Oh! the torture of having to watch this again so I can leave appropriate feedback! *sigh*
I really can't say enough about this one... but I'll do my best.
I'd entertained the notion of doing a trailer for this story *months* back. And I never did get more than about one clip in mind for how to portray the story.
You, on the other hand, wow! I never would have thought to create such a perfect representation of the event that tore their marriage apart! The flame (again with the flame, Wendy?
) over the various images that just flowed all together... I don't know... it's more a feeling you evoke than an intellectual response. The haunting music definitely helped to achieve that.
So there I am, stuck with this horrible feeling of angst from the angsty montage, and BAM!, Wendy hits me with the title card - When even love can't overcome grief - right in the heart.
Then I'm trying to console myself through the talking parts, and Wendy asks a question: Does the past rule out any future? Bah! Now she's really got me thinking there's no hope...
And the execution of the dance/benefit-thingy... just brilliant! I'm absolutely torn at this point, thinking about yelling at Lois and Clark to stop dancing with other people and just *talk* to each other!!
*sigh*
Heh... maybe I've read this story one too many times and it's affecting my perception of the trailer.
It's just so heartbreaking, and the trailer does an awesome job of capturing that emotion!!

)
