Angel realizes Buffy is dead (Version 2). "It's Buffy."

PREFACE: This video is a remake of my original version of Angel's thoughts, when he saw Willow sitting in the lobby of the Hyperion Hotel in 2.22. (Link:    • Angel realizes Buffy is dead. "It's B...  )

I've always wondered what went through Angel's mind, from the moment he saw Willow, hunched over, on the couch, to the moment he said, "It's Buffy." It's crazy how we can review something in our minds in seconds that could take hours to thoroughly explain in-person. I tried to concentrate on the "big moments" (nod to "Becoming") in their relationship and convey the pain that Angel must have felt.

For a while now, I've been saying that I was going to create a re-make of the first version of my "It's Buffy" video (link:    • Angel realizes Buffy is dead. "It's B...  ). Well, I finally finished it. The clarity of so many of the clips is vastly improved and I also slightly lengthened Angel's flashback. In a few ways, I like the original a little more, but, overall, I think this second version is much better.

I'd love know what you think about this video and which one you prefer (first or second version). Although this video is less than a minute long it took me, in total, probably 15 hours+ to build. Essentially, weeks/hours to make, seconds/minutes to comment. I'm new to video-making and Premiere Pro, so any thoughts--good or bad--are vastly appreciated. Thank you very much!

I'd like to thank everyone who simply watched (and, especially, commented on my original video). It was my first BtVS video. I could not believe the number of views I received in just 6 months. 19K+!! I know, compared to a lot of YouTube videos, that's a drop in the bucket, but, to me, it's huge! Thank you so much!!
