That was glorious, and bittersweet, and absolutely lovely. I'm off to watch it again!

From:

Eeee, glorious! Thank you! :)

From:

That was so lovely, and you picked the perfect bit of music for it :)

From:

Thank you! :)

I loved this. Very sensitively edited, beautiful clip choices, and a song that works perfectly. I'm all nostalgic for the show now. (:

Reccing it...

From:

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. And thanks for the rec! :)

From:

OH. MY!

A new B5 vid! And such an awesome one. Now I'm nostalgic, too, for one of my most favorite shows ever. You done it justice, there.

From:

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

If you're looking for more B5 vids, I've got a couple more from earlier this year: West of the Moon and East of the Sun (Sheridan/Delenn, "Sleeping in Light"-centric) and A House Divided (Talia's alternate personality).

This is utterly lovely. Perfect song choice, if not at all obvious, and the pacing of your cutting matches the song and subject so well.

Thank you.

From:

Thank you so much!

From:

vito_excalibur

I really enjoyed that! And now I'm all nostalgic.

From:

Thank you! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it. :)

From:

This was lovely! I'm particularly impressed by how you made the song choice work so well (it seems to me that slower songs must be harder to vid to -- to keep a sense of motion, I guess). I feel nostalgic now, too.

From:

Thank you! :)

it seems to me that slower songs must be harder to vid to -- to keep a sense of motion, I guess

I haven't yet vidded to a song that's really fast, but I've made vids to more up-tempo songs than this, and...for me, anyway, once I get over the feeling of, "Oh noes, I'm not cutting fast enough to keep people's interest!", a vid for a slow song will fall into its own rhythm just like a vid for a faster song. I found that the hardest part of making this vid was getting as many of the characters in the "Army of Light" into it as I could.

God. God. That was beautiful.

(B5 was the show that made me a fan of anything ever; to see that feeling that made me fall in love captured so perfectly here makes something in my heart seize with joy.)

From:

Thank you!

I just got into B5 about two years ago, but I've been more fannish about it than I have been for anything in as long as I can remember. There's just so much there to love!

From:

littlebutfierce

Here via

eisen. That was lovely! Now I would like to go watch the show again, heh...

From:

Thank you! I just completed a rewatch (well, minus S5), and I highly recommend it. :D

From:

<3!

From:

Thanks. :)

From:

That was great! I need to do a rewatch one of these months…

From:

Thank you! I just did a rewatch myself, and highly recommend it. :)

From:

Oh AMEN. Thank you for this!

From:

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

From:

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I whimped! It was lovely!

From: (Anonymous)

er, i whimpered. in a good, nostalgic, bittersweet way.

Oh my god, I just got to this page from a rec and I saw your song choice and I love you already. <3 I will probably love you even more when I actually watch the vid, but I don't know when that will be, so I am telling you now. LOVE.

From:

Wailin' Jennys! ♥ The moment I heard that song, I knew it had to be a B5 vid. It only took me a year and a half to get around to it... /o\

From:

elliptic_eye

Gorgeous, bittersweet nostalgia pie. ♥

From:

Nostalgia pie, yummy! :) I'm glad you enjoyed it.

From:

I already commented on LJ last month, but saw this again being recced, and came here to DW to tell you again, this is soooooooooo wonderful!!
the song, the clips, the way it totally tuned me in again in what i felt for B5.....
sighs.
if I could just turn back the wheels of time to get there again......

thank you so much again for this wonderful vid!

From:

Thank you so much! I really glad you like it. :)

From:

Very lovely. One of these days all your vids and fan fictions is going to make me give in and rewatch the damn series. ;)

From:

Reeeeeeewaaaaaaaaatch....

Thank you!

Really just lovely. You know, it struck me watching it this time how often space porn is cut to action-y, quick beat music, but how well it works set to something like this, really melodic and contemplative. I wish I could be more articulate than that, heh; I'm not exactly sure what point I'm making.

From:

Thank you!

For some reason, I tend to naturally want to pair space porn and slower music. I think perhaps I got really into the Voyager credits at a particularly impressionable age. (Yeah, the show kind of sucked, but man, their credits were PRETTY.)

From:

gods, you nearly had me crying, the song ......
made me feel so much, and so nostalgic, and gods, how much do I miss delenn and sheridan???!!
and the rest of the crew of B5....
I wish, I could be 12 again, and watch the entire sage and those 5 seasons with that kind of sense of wonder again..

From:

I'm so glad to hear it affected you so much, and especially that it brought to mind "wonder"...that's definitely something I was going for. :)

From:

nhpw.livejournal.com

This is just beautiful. It took me a couple of days to get around to, but it was worth the wait.

From:

Thank you! Glad you liked it. :)

From:

rivendellrose.livejournal.com

Okay... this vid makes me gloriously wibbly and happy. ♥ So pretty! So many perfect moments of music and image combining! Such a perfect little love-letter to the show (and such a good way of reminding me how very much I love it).

Beautiful work. Just beautiful.

From:

Thank youuuuu! I have seriously wanted to use this song for a B5 vid for more than a year, so I'm pleased it's come off well.

From:

diarmi.livejournal.com

I like it very, very much! Great work!!!

From:

Thank you!

Beautiful video. The music paired nicely with the scenes you chose and the way you ordered them.

From:

Thank you!

From:

oltha_heri.livejournal.com

Oh my god. I LOVE THIS. It makes me want to rewatch all of my DVDs BECAUSE I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH. And I love the sense of community it has that you captured here. And just, love. :D

From:

Thank you! I'm so glad to hear that you thought it captured a sense of community, as that was exactly what I was going for. :)

From:

huntress1013.livejournal.com

Very lovely. I really love the song and the unhurried editing makes it all a very sweet and nostalgic. Good job! Also I am in the middle of a Babylon 5 re-watch =)

From:

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the lingering shots; I always worry that it's going to feel boring/too slow when I let so much time elapse between cuts.

Rewatching! If you're interested in rewatching with others, I help mod a B5 rewatch comm at

beyond_the_rim. We're doing "Exogenesis" and "Messages from Earth" this week.
