What a way to start the summer -- with a THRILL RIDE!!! :heart: :clapping: :cheering: :highfive: :notworthy:

I love this whole video! :hearts: The clips were perfectly chosen. They do indeed tell a "romance-and-action" story. :melts:

That song is so catchy. :phones: I love how the shots of the moon at the beginning change in time to the music. As always, you did a great job matching scenes with the music.

The special effects at the end of the video are awesome. The backwards-L-shaped flashes of light make it seem like we are flipping through a stack of photographs. :notworthy:

Fantastic work, Shadow! Thank you! :hug: :rose:

Holy...Shadow, you never cease to amaze me with your vid work.

Watching this, I kept thinking, this song HAD to have been written to tell the Moonlight story! The lyrics fit so perfectly to the series, and you did--as always--an absolutely masterful job in putting the clips with the music.

:notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

BOOM!

I always work out my vids by listening to the songs while driving, but I had to be reeelly careful not to get too carried away while doing this one! Thanks so much Alle!

This. Is. Superb.

First, the music is very Moonlight and speaks to Mick's journey wonderfully. The clips you've chosen and the pace you set them at gives the feel of being swept along and propelled forward by the story, even when the viewer might like to linger and one or two of the nice, warm moments.

Rather like life.

All in all, stunningly lovely and I agree--the story is just beginning!

Thank you!

Jenna

Thanks so much Jenna! I love how you mentioned how the pace of the vid kept the viewer from lingering on some of those special moments . . . it was really hard sometimes to cut my favorite clips so that they would fit the music. :snicker: I'm not used to making such fast-paced vids, but this was a lot of fun so I'll probably try making more! :thanks:
