You're sharp. You're right. That's exactly what we did there. Flip the scene.* And, no, that's the only one. As to why...artistic license? Will that cut it as an explanation? I initially did it for variety (since most of us are used to seeing it over and over in vids in the usual fashion) but I left it that way and when I did try to change it back in one take ekny had gotten so used to it and wouldn't let me...also it sort of dovetails nicely from the previous shot of Nikki's raised fist as she's about to leave Larkhall (now there IS a tear glinting prettily and emotionally in her eye in that shot) lowering very gently to stroke Helen's hair in the next shot. <G>


* (whispers) Also just curious to see if anyone would notice.

This video was so good, it was enough to prompt me me to join just so I could heap more praise upon it! (Jeanna knows me from other stomping grounds, but showed it to me as she knows I also enjoy HAN)

Kudos to you both for what has to be the single best fan-made music video I have ever seen! :clap

Hey, that's my Sean. <G>

Thanks, babe. :hug2

He's a fine lad. A delightful fanfic author on another board I belong to (BAM) and doing a great public service in creating a new BAM (the couple Bianca and Maggie of the american soap "All My Children") clips access library website.

And thank you, jupp, for coming back and posting all those thoughts. <G> We appreciate it. :hug2

Thanks for that detailed breakdown, jupp, it's really great to have specific feedback on what you liked, noticed, didn't care for as much, etc. :)

msalt, as for the image-flip, although Jeanna originally did it either for a lark or because she was just Inspired (I tend to believe the latter), yeah, I wanted her to keep it for continuity--especially after I'd suggested we add the power-salute before it. Nikki's screen-left there as well as in the art-room scene, & it really felt like flipping it back to/leaving the 'original' shot would be jarring in terms of continuity. So although the flipped shot was risky because maybe IT would be jarring itself (as everyone's seen it 4,000 times [ok, ok, Iknow *someone's* gonna say: "only 4,000?"]), it felt like in the long run it'd blend better. And yes indeed, thanks for noticing! Actually, the fact that no one brought it up til now maybe indicates it did work as intended.

I also really like some of the smaller moments: for ex., we changed the order of the head-turns in Helen's S1ep3 interaction with Sean (didn't you say she was a lesbian/yeah so); used 1 & 3 early on, & then pulled the middle shot, which has a different tone of considering (and recognition--in the context of our usage) for later in the vid, as a sort of moment where we get to have Helen commenting on herself/her earlier self. Like Oh! she GETS it. ;)

I loved this video! Much more light hearted than your usual angst but brilliant in an entirely different way! My fave part was at 2:45 where all the officers and looking shiftily around. Nice use of the outtakes too!

I think that Karen may have "Had" an idea about Helen & Nikki in Series 2.

Remember the scene when Helen went to Nikki's Cell while Barbara was making the tea. Helen wished Nikki good night and she told "Nikki" how much she was looking forward to "reading" what Nikki had to say.

If you notice Karen's facial expressions, she knew that something was going on between them.

I also sensed that Shell knew something was going on. Remember in Series 1, Ep 9 when Shell made a crack to Nikki about "Her Miss Stewart."

Also in Series 2 Ep 1, Shell made a crack remark again about how "Your Little Guvvy" isn't coming back.

This video is so good! I love the play on "everyone finding out". Karen little are you kidding section, and with thomas too..., if you hadn't of seen the original setting of those scenes an outsider would think they were relelated ...pure genius!
