Oh, I'm so thrilled you made this! Pay no attention to the fact it took me this long to comment--life was keeping me from getting online much and I only saw this a few days ago.

I love the way you structured this. It really draws out the fairy-tale at the heart of the movie, and how Sarah is not your stereotypical "princess" even faced with someone like Jareth. :D

I particularly love the repeated images of the magic spheres and the clocks, especially when you tie the thirteen o'clock to the clock striking midnight. That was a really effective placement of those clips, with Jareth as owl leaving Sarah.

♥ forever. *goes to watch again*

Oh yay! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. The song was such a perfect match for this movie--BRILLIANT prompt on your part :)

And I'm so pleased that the repetition of the spheres + clocks + owls worked. The movie is so all over the place visually (which is why it's awesome) that I was working towards visuals that would emphasize their connection throughout the storyline.

Thank you so much for leaving such a lovely comment. This was a really fun vid to work on too, so thank YOU for the inspiration <3
