Comfort vids
Jan. 18th, 2009 06:42 pmThese videos are just ones I enjoy rather than collected for any particular technique reasons (although that doesn't mean they're not good) - these are my comfort videos if you will.
This Kiss by wesleysgirl
Multi-fandom. Song: 'This kiss' by Faith Hill. Does exactly what it says on the tin. I have it downloaded and must have watched it every day for about a month afterwards to cheer me up.
Love Lockdown by obsessive24
BSG. Cain/Gina. Song: 'Love lockdown' by Kanye West. Cain loses, Gina loses, the humans lose, the Cylons, well...who knows, exactly, yet? Stunning.
You make me wanna by obsessive24
Skins. Tony/Maxxie. Song: 'You make me wanna' by Usher. I know the canon text gives a lot to work with but the precision and perfection of this vid is just incredible - the pefect match of visuals, rhythm and music. o24 is the best vidder I have come across, without question.
Kamikaze by thandie
Equilibrium. Cleric John Preston. Song: 'Kamikaze' by P.J. Harvey. Looks amazing, sounds amazing. What's not to like.
Fight Club: Circus by genrocks
Fight Club. Gen. Song: 'Circus' by Britney Spears. Great source material, of course, and despite what seems like a silly song choice, there's a detailed attention to the lyrics here. I guess it probably only works if you have seen the film though, and can pick up the references. Lots of nice changing of pace in the vid to match the music.
Beverly Hills by Gianduja Kiss
Merlin. Gen. Song: 'Beverly Hills' by Weezer. He might complain, but Merlin digs his new life. Silly, but perfect.
Persuasion - Other side of the World by AnneDarcy
Persuasion (1995 film). Anne Elliott / Captain Wentworth. Song: 'Other Side of the World' by KT Tunstall. My Amanda Root has the biggest eyes in the world doesn't she? This is a very simple film, but sweet. Yearning, loss, and fulfilment.
If I was your girl by Danegen
Merlin (BBC). Merlin/Arthur. Song: 'If I was your girl' by Janet Jackson. I guess I am just a sucker for pacy songs. The thing I like about this is the way it is put together very much like a music video. It's like mainlining sex, romance and slash right out of the screen. The GREAT feature of this vid is the dance break omg.
Lost trailer by The TV company
Lost. Gen. Not a fanvid - made by the TV company. Song: 'Numb' by Portishead. It's a shame it's not available in higher quality format.
Supernatural: Fun With Real Audio Parts One, Two, Three and Four by maichan2
I don't quite know how to explain the greatness of these vids in human language. I have never loled so much and so repeatedly at a fanvid. Very clever splicing of chosen audio and added text into clips from SPN, as well as J2 in outtakes, other appearances etc. The editing is unassuming but excellent. Run and see. Also this.
