I've had POI marked as a fandom to watch every since [livejournal.com profile] sockkpuppett started talking about it but I kept back-burnering it because it seemed really involved and I just didn't have any extra mental capacity for something that wasn't "Scandal."  I did vid review at VVC this year and when I received [livejournal.com profile] astolat 's phenomenal "When I Ruled the World" vid, that was it. All she wrote. Done. For future reference if you want me in a fandom? Make a dual pov slash vid. They are my catnip (which is interesting because I *rarely* make them).

Anyway, massive thanks to Luminosity for handholding as I watched every single episode (yeah, she rewatched so I had someone to fling emotions at) and also for helping me hash out if this vid was finished or was done or if it was actually done, done. I had even more beta help in the form of [livejournal.com profile] fan_eunice who really helped make this vid much more coherent, and [livejournal.com profile] sweetestdrain who was my Doesn't Watch the Show Beta, which quickly devolved into Drunk-Out-of-Context Beta and who probably gave me the greatest piece of feedback ever when she said  "I SUCK AND YOU'RE PERFECT AND YOUR HAIR HAS SECRETS!"**

That's it. That's the show.

**ETA: she was giving me her read on the vid, not her read on me. I don't think. My hair is actually pretty much an open book.

Oh my gosh, what an ideal song choice! I just love your clip lyric matches - like, 1:11 to 1:49 just had me holding my breath. So awesome!

AS;LKDJSKL;HD;FJKSHD;CK JOHN. Shooting all the kneecaps, punching out all the bad guys, busting through all the doors on his way to Harold BECAUSE JOHN IS HIS MAN. That collection of scenes in which John is basically ushering Harold through random danger situations is pure gold. AUGH.

Also, Finch's ~origin story is pulling on the ole heart strings as is, but that pitch-perfect moment at 4:01 nearly broke me. I'll take [livejournal.com profile] sweetestdrain's word on your hair having secrets because THIS IS BEAUTIFUL AND MAGICAL AND OMG THIS SHIP. ♥

FLAILS!!!!!!!!!!!PERFECT

[identity profile] sisabet.livejournal.com 2013-09-03 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
Aww, thank you so much. I'm glad so much of the vid worked for you!

And I think sweetestdrain meant her comment as Reese's POV in the vid, because she knows for a fact that my hair has NO secrets.

Thank you so much. I've been sitting on this song for a long time, waiting for another fandom to develop enough to use it, and it was during absolutedestiny's song choice panel at VVC that I realized... I don't actually have to do that.

Wow, this was...stunning. You made me cry! Halfway through I had to grab my cat and watch the rest of the video while holding her tight, sniffing in her fur. So touching. ♥

Oh my God, this is their love, perfectly condensed into vid form. I am flailing so hard so hard at their faces throughout, especially John's little rueful smile of "I am a broken man in love" <3 <3

So much love for this vid!!!

Great Vid. It worked on a lot of levels, not the least of which the lyrics were true. He's totally owned. :-)

Person of Interest! The National! My favourites! ♥

You made my morning.

One of these days I will be able to watch this vid without collapsing into a total mess. Today is not that day.

[identity profile] fitofpique.livejournal.com 2013-09-03 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
This is AMAZING. Oh my god, everything about it is perfect!

[identity profile] keiko-kirin.livejournal.com 2013-09-03 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I love this vid so much!! Perfect song choice! I love Reese's POV -- oh, Reese! It makes me flaily. Thank you for this.

[identity profile] mahaliem.livejournal.com 2013-09-03 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)
This was wonderful!

[identity profile] kelliem.livejournal.com 2013-09-03 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Fantastic! Thank you so much. This just perfectly encapsulates their relationship.
