I love Atlantis - the show, the city, and my God, the fandom. I'm a little wary of watching instrumental vids, because I always have a hard time finding a narrative thread to pull it together, but this one felt more like mood than narrative and it worked BEAUTIFULLY. It was a love song both to and from the city of Atlantis.

Every time we get one of those aerial shots of the city in the show, my heart skips a beat - this vid was like that feeling cranked up and relentless, the sheer WOW of the Lost City being found and loved and gloried in. I had tears in my eyes for the second half and I don't even know why. Emotional overload, I guess.

I kept having to play bits over and over. The city rising from the deep! (I adore the music shift just as the city is breaking the surface - like the instruments are breaking out into sunlight too.) The ashes! (Definitely one of those tearing-up moments.) The puddlejumpers coming out of the city! (Whoosh! Wheeeeeee!)

Also, I love that song, and I loved your portrayal of the characters, especially Elizabeth. But it's all about the city for me. :)

Heh. I have the perfect icon for feedback on this vid. There really is no place like Atlantis.
