Hey Folcs smile

Gosh, it’s almost a year since I posted the last vid. But I couldn’t resist the wonderful “Coming of Age” by stopquitdont. That’s my very first trailer and I never realised the huge differences between trailers and music videos. Anyway, I hope you like it.
This is kind of dedicated to my great beta-watcher and very good friend Laramoon who kept asking about progress and giving encouraging comments. If I had received more help from her, I’d probably have given her co-vidder status wink

Coming of Age

Oh yeah, music is “It’s all coming back to me now” by Celine Dion - there’s a wonderful video somewhere at the boards with this song sung by MeatLoaf and Marion Raven. I highly recommend that! smile

Thanks for every kind of FDK,

Jana

Jana, this is great! I loved the beginning; using T&D's high school photos was brilliant. And you chose excellent clips and lines for the rest as well. Wonderful job!

Awww! I told you before this was really good, but I'm going to say it again: it's really very good. Your choice of clip is excellent and, yes, the song works wonderfully for this. In fact, you did such a good job, it totally made me forget I can't stand Celine Dion.

Wow!! I'm stunned, I read the story and it seemed like such a difficult story to do a trailer for!! And yet you did it so good, you used great scenes, and the pictures in the beginning where a great idea!!

Woohoo, feedback! smile1

Lisa, yeah, I thought the pics of them were a neat idea. Interestingly I had loads of pics of Dean on my harddrive but none of Teri. Wonder why that is wink

Lara, I knew you'd probably have a hard time. When you told me, you don't like her (to say the least), I was like "Um... that's... not so good" - glad you liked it nevertheless.

Andreia, oh yeah, each day when I went to the boards during the last week, I was anxiously peeking whether someone had made a trailer before I could finish mine spider because it was such a great story that I wouldn't want to leave trailer-less so-to-speak.

Camy, glad you liked it. Actually, at the beginning I didn't think, it would be difficult. It was in the middle when I found myself like "What did you get yourself into?" wink

Thanks everybody, I'm really happy!

Wow - if I hadn't already read this story last week I would definetly do it now. Great work - I'm impressed and speechless smile1

Many thanks to Schnuffinchen for making the FFT and to Stopquitdont for writing the story in the first place hyper

I didn't even know this existed until a reader asked if I'd seen it! (RL- it's so annoying wallbash )

But all I can say is WOW! Thank you so much for making this trailer, Schnuffinchen. It was fantastic!

SQD (who'd known if she'd get a treat like this, she'd have posted this thing a long time ago!)

I love fanfic trailers they almost always wanna make me read a story if somehow I missed it before and this one definetly did. It was so beautiful and sad, mostly sad and I love angst so off I go to read it.

Why is it most canadians I know dislike Celine Dion?

Hi,

You did a wonderful job finding clips to fit this story. Really, really great! smile

Yours Jenni

Oh my cow!

I already recently read this but chills no less.

The clips were perfect - I couldn't figure out where you were going to get pics of Lane but DToSC was perfect! [Isn't that which ep that is? Am only on S2 - it's been YEARS since I've seen them and Mayson just died and Dan is just now showing up.]

WONDERFUL!!!!

And if you haven't read it - get thee to the archive and read it!

I don't know why I thought I had already seen this. I opened it up and realized I hadn't and wow! jawdrop I agree. Using Dean and Teri's high school pictures was inspired and so was using the kid (Alex?) from Don't Tug on Superman's Cape. This was an incredible vid to match such a fantastic story! Thanks so much. laugh

This is the first fanfic trailer I have watched since the year 2000 or so and if they are all that good, I will be glued to my screen reading LnC stories for months. Good thing the holidays are just around the corner smile

I think it was beautifully done and looked really professional. You chose great clips from the show (I just adore that kid!) and the music and lyrics convey so much of what the story is about.

I so want to read it now, so that is what I will do. Immediately.

Thanks for posting this.
