That was glorious, and bittersweet, and absolutely lovely. I'm off to watch it again!

[icepixie]

Eeee, glorious! Thank you! :)

[celamity]

That was so lovely, and you picked the perfect bit of music for it :)

[icepixie]

Thank you! :)

I loved this. Very sensitively edited, beautiful clip choices, and a song that works perfectly. I'm all nostalgic for the show now. (:

Reccing it...

[icepixie]

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. And thanks for the rec! :)

OH. MY!

A new B5 vid! And such an awesome one. Now I'm nostalgic, too, for one of my most favorite shows ever. You done it justice, there.

[icepixie]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

If you're looking for more B5 vids, I've got a couple more from earlier this year: West of the Moon and East of the Sun (Sheridan/Delenn, "Sleeping in Light"-centric) and A House Divided (Talia's alternate personality).

This is utterly lovely. Perfect song choice, if not at all obvious, and the pacing of your cutting matches the song and subject so well.

Thank you.

[icepixie]

Thank you so much!

[xenacryst]

Oooooh, thank you! I love finding B5 vids, because most of them are just barely pre-computer era.

[icepixie]

:D

I love finding just about anything B5-related, as I only got into the show about a year and a half ago. The fandom is still going, thankfully, but it's well into small fandom territory these days.

I really enjoyed that! And now I'm all nostalgic.

[icepixie]

Thank you! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it. :)

This was lovely! I'm particularly impressed by how you made the song choice work so well (it seems to me that slower songs must be harder to vid to -- to keep a sense of motion, I guess). I feel nostalgic now, too.

[icepixie]

Thank you! :)

I haven't yet vidded to a song that's really fast, but I've made vids to more up-tempo songs than this, and...for me, anyway, once I get over the feeling of, "Oh noes, I'm not cutting fast enough to keep people's interest!", a vid for a slow song will fall into its own rhythm just like a vid for a faster song. I found that the hardest part of making this vid was getting as many of the characters in the "Army of Light" into it as I could.

God. God. That was beautiful.

(B5 was the show that made me a fan of anything ever; to see that feeling that made me fall in love captured so perfectly here makes something in my heart seize with joy.)

[littlebutfierce]

Here via eisen. That was lovely! Now I would like to go watch the show again, heh...

[icepixie]

Thank you!

I just got into B5 about two years ago, but I've been more fannish about it than I have been for anything in as long as I can remember. There's just so much there to love!

[icepixie]

Thank you! I just completed a rewatch (well, minus S5), and I highly recommend it. :D

[marcelo]

<3!

[icepixie]

Thanks. :)

[starlady]

That was great! I need to do a rewatch one of these months…

[icepixie]

Thank you! I just did a rewatch myself, and highly recommend it. :)

[minoanmiss]

Oh AMEN. Thank you for this!
