Rake It In - By Imogen Heap

I am here again
Tied up in your torture frame
Printed paper, guilty to blame
The story stays the same

Dry me out, Run me down
Burn me up
And rake it in, you rake it in, yeah
Dry me out, Run me down
Burn me up
And rake it in, you rake it in
Rake it in, you rake it in, yeah

A slave upon your plate
I am your dreams, yeah your life and your bait
Selfish schemes, I proceed, you await
You my indefinite hate

Dry me out, Run me down
Burn me up
And rake it in, you rake it in, yeah
Dry me out, Run me down
Burn me up
And rake it in, you rake it in
Rake it in, you rake it in

Do you know what my chopping blocks for?
Do you know what my hanging braids for?
Do you know what my chamber maids for?
Do you know what I, what I have in store for you?

Dry me out, Run me down
Burn me up
rake it in, rake it in

Dry me out, Run me down
Burn me out
And rake it in, you rake it in, yeah
Dry me down, Run me out
Burn me up
And rake it in, you rake it in
Rake it in, you rake it in, yeah

Rake it in some more

Beneath The Rose Awards
I really love how you captured the essence of what it would be like to be a doll. As well as how used and manipulated they are by the people around them. You did an excellent job of showing their pain and confusion, while still managing to present them as they are in their “active” state. Which only made their situation sadder to watch. I also loved your use of overlays. They added a whole new dimension to the vid that otherwise would not have been present. I especially liked the overlay you did for the scraping sound in the song. It was really cool and helped make your vid something special.

Chosen One Awards
The start and the ending of this video were really well thought of. I thought the song choice fit the show perfectly. I think it is hard to vid to Dollhouse but you made this so well you obviously don’t have the same problem. I loved your matching of scenes to ‘rake it in’, very apt!

BBM Awards
Cec: Beautiful overlays! I love all the effects you use. The scenes work perfectly with the sounds of the song and the edits slow smoothly with the rhythm. This is a unique video that held my interest the whole time! The awesome visual effects combined with a song that isn't your typical "vid" song created an awesome experience! I love the editing on the sequence about 2:20 seconds in when the song picks up and the editing is fast and furious! Amazing work!! I love the whole ending sequence. Beautifully done!

MVA Awards
This video was absolutely stunning. From an editing, music selection, scene selection, and storytelling aspect it's beautiful and your visual effects though subtle were perfectly chosen. Dollhouse for it's short run is a fairly complex show and I think you captured it's esscence. I was very impressed by your music selection because lyrically you couldn't have chose a better song for this fandom and I feel that even people who are unaware of the shows concept can clearly understand the story. I also admire the very dream like atmosphere you created and how you portrayed each of the actives against the dollhouse. My favorite part is 1:50-2:35. Very Creative. This sequence is fast paced and has an interesting climax. Great Job, Andrea!
