Thank you everyone who helped and cheerled with this. I'm also pleased to have finished this exactly a month after Vidukon, where I seem to remember publicly promising to make it.

[vid] Disappear [Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]

With a word, with a line, you only disappear. Identity and violence.

content notes: Star Trek-typical violence; one bright flash of red light

lyrics:

Close my eyes, I'm moving still
Magazines and dollar bills
And you wake up to a fall of snow
Your telephone, your radio

Baby I'll call up a storm and keep you safe from harm
But you only, you only disappear

I can live with my regrets
Still raise a smile, still raise my head
And a stranger God can be so cruel
And a holy fool is still a fool

But this is all I can say, I have lost my way
But you only, you only disappear

With a word, with a line
With a smile that says goodbye

It's raining now on your street
And I'd walk to you if I could trust my feet

(note: part of the original idea for this vid came from the "mind control" square on my trope_bingo card.)

Oh WOW, I completely love the way you captured this theme of identity! It's really powerful and well done, and the ending (both the way you used the combadges and those final shots) is perfect!
