Oh yay, I have really been looking forward to the remaster of this one! \o/

... I don't see the download link on your vids page, though?

It's great to see it in better picture quality.

ETA: The DL doesn't work though, only the embedded. When I click on your site link I get a page saying "We are sorry, there is no such site." Is it temporarily down?

ETA2: I think the problem might have been that I tried to download it on a tablet, and the site somehow automatically redirected me to a non-existing mobile site (the URL started with m.). I worked when I accessed it with my laptop later.

Yeah, I can see the dilemma. I don't think it is anything in your code, it must be something weird the server does. I mean, non-mobile sites display just fine on my tablet, but even if I manually type the www.gwynethr.net I get redirected to the non-existing thing. But looking again I found out that in the setting menu of my browser there is a "Request desktop site" option I can click, when I'm on the error page and then the regular page displays, and that works fine then. I just hadn't been aware of that option in Chromium because I had never needed it before. So you can force it to display the normal site.

Gorgeous. One of my favorite things about this movie is that it features friendships of all kinds, between people who have things in common, and not, but those friendships are real and true, and important to Steve especially. This vid showcases that beautifully.

While it may have been a PITA to remaster, the cleaner visuals do make a difference--for all the explosions, there's a lot of subtle stuff going on, too!

Thank you! I know, it's really rare to have a movie where the friendships are all different and yet equally weighted, where you can see how they play into the main character's development. And it's even rarer, I think, to find a song where you can showcase that. I love these characters so fucking much.

It's interesting, too, in that the faces are farther away now -- with the correct aspect ratio, they're farther back in the frame, so I wonder if that changes the level of intimacy. It's always hard to tell when you're making the vid.

This movie, IDEK. It's just so full of amazing stuff.

Hmmmm...that's hard to say, I think. I, personally, don't find it less intimate because there's a more direct impact when it's not out of focus--the blur can force an emotional distance, too, even if it's closer up.

I think, if it didn't have the superhero stuff, critics would have labeled it as a top political thriller. Which is a very interesting thing for a "comic book movie."

Still so, so powerful! Great job. I'm glad you took the time and effort to redo it with the HD.

Aw, thank you! Yeah, I've never made a vid like that before, and I couldn't stand the thought of that being the only file there was to look at.

You're not invisible. And all your vids are gorgeous. This one is no exception. No one else matches the pics and cuts to the music quite as well as you do.
