"We hide our emotions under the surface and tryin' to pretend, but it feels like there's oceans between you and me." From a tumblr prompt by Suchaneutralgood. Twitter: / xxfoomaticxx
I watched it for the second time and now I realized that 1) It starts colorful then colors fade 2) This is their story from end to the start. such an amazing video.
Oh my actual god. This just DESTROYED me. You are a gift from the Clexa gods and I can't believe how you manage to put together these devastatingly beautiful masterpieces. To see them like this go from the end right back to the beginning and feel them slipping away from each other, ultimately oceans away. You fucking nailed it. I am a goner. You paint these amazing stories and then you smash our tiny already broken hearts all over again. And I love it it all. Don't stop.
Nah man, YOU hit the nail on the head. That's exactly what I was going for; I'd been listening to that song for ages and finally found use for it with the "Clexa story in reverse" prompt. The idea that as they move back in time the "oceans between you and me" just grow and grow . . . I couldn't have found a more perfect song to illustrate that concept, which I hope I was able to convey, yes? I wanted to challenge myself and try a crazy different approach to their story. :)
I think it's hard to imagine that another couple will capture us like they, but I'm hoping someday there will be and we can all look back fondly on Clexa and realize what a gift they were. Thanks for watching!
So beautiful, another amazing video as usual. I've been pretty strong lately but this one just hit me with major Clexa feels and now I'm crying. I miss them so much 😭💔
very cleverly done, going backwards in combination with the song beautifully highlighted their story. Again you smashed it but I've come to expect nothing less from you and your work.... Bravo!!
Do not ask me why, (probably in my haze of trying to get through Lexas death) I stumbled on your vids a few months ago and have been meaning to send you a comment. But your vids are so visceral and real and give you so many damn emotions. This one with "oceans" and Hoziers "Work Song" are my favs, how the lyrics and scenes just ebb and flow together. You should go into film editing or something. But again, love your vids, you do an amazing job!
This is so amazing and so sad. The way it starts in colour and fades to b+w is such a good touch. It shows how different their worlds were when they first met, and how far they came to get where they were by 3x16. Thank you for yet another amazing video
I loooove, loooove, love how backward this's. Here I am still in awe with their dynamic. Like how out of this world can you two be? Stay grounded y'all
This is so good! The reverse chronological order, the colored to black-and-white set, the quotes you chose... Ugh, it's amazing! All amazing. And you could have used a song that would destroy us too with sadness but this one was the perfect one because it represents clexa but it's not too sad. Anyway, another amazing video.
I dunno, the angst in this song just chokes up my heart sometimes, because it's so them! I feel like the reverse chronological order is my big movie twist/M. Night Shamalan moment for this vid, can you tell me when you realized that was happening?
Hi there! I hope you're enjoying your stay! Can I ask how you found my channel? I'm always curious as to how people end up here, lol. Thanks for watching!
Hi! I made a search on yt with some key words & I found a video from you so I was curious about your channel! I think you could be my Clexa shelter lol but I can't watch all your vids. Thanks for the answer :o)
"We hide our emotions Under the surface and tryin' to pretend But it feels like there's oceans Between you and meI want you And I always will"OMG the lyrics and your video. You kill me but I love pain. Really like how you're showing their moments in reverse. Extra feels somehow. You brought it back to the beginning. It hurts so much because that's all they have and so much potential for more beautiful moments. Okay I made myself tear up. Thank you once again.
THOSE LYRICS STAB ME WITH A FORK BECAUSE I AM DONE. I would always come back to this song but it wasn't until this backwards storytelling concept was given to me that I realized how I wanted to us it. Thanks for watching!
hi foomatic, i just want to let u know how awesome i think your videos are! making vids has been a hobby of mine for years, we'll before youtube i use to make vids with 2 vcr's and a cd player lol and even though I've been doing it for years, I've never had the patience or dedication to create anything like what you put out. I'm so glad there are vids out there like the ones you produce, because i truly love watching them and they inspire me to try to put in the time and effort to make great vids that others can enjoy. thank you 😊
There is a really cool fanfiction waiting in there somewhere in your backwards story telling. Wouldn't that be a cool story? We just need someone creative to fill in the blanks.
a video to "river" by bishop would be cool! there was this awesome video to this song but it got deleted somehow...i bet yours would be at least as good😉
You mean this one? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Mq9QO3hqL38.html I can't perfect perfection, lol. The vidder nailed it and I have no illusions that I can make it better. That's one of my absolute favorite Clexa vids.
