On the concrit side, a couple of things that jumped out at me, for what it's worth. I am generally not a big fan of fast cross-fades because to me they can be quite hard on the eye, so for that reason I tend to favour hard cuts or longer crossfades. Interested to hear about your thoughts behind that particular stylistic choice. In this instance, I felt overall hard cuts would have also fed into the gorgeous overlay bridge better with the additional contrast it presents.
The other thing was that I felt a bit surprised that the clip choice was constricted to s1 and s2 only. s4 is somewhat superfluous, one could argue, but I thought s3 would have been an essential part of the relationship development that would've served the vid to be included. But that's more of an overall arc observation rather than thoughts about how any specfic clips could fit any specific bit in the vid. Curious to hear your thoughts about why you decided to just go with the first two seasons in the end, though.
But seriously, I loved, loved this. It's definitely gonna reward multiple reviewings and I can't wait to rec it. :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!!!!

I like how you made it seem that Ellen shot Patty. Or at Patty and missed. Oh wait, the show did that. Sometimes it's hard to remember what really happened!
I really liked Ellen in this vid. I usually favor Patty over Ellen because I realize I don't really like the actress who portrays Ellen. But I appreciate Ellen's growth in season 1 and you captured certain looks in her eye, pain but with a kind of determination to win. Good for her. And good for you!
Oh, and I love your use of Ellen/Pier/Patty. I'm sure Chaila loved that. :-)
