BLESS YOU, this is awesome. I have shivers of glee.
Basically everything you say! It's pretty obvious that Sarah is my girl and I have massive affection for Sarah/Ellison, but I do really find Ellison deeply fascinating in his own right, and in many ways, the most complex character of them all. His story and perspective (along with, obviously, Weaver, and, in a different way, Jesse) really widens the lens of the show and makes all the questions more complex in really fascinating ways. I'm so happy the narrative of him as both guide and one seeking guidance is in the vid! I absolutely adore how much he wants to do the right thing, and make the right decision, but just can't KNOW what that is or whether he's really doing it, but still just moves forward in the way he thinks is best anyway. But those things are kind of hard to convey visually. (I also don't understand the criticism of him, because I think half the point is that he (and everyone else) can only make decisions based on the information they have and the possibilities they can even imagine. But whatever!)
shuffles them together like a series of considerations
THANK YOU FOR ARTICULATING THAT. Omg. I struggled so hard to articulate to pellucid what I was trying to do, and how I was trying to keep it as an *Ellison* vid despite sections devoted to Savannah and John Henry. I was more or less able to, I think, but never in a way that seemed to accurately describe the method, even to me. But yes, THIS. Whew. I feel better. :D
Mostly though, yaaaay, so glad you like it and HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :D
