And I don't quite want to work on my midterm yet, so here I go.
First of all - dude. That was fast. I am in awe. Yes, it was a tiny song, but still. Tiny songs are always the hardest for me (stupid FLV) so yes.
I adore this video so very much. You made Chloe likeable to me, and that is a feat. To me one of Chloe's biggest flaws is that she picks and picks and doesn't know when to let things go and let people have their secrets...and I cannot handle people like that in RL. So Chloe suffers in my eyes because of that. And this? This made me understand her. It made me stop seeing her as unattractively unrepentant for her "reporter-ness," and instead see her as someone who is slowly and painfully "learn[ing] to keep [her] mouth shut." The fact that you directed it through Clark is beautiful. I was curious as to what you meant when you said the video would be Chlark, but not - and I *get* it now. It's about Clark, but at the same time...it isn't. It's about the things Clark represents to *Chloe.*
I also love the fact that you did not make Clark an ass. Rather, you showed that they will never be together and it is sad, without making Clark look like a Big Dick for it. Not that he isn't a Big Dick, because he is. Just...not for this. *g* But the fact that you showed their relationship as just...being, without it coming with an agenda - I think that is the other reason I love this video. And the other reason I love Chloe in it. You made the Chlark sad in that "little emotional tragedies" way and man, it hurt. This is just...such an wonderfully melancholy little video. I love it to death. I want to squeeze it and love it and keep it. And I'm not even the one that was bouncing around looking forward to it (*peers at piper47)!
And...uh...I don't have a Chloe icon, otherwise I'd use that to express my love of this video. So instead you get Hyperactive Anthony Keidis. Sorry about that. ;)
