Awwww, thank you SO much! I am so glad the colouring worked--I kind of went crazycakes with it, I know it's really over the top but I wanted that comic book aesthetic to be diled up REALLY high and I squeeed so much when people said that's how it came across.
What I understand about this show from this vid is that there is a hot guy who fires arrows and gets to be all mopey and tragic, right? :D CORRECT. What you also need to know is that he is naked MOST OF THE TIME. Seriously! I had to actually fight hard to find clips of him with clothes on! Which gives the strange impression that I was opposed to his nudity but as I explained to someone at the con, he's so objectified on the show with his shirtlessness that it actually throws you 'out' of the character in the vid--whereas I wanted to really draw people in to his world and perspective--i.e. I wanted subjectification/empathy not objectification. However as a viewer most of the time? I'll take the objectification, oh yes I will. :D Cassidy Freeman (who is a darling) once commented that Justin (who plays Oliver) is 'what girls are like on most shows' and apparently has a long-suffering attitude towards his constant nudity: 'You want me to be shirtless AGAIN? REALLY?!'
