My other Skam vids - • Skam
"Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me
The first time that you touched me
Oh, will wonders ever cease?
Blessed be the mystery of love."
Because I really miss season three. And because I really love Sufjan Stevens and Call Me By Your Name. And I like my vids to be intertextual. This is my first Isak and Even video since my collab with Bella (xLiesForALiar) in June ( • Two Men in Love (colla... ). It’s been too long. I cannot believe it’s already been a year.
After an extremely stressful semester of grad school, and over a month without my laptop, I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed making this video. I really hope you enjoy watching it.
Shout-out to allywantstofly on Tumblr who suggested that I paired this song with Evak back in August. Thank you for the suggestion - it definitely stayed with me over the past four months! - บันเทิง
i'm glad i waited to comment on this until after seeing Call Me By Your Name because it's such a pleasure to come back to this video now and notice all the stylistic references to it. i mean, the intro alone - from the opening scenic shots (which is generally a way you tend to open your vids but also is indicative of the way scenery and location is accentuated in CMBYN), to the soft light leaks and the shot of their "wall collage" accompanying the title card, which of course, is in the CMBYN font. it's so clearly an ode to this film for anyone who's seen it and it's such a pleasure to watch these two queer texts come together in this celebration and examination of love.
i love how simple your editing is here - it feels so appropriate considering the nature of this song, light and feathery as it is. it gives a new sense of delicacy to a lot of the shots that makes watching this sort of feel like floating. certain sequences that really stand out for me are 0:44-0:49 (the way you used foreground movement), 1:03 (such a soft and underused moment), 1:15 (i swear i got goosebumps my first time watching; this entire video is just extremely soft but i loved that you used this moment in particular as well as the pillow scene to just really embody the magical and euphoric ecstasy of falling in love).
where the music shifts tonally around 2:40, i really love your use of the panicked 3x08 scenes and i also really like the cut from 3:38-3:42 during the final repetition of "blessed be the mystery of love", it just really works to bring the video full circle. i always feel like there's such a clear and methodical organization to your vids in terms of your scene choices and placement and this video is no exception. and then, of course, the paralleling of those two embraces at the end and the use of ambient sound to leave the video off on a euphoric and peaceful conclusion.
ever since i first heard this song in the trailer for CMBYN and we gushed about it, eagerly waiting for the soundtrack to be released, i've wanted to see it used in an evak vid and while it's a shame we never got the chance to collaborate with it like we had talked about, i'm glad you felt inspired to work with it on your own and share this refreshingly simple, yet wonderfully nuanced and intertextual vid.
(i want to lastly mention that i also really love your color grading here, it's very muted and distinct from your past SKAM vids).
Ahhh I am so glad that you waited to comment on it, too. I really value your thoughts and opinions about my video and I think for this one in particular you'll get a lot more out of it once you've seen CMBYN. I am so happy to see that you picked up on a range of the stylistic references that I made to the film. I must say that I really enjoyed editing the introduction. I am just so happy that you picked up on so many of the smaller details I featured in this vid - from the references to CMBYN to to use of foreground movement and the colour grading. Thank you, once again, for a wonderfully thoughtful and insightful comment.
These are the comments I take immense pleasure on reading.
absolute perfection
omg, thank you so much for this comment! i absolutely love your editing so it really means a lot to me that you enjoy my work. and also - same! i will never get over this show.
you combined two of my favourite things in the world!!! My heart is aching this is so beautiful
i'm so glad!!! i'm really happy you liked my vid
is it possible to be in love with an edit? this is FANTASTIC
ahhh! thank you! and it's totally possible to be in love with an edit
better scenes could not have been chose, such a simple but beautiful and emotional video (only Isak and Even could also use this song besides Elio and Oliver) goregous
thank you so much!
