Me, myself & I - Sweet Charity Vid | Xena: Warrior Princess | Devotion

Ooh. Very, very cool.

nicely done.

Gab and Xena is love! I love your use of nature shots (flowers and moon and waterfall), it's a bit symbolic, isn't it? It's soft but fierce, like their relationship. Thank you, this video cheered me up :)

I'm one of those people who stopped enjoying Xena when the show started to turn dark, but this used many of the elements I disliked in the source in a really beautiful way. The song choice was fantastic. There were many facets to Xena that I felt lacked cohesiveness, but here you've tied them all together smoothly, and really captured the X/G relationship.

This video makes me want to watch the show again, from beginning to end. Bravo!

Oh, that's seriously awesome.:) I love the rhythm and feel of the clips. Really draws you into the scope of the story. And I should tell you, I'm a huge admirer of your "Boom Boom Ba" video as well, I spent most of this fall watching it at least every other day on my laptop while I cook dinner.:D I didn't reawlize you were on LJ. Hope you don't mind I've friended you.:)

Oh, this was so worth waiting for. My thanks to killabeez for getting you to vid Xena again. Since I'm a little bit familiar with the source(*g*), I'm going to attempt feedback beyond my usual, "OMG, you're awesome. This is the awesomest awesome that ever was awesomed!" :)

I love the opening sequence. It really sets the stage for who Xena was and the quick flash of young Xena reminds us of where she came from. The montage of her riding Argo gives the feeling of her riding away from her past. Here are a few of my favorite moments.

Gabrielle with Hope, then Xena, then the explosion(Dahak's temple?) played over the lyrics, "Blood runs thick and when it rains, it pours."

The scenes from "Remember Nothing" followed by the lyrics, "Gave it up for a love that won't be defined."

The shooting star timed to the cymbal crash.

Xena being betrayed by Caesar over the lyrics, "Building fences for no gain."

The end sequence where you make it appear they're riding towards each other.

So, in a word, AWESOME! ;)

Oh, this is beautiful! You really make the footage look gorgeous, and I love how you capture the Xena/Gabby relationship.

This was absolutely gorgeous! I liked how Xena's journey was highlighted and all the moments that showed the intensity of the X/G relationship. The music/lyrics worked beautifully as well as the rich colors and landscapes. I really want to go back and watch both the vid and the show again.

I really, really wish I had a play counter on this vid, because I think it would be sort of hilarious to find out exactly how many times I've actually watched the various versions. However many it is? It's a lot.

This last time, I realized that I don't think I ever mentioned to you how much I adore what you finally came up with for the line "haven't much need to look for work." I always adored that line for Xena, and you nailed it. That shot of them on the ramparts was exactly the episode I was thinking of, and I love the sword going back in the sheath, and that you found a perfect spot for Boadicea.

Um, I have to go to bed now. Must... stop... watching... vid...

Wow! All I've ever seen of Xena before are somewhat awesome/cheesy action sequences, so you might imagine my surprise when this vid turned out to be luscious and dramatic, tough and tender. You worked magic with the source---it looked like a feature film on my computer. In fact, the whole vid had the pathos of a feature film.

The storytelling was so good that I feel I can really get a sense of narrative without knowing the source.

Beautifully done!

What I love best is how you ranged over the whole series. Or maybe what I love best is how much of the love you show. Then again, maybe what I love best is that this vid makes me fizzingly happy.

Yes, that's what I love best; all of that.

This is fabulous. It makes me want to go back and rewatch the show. I love how it's totally about their relationship and also just who they are. ♥

Oh this is so THEM! Beautiful work.

Beautiful vid. I love the way you edited the clips to the lyrics. Wonderful job!

Oh, wow. That was awesome. :->

EEEEEE! Another Xena vid from Charmax! With an Indigo Girls song! I already know how awesome this is gonna be! (And I am not disappointed, no indeedy, not in the least!)

This was splendid! I have wanted a Xena vid to this song for years, and this was just perfect! Thanks for doing it, and sharing it.

I've never watch Xena and don't know the song but this was an incredibly beautiful edited vid :) I enjoyed the lovely imagery, mixed with the emotional scenes, and the seemless flow of the whole thing. I've never fancied watching Xena and although I've enjoyed your previous Xena vid's (loved boom boom ya) this one has made me want more. I'm going to add season 1 to my dvd club watchlist now :D This is from Sassy by the way xx

I don't watch Xena, although I want to some day, but the pacing and editing of this vid were just amazing. I loved it!

Wow! Another wonderful Xena vid. Thanks for sharing!

I'm here on data_warrior's rec (over at IJ) and I just watched the streaming version -- I loved it so much that now I'm downloading the hq version. You did a spectacular job with this! (And now I need to go watch me some Xena.)

Wow, I don't remember the show being this gorgeous. You did such a fantastic job of drawing on a kind of soft, tender beauty without compromising the inherent fierceness in vidding a group of warrior women. I liked that Gabrielle's (I hope that's her name) introduction was slightly delayed; it was nice to get a feel for Xena on her own first. And I know you're probably sick of me praising your cross-dissolves but there are some really beautiful ones in here, especially starting around 2:52. Awesome work, I'm off to go watch it again!

Hi, I'm a vidwatcher who is trying to get better at leaving feedback. : )

I just watched this vid three times in a row, and it makes me so, so happy. And it's not even my fandom, I've never watched Xena, but the vid just leaves me with a warm, glowing feeling. It's lovely.

♥

I know Xena more through watching vids than through watching the show, so I probably missed some of the nuances of this narrative. it feels living-room-viddish, as well it should. but I can appreciate the sheer epic sweep of it. you put together so many gorgeous and heartbreaking moments between them -- there's one sequence in particular, short clips of them together, that's everything I love about the potential of Xena.
