I can't believe that I missed there was a Quantum Leap vid! I really like how you put this together, and the song choice is perfect, and I teared up at the end because I am a sap. Great vid!

[giandujakiss]

Aww, thank you! If I could make you get teary, it was a success!

[starlady]

Ah, that was great! I have only the haziest memories of the show, but the song fits perfectly, and the emotion comes through very powerfully indeed.

[giandujakiss]

Thank you so much! I've always loved this song and I really wanted to vid it - I was so happy when it occurred to me to use it for QL. I'm so glad it worked for you!

I think there might be a problem with the .avi version. I've downloaded it twice, and gotten an error both times when I tried to unzip it.

[giandujakiss]

I'm sorry! Right now the whole site seems to be down - you can download is from Sendspace here: http://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/ccwfgw

Thank you!

I adore and love this song. Pairing it with QL made me cry. I may have flailed elsewhere about this vid, but my HD crashed and I'm just now getting around to replacing the stuff I couldn't save, mainly the vids I'd downloaded. This was lovely.

[giandujakiss]

Awww, thank you so much! I've always loved this song too - I was so happy when I thought of it for QL!

[dragonyphoenix]

Wow. I vaguely recall Quantum Leap and I still loved that.

[giandujakiss]

Hee, thanks so much! It really was a great show!

[dragonyphoenix]

I recall liking Quantum Leap. I don't know why I didn't follow it more religiously. Bet I could catch it on Netflix.

[giandujakiss]

I'm sure you wouldn't regret it :-).

[dragonyphoenix]

I put the first disk into my queue. I only get two a month though so it'll be a couple of weeks.

Here via your post in the festivids tag on tumblr. :D I'm so excited right now, I've heard about this ~Quantum Leap~ show a lot during my fannish online life, but I NEVER KNEW that it was THIS show that I watched as a kid -- it had a different name in Germany! Aaaah I'm so happy. I never actually watched a lot of it because I was too young, but the few things I remember always make me smile when I think back. This made me tear up. I'm going to show this vid to my older brother who introduced me to the show. :') Thank you for making it!

[giandujakiss]

That's so funny - I didn't realize it had a different name in Germany. I'm really glad you liked the vid - thank you so much!

[violace]

Heh, it was called "Zurück in die Vergangenheit" (Back to the past). For some reason I never bothered to look it up to find out what it was originally called.

Also, wah, I forgot to comment on my favourite FAVOURITE clip-to-lyric match -- THE HOMERUN ON THE BASEBALL FIELD SET TO "COMING HOOOOME". So, so perfect. <3333

[giandujakiss]

Aww. thanks! I think that was one of the first clip-lyric matches I came up with!

Stealing Home is so... I'm having all the Sams (and Steves)

[giandujakiss]

Hee, I'm glad!

Just got into Quantum Leap recently, and this video destroyed me in the best of ways. It was beautifully edited, and the song (which I already love a lot) fit perfectly. Thank you so much for making it!

[giandujakiss]

Oh, I'm so glad you liked it- thank you! And I love that people are continuing to discover this show!

[brainwane]

I NEVER THOUGHT IT WAS FAIR that Becket did not get to return home. Thank you for fixing this.

[giandujakiss]

Hee! That's what fandom does - glad you liked it!

[jb_slasher]

Oh wow. I probably have seen this show, like an ep or two when I was but a wee kid but hey, this vid makes me feel sad and happy at the same time. Oh Sam. <3

[giandujakiss]

I'm so glad it gave you feels - those are exactly the ones I was going for.
