So here is my Giant list of Vid Recs from Vividcon. I encourage everyone to check them out even if it's not a fandom you watch, they really are that good. Keep in mind this list is just my personal favorites that fit my preferences including source, song and vidding likes so it may not fit yours and it certainly isn't a list of all the great vids at Vividcon. First, my personal favorites:
American Tune by ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png) trelkez, The West Wing, Ensemble (major spoilers for S1-7): FAVORITE VID OF THE CON! This vid was such a surprise to me as I was NOT expecting any TWW vids and then I saw this perfect love song to my show and my people and it made my very soul the happiest person on earth. It lovingly let's the emotions of the characters shine and takes you on an intense roller coaster ride of emotions, letting you pause to experience each one no matter whether it's pain or Team love or patriotic joy. It kills me to watch this but I go back again and again because I love these people and I LOVE THIS VID SO MUCH OMG!
Beautiful Dirty Rich by astolat and merryish, American Idol, Adam Lambert: OMG I LOVE THIS VID SOOO MUCH! Perfect fandom timing as I get into my beloved Adam and this vid captures so much of what I love of him, the sexiness, the edge, the cuteness (smiles!), the hearts and sparkles, the smoking hot photoshoots, the fun and of course, the Adam/Kris love. In short, it makes me very, very happy and has been on repeat approximately 200 times.
Say Hey (I Love You) by sdwolfpup, The Obamas: This is THE love song (in vid form) to Barack and Michelle for giving us hope again and making us fall in love with what could be, what we can do and now what is. I love how it blends still and video footage and shows off how they are both such dorks and a beautiful romantic love story. I LOVE YOU OBAMA. Even when it's only the idea.
Can Delight by jescaflowne, Multifandom: This is the MINDBLOWING EFFECTS VID OF AWESOME! I am still in amazement and can't take my eyes off all the flying cheerleaders and pretty and effects. There is Buffy and Faith and Claire and it is filled with joy. Wow, just wow.
Break Teen Spirit in Four Minutes by bananainpyjamas, Wanted: I LOVE THIS VID! So much energy, beaaaaautiful motion and such dynamic use of the motion. I love this mashup, so, so much (especially the Teen Spirit parts) and there are so many shots in this vid that make me gasp with their perfection. Another vid that's been on repeat a lot.
Bromance? by wickedwords and sherrold, Multifandom: OMGSQUEE!! This vid makes me super happy and not just because it has a wonderful section devoted to House/Wilson that makes my heart burst into singing love songs. It's cute and charming, the song is perfect and the end is endlessly satisfying. In conclusion, love (and the answer is romance!).
Thriller by buffyann, Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Supernatural: Perfect song + Perfect source + Perfect editing = Perfect vid. I love the OMWF footage in this SO much and all of the clips fit the creepiness of the song exactly and seamlessly flow into each other. Wow.
Metaphor by cesperanza and flummery, Multifandom: So much fun! The song seems written for fans especially with the hilarious use of phallic (and other) imagery. And the little bits of House made me super happy to see cause I'm a crazy fan like that.
Mad About You by gwyn_r, Mad Men, Betty, Joan, Peggy (some Betty/Don, Joan/Roger and Peggy/Pete): MAD MEN VID!! That alone is worth a rec but this is a beautiful vid (and song) showcasing the women of Mad Men and their relationships with the men of Mad Men with a wonderful framing device and heartbreaking execution.
Hard Sun by bradcpu and laurashapiro, Firefly, Ensemble: This is a love letter to Firefly and to how we go through our lives as fans and it makes me so happy to see that I'm not the only one, just like fandom does. Beautiful use of outside footage and cues to signal events outside the source.
( Vid Recs for Slings & Arrows, Terminator: TSCC, Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Multifandom, Dexter, Burn Notice, Better Than Chocolate, Harry Potter, Supernatural, Heroes, Dollhouse, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Life, Fantasia, Vidding, Leverage, Wonderfalls, Californication and Merlin )
Sorry for so much reccing but there was SO many great vids at VVC and I didn't want to miss any and that's not even taking into account some AWESOME ones I left out. Vividcon = Vid Christmas.
Do any other vidders wish they had a vid idea on/off switch so that you could turn it off when you wanted to NOT get any vid ideas and any ones you would have thought of would stay unconscious til you turned the switch on again? Cause I really need one of those right now after getting attacked by another vid idea I don't have time to vid right now. There could even be a filter for fandom if say you only wanted vid ideas for a certain fandom or NOT in a certain fandom as the case may be. If only... |
