This is so creepy and atmospheric; I love how you first introduce the Silence with the beginning of the new sounds in the music, and the build of the creepy from there throughout the whole thing with the increasingly frantic music. I also love how you've so clearly conveyed the memory and forgetting aspects of these eps, like how you start with the Doctor's death and show flashbacks to earlier and the flashbacks to the burning from the diner, and of course all the ways you've shown through either repetition or gestures or expressions that they forget their encounters with the Silence. 8 minutes long indeed! And that last flash of lightning on the Doctor's face after snogging. Awesome. <3

\o/ Thank you! With very short and rare exceptions, I've never really don't an instrumental vid before so I was a bit nervous, and having the rough structure of the episodes to follow narratively was a big help to the problem of not having lyrics to provide that structure, so I cheated a bit, but I was definitely hoping to make something creepy and atmospheric primarily, which is a bit different to what I usually go for (more narrative or...messagey? A bit? Maybe?), so yay for reassuring me that it works. <3 Also <3 for the whole thing about the memories and forgetting. It really is such a creepy idea and I knew I wanted to flash between the expressions in that bit, but didn't realise it'd be quite as chilling as it turned out.
