Finished Doctor Who!

Well I had to finish before kitkatbyte ;) But OMFG THE LAST THREE EPISODES!!!!

Best three parter EVER.

( Spoilers Through Last of the Time Lords )

If you had a DW post that I missed when the episodes first came out, link me to it!

And if you haven't seen fan_eunice's glorious video, Moons of Jupiter, an adorable Doctor Who video featuring many, many hugs than I highly recommend seeing it. It's cute and bouncy with wonderful timing and fun Ten movement. Basically, it is love.

Still kind of stuck on VVC con reports and vid feedback but hopefully will be able to get to it soon. I swore to myself that this year I would actually get it all done. I just...miss Vividcon and the wild excitement that it brought that helped with my motivation to get all the writing and stuff done. Is it next August yet?

More Vid Recs from Vividcon

So here's my complete list of some of my favorite vids from Vividcon. These are not the only good vids from the con but the ones that stick out to me whether because of originality, emotion, movement or favorite show.

Vogue (300) by sockkpuppett: This is a memorizing vid that uses split screen, motion with sped up/slowed down footage and color to beautiful effect. Also, there are pretty, pretty men. A must watch no matter if you've seen the movie or not. Female gaze, FTW!
Women's Work (Supernatural) by sisabet and sockkpuppett: This is the part of the Supernatural that most people would like to ignore. The visual treatment of women on the show can be disturbing and offensive to watch all at once but it's all from the show and vidded with the greatness you can expect with these two vidders. A feminist vid that really needs to be seen and thought about no matter your conclusions.
Snakes on a Plane (Harry Potter) by dualbunny: The song choice makes the vid with all the awesome snake imagery in Harry Potter and little!Harry having to grow up to face the world. Hilarious clip choices and fantastic use of motion. Another great Harry Potter vid, yay!
Want (Supernatural) by destina: Deliciously dark and sexy evil point of view vid with the lyrics fitting incredibly well. Visually this vid is stunning with distinctive images, overlays, parallels and motion. And taken from fandom's pov, it only gets better.
Sugar (Smallville) by keewick: I never thought I'd see the day a good vid about Lana would premiere at Vividcon but this one completely blew me away. It shows Lana's relationships with Whitney, Clark and Lex and why she's with with them. The imagery is incredibly beautiful and the song choice is perfect for all the different aspects in her life.
West of Her Spine (Dexter) by sweetestdrain: Incredibly disturbing in a very, very good way. The music has the underlying dark edge to it that works for a great twist in the point of view character showing both the true and false sides to his soft sides. A unique and very affecting Dexter vid.
Martina (Veronica Mars) by keewick: I was so excited to see a VM vid and this one did not disappoint at all. Also, I totally guessed this one was by Keely and I suck at guessing but the distinctive song choice and quick cutting with emotional impact gave it away for me. It explores the rape arcs on Veronica Mars with frightening images as well as the way Veronica stays strong throughout it. The clicks of shoes walking and the internal motion in this particularly win me over.
Beethoven's Fifth of Gold Digger (Gone With The Wind) by absolutedestiny: You would not expect Kanye West's Goldigger to work with the movie but it does somehow. I love the cutting and the great clip-lyric matches especially. The underlying gender and race issues are interesting as well which absolutedestiny talks about in his LJ.
Filthy Mind (Multifandom) by sol_se: So many amazing parallels between shows in this vid. If you vid three rains of bloods, I am almost guarenteed to love the vid. Not to mention Faith and Sam (from Life on Mars) dancing. The cutting is great either quickly pulling you into all the great associations or lingering on the best ones as well as the motions all moving right into one another. Very, very cool.
Nothing New (Firefly) by heresluck: Oh, MAL. A beautiful, heartbreaking look at the Mal/Inara relationship with perfect song choice (as usual) and such pretty motion. If the last clip doesn't break your heart, there's nothing I can do to help you.

Speaking of Baltar, when I first watch Battlestar Galactica, I hated him. I thought he was scum of the earth who deserved to die horribly. But then I stopped taking him seriously. Now I see him as funny and enjoy him from a distance. I even have a bit of a fondness for him. It definitely helps me enjoy the show more.

I have all the VVC discs burned on my computer now so I have a great playlist with all of them plus the auction vids. It's lots of fun to listen to and go back and watch. I collected a bunch of vid discs from Vividcon including 2004 Premieres (which I'm SO happy to have), heresluck's vids (she's currently taking orders for them here), greensilver and cherryice's vids, morgandawn and friends' vids, gwyn_r and friends' vids and absolutedestiny's vids. And melina123's vid DVD should be coming soon. Not a bad collection along with my VVC2005, VVC2006, Bascon and Escapade discs. I love seeing vids on TV and high quality on my computer.

I finished Stargate Atlantis! I enjoyed it except for ( Spoiler for 3x17 Sunday )

Still in love with Rodney and excited for next season. I hope they continue to make more character focused episodes and 3-D villians.

I cannot wait for The Office DVDs come out! I probably won't finish my vids for the show until after they do so I can have shiny DVD vids. My plan to begin trying to vid everyday is stalled at the moment as I try to finish VVC stuff but I really hope I can start soon. My New Year's resolution was to "Vid More. Vid Better." so I'm hoping actively trying to make vidding a habit will help with the first part. I have 10 vids I'd like to finish by the end of the year or at least by January so we'll see how that goes.
