This was very beautifully done. I just watched the first disc of this show this weekend. Why did they shoot two pilots. This isn't the one that was on the disc. Same concept but different actress for Beth and minor differences it looked like.

@agentlyons Thanks for the lovely comment, and I hope you've been enjoying Moonlight! I took the scenes for this video from the first pilot, which was only about 25 minutes long and was more of a "presentation." The network apparently didn't like most of the cast but they did request a second, full pilot, which is the one that aired and showed up in the DVD. There really are only minor differences in the story (though Josef is quite different) and it's pretty interesting to compare them!

Great Job Amy using the clips from the Original Pilot. Alex is so beautiful as Mick he commands your attention the whole time he is on the screen. Brilliant work. I just love your editing and song choices in all your videos.

Hey Kath, you are so right - I just loved all these new shots of Mick and he does simply capture the screen. I'm so glad you've liked the songs I've used -- (even the six minute long ones!)

This is awesome, a beautiful video and song. I so wish that ML could have gone on and on.

Thank you Penny; just watching the original pilot made me feel the same way. It was almost like getting new Moonlight .....enough to imagine how great getting a movie would be!

I haven't seen any others using the original pilot either; wonder if there are any more out there? Yeah, I took the liberty of putting in all the things I loved and leaving out what I didn't like so much ... and as you know I didn't much care for the vamp makeup in this version! Thanks so much, FarCry.
