Katniss started the fire.
Haven't updated in so long /o\
I'm currently housesitting a home with a bigass TV and pretty much unlimited download, which is ideal for absorbing maximum vividcon output. Mind you, looking at the spreadsheets, I've barely seen sweet FA. Oh well! The more geriatric I get, the more I just sit back and enjoy the pretty. It's not as if I'm getting any better at understanding lyrics, much less layers. (Case in mishearing point: numerous re-watchings of The Adventure (Harry Potter) had me wondering if the vid was trying to suggest that Harry is like Judas, and also, could I possibly be the last person to know that Tom DeLonge left Blink-182?)
I love shippy vids best and pretty vids next, so naturally What Makes You Beautiful (Merlin) made for jolly viewing (and almost made me forget that I'm actually almost kinda dreading the horrors S5 might bring, no matter how sumptuous Mr Morgan may be). Other than that I think the strongest ship feels I felt came from Music Again (Karate Kid). Mr Miyagi/Daniel <3
My happy shiny (new to me) favourites from Club Vivid were Wrong In All The Right Ways (Duran Duran) - adventures in 80s fandom, A Different Kind of Love Song (Multifandom), Titanium (Multifandom), Fire In Your New Shoes (The Prisoner) - *so* good, and I can say "I bin there!", Ride to California (Avengers) and Heads Will Roll (Game of Thrones) - mmm, gore.
Premieres had goodies too. The multifandom Hunger Games intro was great and I loved both Harry Potter vids: The Adventure (Neville <3) and Non Plaustra Vade (Everyone <333) - they both gave me that exultant WHEEE feeling. Someone could probably do a How You Remind Me of Someday mash-up of Raise Your Hand (Avengers) and Carry On (Captain America) - I swear the choruses are exactly the same. Masters of War (SGA) was excellent if discomforting viewing, although to me it was the most egregious example of not-ending-your-vid-right (ymmv). The Thorki multifandom metafest was also a gem. I'm still mulling on We Didn't Start the Fire (Multifandom) since it didn't speak to me the way it clearly did for a bunch of other people. I do tend to associate the song with the Trek vids they'd air at StarFest back in the 90s ("25 years of Star Trek...") Since I'm way too literal in my vid-viewing, I probably would've liked it better had the vid stuck to the song's chronological order and covered the 40 year period BJ sings about. Instead it felt all awry to me both time-wise and fandom-wise, and it was almost as if too much thought had gone into dreaming up lyric matches - some were dead obvious, some were a bit icky and some were too obscure for my feeble brain. It just wasn't gelling for me.
And there were Vids That Go Bump In The Night! Thud went my horror-loving heart! The Tragic Tale of Cesare (The Cabinet of Dr Caligari), 666 (The Omen) and Raspberry Swirl (Suspiria) all looked and sounded amazing.
And in non-Vividcon but vital vidding news,
soup made Girl on Fire (The Hunger Games) to express Katniss' glory, since the movie came too late for Glorious. This weekend when she comes over, I'll make her do a Hoarders vid to Carmina Burana.

Maybe I'll put on Unstoppable tonight in honour of Tony Scott.
