vid recs

[tacit]

 I spent the day with nny and pennyplainknits (<3) and it turned into, as usual an 'Oooh, I LOVED that one!' recs bonanza.

I haven't posted anything fannish to DW/LJ in forever, so: here. Have some vid recs! None of them are very new, I think they've all been on harddrives on several historical laptops of mine but they're ones I come back to and love.

Vogue by luminosity. Fandom: 300. Gorgeous, gorgeous vid with a lot of really sharp, effective cuts and combinations of clips. Beautiful!

Handlebars by Seah and Margie. Fandom: Doctor Who. This vid still gives me goosebumps. I use it to try to lure non-fannish people into fandom. A constructed reality that is creepy and apt and alarmingly true.

Gummi Bears in Atlantis by Chayiana. Fandom: SGA. This vid just makes me laugh. It's ridiculous.

Anything for Love by astolat and Speranza. Fandom: multifandom. A vid about getting suckered into new fandoms. 

My Brilliant Idea by lim. Fandom: SGA. All of lim's vids are fantastic, but I think this one is my favourite. It also introduced me to Jason Robert Brown, whose music it is set to and who I love. It's a John/Rodney vid that's superbly executed with a lot of original touches that really add to McKay's narrative.

The Adventure - Neville Longbottom by Greensilver. Fandom: Harry Potter. This one is the newest addition to my collection of much loved vids. Neville was so unsung! 

You Can Call Me... by SDWolfpup. Fandom: dueSouth. Mostly memorable to me for some ace lipsynching, and for the way the characters fit the lyrics. Beautifully done.

What about you guys? Any other recs? I love vids but am not in that part of fandom at all and never really come across them anymore.

I LOVE The Adventure but it makes me cry like a baby. NEVILLE

I knooow! Each chorus fits each character so well, and the Benny/Betty lipsynch...! God, I loved Due South so much and this vids shows off a lot of why. <3

You made it home eventually, then! I overlooked Neville so much, but this vid? Neville was actually THE BEST. Poor Neville.

OMG two of my favorite people and one of my favorite things in one post?! What is this awesomeness?

It's brilliant to hear that you guys got together and had fun and great to see a post from you and I have been craving vid recs so this came at the perfect time.

Thank you! Will check everything out!

Also I had not seen The Adventure but now I am in tears and it's all your fault. *sobs*

Ugh, that vid is amazing! NEVILLE!

Do you still have a vast vault of vids? Any gooduns?

The external harddrive all my vids were on has inexplicably given up the ghost - I had some on my computer, but I'm gutted at how many of them are just gone now. D: I suppose I could look at my own rec posts and start reconstructing the collection...
