I really loved your vid.
I wasn't sure if I'm capable of hearing that song just one more time, but your vid made me so!!
Like Nebulan said, your timing was great and your choice of clips as well.
I like the way you used different themes for the different parts .
Well done!

I just watched this again and apparently I miss a lot the first time! Love the timing, and your clip choices! I like how we interpreted different
parts of the music differently, your choices were very emotional and powerful, I love that!

First off I'd like to say well done. I liked how you chose themes for the sections and the overall timing. My mor detailed feedback follows.
What Amazing entry sequence, It sort of felt like it was all happening at once insted of over several episodes.The transition clip at 31-32 was great,
but why did it flash to black fo a second?
The mood upon changing to the next second was nailed so well. The the build in tension was amazing. My favourite scene was at 47 when John turned the
jumper light on perfectly in time. Then Agian where you have the entire team flash by stareing in awe, as the vid goes on to show atlantis flying.
Very well done, that sequence also felt seamless.
I really liked the part at 58 when the light flashes right to the beat, how long did that take? Then right after with all the synchronized flashes and
explosions.Loved It.
The next amazing part with the cybal crashes, what a great job, and agian at 132 when Weir putts her headin her hand right on time, so awesome.
At 1:56-1:58, I loved how the camera shakes reflected what was going on in the music. A perfect clip choice. Right after that secuence though there is
a randomly placed, or so I thought, Explosion. Why is it there it does not seam to fit the music, is there some hidden meaning?
I really like the spot at 2:22 with Rodney doing this fading this to the music, how did you manage that?
My favourite part overall was the end, the timing was amazing, the clips well suited and the music beautiful.
Although what I don't get is why there is other music during the trailers (credits), I thought that adding outside music was against the contest
rules.

Oh, wow. That was gorgeous. I love the buildup of tension in the first bit, and then the sense of wonder with the city in the second bit. And all
the rest fit really well, also!
The transitions from team member to team member timed with the music was just beautiful.
Well done!

Before answering that, I just want remind you of something so that it is clear... (just in case you haven't realize, but I am sure you have )
'Responsible' (the vid title) is the key to everything. You should ask yourself while watching the video, who is responsible? (quite obvious!!)
Responsible of what? How they feel about that responsability? and you can go on as long as you like, but you get the idea!
So ... the explosion at 1:58 goes with the one at 1:22 and 1:40. It just shows that the city suffers their presence once again. I should admit that
maybe the music wasn't fitting too well, but the vibrations just before that (just like every vibrations in the vid) are the result of the city
'wounds'. The reason why it vibrated so hard this time is because they intentionally destroyed a part of it. After that, they've realize just how
far gone they really are and regret it. So that explosion was necessary but, like you said, maybe I should have put it better.

And for the credit song being different :\ , well ... I ... I don't know... I kind of thought that since I used it only in the credits part, and
because it is not part of the 'montage' I THINK it is not against the rules. But I didn't want to break the rules if I did, I am really sorry  . I put it there to kind of explain what happen in the vid, well at least ...
left a clue of the title selection, to kind of replace the voices and the texts I wanted to put at first.
I hope it help you (and others) understand it better. Thanks for the good points and ... the bad, it really helps me to get better! And thanks also
to all the others who also left a comment

Oh I get it now. The video's about resposibility, hence the title. Gosh I can't believe I didn't relize that. Thank you for clearing that up.

Aw c'mon everyone, this song is fantastic! I can listen to it over and over and over again. 
Okay, my apologies if I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but I don't know SGA too well, and I'll try my best to comment. These are going to be "as I'm watching" blow by blow comments.
The opening is fantastic! I love that thing popping. Was that Ronon?
I like the clips with the diving. They fit real nice.
~ 0.32 Good feel of the clips with the change in music!
Real nice build up of tension to the next change.
~1.14 Love that timing of Shep to the cymbals
Then the explosions to the next cymbal clashes.
And then Weir drops her head into her hands at the next one.
Okay, let me just say that the rest of the video is full of really great timings and effects and transitions and matching the music and fitting the
mood and... LOL
The added song at the closing kind of surprised me but additional watchings I feel it fits okay.
Fantastic video and I'm glad you made it in time too!

