FRINGE VID YAY! I love the jarring way you set these clips together, and how you flash between moments of Walter's goodness and moments of his selfishness and cruelty--it's as visually discordant as his life is. Excellent song choice and I like that you maintain the balance between portraying Walter as either a daft, misunderstood genius or a morally impaired sociopath. He's all of that, and his relationships are so fraught, and yet there's warmth and a simple straightforward joy to him, and you capture that so well here. Excellent!

Thank you so much! The contradictions of his personality and life - the way he manages to be cruel and selfish and childish and abusive at the same time as being childlike and innocent and joyful and tragic, is so fascinating to me, because I don't understand exactly how the show manages to maintain that balance without it striking me as hypocritical or annoying, as characters who do terrible things but are treate as "omg so tragic" of often do. And yet, I love Walter and find him fascinating and consistently deeply moving even with all his near-sociopathic behaviour. So I'm really, really pleased that I kept that balance in the vid.

Thanks for taking the time to comment!
