Vid Recs Please

[brigdh]

I'm in the mood to watch vids. I've never paid much attention to them, so does anyone have recs for some good ones, whether past or present, well-known or obscure? I prefer fandoms I'm in, or things I at least have a vague familiarity with, but feel free to mention anything.

In return, I recommend Climbing Up the Walls (Heroes/Firefly/Supernatural) by obsessive24, which is beautiful and creepy and awesome. It's my favorite of the vids from Vividcon 2008, though in truth I haven't seen many of them.

So! What vids do you like?

Climbing Up the Walls was amazing. I've been watching more vids lately, so I actually do have some to pass along.

Move by Astarte (http://www.imeem.com/astarte/video/dxovwVA-/astarte_xf_move/): very neat XF vid which both deconstructs how Scully is fanboy'ed and fanboys her like crazy.

newkidfan (http://www.imeem.com/colordrop/video/)'s SGA vids are interesting, really different in style. The tree (http://www.imeem.com/colordrop/video/CiGihygv/newkidfan_sga_the_tree_tv_video/) I remember liking.

Gianduja's 007 vid (http://www.imeem.com/giandujakiss/video/wY7GlvrP/gianduja_kiss_007_derkommissar_art_video/) is fun. Every cheesy Bond moment combined.

You've probably seen Gloria (http://www.imeem.com/sweetestdrain/video/sM2KM-xj/sweetestdrain_tscc_gloria_art_video/) from Vividcon. Loved the song.

Supernatural, Stargate SG-1, Firefly, Farscape (http://destina.livejournal.com/411786.html) (the one at the bottom). It's got angsty men, and they walk alone.

I have also shamelessly stolen this song to make my own vid.

Looks awesome, thanks!

Amvs too, or would you prefer vids?

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, both. I thought they were synonyms. Are AMVs different than vids? Other than being based on anime rather than live action sources, I suppose.

Er. (http://lynndyre.livejournal.com/61145.html) Hope you like some of these?

Did you ever see VH1's popup video? Here's Spike & Buffy to I Touch Myself (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45qfJlampSw).

This one's a little abstract, but I love its loveletter-to-fandomness. Regina Spektor's Us (http://www.imeem.com/sublim/video/LQU2ToIY/us/) by Lim.

Sisabet's vids are pretty great.

I like astolat's as well. You can find them here (http://intimations.org/vidding/).

And f1renze was one of my first introductions to vids. They make some pretty awesome ones over here (http://www.kitzeproductions.net/).

Here's a a Jack Sparrow vid (http://permetaform.livejournal.com/198865.html). (http://sisabet.livejournal.com/220944.html)

Ooo, I really liked that vid. I've always enjoyed that song, and it just added to it.

Also, this is a delayed reaction, but it was good to see you again at Dragon*Con, though unexpectedly. :)
