Multifandom Video Rec

Jul 02, 2008 20:27

Jonathan Lapper's Frames of Reference [watch] is a free-association video set to music, with clips from 158 movies.

"following the whipping scenes, I show a Cary Grant reaction shot as if he were witnessing Ingrid Bergman and Lana Turner being whipped like horses by Spencer Tracy. If you want a comedic reaction shot to a barely disguised S&M sexual fantasy sequence from Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde, Cary Grant's your go-to guy."

I enjoyed it. Is it a vid?

I ask because of delicious tagging, and because this is not the first time I've had this question, and apparently it's becoming a Thing. I've been (re-)reading counteragent's What is vidding? link set, and I think I'll not use a "vid" tag for works like this, because their creators don't identify them as such, and because they didn't come out of the fannish vidding tradition. They may walk like ducks and quack like ducks but... they hatched from goose eggs? Or something, I don't know, that's a lousy metaphor.

recs: vids & video, recs: canon analysis & meta, questions, on fanworks and fandom in general, terminology, on being a viewer of vids
