Hi I'm fairly new here and I have been experimenting around with videos on movie maker. I would very much appreciate any comments to be made on my work. Plus I'm actually have problems getting them to a small file size, if anyone has any comments to help in that area, please email or PM me, thanks. I'm always welcome to suggestions for new songs for a video, I love making them! ;D. Give me a shot, here's the link to my site where they are, www.geocities.com/claire3182000/thanks for visiting.

Thanks for that, it's nice to know you liked the layout and that. I'm sorry about the download thing and I'll keep trying my best to work on that. Took me a while to find programs to capture the clips, so once I say I'll do something I won't stop till I've found a solution.
Thanks for the post nice to see ppl taking an interest! ;D

Yes, of course you should continue. I also know that from personal experience that many more people will download your music videos than those that will post and say so. From what I've noticed, a lot of people are shy about posting sometimes, but, that they are always apperciative about fanwork including music videos.

Thank you for your words of encouragement ML Fan, and thanks to someone who wishes to remain anonymous, for emailing me and telling me how to get my file sizes down. Cause now I have a vid I have almost finished that was too big to save at 92MB, but now I can so that will be up soon.
I can see that people are downloading and even though you are keeping quiet I really hope you are enjoying them!
I have about 10 more songs I want to attempt so, I'll be making them soon, fingers crossed I don't all of a sudden get busy though.
Anyway for those of you who maybe couldn't download my videos cause they were too big I have now just updated my site with the new smaller sized videos, please go take a peek, I'll be very grateful. ;D

I just watched "Give It Away" and I really liked it. I downloaded the big one a few days ago and it is so good. I know I was smiling all the way through it. I haven't watched the other one yet, but I shall. I hope you do more, I think you really have a talent for it. Peeps on a dial-up can always start downloading when they go to bed and it will be done when they wake up.

Thank you so much Aerie for your kind words of encouragement. ;D. I'm so happy it made you smile, cause now that's making me smile, loads. The Linkin' Park one was my first shot at a fast song, a challenge from my friend, so I tried my best with getting the clips to match the beats of the music but not so sure on the outcome. You can judge for yourself on that one. I absolutely love making these music videos, so when people say they are enjoying them too I'm a very happy person. If you have any songs you would like me to give a shot at I'll be happy to oblige, I love all types of music, and the more experimenting the better. I have nearly finished two more songs, my favourite songs every at the moment. "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls and "Everything" by Lifehouse. I hope when they are up they are as much received as these ones were. Thanks you again!

Okay so I finally downloaded the videos (I should never say I’m going to do anything on a certain day because it means I never will ) and let me just tell you what I predicted in advance, they are really good! All of your concerns about not getting reviews over them were completely unfounded. Okay now that I’ve said that, I want to point out I have no idea what else I’m supposed to say (I’m thinking this may be the problem with people reviewing, videos are totally different to review than stories). The music and the scenes went really well together, they totally drew me in and they all went seamlessly from one scene to the next. (I’m such a tv person, I’m used to staring at a screen and not having to comment later, it’s so sad). Umm…how about I really liked the shots you used (especially Give it Away), they were a nice group of varied scenes (and wow Logan has soooo many beautiful looks and JA was totally at her most beautiful at the start of the series, which is totally unfair to look that good natural). Okay that’s about as technical as I can do, now let me totally ramble about Give it Away. I liked Easier to Run but Give it Away is totally addictive, I think I just watched it like 5 times in a row and will start it again when I’m done with this, (the song and a few scenes are totally replaying in my head right now though). Okay so this video just totally made me fall in love with DA all over again, I just got such a pang of longing for the show, I’m totally stuck on all the potential that never got to be actualized and now I’m sad (actually it’s a weird sad, it made me hyper, I blame the dance beat). I want someone to write a story that goes along to the mood of that video. Oh god I don’t even know what it is exactly, but I want it. Aww seriously I miss DA now and it’s not the kind of miss that’ll be fixed by watching the dvds. I want more, I want everything they were promising us and didn’t live up to! Seriously, someone needs to write something that goes with this. Okay hitting play again. Oh and warning, I think I may be hating you in a bit because I think this song may be getting stuck in my head.

You don't understand how happy I am right now, I can't even remember the last time I smiled this much. ;D ;D ;D You have so made my day. As a matter of fact you inspired me even more to get my ass moving on the next one as soon as possible. I'll be doing that later, and once I start it's hard to get me away till it's finished, once stayed up all night to get one done. That's unless movie maker decides to play up on me. That can be a real bugger. Anyway I have a little surprise planned for this next one, took me ages to get just right and I hope everyone likes it. This one will be a bit bigger in size like round about 23MB cause of the size of the song, so I apologize in advance. And hope it doesn't cause problems for anyone. You said you didn't know what to say, but you said it perfectly Mia22, thank you so much. Guess cause I did media as an A Level, I know a bit too much about breaking down the anaylise of television. I can't believe the responses I have received they are so welcoming, which means there will only be more coming this way. Which is a shame cause now my writing and drawing will lag a little. I so need to work out a schedule in doing things, but knowing me that wouldn't work cause like you Mia I should never say I'll do something on a date cause most of the time it never works out that way. Shame I can't freeze time or something, put life on hold. Aww you are so nice to say that you think someone should write a story along the lines of "Give It Away", that makes me so happy I can't describe in words. I'm a huge fan of those little looks both give but go unnoticed by the other, the look Logan gives her in "Give It Away" after handing her the poem, makes my heart weep. You will see a lot of these looks and I even spotted some in S2, and I know most of you hate that but I can't not put them in. I got that sad weird feeling when I was making it, but now I've heard and went through the whole process with making it, it seems to have gone. I am never happy with what I produce, so I'm always striving for better. Guess that can be a good thing hey? If you ever wanted to write something to go with this I'm positive you of all people could pull it off. No pressure it's up to you completely I know you have your hands full. But I would defiantly be honored. PS sorry bout getting song stuck in your head

Hi, I joined this board awhile ago, but I've been lurking up until now. I usually get quite busy off and on with that little thing called life, so I never know if I'm ever going to get the courage to post- but I seriously love DA...and well...here I am... Anyway....I just wanted to say how much I absolutely adore your videos! They're simply wonderful and I am really impressed by your ability to convey everything so well. I was totally feeling the range of emotions in them and they flowed together quite nicely. Just amazing. I also thought the scenes fit well with the lyrics. Makes me miss those good old days with ML, but I keep telling myself that's why we have the DVD's and can keep reliving all these great moments whenever we want. Thanks so much for bringing some cheer to my day with these!!!

Hey Afterglow, to get a compliment of you is just amazing. I love your vids as you well know. A cheer to your day, I'm over the moon right now. I know completely what you mean with the whole life getting in the way of enjoying and getting to do everything you want. I have a list of reviews I need to get done for stories I have read, but haven't had the chance to do one for like 4 months now, how sad is that? And I ain't gonna get started on my own stories, . I'm glad people think that they flowed nicely and the linking of music is very important to me. For my first shot at making videos you've all made me a very happy person! ;D (I do actually look like that right now).

I finally watched " Easier to Run" and really liked it. I know, just a smidgen of Logan but I enjoyed it anyway.Max is a wonderful character, and Jessica did a perfect job bringing Max to life. Your video showed some of the best scenes, and I found it quite intense. So intense that I couldn't tell if the music matched up with scenes, even though I watched it twice. ;D ;D Each time when it was over I breathed a sigh of relief. Am I nuts or what?
