Notes: fan_eunice  brought me into the world of Once a Thief and I am eternally grateful. I knew she would be requesting it for Festivids, so I kept my ears open for a song. It found me in an album of Roy Orbison's greatest hits. I heard this song and said to myself, "Yeah, that's the Director. That's the song!" I've done very few shippy vids, so there were some new muscles to test out in that regard. I also tried very hard to make this vid like fan_eunice  might have made it had she made it for herself -- I'm not sure how successful I was in that regard.

Much love to my betas, echan, diannelamerc, and lizbetann for encouragement and notes.

SUCCESSFUL. You hit every. single. one. of my Mac/Director buttons and then some. I love this vid so freaking much.

I'm totally serious about the "as if Eunice made it" thing. I was like, hm, Eunice would put in more reaction shots here. Reaction shots let the audience know what they should be feeling! Eunice taught me that. And we need some hilarious face exchanges! And some feeling up. Can't have enough feeling up!
