Im really liking the idea of the white dress morphing into a black gown. I just hope its done properly and doesnt look to fake. that's my problem with "Roman's computer animation". :(

Yeah, looks like a Roman video to me as well. So I'm just gonna hope for the best. i bet the wedding dress will morph into the black mourning gown, using one of romans computer animations... Oh man that's a great idea. I really hope that happens...

If you look closely at the pictures, the wedding gown and the black dress have the same neckline. Or at least it looks to me the same.

It looks like everything is reality, except when she is in the white dress (seeing as how she may be dreaming of having a wedding.) So I think the ones she is in a normal looking dress will be her memories, and the Wedding dress is her imagining the wedding, and the black dress for when she is mourning.

I love this song - especially that acoustic version.
Did Carrie ever mention why she chose this song topic over others or any hint what motivated her? Was it her experience with the USO in Iraq or just the composers offering JAD? My apologies if I missed something.

I think she's mentioned that she loves the melody of the song and that it didn't really matter what the subject matter was, she would still love the song.

On the Sirius Radio thing she did this weekend, Carrie said that the song writers had written the song for her specifically. She loved it from the first listen and was the first song she knew was going on the album and thought it would be the first single.

I don't really think Carrie looks like a "Mrs. Jonathon Roberts"... or just a "Mrs. Roberts" for that matter, either....
I wish I could chip into the mass confusion over the lyrics, but I haven't heard this yet.

I think it is possible that Carrie will play a modern war widow-- hence the 2008 letter...but then they will flashback to the 1960s, etc-- to show her as a vietnam war widow. Not sure- it is a bit confusing.
Unless- the letter was an inside joke, and no one was supposed to see the actual date of 2008. These caps are from insiders, clearly. Perhaps we wouldn't get to read the actual letter on the video itself-- so they will stick to the retro Vietnam War theme.

Roman probably made a mistake. Well, I wouldn't put it past him. I'm particularly frustrated right now because he just RUINED a touching Reba song so I'm scared as hell with he'll do with this song.

Well, one thing that picture means is that she actually DID get married before he died in action, which is NOT what I thought. I thought he died BEFORE they got the chance to get married.

maybe modern-day carrie lost her grand-dad in the war in the 60s, and witnessed her grandma's grief, and experiences the loss of her own husband in today's time. so carrie plays both modern day carrie and carrie's grandma in the 60s. i just hope they don't overdo the grief in the video Oh man that's a great idea. I really hope that happens... Obviously we are all different because that sound SO cheesy to me. *Fingers crossed for the video to look good* that was my thought too when i mentioned it.

I bet we don't even see the date on the letter in the vid. I remember LN had a couple of pics of scenes that weren't in the vid either.

I have the same feelings as you. I just watched the "Every Other Weekend" video, and I agree that he ruined it (I gave my full opinion over on the Reba thread. This song is probably my favorite current single on the radio now). I just hope he doesn't ruin "Just A Dream." Carrie does seem like quite the actress in those pictures, but I'm a tad worried based on them because Carrie seems to be wearing several different outfits and seems to be in many different places. I worry that Roman will not follow the actual storyline, which I think is necessary.

The music director at KKWF told me that she received a radio edit that is 4:32, and that they might edit even more, and that it's mostly the ending instrumental. Have a nice day.

I love the ending instrumental! They should cut it down though. It may be a little to long for radio.

This was just digitally sent out to radio. The radio edit is 4:15.

I hope they don't cut the ending off. One of the most haunting parts of the song is the ending.

Well, one thing that picture means is that she actually DID get married before he died in action, which is NOT what I thought. I thought he died BEFORE they got the chance to get married. unless that is still just a dream, as in the song. I think the wedding never actually happened, and she was dreaming that it did-- to avoid the reality of his death. I don't think they actually got married. That photo could be carrie dreaming of their wedding-- before the dress turns to black for the funeral, and reality. The letter may not have been meant for us to see the date. ^^ some of you guys really hate Roman, huh? lol I think he has moments of brilliance, like BHC and the Wasted Video- which I loved. I also liked AAG despite what some people said- because it was cute. I was most dissapointed in JTTW as it should have followed the story line. SS was good- but it was too distracting with too many story lines. I loved parts of it though. LN was very good I thought- except for the end because the wedding scene took too long. I loved Elvis though. lol I am curious what a different director would do with carrie- I admit...but I do like alot of Roman's work. I just think-- one time at least- she should branch out to someone else to see what direction he or she would take her. I loved Faith Hill's English director, who did Stealing Kisses. That was beautiful.

I worry that Roman will not follow the actual storyline, which I think is necessary. That's exactly my thoughts but since I was labelled as "negative" at Carriefans, I'd rather keep my mouth shut. lol I really think Roman overthinks the concept of some of his videos. Sometimes a simple video, following the storyline of the song do the job much better than a very complicated one.

I think we have similar tastes (teams AAG and JAD! ), I don't have any particular issues with most of his videos except SS and JTTW, but I definitely think Carrie should try other directors to see what's out there. She deserves the best and how can she know what is the best if she doesn't even try working with different people? I have the same fears with Mark Bright, Hillary Lindsey, etc., like there's this Nashville mafia of people Carrie is comfortable working with that isolate her and will prevent her from growing to her full potential as an artist.

"The department of the Army deeply regrets to inform you that your husband *something* First Class, Jonathan Roberts, U.S. Army was killed in action in the performance of his duty and the service of this country."
so they were married ...
