Understanding Meta Vids (I C WHUT U DID THAR) vidshow playlist VVC09

[kiki_miserychic]

nightchik and I complied the Understanding Meta Vids (I C WHUT U DID THAR) vidshow (she ran the panel at VVC) for 2009 vividcon.

Vids that exist on a meta level, working in more ways than one, often suggesting a basis beyond the individual fandoms of the source andmore about a larger concept and/or fandom itself. Vids that go beyond the narrative of their source,

Can't wait to watch ones I haven't seen! (Also, dying for vidpanel notes!) thanks forthinking of my vids. :)

[kiki_miserychic]

We tried to do a wide selection so there'd be vids unknown to this part of fandom. :)

I keep refreshing the vivicon flist for notes like a stalker.

You guys definitely accomplished that. (Yay!) I can't believe I missed the meta in Sex O Matic...guess as a SamGirl I'm just too close. HEE. Anyway, thanks for making me think. :D

...edited because I inadvertently sounded like an ass...

I'm not sure if deirdre_c intended the meta or if it was only my interpretation. That's a neat aspect of interpretating vids. I see Sex-o-matic as an update of Quantum Leap's Oh, Boy! from Sterling Eidolan and the Odd Woman Out. In both vids the woman can be seen as the female audience becoming an entity. Does my interpretation of the vid as meta make it meta or is it only meta if it's intentional from the vidder?

You didn't sound like an ass. ;)

Always use a spoon when eating up meta. It's only polite. ;)

For extra classy meta

And I'm sorry to ask, but do you know of anywhere else that we could see We Have a Right to Be Angry? It's the only one here I hadn't seen, and the shockwave embed she's used really isn't cooperating with this computer. I've updated the plugin, and.. still not working. : /

oh, I love how you've parenthetically categorized them by kind of meta! I know you said it was hard to define but this is very clear.

[kiki_miserychic]

We had them paired up (with a set of 3) by the meta aspect too. It was cool to see how different approaches and ideas to the same topic.

I definitely recommend hapex-legomena's Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers of Death (Collector's Edition)
Audio and Video Editing: [info]hapex_legomena
Video Source: Lord of the Rings
Audio Source: all songs by the Wu-Tang Clan
Warnings: spoilers for RaceFAIL '09
Rating: R for violence and language
Summary I: An audio-visual essay deconstructing orcing and the emulation of the behavior and appearance of other nithings in the pursuit of performance art.
Summary II: In an alternate universe where orc hordes start an internet flamewar with the good white peoples of middle earth in order drag the blogosphere down into a never-ending age of darkness and wank, the only way men can hope to save their fantasy world is to destroy the source of the POC hive vagina's Sauron's power.

Also, the third vid is Secret Asian Man. You have it listed as Secret Agent Man?

[kiki_miserychic]

I have that loading in another window. Looks very, very intriguing.

My brain must have been thinking about the original song when I typed that. Thanks for catching it.

Coming across this conversation rather late, here my meta vids tag.
