Okay so I know it's a really small thing, but damn that transition from the crowd to him getting out of the jeep car at 0:58 is my favorite thing. It's so smooth, perfect, and I just. All the awards to you.
this is probaly the best marvel vid i ever seen. the transitions/edits are out of this world. the song is perfect.frantic.and matched so perfectly to the scenes. i love the long uncut/unedited scene near the end and then the change again. i am a bit lost on words thanks for uploading this vid!
lately I come back to this vid a lot and I don't think I ever properly commented in the first place. but this is such an incredibly well-crafted character study. imo it's one of the rare MCU vids that is able to combine rapid-fire action editing with clear narrative beats and an emotional arc made even more poignant by the latest film.. in short: this is grade A storytelling elevated by a unique song choice that couldn't be more well-suited to Tony. It's truly a feat, but for you, it’s just another vid by lim. i’ve read in the comments that you consider this one of your finest vids and while you’ve done so much exceptional work over the years I can completely understand why you might be so proud of this one in particular. there's really something special about it.
What a comment. You do me so much honour with your commentary, bella! I do like this vid, it's true. It was very easy to make -- I made it while we were moving house, when I should have been packing, heh. I think I like this so much because making a vid is how I come to understand a character. I don't always start out loving or knowing them. I didn't start out loving Tony, for sure, but I try to go into it with an open sense of discovery and sympathy and see what I find. And this is what I found!
It is simply on of the best fanvideos I've ever seen. I'm not even talking about the flawless editing; this video tells a story, and in a very powerful way too. I'm rewatching it for a hundredth time, now, I guess. Still makes me feel so much. Thank you for doing this.
How. On earth. This. Isn't. Famous. AF. HOW, WORLD?! Well, the best things start from the ground. Idk how, but I'm gonna bring all my friends (Marvel's fans) to watch this video. Again, and "again" (like the OP from FMA Brotherhood and the song of Araki). I just love Tony Stark/RDJ/Iron Man so much, and I'm glad that you exist. Bless the bed that helped to create you. (?)
Fun story : 5 years after I first found this amazing vid, I happened to be listening to my 2015 playlist on my iPod classic (which I hadn't listened to in years!) . Turn Up The Faders comes on and I think to myself... Why am I suddenly getting a Tony Stark vibe? I even had some of the images from this video in my head like the parts with the people crowding around etc. I managed to find this video after I luckily remembered your username and searched for your channel on here. So glad this vid is still here!!! Yeah, so I just HAD to comment and tell you that this vid was soooo powerful that 5 years later I STILL associated the song with this... subconsciously! I don't think I'll EVER be able to hear this song and not think of this vid ... and that's a good thing cause what you've created is so awesome! :D
oh, this captures Tony's heart so perfectly, no pun intended at all. and with every turn up the faders the pulse of the clips just became more urgent. the there and then gone flashback during his distorted POV of the crowd crush was such a brilliant touch. and the misdirected lust of the missile, and the stars shooting from the Jericho. and with the sequence of "outside is a storm" and "just like a set," I think you conveyed the unreality and the terrifying sense of drowning better than the source material did. I can't. so many incredible touches. I won't deny the end made me wibble. thank you for this gem. ~xt3
Oh man. Thank you! This was amazing, your sense of timing and music and all the other stuff I don't know about that goes into editing is just great! This moved me to tears ;s I always love Tony, but it's good to be reminded of how much of a good guy he is, especially when Civil War is about to come. It's gonna be so much harder to watch.
The dynamic is incredible! I absolutely loved the flow of the video - it seemed like the video and the audio were something whole, with faster and slower sections that you so masterfully mirrored with your choice of clips/scenes and transitions. Love this!
Holy crap, this gives me goosebumps! It's seriously powerful to watch the clips mixed with the words like this. Wow. Edit: I`ve now watched it like 5 more times and it`s seriously PERFECT. it`s just so "Tony", I don't know how else to describe it. It captures his personality - that intense focus but also the kind of scrambled all over the place out of control feeling as well. I love the lyrics to this song as well. Especially the "liquor as a tourniquet" part. and the "all this misdirected lust, all these all these all these people".
Not sure I commented on this vid but the way you captured Tony's character is mind blowing and for me works way stronger and more pointedly than films themselves; the choice of song is superb and I like how video feels brutal and smooth at the same time, great work.
Holy shit. I can't find the words to express how this vid impressed me. I'm not a visually-oriented person-I actually don't like movies or TV much, I just watch the bare minimum I feel obligated to watch to understand a fandom (e.g., part of Iron Man 1 for MCU, because I grok Tony). But this! I'm trying to think who I can badger into watching Expo with me again, but I'm seeing comments from "the usual suspects" so now I'm considering people I know in unrelated fandoms, folk-rockers, people I've played politics with, shirttail relatives, ANYONE. I'm excited & awed; I feel high when I watch & listen to it. Damn. Bravo!! -Wanted_A_Pony
God, this is so fucking good. Absolutely one of the best Tony vids I've ever seen, and I've gone through a lot of them. Actual chills down my spine! Now excuse me while I watch this again.
I've re-watched/listened to this video several times over the years, I remember finding it back in high school and it just popped into my head again, today. It's very well done! :)
Still so frickin' powerful & inspiring! This vid was a major reason why I finally hunted down & watched all of Iron Man, & then Iron Man 2 & 3. A-1 Finest Kind! - thank you so much for creating & sharing it with us. ♥ ♥ ♥
Ho. Lee. Shit! There are a lot of good fanvids out there. But once in a while, one comes along that makes your run through your entire repertoire of superlatives. This is one of them. I have no idea what you do for a living, but I hope it's something to do with editing and film because you freaking rocked this...in every possible way.
Every time I watch this I am amazed once again. Perfect song choice, amazing transitions, clear emotional arc... It is without a doubt my favorite fanvid, and makes me emotional all of the time. I remember when I first watched this, and I was like, eh I don't really like the song but the video is really good, but then I watched the video so many times in that week that I then loved the song too. And now I love both, and it's been 3 years now so I don't really see an end to me loving this. I keep coming back because it's spectacular.
@@limvids 5 years later and I can confirm that there is indeed no end to me loving this vid. I was watching some other fanvids which were nice, but I was like these are missing the crisp editing and story arc of my fave, and I just had to come back here to see this masterpiece again. This is seriously unmatched and I love it so much ❤
Wow that took forever doing the Google +. anyway, love this video. found it when I was searching for the best software to use for fanvids. I saw below you were also on AO3 so i'm going to check out the rest because this youtube system isn't my favorite.
dude. what the hell dude. i'm just!!!!! i am so fucking emotional right now don't touch me wow!!!! literally flawless editing, perfect choice of song, the chaotic cuts, the beat of it is just!!!!!! so amazing man i loved this. i just loved this idk what to say!!
Came here from your excellent article "Demystifying vidding" and um. Uh. I AM LEARNING THINGS (The transitions from 1:12 to 1:20, where the car window looks like a screen and the bullet holes become stars... god, if I pause it I can see where the change happens, but the seamless motion sucks you straight back in.)
Ok, so I already commented on your post at Ao3 as well, but... Just wanted to let you know I've shown this to a couple people in the media production program at my school and the general consensus seems to be that main limbs would be gladly exchanged for your editing skills. Any suggestions for inspiring fanvidders like myself?
I really enjoyed this. I'm not familiar with this band or song but it fits Tony well. This kind of manic, scrambled song is a good fit for how Tony's mind is. He has a laser point focus when he needs to but just watching him you can tell he's just barely holding it all together. Also your edits were really nice they didn't linger too long on any one scene and maintained a good pace. I subscribed to your channel and I'm gonna add you to my Vidders To Watch section on my channel. Come over to my channel and check out some of my vids I would appreciate any feedback as well. Hope to hear from you.

