Brief description: John says 'Don't be dead. Just for me' and Sherlock isn't dead.. Just for him

Review: This is a very sweet, melancholy video. I like the dark coloring and high contrast you used. The voice overs were chosen well and placed strategically throughout the video. Nicely done, and well thought-out video!

Brief description: Just a video to have fun watching! It is a gift for a vidder who won a contest I hosted so it have her favorite fandoms in it!

Review: Holy crap. This is hard core!! I absolutely love what you've done. I was so sad when it was over. You did an incredible job with the effects and with the editing. the cuts and changes in the effects matched perfectly with the rhythm of the song. I love the helter-skelter feel of the whole thing. Dark and awesome. Great work!!

REVIEW: Criminal

Vidder Name: BlurryAngel07
Video Name: Criminal
Link: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D1Tv8j2QxrA
Description: Tara can't help but be in love with Jax even if he is a criminal.

Review: So cool!! The cuts are so fast and well matched to the rhythm of the song. I like all the zooming and quick cuts. Nice use of split screen too. I can tell you put a lot of thought into matching the lyrics with scenes that made sense. The way you use similar effects (like the high contrast black and white) in several different places throughout the video is cool. It really ties the different scenes together. Well done!

REVIEW: Love the Way You Lie

Description: EJ DiMera and Abigail Deveraux have a very dark and tumultuous relationship.

Review: I like that you used a log of edits and effects. It wasn't so much it was distracting, but it was obvious that you put a lot of work into this. I love all the rotations and zooming. The whole thing was very visually interesting in addition to showing an interesting story between the characters. Very nice!

Brief description: Fandom: MCU
Summary: Despite all his personal failings, Loki's long game is still in session. Loki's family is the root of his alienation, the fuel for his rage and the love he denies.
Character Study: Loki of Asgard

Review: Excellent editing! I love the fast moving cuts and the use of effects and trasnitions to keep the edits moving with the song. The overlays are lovely and creative. You definitely capture Loki's mental state very well with this video. Very interesting and well-executed video! Awesome job!

Brief description: Detective Michael Britten (Jason Isaacs) was involved in a car accident that killed his wife and son, or did it? Every time the detective goes to sleep he awakens to find one of the two is still alive. Is it either waking reality real, or is Michael going crazy? Only his psychologists (he has a different psychologist in each reality - an Asian male in one, and a Caucasian woman in the other) know about his problem. His co-workers have no idea what's going on with him and his alternate realities are causing him some trouble.

Review: You did a really good job of displaying this character's emotions through your scene choice and editing. The editing was very clean, and scene choices well-planned! I can tell you spent a lot of time considering how to best utilize the lyrics and rhythm of the song. Great job!
