summary & notes: Inspired by the events that have happened on

cuddys_house, though you do not have to follow that game in order to watch this vid.

This video is set not long after the shooting. It opens with House being unable to sleep, one of the symptoms of PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), and moves through a chaotic journey of House struggling to move on from the shooting and spiralling into a self-destructive cycle as a result. Through it all, Cuddy tries her hardest to help him through his ordeal, while going through her own kind of PTSD at the same time, having realised how close she was to losing House again. The vid ends on an unclear, uncertain note, which was deliberate - there is never an easy fix or answer to PTSD, and I wanted to give the idea that House's struggles with it are far from over. And I wanted to give the idea, too, with the shot of Cuddy asleep next to House, that she intends to stay with him through it all, no matter how tiring and draining it may be.

I focused a lot on using filters and close up shots to get the full effect of the emotions on both House and Cuddy's faces. I've used this filter before - in my 'Passive' video - but I tweaked and fiddled with it to give it a dark, voyeuristic kind of effect. There's no clear-cut storyline and again, that's deliberate: I focused mainly on emotion, on the way House's PTSD causes him to feel and act chaotically and out of control of his own emotions, and the way Cuddy reacts and responds to that. I'm hoping that through the emotions I attempted to convey through this vid that the idea I was aiming for comes across clearly enough.

As always, comments and concrit are very much welcomed and appreciated. :-)

I’ve got this feeling, there’s something that I missed
(I could do most anything to you)
Don’t you breathe, don’t you breathe
(I could do most anything to you)
Something happened that I never understood
(I could do most anything to you)
You can’t leave, you can’t leave
(I could do most anything to you)

Every second dripping off my finger tips
(I could do most anything to you)
Wage your war, wage your war
(I could do most anything to you)
Another soldier says he’s not afraid to die
(I could do most anything to you)
I am scared, I'm so scared
(I could do most anything to you)

In slow motion the blast is beautiful
(I could do most anything to you)
Doors slam shut, doors slam shut
(I could do most anything to you)
A clock is ticking but it’s hidden far away
(I could do most anything to you)
Safe and sound(safe), safe and sound(safe)
(I could do most anything to you)

I could do most anything to you
I could do most anything to you
