding the last episode, but I'll watch it soon!

[tomgilchrist]

Awesome video - I've just discovered BSG on Sky Atlantic, what a show! Only about ten episodes into Season 1 but I already see that Laura Roslin goes hard and takes names! :)

[pennyfeline]

@tomgilchrist Thank you! :) It's great to hear from someone who has only just started on the series. You're in for quite a ride, hope you enjoy the remaining episodes!

[tomgilchrist]

@pennyfeline At the start of Season 3 - man, wow! Bloody Baltar, that's all I can say :)

[firefliesuk]

I know you added this on here eons ago but do you still have it somewhere that I can download it?

[Firstlady1408]

Why oh why you make me cry!! 100th time I watched that vid and still gets me J xxxx

[pennyfeline]

@Firstlady1408 Awwww. *huggles tight*

[firefliesuk]

Gosh this is gorgeous. And I love this piece of music

[pennyfeline]

@firefliesuk Thank you. Glad the music alone did its work, too. It really is gorgeous.

[firefliesuk]

@pennyfeline btw...made me cry all over again! xx

[pipersf]

This is one of the most beautiful Laura vids I've ever seen. The voice-overs worked really well with the music to set the tone of the video. Great job!

[pennyfeline]

Thank you so much for commenting. I'm glad you liked it so much.

[vailkagami]

This brought teast to my eyes. Simply touching.

[pennyfeline]

Thank you so much for the comment.

[Firstlady1408]

This still remains my top video for Laura, you truly did a remarkable job. Bittersweet and beautiful

[pennyfeline]

Thank you for saying that. Put a smile on my face.

[Firstlady1408]

Im glad, is it avaliable for DL anywhere?

[pennyfeline]

Check my LJ.

[ShuShuMcJ]

I'm still crying when I watch this one. It's so beautiful!

[pennyfeline]

Aw, I'm touched it touches you so much. Thank you for leaving a comment.

[qds19]

*wipes tear away* That was beautiful. Really, very moving.

[pennyfeline]

*offers tissue* Thank you for leaving a comment. Very glad it still has the power to move people.

[WensiciaCorrino]

That is really great!!!

[pennyfeline]

Thank you!

[scotschic]

Simply breathtaking, I had tears running down my cheeks after wathcing this tribute, absolutely brilliant!

[pennyfeline]

Thank you so much for the feedback. :)

[iluvfriends1234]

when your editing videos how do you put video clips instead of pictures

[emmatude]

This still moves me so. Maybe it even moves me more now that it is all in the past. After all now it is as if Laura Roslin really died. Never again will there be a new scene, a new plot.

This is a magnificently vid. I love how you superimposed her voice saying things that she said in a different cntext, but that add much dept to the new imagery you place it with. "Who do you want to be?!"

The vid exudes a deep understanding of what it must have been like to be Laura Roslin.

Thanks for sharing!

[pennyfeline]

Thank you for your lovely and thoughtful comment. She was such a complex character and there certainly is still a lot left to explore. :)

[kelinea]

still in love with this vid ((((Penny)))))

[pennyfeline]

Thank you, hon.

[iluvfriends1234]

The best video i have ever seen thank you soooo much

[pennyfeline]

Thank you!

[rosieblah]

Breathtaking, overwhelming... stunning. And i mean literally. First time i watched it on LJ i had tears running down my face the whole time. You've managed to assemble all my thoughts on Laura's journey with the most beautiful music, you are a true artist *applause* take a bow.

[pennyfeline]

Oh, wow, thank you for such a wonderful comment. It makes me happy to know I managed to capture her journey and I am glad it had such an impact on you

[MasterMax01]

Oh dear gods I was so not ready to watch this. *sobs* I'm going to miss her so, so much. She was an incredible character and this was a beautiful tribute.

[pennyfeline]

Thank you, and yes, she was an incredible character. :)

[Jacey517]

Wow. I don't know what to say. (er, type?) This video is so amazing there's no words for it. All the quotes that you put into it are so incredibly moving. Thanks for the video. It's amazing!

~Lauren

[pennyfeline]

Thank *you* for the lovely comment. I'm happy you enjoyed the video so much. :)

[jadevoyager]

Okay, So I have watched this at least 100 out of the 548 listed viewings...;D So amazing. What a wonderful tribute to such an amazing character. It's all gorgeous, but for me, the moment that steals my breath away, is at 2:40 where Laura is talking about home... her face as she looks at Bill is priceless, and it just makes me so happy to see that she has found her home in him. Beautiful. Thank you for this and all your videos.

[pennyfeline]

Thank you for the comment and for taking good care of my view count. *g* I, too, love Laura's face in that particular scene, it's so peaceful.

[mandyanomie]

This is absolutely beautiful. It really summed up all of Laura's strength and fear and pain in a peaceful (yet bittersweet/heartbreaking) manner. Thank you so much for posting it!

[pennyfeline]

Thank you so much for commenting. 'Peaceful' is exactly what I had in mind when I made this vid, so it fills me with joy that this came across for you. Thank you!

[Firstlady1408]

TY! :D

[Firstlady1408]

*SOBS* OMG this was beautiful, your vids always astound me but this was truly EPIC! Is it availible for DL ;-)

[pennyfeline]

[pennyfeline]

*blush* Thank you for the lovely comment. Laura Roslin certainly was a milestone in the history of tv/movies, hope there will be more female characters like her to follow.

[Spartanz1170]

Isn't this from "The Mission"? the song that is

[pennyfeline]

Yes it is. :)

[Ysu73]

Sometimes I think, given the limited numbers of the clips, it is very difficult to find something new and fresh and touching. And then I come across on video this brilliant and wonderful and I am just blown away. Thank you very much.

