Dude, I really, really liked this! It's actually one of the best SPN vids I've seen. Everything was on beat, there were no stray clips, and the song (which I was unsure of at first) totally worked.

Seriously, nice job here.

*blushes fiercely* Thank you so much! I'm totally thrilled you enjoyed it! *dances*

You know how much I love this vid! I'm so glad you finally posted, now I can pimp you out like mad. *big cheesy grin*

Truly, excellent job.

I liked how you increased the pacing of the clips with the music (as well as how you listened to the minor repeat musical thread). I recommended this in my journal today.

BTW, another good upload site for streaming vids that a lot of fan vidders are using is iMeem. More here

Hi! Thank so much!! *bhg* Oh! And I'll have to look into that site! Thank you!!

[devidarkwolf.livejournal.com]

That. Was freakin' awesome. That made my Christmas just that much better. Intercutting is one of my favourite editing techniques, and you just used it perfectly there towards the end. Great work, superb timing! I love the boys in action, and this is just highlighting all of their awesomeness! :D

*blushes with a big huge grin* THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I'm so happy you enjoyed it!!! *dances*

It's awesome!
Kinda reminds me of the one angstslashhope did for S1 with Sweetest Perfection...There's just everything I love and more :)!
Well done ^_^!

This video was so good I thought that I might actually have a heart attack as it came to the end.
You did a killer job!

[dragonfly-sg1.livejournal.com]

*bg* Thank you! Thank you!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[dragonfly-sg1.livejournal.com]

...oh, and uh..sorry about the heart attack thing. lol ;)

It was worth it!

[saturnalia.livejournal.com]

Supernatural + Christmas music = CREEPY AS ALL HELL. At least, the beginning was creepy- after the electric guitar came in, it was more just "Wow, this is cool." Yikes, the bit with the clown gave me shivers though. Good song choice, and fantastic job at cutting it all together. (My only minor qualm would be the fact that it's a .wmv file- it would be wonderful if there was a higher quality version available too! But that's just my personal preference.)

[dragonfly-sg1.livejournal.com]

lol Yeah, it was an odd combination, I guess. Glad it worked out though! Phew!

*pouts* I can save it in a higher wmv file if you'd like and send it to you. Just let me know;) I don't remember what size it is on my site.

Here through the rec on the_reel. That was amazing! I loved how tightly edited it was, and how you built and sustained tension throughout. Excellent working with the instruments, too, like showing them as children in the tinkly bits.

[dragonfly-sg1.livejournal.com]

*bhg* Thank you, wolfpup! I'm thrilled you enjoyed it!!

[meri-oddities.livejournal.com]

Amalthia sent me this link. This vid is amazing. I was totally enthralled and couldn't look away. I loved the rendition of Carol of the Bells. Well done.

[dragonfly-sg1.livejournal.com]

Hi!! *BHG* Thank you very much! I'm really glad you liked it! Thanks to Amalthia too! *bg*

[meltingconfetti.livejournal.com]

This was excellent. I adored the music and the editing was spot on.

[dragonfly-sg1.livejournal.com]

Hi!! Thank you so much!! I'm glad you liked it and thank you for taking time to leave feedback!

[grand-sophy.livejournal.com]

Wonderfully paced, and exciting use of clips. I really liked having just the instrumental, and the unexpected urgency of that version of the music. Thanks for sharing.

[dragonfly-sg1.livejournal.com]

HI! Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! *bg*

Came here via starrylizard's rec.

This is just THE most amazing SPN vid! I had chills from the creepy Christmas music and there were no faults with your editing at all!

I can't name anything specific that I liked about this vid, because every single second had me attentive. What you did well was raising the intensity of the clips as the tempo of the music increased, the ending was really heart-pounding!

[dragonfly-sg1.livejournal.com]

Woohoo! Yay! I'm glad you liked it! *bhg* I'll be posting a new SPN trailer vid shortly--hope it doesn't disappoint. THANKS!!

[yourlibrarian]

Nice recap vid of the series! I enjoyed watching it. I also liked your approach too in Gotta Be, nice clip choices.

[dragonfly-sg1.livejournal.com]

Hi! *bhg* Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed them! *dances*

What more is there to say about this awesome vid - I kinda pimped it out over at Kawoosh seeing as how we may be merging a new SPN forum with Kawoosh.

Really nice editing and pacing. One thing I really like, not only in this vid but in an SG1 vid a while back is how you really listen to the music and take your cue from it. To me that's part of what makes a vid work harmoniously and you sure achieve it with this one. Nicely done!

[dragonfly-sg1.livejournal.com]

Hiya afterthought! Thank you! *huggles* And thank you for the pimpage. lol I'm really glad you liked this and the SG1 vid. ---boy doI miss Kawoosh. Hope everyone is doing good there.

Hi!
This vid has just been recced over at spnvidrecs here (http://community.livejournal.com/spnvidrecs/6013.html). Unless you'd rather opt out that means you'll be included in our "vid of the Month" poll at the end of the month.

What a wonderful vid! Such great editing! I'm still boggling that you were able to pull off Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Like wow. Great job!

[dragonfly-sg1.livejournal.com]

Wow! Sa-weet!Thank you so much! That sounds awesome! *dances*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_sharvie_/]

Forgot to mention to grab an "I've been recced" banner off our profile page if you like. This is a new thing we just started, so I keep forgetting things. Oops. :D

[dragonfly-sg1.livejournal.com]

SA-WEET! ..again. lol Thanks! I'll put this baby up asap!!!

[oschun.livejournal.com]

I’d like to use your vid to show my film studies class what fans are doing with vidding. I absolutely love Carol Of The Supernatural. The whole concept and the song are just awesome. You match the beats in the music with the visual action perfectly. There's something about the way the plane starts dropping at about 01:12 which I especially love. The lull at about 01:33 and then tinkling sound in the song matching up with images of the boys as kids, the clown etc and then the more menacing shot from Bloody Mary...wow. Just a great example of how editing can be used to match the pace/rhythm of a song.

[dragonfly-sg1.livejournal.com]

Wow! Really? Thank you! You sure did brighten my morning. lol

[sunrize83.livejournal.com]

I adore this vid! I had it saved but lost it in a computer crash. Anyplace I can re-download it?

[dragonfly-sg1.livejournal.com]

Hiya! Thanks! I don't have it anywhere to dl right now, but if I get a chance I'll toss it up somewhere for you. Thanks again!

[pathsforme.livejournal.com]

Brilliant vid! I love it!

[dragonfly-sg1.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
