vvc11 vid recs, part 1
A handful of my personal favourites from this year's vividcon. I really liked and enjoyed a lot more vids than these, but these are the ones that really jumped out in my mind as I was compiling this list, so I went with it.
Sit Down By the Fire by sweetestdrain, Kings, Jack character, possible Jack/David?
Excepting #catbaby, which I think we can all agree is in a plane of existence all by its own, this was my favourite premiere of the con. I loved how expansive it was, how richly textured and multi-faceted in the way it approached Jack's character, his parents and lineage, and his complex relationship to David.
Thistle and Weeds by sisabet, Game of Thrones, Denaerys character. Condenses Denaerys' season character arc into one powerful gut-punch. I was incredibly taken by the way that the music use highlighted the emotional flow and content rather than sticking slavishly to conventional musicality. Such a powerful journey.
Friday by millylicious, Brazil, just a buttfuckload of crackiness. And I haven't even seen Brazil!
Sabotage by millylicious, Misfits. Milly said my drunken reaction to this vid at CVV was \o/ "SIIIIIIMMOOOOOOOON!" \o/ It still is.
Black Dove by kiki_miserychic, Doctor Who, River character. Amazing cutting and parallels.
Welcome Home by barkely, Friday Night Lights, ensemble. So full of love and tenderness and giving each major character their due.

And, of course, the much-lauded SMALLVILLE #CATBABY EPIC OF EPICNESS,
I Swear by dualbunny, greensilver, pipsqueaky and sweetestdrain. 10 years of Smallville. All worth it in the end.

And some non-premiering older vids that reminded me of their awesomeness in themed vidshows:
Rodeohead by absolutedestiny, Firefly/Serenity, ensemble. A pure virtuoso performance of unmitigated genius.
Boom Boom Pow by hollywoodgrrl, Fringe, ensemble. So much badass attitude it hurts, plus dancing John Noble!
Strip My Mind by saltwatergirl, The Dreamers. Beautiful emotional flow and power.
Heads Will Roll by kiki_miserychic, Misfits, Alisha. Rocked my world when it came on at CVV.

And, as a bonus, the transcendent Worst Vid Ever brought to us by akemi42, Harry Potter, with the Terminator as Snape, Catherine Tate as Lily and Johnny Depp as Nagini and bald!Britney as Voldemort and god knows what else. Go here and jump to #42 "Untitled".
