So uhm, I think I broke my speed record on vidding TXF - under a week. Not bad. Perhaps one day xandra_ptv will stop making fun of me. The song was a gift, I discovered Dessa through giandujakiss amazing Nikita video Seamstress, because vids are the way to go to discover unknown artists, fandoms and shows. After listening to the album on repeat for four days, 'Matches to Paper Dolls' suddenly hit me as perfect Scully song. One week later I have a finished vid. I love when creativity strikes.

Amazing! ♥
The song is definitely something different but it's working perfect. And the scenes you used work so well, in particular because those aren't the overused (though still loved) ones seen in almost every vid.

What I'm trying to say here: thank you so much for sharing! :-)

You're welcome and I'm thrilled that you loved the vid. Dessa's album is incredible and once I made the Scully connection to this song, I was flooded with possibilities.

I mean the beauty and challenge of vidding XF is the absurd amount of footage you have of these two people over the course of almost a decade. So I had alternatives for pretty much every lyric and there were some hard clip choices to be made, because damn, how often did Scully 'bat her lashes'? Thank you again for your lovely feedback.
