A Love That Won't Sit Still (Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers films) by icepixie  -- This vid combines source from multiple Astaire/Rogers films. Lots of dancing, as you'd expect! But I wouldn't call this a "dance vid" in the traditional sense because the dancing is really used as narrative here: the movement and body language tell a story of characters meeting ( Read more... )

This Is Matrix Life (Matrix trilogy) by mranderson71 -- This isn't a new vid and I know many on my flist have probably seen (and recommended!) it ages ago. I'm not much of a Matrix fan (still haven't seen the last movie) and saw the vid for the first time at Vividcon in August and just got around now to leaving feedback...thus the very tardy rec. But it's so ( Read more... )

OMG! (Doctor Who/Torchwood) by obsessive24 -- Heaps of shiny, clever fun! And she took some unwanted DJ voiceovers in the song and managed to use them so ingeniously that they make the vid even betterI want to finish my Casino Royale vid and just need a few bursts of inspiration to get there. But my brain is all fuzzed over with gray static, thanks to ( Read more... )

Y'all. It's like, OVER. I am rapidly sinking into a post-VVC depression even though I'm still in the hotel. This also might have something to do with an impending blood sugar crisis or the need for sleep, but still -- I'm fragile; hold me ( Read more... )

Just (BtVS/Angel) by aycheb -- I don't watch many Buffy/Angel vids nowadays, but I've been on a bit of a watching spree since I'm in the boring process of rippingclippingrippingclippingyawn for several of my own projects...I'm so glad to have downloaded this one! The narrative structure is quite unique and that uniqueness makes the footage feel very ( Read more... )

Sugarcane (Dexter) by bop_radar  -- By default, a Deb character study just makes me happy. Even more so when the editing is solid and insightful, as is the case with this vid. Nothing flashy, but thoughtfully constructed and attentive to the music, and entirely successful...by gosh, if you don't find yourself tearing up somewhere between 1:55 and 2:20, then ( Read more... )

That Thing You Do (Ashes to Ashes) by croc_rocketfan -- There are few enough vids out there that are really well cut, much less to an uptempo, fast-paced song. This vid is a delight because the vidder understands how to communicate with quick cuts -- with too little story, fast cutting makes for "clip salad"; too much and you lose the viewer because they have to ( Read more... )

Look! I'm using the rec tag again, wonders will never cease.

Le Manège (Pushing Daisies) by buffyann -- I haven't yet met a Pushing Daisies vid that I didn't like, but this one swept me away. The vidder works beautifully with the song's swirling waltz tempo and has created a vid that is romantic and warm...like a helium balloon, it seeks to lift you up ( Read more... )

I've been watching vids like mad in the last week...must be some "fresh new year" vibe. I'm caught up on feedback, so hey! A rec! Which I never do, but maybe it's another "fresh new year" thing. Or not, and this single entry under the vid rec tag will mock me later.

Winter in My Heart (Doctor Who) by raspberry_splat, humansrsuperior and leviathan101 -- It's Ten/Rose, make no mistake. I ( Read more... )
