The Annual Giant Vividcon Rec Post of Doom
I'm making an effort to get my recs out there within the first week couple weeks month back from Vividcon, because if I don't, then inevitably I don't post them at all. And there was a lot worth reccing this year! So here we go, in alphabetical order. Except for the first one. Because holy kitten babies, Batman.

Fandom: Smallville
This vid is Cracky McCrackerson, come from Cracktown and I love it so much. I feel like all that Smallville I watched back in the early 00's has finally paid off. Even if you're unfamiliar with Smallville it has, uh, a strong narrative. If you've ever read a kink meme in any fandom, run to see it. Trust me on this one. Best watched with fellow fans, if at all possible.

Oh my, Mrs. Suit! What did you get up to in the early 2000's? I think I like it.

I'd watch The Adventures of Sarah Jane Smith show any day of the week.

Fandom: Sucker Punch
Dammit, vids. I don't even like Sucker Punch! Why you gotta be so awesome?
Brick House by

Fandom: Supernatural
A truer statement was never uttered. Also, yay for a vid that does not amplify the show’s already astoundingly large amount of manpain!
Come Undone by Ferd
Fandom: Smallville/Batman
Definitely one of the best crossover vids for Smallville and Batman that I've seen yet!
Dance Dreams by
bradcpu
Fandom: Tron: Legacy
Brad always makes the fandoms I'm not in look so much shinier and tempting than I would have otherwise thought them to be.
Debauchery in the UK by
mresundance
Fandom: Lord Byron
In which Lord Byron sleeps his way around Europe and is generally a rock star. Set to a Miley Cyrus song. Bless.
Don't Forget Me by
obsessive24
Fandom: Buffy
This one really takes me back to my Buffy fandom days. I love how skillfully this vid gives us Riley’s POV.

I shit you not. And if I had to listen to this song, this is exactly the way I would choose for it to be. Genius.
Get The Party Started by
rhoboat
Fandom: White Collar/Leverage
Rho had me look at this one a few months back and I was totally bowled over by the awesome and got immediately psyched for Club Vivid, so I'm super, super thrilled to finally be able to rec it! The Shirley Bassey track is classy, fun, and totally perfect for the source.
High Voltage by
kuwdora
Fandom: Stargate: SG-1/Atlantis/Universe
This is an incredibly well put together vid that seamlessly blends footage from three different series to make them look like they could all be one. Also, the Ancients are such dicks.
Hold On by
flummery
Fandom: Sarah Jane Adventures
A beautiful and uplifting tribute to Sarah Jane and Lis Sladen.
Hook Shot by
kuwdora
Fandom: Various
All my favorite women kicking ass 24/7.
rhoboat totally hyped this one up to me before the vidshow and despite that, it totally exceeded my expectations!
Lost Girl: Character Primer by
hellpenguin
Fandom: Lost Girl
A very effective, comedic recruiter vid for Lost Girl. Which is exactly as awesome as reported, I'm happy to say.
Murder on the Dance Floor by
astolat
Fandom: Sherlock
Ever since tinyloudmoron created the OOH DR JOHN 8 track fanmix, I've had an affinity for dance music in relation to Sherlock. And the vid is, of course, brilliantly executed. Oh, John. Why you gotta kill the groove?
Manipulation by
winterevanesce
Fandom: K-Pop
If I accosted you on the Club Vivid dance floor shouting incomprehensible things about this vid's existence, I REGRET NOTHING.

Mystery Dance by
marycrawford
Fandom: Star Trek: TOS
The process of trial and error leading up to Kirk/Spock. I have such a soft spot for original Trek vids.
Only Girl (In The World) by
talitha78
Fandom: Despicable Me
B'awwwwwww. (Little) girl power.
Recalled To Life by
bironic
Fandom: The Secret Garden
I totally cried watching this. This book/movie was formative for me when I was young and the vidder captured it so well that it all came rushing back.

REO Speedwagon, baby.

Thistle and Weeds by
sisabet
Fandom: Game of Thrones
A beautiful and sometimes painful look at Dany's journey through the series. Major spoilers if you haven’t finished out the book or the season yet.
We Rule The World by cherryice
Fandom: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
I think the vidder's description perfectly sums this one up, but add a few exclamation marks to it: "Ponies! <3"
Walk This Way by
cee_m
Fandom: Young Frankenstein
It’s about time someone vidded Young Frankenstein! Fantastic song choice, hilarious execution..
Whenever, Wherever by
obsessive24
Fandom: Twilight
FUCK YEAH, IT'S AN EDWARD/JACOB VID! I regret nothing.
Wil Wheaton's Been Busy by
echan

Exactly what it says on the tin! In the best of ways, of course.
You Told The Drunks I Knew Karate by
settiai
Fandom: Doctor Who
This is the perfect Rory vid. The song is awkward and adorable and I’m never going to be able to disassociate it from his and Amy’s relationship.
And of course there were a million other vids that were all amazing that I'm forgetting about or that I didn’t get a chance to see, but these were the ones that stood out to me. If you’re looking for a comprehensive listing, shuffle on over to vividcon's Master Post for 2011.
Vividcon! \o/
