Thanks: To m_a_r_i_k_s for betaing and for sharing the difficult emotional journey with this vid and engaging with it more than I could ever hope anyone would, to supacat for not getting it at first... but then getting goosebumps, and to kuwdora for enthusiastic support and keeping me sane when I drifted from reality on occasion.

This one broke ME in two.

i am very late, but having just watched this i wanted to thank you for an amazing emotional journey (in only 5 minutes!). reading your comments was very interesting, too, because as a kara fangirl, it wasn't until about halfway through that i figured out this was from lee's POV. i was too busy watching kara. and then it hit me and i almost started to cry. i love all the visual parallels, especially the hand-claspings and the way their bodies move toward each other, even when they're not kissing. the hurt and the ferocity and everything was just so powerful. so, thank you. i'm downloading it right now.

Thanks for the lovely comment! I am so touched by everyone's reactions to this vid. I understand what you mean about being too busy watching Kara. One of my betas is a 100% Kara girl and I got to watch her watch it in person, and yeah, she couldn't see Lee's pov at first either. I'm glad the moment when it hit you was powerful though. He loves her SO DAMN MUCH.

hello! i've just discovered the vid commentary community at LJ and i saw that you've allowed blanket permission for commentary on your vids. i just wanted to say thank you! and let you know that i've signed up to write a commentary for Some Time Around Midnight. i'm excited. :)

Hi! Wow, I'm blown away... thank you so much! I love the vid_commentary community, and I don't really know how to express how much it means that someone would write about 'Midnight'. I am sure it will be fascinating for me to read about your viewing experience! I hope you have fun writing the commentary--I loved being able to spend longer with some of my own favourite vids that way. :)
