Vid Beta Request

beccatoriaOkay guys, here's the thing, I made this Caprica Six vid that ATE MY BRAIN. And then the marvelous ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
projectjulie took a look for me and did some betaing. And now I think - I think I'm mostly happy with it. But it's very odd, quite complicated in places and narratively nonlinear. Sort of.
I'm also in love with it. It's a Manifesto Vid. It's like...here is who I think she is now. I'm not sure I've felt so strongly about here is what I have to say in a vid since I made "Jesus Walks," actually. At least not for a character. I won't vid unless I think I have something to say, but my Lee/Laura video was more from a desire to share what I loved about that relationship and a reaction against B/L - what I wanted to say is, "isn't this alternative better?" And "Hummingbird Song" was a manifesto about the entirety of "Razor" not anyone in particular. I guess what I'm saying is, this is only the second time I've made an Angry Character Vid (though the vid itself is more lonely than angry.) I made it in the same feverish way I made "Jesus Walks" and this means I cannot think critically about it at this point.
And Julie has gotten to the point where she's seen it so many times she also thinks I need a fresh pair of eyes.
So:
Is anyone willing to cast an eye over this (hopefully) nearly finished vid?
It has spoilers through 4.08 and one of the season 3 deleted scenes. Obviously given the type of character she is, so much of her character development is delineated by her romantic relationships, but as well as Baltar, HeadBaltar and Tigh, the vid also touches on Boomer/(&Athena), D'Anna and to an extent, Roslin.
It's set to "Set the Fire to the Third Bar," by Snow Patrol feat. Martha Wainwright.
It's tentatively titled, "Ghosts With Just Voices." But I worry that's a bit emo. (Then again, I'm vidding to Snow Patrol, so perhaps I ought to give up the pretense... :p)
It's a love-letter to no one, because Caprica Six is stuck in a long distance relationship with someone who doesn't actually exist.
So, yeah, please comment if you're up for betaing this a little for me. As I said, I've already redrafted it a few times. I'm not looking to upend the structure. But I do want someone who can bring a fresh eye and tell me, "This works," or "You are smoking crack." (Or perhaps both: both I could also live with.)
(Speaking of crack, I must now go off to start work on redrafting the OTHER vidding project!)
