Vids of the Months

[amnisias]

Look at that - I've not posted any of the 'Vids of the Months' for the last 18 months! Have the recs for 2013, for any previous recs see here (appologies to those who I did not post). Let me know if you find any bad links, it's a cut & past job from my web page, and the html sometimes gets 'Lost in Translation'.

Somebody That I Used To Know by froggimus_rex:

I'm a big fan of vids for rare source, and this one hits all my kinks. This BBC miniseries is both visually as dramatically excellent, but difficult to watch. I did not ever expect anybody to be able to pull of to vid it and do it justice, but boy, do I love to be proven wrong.  (The Fall)

[November 13]
Stars, Skies, Boats & Seas by AnnaGiuliaFiction:

To everyone I found and everyone I lost...Thank you for staying, or - if you had to leave, thank you for the stardust you left for me to remember you by.  (Multi)

[October 13]
Here I am by tearful_eye:

A most joyous vid, uplifting, beautiful and dynamic. The vidder turns a schmoopy love song into a celebration of dragons, fandom and life! (Dragons)

[September 13]
Hymn to the Hollow by beccatoria:

Sleepy Hollow is a brillinat new show which offers OTT silliness, drama, supernatural history and emotions in equal messures. This vid hones in on the feels and the relationships, I love the music choice and editing. (The Ike & Abby Show)


[August 13]
Barton Hollow by fan_eunice:

This vid is as dramatic, emotional and disturbing as the source but also adds further layers - a great exploration of the main characters.  (Homeland)


[July 13]
Bad Things by niyalune:

An exploration of how the adults are violent and abusive towards the teens in ways that can be described as sexually charged, without the kids ever consenting. (Teen Wolf)


[June 13]
The Price of Imagination by meivocis:

In honor of the weirdest, creepiest, goriest, most disturbing New Kid on the Block Box. This vid makes great use of the stunning visuals and creates a dream-like atmosphere to show us what it's like to be Will Graham.  (Hannibal)

[May 13]
Somewhere a Clock is Ticking by obsessive24:

Visually stunning source, brilliant vidder and Shakespeare - a match made in heaven! There was nobody who did not know who the vidder of this festivid was. (Hollow Crown)

[April 13]
Shake It Out by mresundance:

My fav from last year's VVC. Beautiful source and powerful song that work on so many levles - as a tragic love story, as re-framing of history or as an allegorical tale. Whichever way you read it - it's very affecting (The New World - Movie)


[March 13]
Never Fogotten, Never Coming Back by StrangerInTokyo:

A very effective vid that makes the best use of a hauntigly beautiful song and harrowingly beautiful source. Great use of text and lyrics as well. No prior knowledge of source required. (NaPolA)

[February 13]
Falling Earth by Faith:

The end of the world as we know it, depressing yet beautiful. (Multifandom)


[January 13]
Rid of Me  by condnsdmlk:

Love & pain combined in a seductive mix of carnal desires and deep emotional conections, this vid is in turn touching, harrowing and sexy.  (Legend of the Seeker)

Your links are kind of messed up. I only tried two, but both went to the wrong vids, so you might want to check them all. (Shake it Out goes to We're An American Band, and The Hollow Crown link goes to Falling Sky.)

Thanks for the heads up - I copy and past html, and then stuff like this happens. It's all fixed now, though.

[condnsdmlk.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the rec!

Also: I really liked 'Somebody That I Used to Know', I hadn't seen the vid and it was well worth watching.

[amnisias.livejournal.com]

Thanks for making great, reccable vids!

Also: The Fall is a BBC mini series about a seriel killer, I never expected anybody to vid this, both because of the subject matter, and because it's not generated any fandom interest. And I was really blown away how well the (new-to-me) vidder pulled it off.
