I saw this in the show but wasn't able to stay for the discussion: but. I ADORED THIS VID. This is one of my top five vids of the con, I loved it SO MUCH. Thank you!!

[mresundance]

Oh, thank you thank you. I'm floored that you liked it so much. I made this vid so much for myself (and enjoyed it so much for myself) that I didn't know if anyone else would like it. I am taken aback, but I am also grinning like an idiot at this comment. :D

Thank you again. It was a pleasure seeing you at con again. Until next time!

WELL I MEAN! BYRON! *MAKES FLAILY CAPSLOCK HANDS OF BYRON!* BUT ALSO THE VID WAS ALL SMART AND SQUEEFUL ABOUT BYRON.

WHAT. IS NOT TO LOVE!

[mresundance]

*FLAILS AT COMMENT*

BYRON APPROVES OF UNBRIDLED USE OF CAPSLOCK AND SQUEE FOR TOTES REALSIES.

\O/

For reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, I was DEEPLY BEMUSED to see a Lord Byron vid in the programme. Fortunately, it turned out to be AWESOME. *g* You made the song work *perfectly* with Byron's Romantic rockstar-ness. And I love the way you used the still pictures/art/comic at the end *with* the video--not just as supplementary visuals, but as *complementary* visuals that commented on the content of the video clips (and vice versa).

*Very* good vid! I liked it a lot. :)

LOL, yeaaaaah, kinda thought it people might think that.

Haha, Byron is more pop music than rock music to me. If he had an mp3 player I bet it would be full of Lady Gaga. (That's my theory, at least.)

Thank you very much for that. I was very worried the text etc would be distracting and wasn't as well integrated as it should be. Especially the poetry bits. :)

Thanks again for stopping to comment, especially on specific details. :}

I really dug this. Looking forward to watching again!

[mresundance]

Heeeh. Thank you. :D

Hilarious and brilliant! Not to mention that you've single-handedly redeemed the song for me. :)

[mresundance]

Oh yay. I heard the song at last year's VVC with Party in the Midlands. I actually didn't want to vid this song for fear of "taking" another vidder's song, but the idea wouldn't leave me alone and I am weak. So I'm glad it helped redeem the song for you.

Thank you kindly!

Awesome! Hilarious combination of song & images, and I loved the cartoon at the end.

[mresundance]

:) Thank you most kindly.