[pennyfeline]

IAnd am blown away by your comment. Thank you, I'm glad I could add something new and fresh. :)

[kelinea]

It's probably the most beautiful and amazing vids you made, and you know how much I love the others....Thanks and send me tissues to watch your vids, next time :P

[pennyfeline]

Aw, Kel, thank you. I am overwhelmed with all the positive feedback.

[kelinea]

You deserve all those comments schatje :)

Namaste :)

<3

[SpookyTrixy]

wow that was amazing, what is the first voice over from?

[pennyfeline]

Thank you. Which voice over do you mean? "We have to inform you there's been a terrible accident..." is from Daybreak, part 1.

[SpookyTrixy]

whoops my bad I meant the second bit, where she goes on about caring for her mother when she was dying

[pennyfeline]

Ah! ;) That bit of dialogue is from the episode "Faith" when she is talking to fellow cancer patient Emily.

[secours23]

This was beautifully done.

[pennyfeline]

Thank you!

[Sparky4ever]

This is the most amazing tribute to Laura ever!!! Thank you so much for this!! :D

Loved everything, music, editing and especially the voiceovers!!!

Made me cry too! :'(

[pennyfeline]

Wow, thank you, and no, don't cry, my tissue supply is slowly running out!

[kiminbari]

Sweet and sensitive eulogy for such a grand, noble character. One of my ultimate favorite heroines. I'm still grieving the end of the show, the end of her life. Where did she get her strength to endure?

[pennyfeline]

Thank you for the comment! One can only hope that it is a hidden strength in a lot of women. ;)

[liona5]

Frak, I cried again,*

REally awesome vid,really mouving,thanks for this ^^

[pennyfeline]

Don't cry, she eventually had a rich (fictional) life. ;) Thank you for commenting!

[xDonnaandtheDynamosx]

Aww my poor sweet Laura!!!

*cries,,, hard*  Great video

[pennyfeline]

Thank you!

[uromania]

Amazing vid! I cried like a baby. A sad, sad baby.

[pennyfeline]

And there I hoped it had a cleansing effect. *hugs*

[Steph7085]

Beautiful video for an amazing character!

[pennyfeline]

Thank you!

[missbevcrusher]

Absolutely breathtaking. Thank you.

[pennyfeline]

Thank you for the wonderful feedback!

[GoBoldly]

That was absolutely beautiful and so moving! Thank you!

[pennyfeline]

Thank *you* for the lovely comment!

[damejulie]

you know, i'm crying as hard as when i was watching the finale. this is the most beautiful video about Laura I've ever seen. thank you, thank you!

[pennyfeline]

Wow, that comment warms my heart. Thank you so much, I am so happy I could do her character justice despite the time constraint. ;) Thank you for the wonderful feedback!

[zenzerobsg]

just perfect. thank you. I will miss her so much...

[pennyfeline]

Thank you, Zenzero. We all will miss this amazing character, but I thought she had a wonderful end to her journey.

[maryliciousGirl]

I don't know what to say ....

incredible Penny !!!!!!! just beautiful , Thank You !!!

[pennyfeline]

Thank *you*, Maggie!

[Sczep84]

I just have to comment again, sorry, lol.

I think I just watched this 4 times in a row. My gosh, it's not only amazing, it's the best Laura vid ever! Faved, 5 stars and V-logged!

[damejulie]

So say we all! This is the 4th time i watched it and i will watch it again and again. I miss Laura so very much! :(

[pennyfeline]

I am speechless, thank you. I didn't think it would get so enthusiastic reactions like this as it was actually "only" a heartfelt gift for a dear friend of mine and it was so hard to do Laura's character justice in these 3 minutes. Thank you so much for letting me know it did. :)

[Sczep84]

Do u possibly have a download link? *batts eyes*

[pennyfeline]

Look at my LJ, same username. ;)

[Sczep84]

*face:desk* I always forget to look on lj first :p Anyway, thank u! Downloading it right now.

[Sczep84]

That was amazing, absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

[larsfarm77]

You always tell such a beautiful story with your vids. This was absolutely gorgeous, the voice overs totally worked, and I didn't cry (which is progress for me!). I was particularly taken with the image of the pigeon to the one of the flamingos ... beautiful.

[pennyfeline]

Aww, Lars, thank you for saying this. I try very hard to tell stories and not just throw music and pictures together, so that comment makes me very happy. :) The blend from the pigeon to the flamingos is my favorite part of the vid, too, hee! I don't care what people say, I LOVE Ron for including those pigeon scenes. ;) *chuckle*

[Indianabecks]

This is amazing, pennyfeline. I was really hoping someone would make a vid that encompasses Laura's life and everything it meant. Thank you!

[pennyfeline]

Wow, thank you. I wasn't sure it would do her life justice because there was a lot more I wanted to put in, but had to cut because I only had 3 minutes to fill and I wanted to keep this particular piece of music. So I focused on what I thought defined her most and I am very, very glad it worked so well for you. Thank you for commenting! :)

[Roxtonrocks]

A truly beautiful vid, hon. Thank you.

[pennyfeline]

It wouldn't exist without you. :) Very happy you like it so much!

[Roxtonrocks]

Aw, well, I am so glad that so many people are very taken with it too. It warms my heart to know that.

[pennyfeline]

Someone save those polar caps, quick! ;)

[TrinyPenny15]

Amazing! thank you penny.

[pennyfeline]

Thank you so much, Trin!

[11moonelf]

already missing the characters & the show - yet still can't watch it again yet. the finale was somewhat traumatic...i mean, really? yet it's true. this show had me deeply hooked.

[pennyfeline]

I thought it helped a great deal to watch it again and really come to peace with it. Maybe you should give it a try. :)