The timing was great, but to me, the clips in the beginning seemed a bit random. Just the flow of one to the next, like at 2:54, from fighting the
wraith in a dark scene, to in the middle of a field, a bright scene.
Cool video still!

Well, I am glad you liked it but I am sorry that you liked it mainly
because of the timing. I would have like that you appreciate it in part because of the meaning behind it too. You are not the only one who do not
understand it the way I am and I realize that maybe it isn't too obvious either.
I am not going to explain the whole thing the way I see it, if you are to watch it again, but I will tell you the main idea behind it.
Like I said to Korat, everything is about responsability. I used different 'themes' for every parts of the song to show a progression of
the weight, of the burden of it.
However it is normal you feel like the first part is a bit random because it is a little random indeed . But I wanted to show mostly the tension that have been taken back at the end. But I wasn't really expecting
anyone to understand it that way. I know it is a deep analyse.
As for that part (2:54 and the scene after), I have wanted to show that they are facing the problems together no mather what. Ronan and Ford fighting
the Wraiths together and then Beckett and McKay in front of Weir courageously facing something.
Anyway, thanks a lot for your comments and your honesty , I appreciate it a
lot, it makes me realize that it is not because I see things one way that others sees it the same :\. Thank you very much (sorry for the length  )

Well, here I am, finally leaving the proper feedback I promised you. ^_^ The timing at the rocky beginning and then at the more calm middle is great.
I loved how at 1.18 and then again at 1.21 you used explosions to accent the cymbals in the music. I also liked the "friendship montage" starting from Sheppard offering Ronon his hand in Sateda. Nice team
moments. I think I get the "responsible" meaning. Most of
it, anyways.
Dude, the loud "responsible" music at the endalways makes me jump, hehe.
Good vid! ^_^

I really thought you had indeed forgot to leave a comment, glad you keep your promises, Thanks a lot for the nice feedback, it is really appreciated (even if it is late ). I am also very happy to see that you saw the "responsible" meaning. Sorry if the credits made you jump, it
wasn't really the purpose, but I still find it kind of funny, no offense !
Finally, I am glad you liked my vid. Thanks!
Oh and... while I am there... I loooove your avatar! Everytime I see it, I can't help but smile. I love all those Atlantis men (radek a little less,
but still!) LOL

I like very much yours movies !!
You known how play with music and pictures and you have a good synchronisation for that.
The music is good and cool for Stargate.
Very pro !
AtlantisCalling = I like the "Help me"
Responsible = Je me reconnais dans tes clips et ils me parlent, bravo !
In The Eye Of Storm = Nice movie "parfaitement maitrisé" maybe the quality video that is poor but it's just a detail and your
video is wonderfull.
I'm waiting yours next movies !

@ ppatoc
Tu as vu tous mes videos et tu les as tous commentés???  wow, je suis
touchée! Je suis également touchée de voir que tu les aimes aussi.
Malheureusement, tu devras attendre un peu avant de voir un autre de mes videos, parce que je suis très occupée ces temps-ci. Habituellement, il n'y
a que quand je décide de participé à un challenge qui réussit à faire un peu de place dans mon horaire chargé pour que je puisse faire un video. Mais
j'aimerais tellement sortir mon premier video qui ne participera pas à un challenge. Mais ça ne sera pas pour bientôt, alors je suis désolé (je suis désolé pour moi-même aussi!)
TRANSLATION: You've watch all my vids and comment it all??? wow, I
am touched! I am very pleased you liked them also!
Sadly it may take a little while, before another one from me will shows up, because I am very busy those days. Normally a challenge is the only thing
that is able to make some room in my schedule to make a vid, but I would so love to release my first off-challenge vid. But it won't be any time
soon! Sorry (I am sorry for me as well!)
