Life is about the journey not the destination.

A multifandom vid I made for the Annual Sci Fi and Fantasy-Friendly Service (aka the Church of Latter-Day Geeks; May 2014).

Made for educational purposes, not for profit. Thanks to ash48 and ageless_aislynn for their super-helpful early input. And also thanks to those who gave me clip idea on my earlier journal post without knowing why. You all rock! Hopefully it screened today at the sermon without a hitch. :D

Hi everybody and anybody reading this,

I am trying to throw a multi-fandom vid together in rather a rush for an event and I could use some input from anyone who reads this. I need some poignant moments (in a visual sense - rather than the words being said in the scene) from any of the below-listed fandoms that encompasses the below-listed words for you. It can be anything that particularly stands out to you. Basically, the first scene you think of when you read the words.

If you could please throw me the episode number (and a time stamp if you have know it), I'd be ever so grateful.

The words:
Love
Faith
Hope
Loss
Death
Adventure
Friends/Companions
Family

Scenes from any of the following fandoms:
Firefly/Serenity
Supernatural
Marvel's Agents of Shield
Doctor Who (new series)
Stargate (SGA, SG1 or the original movie)
Merlin
The Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit

THANK YOU! xx

Hello people,

I want to make a Riley vid for Intelligence focusing on her being a strong woman doing her job as a protector. There's this feminist convention asking for vids and I kinda think I'd like to make this for it.

But I can't think of music. Any ideas would be very welcome. Please.
There's no right or wrong.

Hi guys!

I really want to vid Intelligence. Preferably a gen/overview type of vid. But, I'm having trouble thinking of a good song/music fit. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

ageless_aislynn! Have you seen this? Because I swear it was put on the interwebs for you personally! :D

I'm really enjoying Intelligence.

And not because the lead male is awesome, though I am enjoying his droll humour a lot, but mainly because here is a show that doesn't shy away from tough female characters with heart. Both Lillian and Riley are complete characters. Yes they can shoot or act tough, but that doesn't mean they aren't in touch with their emotions or that they can't have a sense of humour. I love that Riley looks up to Lillian as a role model in a world where she probably has few female role models. I love the interplay between Lillian and Riley full stop. I also love that the fact that these women do what they do and do it well, doesn't mean they are completely accepted in this man's world. There are numerous references, especially in the first episodes, to men (particularly Gabriel) feeling emasculated in the face of these women. And these women telling them to suck it up.

I pretty much love all the main characters they've set up, male and female. Don't get me wrong. I'm just particularly loving that I love these two wonderful strong female characters. It's rare and brilliant and I hope to hell the show isn't axed any time soon.

I'm also loving the snappy interplay between Gabriel and Riley. That they can be emotionally supportive of each other and that they can be so close, but always professional. Loving the interplay between Gabriel and the science geeks in charge of his health and well-being. Science geeks who are such caring creatures might I add - loving that too. They aren't cold and heartless or unemotional as so many scientists are portrayed. And they're perfectly capable of being brave-hearted. Their mother-henning and care of Gabriel is adorable. And Gabe's reactions are too! You can tell he quite likes it and is amused, all the while protesting that he's fine and would they stop now.

Ah, in short I have fallen in love with this show. A show I thought would just be a serious version of Chuck... which it sort of is, but it WORKS! It works so well! If you've given up on it, please watch beyond the first few episodes. It's worth it.

Anyone else watching? Got any recs for fic or where to find good stuff?
I'm hooked. :)

(Oh I need icons too!)

Does anyone know which episode of Arrow had the scene where Diggle was training Felicity how to fight?

Also desperately want a team!shot of Digg, Felicity, Arrow (and maybe even Sara or Roy if possible). You know those shots where they pan in and they're all just there together fighting the good fight? I'm sure there are some. There have to be.

I need them for a vid. Any help appreciated.
THANK YOU

I desperately want to vid Sara/Oliver (Canary/Arrow) for Arrow (gen, het, whatever). I think this likely would make me a very unpopular fan, which only makes it cooler! They should give that girl a spin-off series. She rocks! Girl + salmon ladder = Hells yes!

That is all. :D

Found out The Tomorrow People dude and the Arrow dude are cousins the other day. Stephen and Robbie Amell. Can I say, "awww". Also, can I please buy into that gene pool? Holy crap!

It's almost 2014 and I'm excited about it. I feel like this is going to be a good year. Bring on the Hobbit part 2, the fireworks and the cocktails! Wipe the slate clean. Let's go!
