I’ve been loving the videos. But I wish there were more of a plot running throughout. The strength of the series is the characters and their relationships. I’d love to see more like the most recent series of Enjolras and Grantaire videos, where they play off of one another and you see how they interact like real friends/whatever-they-are would. Even beyond the Courf-meets-Marius and Combeferre-meets-Courf paintball story, I want to hear them all talk about hanging out last weekend, with different characters talking about how they see same events. I want to see what they’re up to now, and then watch them grow and change and develop.
I think my favorite videos are actually the two non-round Courfeyrac videos (the one where Courf reads the letter from Combeferre and the one where the two of them are hanging out), because you get that immediacy.
I know this is a huge writing and editing challenge, but it would also be cool if there were split screen videos done up like Skype calls where a couple of characters were talking to one another.
(Also because it has to be said, Joly is the most adorable.)
