[sisabet]

As an early birthday gift for caphricacorn (who also made this icon!), I finished the Chloe vid last night and you can get it here. Yay!

Song: Perfect World
Artist: Liz Phair

Oh boy, it's a pretty life you have
And I would need a map
Just so I could navigate the back yard

Comments and feedback is always deeply appreciated.

ETA! Ack! Terrible day at work so of course I forget this part:

As always I thank sockkpuppett for vid-commiseration, I thank piper47 for enthusiasm, my Roswell-vid promise and good suggestions, and DUDE - renenet for Extreme Crash Betaing! She was on FIRE!

Wow.

I am... this was the best thing ever! You made my day, seriously. This was exactly what I needed. I love all the changes you made, a little said to see the beginning had changed, but it works really well and flows.

This, for such a short little video, it tells so much. And it's so nice to see a video about Chloe that can tell her story and OMG! Clark's not an ass. Chloe's life isn't all about Clark... he plays a very important role, but he's not the center of her universe and people forget that sometimes. That's why I love you threw all the stuff with Lionel in here. This vid is about Chloe... and it's adorable and sad and God ::hugs::

This is *exactly* what I wanted. I know the fandom loves Chloe, but the creative end of the fandom is *so* into the Clex that other characters get lost. And while I am used to that... I'd been waiting for this vid to happen. I needed *someone* to vid Chloe and ::squeal::

I'm sorry, I'm not very helpful with feedback right now, you have *know* idea what this vid means to me. Seriously. I am very very happy right now.

You also said all the things about Chloe I never could have said... so thank you. And thank you for doing this and putting it out there and finishing it so quickly so I didn't go crazy waiting for this vid to happen and...

God I'm like a hyperactive twelve year old right now. OKay... actual feedback. I have two favorite parts of this vid. My favorite is the ending, with Chloe taking all the articles off the Wall of Weird. That is probably my favorite Chloe scene of all time and it just makes me sad watching it. That was such a profound moment for her character. Alicia showed her Clark's secret so that Chloe could do what she does, brodcast the truth to all of SV. And Chloe did the exact opposite. Not only did she not report the truth about Clark, she took him off the Wall of Weird. She's going to protect his secret while giving up a fundamental part of who she is.

My other favorite part is also towards the end, when inbetween all those scenes from Season 4, you show the clip of Chloe and Clark during Tempest and they are both smiling at each other and that's kind of bittersweet and they just look so adorable together.

I am also *all* about the scenes with her and Lionel. That was such an important part of this vid and was not out of place at all.

I still smile during the "I know" when you have that clip from Heat. That shows so much of her personality and even though this is kind of a sad story, Chloe's always going to be okay and shrug off and be optimistic and happy and that clip was just *so* very Chloe and *so* very perfect for that moment to break up a little of the drama. Which Chloe does a lot.

And as always... that clip from the pilot with her showing off the Wall of Weird was just too cute for words and I liked how well that worked.

God I am so happy about this video. I'm going to be watching it all day I'm sure.

Okay... I'm done now. Hehe.. I swear.

Eeeeeeeeeee!!! Chloe!Vid!!
