"Well, you know the old saying;
When you can't run you crawl, when you can't crawl, when you can't do that, you find someone to carry you."
Yes, one sentence. Even thought it is spoken by three people.

I have quite a bit to say about this video.

This particular quote was hard for me to put in a category. This whole bit in the episode makes me cry, the music, the near end of the series, the death scene. But the quote itself is happy, "find someone to carry you." There will always be someone there to help you get home.
So, I would want to put it in the "happy" section, but it fits in the "sad" as well. Come to think of it it really fits in the "Love" category best of all, personally. Love.

The sentence is from "The Message" episode from Firefly, spoken, in turn, by Mal, Tracy, and Zoey.
Zoey and Mal are comforting their old war buddy, telling him that they will get him home to his folks. Tracy has been shot by both Zoey and Mal for reasons that I will not disclose on account that YOU NEED TO WATCH THE SERIES. The end of this episode makes me cry every single time I watch it.

If you notice, the overlay does not fade in and out with the video, as I would normally make it do. I did this because I liked the look of constant movement of this video. It also give everything a blue tint, which helps tie multiple fandoms together. NOT because I got lazy. :/
I also had text originally, I tossed that cause It looked bad, sloppy. I could go on for sentences and paragraphs about how sloppy and/or bad text work bothers me, in video or pictures. That shit does not fly, and it really does affect the way your work looks.

Now the fandoms, These are may three favorite fandoms, I ship them like a pirate ships pirates.

Firefly - A beautiful world created by Joss Wheadon. Where the only to powers left are the US and China. You follow a small group though space on their old ship, a Firefly.
The crew is like one big family, I don't have any other way to describe it.

Final Fantasy X - My favorite video game. Period. L4D is amazing, but can't top how FFX makes me feel. You start in Spria, a stranger and unknowing of the ways of the place in which you are, just like the main character, Tidus. This is a beautiful way to start a story and I can't get enough of it. The rest of the game is fantastic, it ranges though all the emotions, and it's not on the "we have to save the world" shit like so many other games are. Especially Final Fantasy games.

Harry Potter - Need I go in to this? No, but I will. The books are wonderfully written, full of mythology and references and research. Rowling's writing got better though out the books, her characters did too. I will always appreciate good character development and her characters developed brilliantly. The movies are movies, they'll never be perfect but they are great. Cinematic and the casting is amazing. Like, when the first movie was seen you're just like, "OMG THEY LOOK JUST LIKE WHAT I THOUGHT THEY WOULD LOOK LIKE!!" I can't wait to see The Deathly Hallows.

So, even if this video doesn't go far with the contest, I am never the less proud of it and it does mean quite a lot to me.

Could do with having a little more music just to make it a little longer.

20 Seconds was the time limit for this contest, making it any longer would have disqualified me.

Gosh, I love your sentence choice for the contest. Wonderful video and nice transitioning between fandoms! Marvelous work! I love Joss Whedon--he's amazingly talented but I never got into Serentity. (My bad) Major love for FFX; I don't think we'll see a game of it's caliber again. Yes to Potterdom!

All the fandoms look perfect together. Magnificent editin

Harry Potter; probably the best book-turned-movie cast. They all fit the descriptions so nicely. And it was wonderfully written and the movies are wonderfully acted and directed.

Final Fantasy X; while not my most favorite game, I always enjoy it. The characters are great, with the exception of Tidus (he annoys the hell out of me).

Firefly; never seen it. I've watched all of Wheadon's creations, but not Firefly. You made me wanna watch it, though. And I love the sentence. It made me cry a bit.
