A little bit of weekend vid reccing

[starrylizard]

I just feel like recommending a few more of my fave vids. If there's a theme this time, it's that these vids aren't in my main fandoms and have therefore popped up onto my radar by wonderful chance or through other people's recommendations. :)

A few more older vids that are on my favourites play list:
Title: Beethoven's Fifth Gold Digger by absolutedestiny
Fandom: Gone With the Wind
Audio: Beethoven's Fifth Gold Digger by A Plus D (mashup of Kayne West's Gold Digger and Walter Murphy's Fifth of Betthoven)

This is just delightful! Gone with the wind, but more from Rhett's POV I guess. It matches the song much better than you'd imagine. Really! :)


Title: Secret Agent Man by fahrbotdrusilla
Music: ‘Secret Agent Man’ Cover by Blues Traveler
Fandom: Spooks/MI-5
Characters: Tom, Ellie & Maisie
Spoilers: The end of the first series.
A cautionary tale of mixing family with espionage.

I miss Tom so much and I wander back to this vid on a regular basis just to squee over him. Perfect music choice and it's fun and makes me smile and bop along. And of course, excellent editing as always.


Title: Right Through Your Eyes by Loki
Fandom: Dark Angel
Song: Where Will You Go by Evanescence
Category: Character study of Ben-Alec

I love the editing on this one. It's flawlessly pretty and I'll watch it just for that. I also usually hate and despise vids to Evanescence songs, but this one (a) is a version I've never heard that is funky and (b) fits beautifully, so I can't fault that at all. I admit I now love a vid that features an Evanescence song. lol. The flashbacks and the final voice over... all so heartbreaking. I loved Alec and Ben in the series and I love this vid.


And a new vid that popped up today
Title: Ashes to Ashes Trailer by theanonsisters
Music: In The Air Tonight by Gregorian
Fandom: Ashes to Ashes
Spoilers: Clips used to end of series two

This looks absolutely professional. Very nicely edited and very effective. I'd go watch the show based on this... if I hadn't already seen it. :)

HA! OMG Liz, what an old vid lol Thank you!I'm glad you liked this version of the song, cause I think the original from the album is too boring. I vidded it just because of this version and, well, because it really fits the character too well.
*beams*

*grins* Well I did mention they're older vids that are on my favourites playlist. You're welcome. I do love that one! :)

I didn't recognize the name of the Evanescence song in the Dark Angel vid, so I thought I'd check it out (since I DO like their music :P), and HOLY CRAP SO AWESOME!!! I've never seen past the first few eps of Dark Angel, but that almost made me want to. Almost. ;)

Isn't it made of awesome! It's so damn pretty! And Alec was really the character that made S2 of DA worth watching and Ben (who is pretty much psychotic and gets killed - Alec is basically a clone of him) made a huge impact on me even though he was only in one episode. And this vid really is so perfect for him/them. :)

Basically with DA, S1 is much better than S2, but S2 has Alec in it and he is awesome, so *shrugs* you end up watching it all. I watched it back when it was on the telly and again a few years back when Rinne leant me her DVDs. It's really rather a fun series once you get used to the street talk they use. :)

Bwahaha! I just re-read this post and it sounds like a 13-year-old girl is squeeing, so I'm gonna shut up now. :P

Hey, nothing wrong with 13-year-old squeeing, heehee! I do it all the time. ;)

I do intend to watch DA one day. When I'm very, very bored. :P I watched the first few eps when it first aired, but quickly lost interest. Which is sad, because it was such a cool idea.

Yeah, it was a great idea that never quite worked. But there was usually enough action etc, to keep me amused. Plus I think it may have been on just before the X-files or something that I always watched. :)
