	OMG that vid was so adorable! I really liked the technique you used of following the lines of one image into the next one which happened to be on a completely different angle. And the pops of color were neat too. Thanks! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thank you so much!! It was a lot of work, but I'm glad it worked out. I think it was worth it. I needed something uplifting, personally, and I'm so happy it was well-received in what's become a very angsty pairing. ^_^ (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I love how you connected the scenes too. I imagine that if you would be able to look at the art/story from a distance then it would be all swirled and mixed up in itself - like a spilled potion! Metaphorically. ;D (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It's actually several small drawings in a 6x9 sketchbook. I did them all in there - turning corners and leaving trails off the edges. Then I scanned them all, put them into after effects, animated it, timed it to the music, added in the words, animated those, and tweaked until it was all timed out just right. So, yeah, kind of like making a potion. :D (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I even love the duckie. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Hee hee. Something about that duck... I've drawn him a few times since finishing this, too. :P (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Oh that song was PERFECTION for this vid! Loved the way the lines of each panel (?) ran into the next and the next... ADORED Teddy in the water with the ducky!! ;o) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thank you so much! I'm really glad you like it. And yeah, I figured for the "no use crying over spilt potions" prompt, Teddy falling into the lake was probably a good analogy. Plus the other, overall, use of the prompt in regards to Harry and Draco. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	This has to be the most splendid thing in ages. I just spent the last several minutes giggling like a four-year-old, and now I'm going to go do it all over again! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Well, if DAVID gives me a perfect 10... ^_^ I made it expressly for that purpose. To make people giggle like a 4-year-old... and to remind us why we love H/D in the first place. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	OMG, this totally made my day! I love the style of it, and matchmaker Teddy is too cute! (And he's definitely a Black - few Slytherin tendencies there, eh? xD) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	littleblackbow 2009-05-09 07:37 am UTC (link)
	YAY! Oh yeah he is. And his father was a MARAUDER. Totally cunning, manipulative and devious... but in a good way. ^_^ (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Teddy and the Duck were too adorable. I really loved how you did this! So sweet. ^_^ (Reply to this)
