Help, oh wise and wonderful f'list!! :)

For Vidukon, I will be running a panel on character study vids. It's a 1.5 hour panel and I'd like to show at least parts of a couple of vids as examples or discussion points. For this reason, and also simply for research and preparation purposes I would love to get recs of any character study vids (in any

I'm not sure if these meet the definition, but I thought I'd mention them in an effort to be helpful :)

bradcpu's Living Dead Girl
jagwriter78's Where Do I belong?
bop-radar's Paranoid Android, Sugarcane, Middleman
talitha78's That's Not My Name
m_a_r_i_k_s The Ledge, Honeythief (the twist here being that it's a character study of Lee, but from Kara's POV),
liv_niggle In Bruges
Thoughtless, perhaps?

In terms of character studies that are unusual in some way, I guess I would suggest Signal to Noise (second vid on that page) by keewick. It's interesting because the vid bills itself as a Lee Adama character study but most people I've heard seem to view it more as a general overview of the universe. I love it actually because I think it is a character study, quite firmly. But rather than doing what most character study vids do, and trying to relate everything in the world of the show to the character, this vid inverts that - instead it simply shows us the BSG universe, in all its wide, messy complexity - all the bits that do and don't relate to Lee. Then it asks us - what is it like to live in this universe? It puts Lee down in the middle of it and asks what it's like for him, in a world where everyone else is going insane or seeing cylon visions or committing political suicide or rioting. I think it manages to make a really interesting point about Lee by situating him in the wider world? I hope that makes sense.

Also Jolene by nicole_anell

Oh cool! I've not seen 'Etheric Messages' so I'll check that one out and it's been ages since I've seen 'Ecstatic Drum Trip' so I need to revisit that one. (Spoiler avoidance on Farscape is useless for me given the number of Farscape vids I've watched over the years--don't worry!) Thanks so much for reccage--it's great hearing other people describe even the vids I know--helps firm up for me what people feel they do and why.
