<DIV>it just reminds me of something. thats all :smileysad:</DIV>

[Zaelicor]

I believe it's a very well done movie. The effects show the amount of work put into them. Great movie, "chick flick" or not <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

There is no animated GIF for me.  I have tried  using the most recent versions of both Firefox and Internet Explorer.  I must be missing a plug-in or something. <div></div>

[Toshikii]

Very good !! =D

[Rarlin]

Dude, This video is [Removed for Content]' awesome!  ***** (5 Stars) Should be nominated for an EQEmmy/Grammy/Whatever the frig it should be. Seriously though, I'm sure this took some work and I think it rocks! <div></div>

[Attal]

<P>I liked it visually.</P> <P>Yes it was too mushy for my taste, but there was some real thought that went into that flick and I know how time consuming making something like that is, so props to you <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P> </P> <P>But [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] that song... worst. song. ever.</P> <P> </P> <P>:smileyvery-happy:</P> <P> </P> <P>Cheers!</P>

Impressive and moving.  Unfortunately, I couldn't get my wife to watch since she has NO intrest in the game what-so-ever.  Too bad really.

[Lady Uaelr]

<DIV>That was great....it flowed so well.</DIV>

[cattie br]

[Kessia189]

Awwww, i nearly cried watching that. Really great work putting that together, i know how much effort it can take to make something like that as my dad dabbles with video editing on occasion. Congratulations on your engagment, wish you all the best <span>:smileyhappy: PS, i love the song i have to get hold of it. </span><div></div>

[kanewright]

<div></div>Nice :smileyvery-happy:

[Forest_Wulfe]

<div></div><p> Very well done! You really put it together nicely, and it flowed right along with the music. I was impressed with even the smallest things, like the scene where the camera follows the birds flying over head (nice...). My wife loved the scene where she was trying to jump on the big horse (actually she really loved the whole thing, but that scene had her laughing).</p><p>  Thanks for a great movie, and congrats on the engagement!</p><p> </p><p> </p>

[Sevewe]

<div>realy good video :smileyvery-happy: very nicely done</div>

[LadyShylah]

absolutely loved it! <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Total chick flick.. and the music was perfect!<div></div>

[monrofayy]

aye i liked it better then all the ones i made combined,, <div></div>

[Irr]

This movie is really great!  It's very inspiring, and light-hearted.The music was a great selection, and the scenes fit very well.The couple portrayed, however, seemed very mismatched.I'm also not sure why there's a scene of your hand and keyboard.But overall, a wonderful video, and I'm glad I downloaded it <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

[Galldora]

This is SO TERRIFIC!  Really enjoyed it, thanks for sharing it, and for all your hard work!<div></div>

[JTG753]

I learned that if you buy a girl a horse and build her a fireplace, she will sleep with you lol

[Forest_Wulfe]

<P> Actually, knowing the story behind the making of this movie (his girlfriend/fiancee asking him to make a chick flick), the shot of his hand and the keyboard seemed to "fit" to me. I also have wondered if there was any significance in the way he was holding his hand there as well, but that would be something between these two... <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P> As for the mismatch, the Barbarian is such a big race in EQ2 it's hard to match up with anyone other than another Barbarian (a problem I had when making a movie with my wife's Half-elf main and my Barbarian main called "<A href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=screen&message.id=19324" target=_blank>In This World and the Next</A>). But as I'm sure you've heard in many "chick flicks", love knows no boundries (and I suppose this would go for race size as well...). Over all this is one of my favorites, even if it is a "chick flick"...  :smileyhappy:</P>

[cba3]

<DIV>Well done, that was a truly awesome video... would have had me in tears if I wasnt sitting at work watching it and needing to grit my teeth!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I love the shot of the screen and hand.. it goes with the part of the song where it says "this is how I know its real"... that part wa especially touching.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thank you so much for sharing this with us all and a huge congratulations on your engangement and forthcomming wedding!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>*off to get a tissue*....</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>p.s. gutted that youre on a PvP server now.. maybe you could do a video where your fiance plays a damsel in distress and you save her... <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

Awww, that was so cute. I LOVED it =D

[Kari]

<P>Hey Byz,</P> <P>I'm watching every EQ2 movie, but somehow I just never happened to see yours!!  I love this chick flick! It's funny and cute. Well done <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P> </P> <P> </P>

You guys missed the point of the keyboard shot, it's not just his hand  .... they are HOLDING HANDS!  <div></div>

<DIV>I am really glad that you bumped this thread with your message because for some reason I hadn't seen the vid before. I love it, it had me almost crying at work and now I can't wait to get home and have my wife watch it. I think that is a great movie and the music fit perfectly and the scene of you 2 holding hands made it that much better.:smileyhappy:</DIV> <P>PS. I hope you do make another movie and your idea does sound awsome. Can't wait.:smileyhappy:</P>
