This is unbelievably powerful. You overcame and deepened the song's original meaning, with lucid POV shifts and brilliant use of symbols and transitions. My knowledge of Xena is fleeting but I feel like I got everything you were trying to say here, and I am very much moved. Great work!

That was lovely.

Thank you!! This comment means so much to me! It's a vid very close to my heart (and five years in the making, as you might have seen on twitter...).

Also, I miss you and think of you often! Are you active on any platforms these days? I've been off and on with social media this year.

[frayadjacent]

Thank you!! :)

I'm still here on Dreamwidth, but not posting -- just commenting. I do sometimes tweet, too. I've not had time for a lot of fannish activity, but that's changing now as I'm stepping down from leadership of the Indivisible group I founded. Looking forward to vidding again, and reconnecting with folks!

[frayadjacent]

That's great! I've set reading and commenting more as my DW goal for now, rather than posting.

Awesome!
I haven't seen Xena since it aired, but this brought back a lot of memories (and some things I'd forgotten entirely). Your editing is amazing.

Thank you!

I was going to watch this, but then it says that the video is unavailable on youtube and there was an error when I downloaded and tried to extract the zip file...?

[frayadjacent]

Eesh, I had two typos in one entry! Thanks so much for pointing those out. They should be fixed now. (I assume the youtube problem was with the direct YT link, rather than with the embedded video? If it's a problem with the embedded video, then I'm not sure what the problem is, maybe YT is blocking it in your country?)
