My all time, number one favorite is your Firefly Night mvid. Much of it has to do with the haunting, captivating song sung by Lavelle. The main reason is your dramatic use of subtle, background dialog as the video and music plays on. You used this technique a bit in the retrospective mvid, but not at all in the Velvet Divorce mvid. I think your earlier use of the dialogue interwoven with the song and images is what sets you apart from others.<br /><br />Your earlier use of bleeding in dialogue in the previous mvids was so incredibly on in timing with the song, I missed it in the Velvet Divorce mvid. At the same time, however, I loved how you timed the crescendo of the music with the drama of the scenes, especially at 2:45 and 3:46.<br /><br />thanks, Ivn, for thrilling me yet again.<br /><br />Love, SoSquare<br /><br />Love you IVN!sosquarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17403267007940511184noreply@blogger.com
