As I say in my Josh/Donna video, this show completely changed my mind about what tv show should be like. I finished it a few weeks ago, and it became my all time favorite show. I just have no words to explain my love for it.

Vidding it is so so soooo hard! There is so many great moments, and there is not a song that is long enough to make a great video to make it justice. I guess I tried to focus on the core characters as individuals, and also as little pieces of the puzzle. They are all extremely lonely people. Who keep making sacrifices for their mega important jobs. And I think that what's bringing them together, their love for their country and their devotion to their leader. There are all interesting and complicated characters who went through a long journey in the show.

This is the only show I have ever watched that I can't select a favorite characters because I just love them all so much. I can't choose one. The video is mainly focused on seasons 1-4 which are the best ones in my opinion (which is probably the opinion of every west wing watcher), but don't get me wrong, unlike other shows I do like season 5-7. I just love them less. It wasn't the same, but it was still fantastic. There are many more brilliant characters in this show that I haven't included in the video - will, santos, vinnick, denny, amy etc and I barely used any charlie. And there are many relationships that are barely or not at all in it (cj/danny, charlie/jed, jed/toby, toby/josh), and many important scenes that I didn't use. The song was just too short:-/ so I'm sorry for that.

I don't think this video is my best work at all. I used many voiceovers and stuff and most of you know I'm not a fan of them at all! But it is impossible to vid this show without them, cause the amazing inspirational script is one of the things I love the most about the show.

Anyway. This video is dedicated to the lovely emma (smumsi -- she is the most amazing vidder) who is the only person here that I talk about the show, and she always makes me so happy! With her personality and also with her art in her amazing video! (check her account, I mean it. best!) so I hope you like it hun xx

I don't know how many people will watch this video honestly. Some people don't have patience for long videos (and that's understandable), and it's also a fandom that almost no one in this community know/watch. So I'm not expecting too much feedback. But the ones who will take the time to watch it, thank you guys so so much! And also, if you're reading this and you haven't watched it, I strongly (understatement) recommend you to watch it. Trust me you won't regret it!
