Thank you:

caras_galadhon,

deerdancer, and

sara_elf for giving the vid a once over.

Peter's eyes open to his powers. This includes footage from episodes 1-7, and 10. What leads up to saving the cheerleader, saving the world.

A few words from the mind behind the vid...
Well. Let's see, I started this in October. I think maybe episode 5 or so had just aired, I was listening to Slean's album, "Day One", and something twitched in my head.

Yes, the song is remarkably upbeat. In fact, probably the most upbeat piece I have ever actually used. But Peter was so wide-eyed back then; intent on saving the world. The dreamy-eyed kid staring out the window. "All passioneers, up and out of the house!" could have been his motto.

So we have Peter, Nathan, Mama (Angela) Petrelli, Heidi, Mohinder, Isaac, and a visit from future!Hiro. A lot of touching on the relationship between Peter and Nathan; it's integral to Peter's development as a character. There are more thoughts I could type out about that, but then this just gets all spoilery for current episodes.

From a vid perspective, it's not particularly technically challenging, but that wasn't the point here. It went through a lot of tweaking in the making-of process, getting that timing down, playing with different tempos, cutting on different beats and... yeah, that's pretty much it. I think I utterly exhausted myself after that Final Fantasy Advent Children vid. *g*

Day One

Sarah Slean

I put my head back
Where it belongs up there in the clouds
I’m spreading love like
a terrorist now

O what a morning
O what a day to be alive
Sweet hope is glowing
in your glorious eyes

Pushing paper ain't enough
I bet you think that you’re so tough
But all your green won’t mean a thing at all

On day one
Day ONE

After Boy Wonder
After the dream came out of the mines
Bus boys and bankers
Were wiping their eyes

Be still my lionheart!
A revolution ready to pounce
All passioneers
Up and out of the house!

Beauty faked a heart attack,
Now I feel it coming back
And all your green won't mean a thing at all!

On Day one
