Ooooooh!!!!! I do love it when people in fandom have birthdays! :D
Despite the fact that I've not yet managed to finish season 2, I love this. The jump cuts (? is that what you call it?) work so well for Patty and Ellen, who are so often at such emotional extremes with each other. I also love the way you've got the pier scene overlaying so much of the rest of the action--that's such the omg moment in the first season, and for that reason it's one of those fancy technical things that really works here. (I suppose I'm not always a big fan of effects like that in vids, but I think it's because most of the time people seem to put them in--at least as far as I can see--because "hey, I can do this cool thing!" but here it contributes in a huge way to what the vid is doing. Much, in fact, like your boxes and such in your River/Eleventy vid. Clearly you're a model in how to do effects so that form contributes to meaning!)
Apparently I pay attention to technical vidding stuff now? Even though I'm still in the clipping stage of my own first vid that will never end...
Anyway. Yes. Patty and Ellen!!! Love it!!! Wheee!!!!
