Review: Absolutely gorgeous Spencer Reid vid. By far one of the most visually stunning vids I can remember, and it's done with the choice of original footage and cutting and movement rather than gaudy added effects.
The vid makes particularly fabulous use of movement and jump cuts. The choice of clips and footage and contrasts -- the whole trippy feel of the thing is just beautiful, added to by the song choice, and really feels like an appropriate match to its subject: all the cases and UnSubs, the relationships with the team, the dream sequences and those moments (when the show itself gets visually weird) exploring the minds of killers. It adds up to something that really captures the jigsaw of Reid's character.
This was made around 2009 so it's a fairly old vid in the scheme of things, and covers only the first four seasons or so of the show.
