I started this vid back in 2015 while I was watching The Good Wife for the first time and about halfway through I realized this song (one of my personal favorites that inspires me) would work for a vid focusing on Alicia's career path which is one of my favorite parts of the show. While I was watching S4-6, I clipped the major moments that worked for the vid and also went back to put in the big moments from the Pilot and some other key scenes I remembered. However I didn't have the time or motivation to clip the rest of the show so I put the vid on the backburner, hoping to finish it someday. I had given up of finishing it when I was searching for a Challenge vid to make for Vividcon and realized this vid was perfect for the theme, full circle (see ending shots). I figured out I could clip mostly the big moments and cut the song choruses a little bit and was able to finish the vid in time. It's one of my favorites that I've made as I looove Alicia and I feel like I accomplished most of what I wanted to do.

This vid inspired me to watch The Good Wife... I just finished last week and returned to this vid. I love it so much, you get all the emotional highs and lows of the show and it's perfectly timed. And confining the scope to where you ended it, skipping the end of the 6th season and all of the 7th, is a really cool choice that does work extremely nicely for the idea of Full Circle. I love that you resisted the obvious but more problematic Full Circle of ending with Diane's slap.
