Skullcrusher Mountain - a Ben/Juliet music video

Was this ever fun!

I've been hoping to get the chance at some point to collaborate with

katernater on a video project. We've talked about it in the past but we just never had the time to get together on it, but over the past few weeks time treated us differently, and this is the amazing, wonderful result. Kate never hesitates to send me songs that she finds fitting for one of our pairings of kids (we're up to four now!) and now that we've adopted Ben and Juliet (sorry, Kendra, you'll have to forgive me - I'm just drawn to it!) she's sent me a couple that are insanely perfect. But this song in particular got the wheels turning, especially when Kate told me she thought it would make a perfect video.

To make a long story short, one day I had some time before work and put together the beginning part (up through the first chorus or so), sent it to Kate, and was rewarded with a prompt, giggly phone call of approval. I asked her to let me know what she thought the rest of it should be like, and she sent me her notes and thoughts which I in turn made happen. It had to sit for a little while because I needed some time to sort through things, but I finished it up last night and now that it's met her seal of approval, we think it's time to share it with the world!

My gratitude goes (of course!) to my dear

katernater for not only coaxing me further into LOST but for being there to encourage me when things are down, and to

cryptictac and

effulgent_girl for feeding my obsession with the island and all of its inhabitants. I promise that soon, I will finish season five!

Comments are welcome - we would love them! - and we hope you enjoy it!
