YAY NEW LAYOUT! *twirls*

[exsequar]

I was itching to put Danny and Rusty on my journal, but I was angsting about the prospect of abandoning my darling boys (Winchesters and McShep). Solution? Rotating headers! \o/ I knew it would take me years to make full blown separate headers for each pairing, so I just decided for simple and elegant - pick a picture of each pairing and doll it up a bit. So that's what I've done!

There are five different headers: Sam/Dean, John/Rodney, Danny/Rusty, Kara/Lee, and John/Aeryn. Yummmmy! You may notice that the coloring varies a LOT :P I made the Danny/Rusty one first, and I loved how it turned out, clean and bright. But then the other pictures I chose, with the exception of Sam&Dean, had dark backgrounds and that same coloring wouldn't work. I stumbled on that gorgeous multicolored texture in my files (by peoplemachines) and loved it, so the rest became vibrant and colorful. I loved them all, so I did my best to come up with a color scheme that would fit! Black background was a given, but the inside I wanted to keep bright and lively, so I went with white with red and blue accents. Too much black would have been depressing!

Go check it out, and don't forget to refresh! :D ---> exsequar

I'd love to know what y'all think :)

(I no longer haz a hebrew_hernia. *sad* But I will see her again soon yay! And she's hooked on SGA, also yay! \o/)

Thank you very VERY much for your honest feedback. ;) I think there's actually not enough of it out there. It makes me a little sad of course (and now I'm being honest with you) not just because the aesthetics didn't mesh with your vision of the song, but because I took it upon myself to sort of make a better video than that SPN vid. It's like a sparring session. I wanted to utilize my own vision for the song.

But anyway, thanks again fro showing it to me in the first place. I really am in love with Iron & Wine because of you. ;)

I think part of the problem is that I'm speaking from a very broad impression of the video. I can't rewatch while I'm at work to give you more detailed feedback. It was not a total failure by any means - you are a very skilled vidder. Another problem is that I have that SPN video deeply ingrained in my mind - it's PART of the song to me, and I kept seeing flashes of moments from it while I was watching yours. So I'm afraid I'm not the best person to audience it too!

I'm glad you took my feedback well, I got nervous that you would be really upset with me :-/

Believe me, I've gotten MUCH harsher criticism when I was at film school. And I dished out some harsh criticism myself. It helps you learn and be better.

And you're very much not obliged to rewatch it or anything. I was just curious because I never heard from you, and I thought you would have been curious to see it simply because if our positions were reversed, I'd certainly be curious. ;)
