One of the few OUAT videos that show what family is really about. The love and the courage to do the difficult things. You captured all these beautiful moments.
(3) But anyway, thank you so, so much for the amazing comments. I'm just blushing so much right now, you wouldn't believe! xD I don't think I'm very good at effects, so I tend to agonize over my lyric matches (some were really obvious, but some, like "days grow longer and nights grow shorter" took way more thought.) So I'm really glad you thought the vid held its own without being flashy at all! :P
OMG! This is so beautiful! I LOVE that you included Graham! I was SO devastated when he died but then super happy to see him in the finale. I'm so glad you used those scenes, he totally deserves it. I have tears in my eyes right now this is so incredible! The "even if saving you sends me to heaven" with Charming dying saving Emma! Aww, so sweet! And perfect for that part! Then Henry saving Emma by eating the apple and the Snow reading matches. Such an incredible video! So many amazing moments!
SO MANY FEELS!!!!!!!!!!! You hit every note perfectly, down to the very end. I was so hoping you'd use the Henry/Turnover clip and you DID and that and the Huntsman/Snow "send me to heaven" just sent me over the edge into a total rush of fangirl misty eyed delight. This video is just amazing and so, so, so perfect and of course Graham should be in there! He's the reason they're all FREAKING ALIVE!!! Just..so...so...so many feels right now that I can't think straight! Eeeeeee!
Aww this is lovely! And true so many people forget the importance of Graham, he changed so much! This is such a good song and not heard it for ages, it's perfect!
(Part 3/4) for the heavy beats worked really well, I was expecting more effects of some kind but you didn't end up needing them and it was still perfect, also it matched the lyric perfect there, I love the whole Henry's desperation for Emma to stay for that lyric, this song works so amazingly well for the whole season and all their storylines!! Thank you for this whole video!! One of the absolute best OUaT vids I've seen. Super impressive and memorable and just great in every way. ;) You rock.
Okay I'm gonna keep watching now... yes I love every single lyric match and I love that you included Graham because hey Emma/Graham is my #1 OTP for this show and I miss them/him so badly - and you're right, that fits the "When I see your smile" but also the continuation of that lyric with the "Tears run down my face" too - I love straight male characters crying on TV shows so much lol or even just tearing up and what Graham did there was unique and in between - barely crying - & it was perfect.
Beautiful video. The editing is wonderful. The scenes so fit the words, especially the smile part and saving you sends me to heaven with Graham. Excellent job. Also I love the Charming family. Love them and yep I think Graham should be a part of it too with Emma.
(Part 2/3) Anyway the whole video was epic. I love your pacing/editing and every single scene choice was so carefully chosen for the lyrics. All of the "even if saving you sends me to heaven" matches were perfect! I especially love the use of Prince Charming near the end of the pilot for that line, I don't think I would've thought of that one but it was perfect. ;) He was saving his baby Emma there and I love that scene so much. And gosh the climax with just using the movement of the car itself
It's so, so wonderful to get an in-depth comment like this. Seriously, I'm blown away and beyond flattered right now; you're just too kind! ^///^ I really put a lot of thought into making it, and I'm glad you liked it! :)
Can't. Stop. Clicking. Replay! This is absolutely awesome. I was, quite literally, moved to tears, though that may be because I rewatched the pilot not even an hour ago. Brilliantly and beautifully done. :)
I mentioned in the description that I kind of cheated. ;-) I'm really attached to the character, and he ended up doing so much for them that I felt like he belonged. And he fit some of the lyrics. But he gave up his heart for Snow, rescued Charming when he had nothing to gain from it, was the first person to stand up for Henry in Storybrooke, and was the first person in Emma's life that she ever fell in love with romantically, according to JMo. He's part of the story for me. xD And thanks! :)
I love this video and I'm so glad you included Graham into this after all I totally think Emma and Graham will be end game thus making him a part of the Royal Family eventually
Oooh, good point. I guess I meant more what tumblr calls the "Charming Family" but oh well. xD I love Regina, though, and I think I might have a good song for her (I haven't gotten to vid her yet!) So something like that might be coming out soon. And thank you. :)
(2) use "Royal Family" for Snow/Charming/Emma/Henry-specific vids, so I just ended up taking a leaf out of their books. xD (I think some are on my favs, actually, and they're brilliant!) And any combination of these five characters just devastates me--I love how the show focuses so strongly on family relationships. And agreed so much about Emma and Graham. Must...restrain myself...from going on about them for hours...
I wish you'd transcribed the voiceovers in the description. At the very beginning I already am having trouble understanding some of them lol... but I'm also already smiling reading the top of your description and that lyric you quoted and hearing the opening chords of this song and realizing what you vidded... I love this song and the Charming family so much (I have only seen people calling them Charming family, not Royal - the evil queen was royalty too I think so that might be partially why?).
Beautiful Vid. I wanted to mention that Regina is part of the Royal Family too. She's Snow's Step Mother, Emma's Step Grandmother, and Henry's Step Great Grandmother. By rights she should be in this Vid also...even if she is considered "Evil." I love the twistedness of this story by the way...It's hard to envision Regina as Emma's Step Grandmother...lol...
Whoa, oops--thanks for notifying me that the voiceovers aren't there! I'll fix that. >.< Vegas just seems to despise me as far as hear-able voiceovers go. They sound okay to me; and then I forget that that's just because I know what they are. xD And it's weird--because I see both names for the family about equally often, so I was so stumped on how to title this! (Good advice on putting Graham in the title; I'll do that!) But I've seen at least three of the most popular (4000+ view) vids (cont)
You should probably re-title this vid to be "Charming Family + Graham" instead of just "Royal Family" because it'd be more clear exactly what the video is going to be without people needing to read the description and really as soon as they click it. ;) And it'd kinda be more accurate too lol. And haha Mary Margaret reading to Henry in the finale, I just realized she's his grandmother. It's all so funny with the way she's too young. ;)
