First - WOW !!!! I just got Bangel goose bumps, watched the vid four times *sighs* good days.

Second - WOW !!!! Love that song and it fit perfectly with the whole idea.

Third and finally - WOW !!!! That was great, really good. Do you have any more?

I'm so glad you loved the song, it's an old favourite from my youth. Well you've gotta love a 'punk' band that references Cole Porter.

I'm working on an all seasons Wesley vid that's really making me appreciate Alexis Denisof. The man gives good facial expression. This one didn't make me think any better of Parker but it did revive that old Suprise/Innocence angsty goodness. Poor Buffy.

Hey--I'm glad to see a remake of this. I don't remember the first version very clearly, but I feel that adding more, um, Buffy/Parker in bed scenes and additional Angelus helped clarify the connection between two as users; the idea of Parker and Angelus "moving on" to other women (Drusilla, whatever other girl; Willow as connective tissue!) was much clearer as well.

The different aspect-ratio thing was actually helpful in showing which phase of Buffy's life was going on (I have very fuzzy memories of S4), although I suspect there must be other ways of highlighting this. In any case, I enjoyed watching this!

Thanks! I'm getting confused with myself now, but I think the overhaul in this post refers to changing a previous, previous cut which will never again see the light of day. Just let's say it was very, very bad. But I did change the porny section quite a lot so I'm glad if that worked better.

Aspect ratios, urrhg. If I could go back in time and kill one person I think it might be the guy who decided Cinemascope would lure people away from their TV sets back in the 50s. Isn't 4:3 supposed to be intrinsically pleasing to the human brain, the golden ratio or something? On my computer the whole thing looks fullscreen. I had figured that aspect ratios might look different depending on the player/OS/whatever so this is proof. Hah! And I think I do know what caused the difference.
