Shadow - I am at a complete loss for words. This is absolutely stunning. I have chills and tears and no small measure of envy for your incredible talent.
Lucky told me she had suggested this song to you and I knew it would make an amazing video -- but this is so far beyond my expectations. Somehow you manage to breathe new life into images we've seen over and over and to evoke the deepest emotions with them even now. I am in awe.

Re: My Body is a Cage
When I suggested this song to you, I thought you'd make a good vid with it. I was wrong.
This is a great vid.
I was in chills, most of the way, and when I got to that pause during the footage of the re-turning, I completely lost it.
This is perfect.
Thank you so much. Thank you so, so much.

Re: My Body is a Cage
It's a funny thing...every time Shadow posts a new vid, it shoots right to the top of my favorite Moonlight vids list.
Every time, I think, well, she won't top this one...
And then, she does.
I just watched again, and I am just as blown away...this is epic.

Really nice!
As always, I love your use of other material outside of the 16 episodes to complement what we have and know.

Bummer.
I couldn't get either one to play.
Hope this is just temporary, as this sounds just fabulous.

Re: My Body is a Cage
WOW Amy this has left me stunned. I was holding my breath and didn't realise it until the end. Girlfriend you are a master at taking an unknown piece of music and paring it with familiar images of our Moonlight and creating something completely new. Love your use of dialog inserted into the perfect points of this creation.
I LOVE ♥ LOVE ♥ LOVE ♥ your work...please don't ever stop...yours is a talent to be admired and respected in this community. You keep Moonlight fresh and new every time you make one of these videos.
Thank you so much

...and thank you Lucky for requesting this so that Amy can keep working her magic

I was thrilled to get Lucky's suggestion - it's simply an extraordinary song and it's so perfect for Mick, so very emotional in itself. I'm very glad that emotion carried across into the video!

That makes me very happy!
This is probably the most powerful song I've ever used for a video, and I couldn't help being a little worried about doing justice to it. But I was really pleased with the way it came out. The song itself helped so much in putting it all together.
Thank you again for the fabulous suggestion.

I think it's gonna be pretty hard to top this one, though . . . this song itself is epic!

Thanks so much, Rhonda! Something about the hugeness of this song just seemed to call for a little extra material. I'm really glad you liked that.r1015bill wrote:Really nice!