ok
wow
ok
"oh to see without my eyes" and the timing of Isak closing his eyes wow
"White noise what an awful sound" with him waking up alone ok cool cool
as always in awe of your lingering shots that capture so much with so little
(ok the shot of them on the bike with "alexander's lover" where Isak truly looks like some Greek character in that costume ok cool)
"shall i find no other" with the shot of jonas i see what you did
The way you have Even entering the shot with the music straight after that is Art
oh and then from like 2:40 with the music slowing down and him looking for Even and looking so hurt and lost (and all the Sadness god why would you do this B???? all the soft shots with the soft lyrics oh wow i am not breathing)
and ending with those hugs and the parallel with the new beginning and the 'end' of their story as we know it
(also I love the almost circular theme of this video with the shot at the start of them at the dance and then towards the end as well with Even also coming int at that point, that was beautiful)
As always, you have outdone yourself and made absolute perfection in video form, this is a blessing to my eyes, thank you for this
omg your phrasing of this comment made me laugh "wow...... ok cool cool". Thank you so much bb
How. Have. I. Never. Seen. This. It's. A. Freaking. Masterpiece. What. The. Hell. How? I love this so much yes to your editing skills and choice of scenes, you always put the most fitting scenes and can make someone actually feel it, it's so artistic.. literally every single second is beautiful.. wow
Wow, thank you very much!!
oh my god. I felt this down in my bones, you literally never cease to astound me and make the most emotional videos I've ever seen. I'm speechless, I don't think I breathed for the whole 4:15
CAIT MY LOVE. thank you so so much bb
Sooo late seeing it, but I love this; it always blows my mind when someone can take the same material that everyone uses and makes it feel fresh and original all over again through such great and different choices. I've seen so many great edits and I've tried it myself, but it still amazes me when you see what someone with a natural gift for it can make, how you can take the same source that we all use and know so well and come up with something so surprising and beautifully crafted. Great work.
Wow! This comment was unexpected but so very welcome. Thank you so much for your kind words about my video and my editing. It really means a lot to me.
the first minute of this video already shook my entire core lmao... jesus. i don't even feel like i ? can come up w words to describe how this makes me feel and how beautiful it is? so? i dont know? wow. just wow.
every time i watch a masterpiece of evak video i get so upset we didn't get evan's season.
this was absolutely stunning in every possible way.
Ah, me too! Such a shame. I still mourn for the Vilde season that never was, too. Thank you so much for your comment bb
this is so so so beautiful i have been obsessed with this song and CMBYN and this is like my fav things colliding thank you thank you thank you
me too! it was really fun for me to finally get to pair this song with isak and even after contemplating it ever since i watched the cmbyn trailer back in summer. i'm really happy you enjoyed this!
i really feel like you are one of the few people who can really pull off the ~minimalist vidding (don't really know how to put it tbh haha) style. it's like YOURS and you excel at it. also....your scene selection plus pacing is so on point - little things like the black screen at 1:17 and 2:38.... those had such a big impact like goddam!!!!) it has like such a raw vibe i love it so much
oh my god, thank you so much. i have been so moved by your response to this video. i cannot begin to tell you how emotional it makes me feel!!! sometimes i'm quite self-conscious of my editing style and i am just so so happy that you find it compelling it means so much to me
YES OH MY GOD CMBYN MIXED WITH EVAK??? YES PLEASE
I couldn't imagine this song fits these boys, I was sure they are entirely separate things and together they would look wrong. BUT it was sooo beautiful sooooo right and harmonious and light and endearing!!! A BIG 'thank you' for this piece of art!👏💕💕
Well I am so glad that I convinced you otherwise! Thank you for your comment :)
this is a masterpiece
Wow!!!!.......What you have done, is absolutely beautiful, blending some of the most beautiful scenes of what has become a favourite series to so many of us, SKAM with the most memorable couple and the great theme song from Call Me By Your Name. The outcome was perfect.
Thank you very much! I’m so glad you enjoyed my tribute to the combination of the two texts.
Beautiful
I love this so much
Gosh. THIS SONG! it's just too much Q_______Q
I'm absolutely in love with the way you choose and put scenes together. it's amazing, thank you.

This is absolutely mesmerizing, I love the pace and the softness, your editing is awesome how every beat of the music is perfectly synchronized with the scenes!!!And the special use of the scenes, some of them felt like I watched them for the first time.3:33 - 3: 43 really stands out for me. GAH, perfect.

Elio and Oliver