/me grins.
Yeah that was one of my favorite transitions in the video too. So smooth and perfect!
(I'm on 5th? rewatch) IA especially with the lyric tie-in..."funneled into the clubs" and what Afghanistan represents in Tony's arc. so much love.

The amount of times I have watched this video by now... it’s like once a week now. Just, congratulations on making such a fantastic piece of art
I'm so glad you like it! Thank you for telling me. xoxoxo

The synchronicity at 1:49 with the video and music is amazing! You did a breathtaking job with this video!
Oh thank you! This is one of my favourite videos I ever made so I'm always glad when another fan likes it too. xxx
This is hands down the BEST Tony vid I've ever watched. It's absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing this.
this is fan editing magic. Thanks so much for making and sharing, this was a blast to watch. Everything fits perfectly!

Wow, what a great comment. Thank you! Wow! xoxox
This video really takes you on a journey and gets into your head. Excellently made and so very Tony.
Oh man. Thank you! This was amazing, your sense of timing and music and all the other stuff I don't know about that goes into editing is just great! This moved me to tears ;s
I always love Tony, but it's good to be reminded of how much of a good guy he is, especially when Civil War is about to come. It's gonna be so much harder to watch.
this is one of the best iron man vids ive seen-- to the phrasing, the clips used, the flow, the timing and the song itself! its so good!
The dynamic is incredible! I absolutely loved the flow of the video - it seemed like the video and the audio were something whole, with faster and slower sections that you so masterfully mirrored with your choice of clips/scenes and transitions. Love this!

I'm so glad it moved you.
Marvel should hire people like you to make their trailers better, this was a fantastic ride, thanks for that
