Vid Title: Runaway

Summary: "If I could just find this thing, I could go home" - Meldrick Lewis
Reccer's Comments: This vid is pretty much my definition of a great character study, and not just because it was made for me :D I love how full-circle this vid is--there's a strong linear narrative but it repeatedly comes back to the earlier parts of the show, and uses the refrain and the musical repetition to build a layered portrait, not just tell an A-to-B story.

Also it's beautiful and heartbreaking and makes me want to watch the whole show again every time I watch it, that is also a thing.

Man, I love that vid, and I don't even know the show. The great song choice does so much character work. <3
