Thanks

I realized it was a bit lengthy but I wanted to put some action in and keep Lux Aeterna (the calm bit) at the beginning. So this meant it would be lengthy. I also wanted to put the Doctors story in it (Gallifrey etc) but I still didn't have enough time to.

Music I definitely find hardest especially with iMovie. (SK is right it is the Two Towers version of Requiem For A Dream). Volume is a pain getting it to the right level so sometimes I just make it full. I do love Lux Aeterna though and I like it loud (makes it more dramatic). Thinking of using Globus - Preliator soon.

Annoyed that the River speech music came through a bit too much but it was necessary to hear the dialogue. I sort of like the Doctor Forever poking through when Gallifrey is being described.

They end bit very disjointed but I wanted *pfft* We'll be gone"

I'm looking into it and hopefully will get it.

I've made a S3 Mid series trailer but it needs some redefining so hopefully will sort it out soon.
