Thanks to chaeche for the amazing beta, to deirdre_c for nudging me in the technical direction, and to sar_ha for major codecs assistance! This vid is dedicated to longtimegone on the occasion of her birthday!

I've had the idea for this vid in my head for about a year, but needed to, well, learn vidding and get a capable computer first. This is the first vid I've ever made on a computer, but back in the Dark Ages, I used to make vids about happenings in the world and at my college on a 3/4 inch editing system where I did the titles on an Amiga. This process is a lot shinier!

ConCrit is *really* appreciated! Thanks in advance for watching!

I find watching Rose vids so sad because of how it ended with her and the Doctor. But I do love the way you edited this with the words and images.

Thanks! I know it's weird but I wanted this to be a little emotionally tugging, so I sorta like to see it make people sad. Is that wrong of me?>

No, Vidding seems to be a way of compressing all the emotion of Rose's time. That's why they're so poignant. Because even if you don't use many clips of the last scene, you still know how it ends. You captured it all so well.
