(I am replying to my LJ comments before the fv_poster ones because there are fewer of them. Shhh. Don't tell.)
Thank you! I am so pleased you liked it.
Ha, I have restrained myself so much on notes! It's a good thing there was so much time between posting and reveal. I had originally intended the subject of the vid to be messages passed between worlds, literally and metaphorically, including messages between the world of the living and the world of the dead, so I could use all the isolation tank footage and end on a relatively hopeful note with the "You're gonna be fine" from Charlie (Charlie-in-Olivia's-head). And I had a lot of the beginning of the timeline filled and was messing with the clips at Charlie's grave for the end, and it was so bad I freaked out and almost ditched the entire thing (http://thuviaptarth.livejournal.com/128910.html) before deciding I could keep some of what I'd done if I just, um, changed half the focus of the vid. And ditched the hopeful ending. Sorry, dead Charlie! I'm sure you'll get to be a helpful dead friend in some other vid.
If it hadn't been too long, I would have used a quote from the ZFT manifesto from "Ability" as the vid's summary: "Many warriors of the inevitable confrontation are among us now -- but before they can be considered soldiers, they must be regarded as recruits. And the expectation must be that they shall be unwilling."
Well, okay. If it hadn't been too long and had sounded less hokey.
