Music Video Master List (as of 8/11/06)*
* basically means that these were made before I had alchemic_dreams. And like 90% of these were made before I even posted them anywhere. So don't worry about looking for the original posts with these because there ARE none lol. - & -

Incomplete (Backstreet Boys)
This is one of the hardest videos i have ever done. It started out fine, but then I ran into some problems, and i dont know why. I finished it, but i didnt feel that awesome feeling that i usually do when i finish a vid, so i knew that something was wrong. So, i posted the first draft of the vid and asked for honest feedback, and thank you to those who gave it, it was really helpful. Most people liked it but had some suggestions for improvement. When i was reading what they were saying, i was like, "what?!" But then i watched it with their critiques in mind and i was like, "oh god, what was i thinking?!" So, i fixed it, and its better now, and im really happy with how it finally turned out.
Sweetest Goodbye (Maroon 5)
I have been so obsessed with Maroon 5 lately, so im glad i could make this work. It starts out with S8 Scully, lost and alone, and then leads to some flashbacks as well. Such a pretty song. There are some parts that im not sure if I like or not, but there are some that i absolutely adore. Anyways, I'd love to hear what you think of it. Hope you like it!
Walk On (U2)
I started this video and then left it for a month and then came back and finished it. Its about everyone saying goodbye to the x-files. I used a bunch of stuff from the making of the truth special, its full of great stuff. Lots of hugs and tears, but also some laughter. It's so sad how it's gone, i almost feel like it isnt. I miss it so much. Anyway, i hope this vid shows that everyone who worked on the show made a home there, and that they all became very very close.
My Valentine (Martina McBride)
I am so obsessed with this song now. It's so pretty. It makes me cry because I miss them so much. I had set aside to do another video first, but then i found this and had to fix up a video for Valentine's day. This one is dedicated to all my ladies from the crib and also to my biggest fans, especially terry_emory. There is a lot of clips in this one that I haven't really used before, and there are a few that I haven't seen in any vids. So i'm hoping that this element will set it apart. I only wish the song was longer... hahaha, enjoy.
The One (Elton John)
Finding this song was accidental, I was looking for my "AKS Shipper MSR: Memento Mori--the Music Video edition" soundtrack (yes, it rocks. If you want, I'll give you the list of songs.) that I had made, when I came across this one instead. I listened to it, and I couldnt NOT do this song. See, I have a list of songs that I need to do, and I'm trying to work my way down, but I just HAD to do this one immediately. I stayed up all of Christmas eve, and sat here for literally about 11 hours straight making this puppy. But I'm so glad, and I promise you, that if you are a shipper, that this will be worth your time. So take a look. THIS IS MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE. DOWNLOAD THIS ONE.
Here's To The Nights (Eve 6)
This song is just way too perfect for the MSR. As I was listening to it for the first time, I had no problem at all thinking of clips to fit the lyrics, what a beautiful song. I am very proud of this one. I really like it because it shows a lot of different sides to their story. The good times, the bad times and everything in between. Enjoy.
Fall To Pieces (Avril Lavigne)
I love this song...so yay! This vid is filled with subtle moments that are my favorite. The cute little flirty moments that you might have missed. *ahem* gazing in "firewalker" *ahem*, and the list goes on and on. Yeah...this was my first XF vid ever...Hope you likey-like!
Colorblind (Counting Crows)
I found this song and I fell in love with the idea of it being set to a music video. However, I had the hardest time deciding what aspect of the show it captured: cancer arc? the search for mulder, maybe? Well, I noticed that each the options dealt with scully as its main focus, so instead of having it document her search for mulder, it documents her search for herself. It is an episodic video of "all things", the episode written and directed by Gillian. Also, this is the first video that I have made using Windows Movie Maker. I like it.
Frozen (Madonna)
This is the first video that I ever made that dealt with a subject other than my danceteam. I really like how it ended up, and I especially like how the instrumental section of the song fits PERFECTLY with the scene of Cath and Sean on the floor after they fight...so watch for that, it rocks, and I didn't have to do any slowing down or anything, I just had to line it up right, I'm amazed.
Brighter Than Sunshine (Aqualung)
{ ORIGINAL POST }
This is my first Paula/Simon video, and it was a blast finding something else to vid. Nothing wrong with XF, but it was a fun change. This is such a cute song, and it's a lot of slow-motion interaction between America's two favorite judges... who happen to totally be doing it.
Only Love (Linda Eder)
{ ORIGINAL POST }
Ahhh this was a stroke of brilliance. I got this song in such a random way. So im just like, walking, and all of the sudden this song comes into my head. Except I could only remember a very very small part of it, so I had to google those two lines and i figured it out, read the rest, and it was SO saula. I'd heard it about 7 years ago at a dance recital. Who knew, huh. Anyways, LOTS and LOTS of people like this one, it makes them cry, get goosebumps, etc. And I got a lot of "this is the best saula vid i've ever seen. let's seriously mail this to Ryan Seacrest" with this one. It basically is TRYING to tell Simon and Paula to just get together already. Don't be afraid... it's only love. No big deal.
What a Feeling (Flashdance)
I heard this and got a concept brewing in my head, and it was so powerful that it made me cry. So I started it immediately and sat her for 20, yes 20, hours straight. But it was, without a doubt, THE MOST fun i've EVER had making a video. If you are a Paula fan, you've got to see this. It's a montage of Paula's videos, and a testament to dancers everywhere and that "feeling" you get when you're out there, just giving it your all, everything you've got, and using dance as an outlet for any bad things you might be going through. Know what I mean? It's an indescribable feeling, it just is, I can't explain it. But if you're a serious dancer, then you've felt it and know EXACTLY what im talking about. So i wanted to communicate that, and then show that Paula is so into dance and it's such a huge part of her and it's always been there for her. And she never lets people knock her down. Because she always has her dancing to pick her back up again. PAULA ABDUL IS THE SHIT, you guys.
