Six SGA vid recs
So, me and adelate started talking about vids the other day and the fact that she hadn't seen some of my absolute favourites inspired me to finally do some reccing. These are all SGA but they're so amazing that many should be accessible even to people outside the fandom. If you do decide to check them out, please tell me (and the vidder *g*) what you think. I'd love to squee or hear your thoughts on them, maybe especially if you're not that into SGA.
Atlantis! by Clucking Belles: Sandy & Rache (sherrold and wickedwords) or on their site.
SGA | ensemble gen (and slash) | Rodney McKay/John Sheppard
SGA does Oklahoma. (Yes, I mean the musical and no, I'm not kidding). Seriously, go watch this now. Even if I can't classify it. It's the best!

SGA | gen, humour | Rodney McKay
The ultimate McKay vid. Excellent song choice, fast-paced and hilarious. Shows what a wickedly funny and expressive man McKay is. Just look at his hands!

SGA | slash, humour | McKay/Sheppard
I feel pretty and witty and gay!
West Side Story with a twist. I love my fandom!
Welcome to the Black Parade by kitakatzz
SGA | gen | John Sheppard
Fandoms collide! I was initially apprehensive because the song is so long and starts out slow but it really works. This is the vid that made me want to watch SGA again after I briefly fell out of love with the canon. Because they take everything the Pegasus galaxy throws at them and they keep on going together and I get actual *tears* in my eyes by watching this. Oh John, I love your maladjusted self from the bottom of my heart!
Four Ways to Defeat the Wraith Through Good Health (Parts One & Two) by zoetrope
SGA | gen, humour | Rodney McKay
Two little humour vids in the form of 40's public service announcements. Hilarious!
Last but definitely not least there's lim. She's perhaps my favourite vidder right now and her vids can be found on her site or on imeem (a youtube-like streaming vid site). Lim's vids are all amazing and she transforms the source material into something truly original. I recommend downloading all of them because you don't quite get the full effect on imeem. But I had to choose one so I'm going with:

Hey hey I saved the world today.
Because Atlantis is more than just McKay and Sheppard even if it sometimes seems so. ;) Has there ever been a more appropriate song for this crew? Beautiful.
