Notes
Basically, this vid is my love letter to the women of vidding fandom. It’s simple enough, I think. But in the case that we have to go all meta about a vid which was debuted to a crowd of drunkards (you lucky, lucky sods), here’s a breakdown for you:
1) Women of vidding fandom rock.
2) Your awesome is so overpowering you might find you have the desire to make out with other women vidders.
3) You also make us guys in vidding fandom so jealous of all the crazy fun and talent you have that we contemplate putting on female personas just to try and join in. (Hence, Hedwig’s boyfriend in drag.)
4) dualbunny’s Starbuck at the end reminds us not to take ourselves too seriously.
It’s a squee!fest. Plain and simple.
As it is my love-letter, it is infinitely biased. I put in the vids and vidders which have captured me or meant a lot to me, but this certainly is not a comprehensive compilation, by any stretch. I realize I left out only a bazillion amazing vids and vidders who rightfully deserve to be acknowledged, honored and squeed at. There were just too many. And it’s not about being the “best vidder” per se (ie, only vidders of a “certain caliber” made the cut). It’s more an emotional thing for me. These vids - or the works of vidder therein - grab me right in the gut, or the heart, or the mind, or all of the above.
ashinae, is both alpha and omega to my vidding. I discovered her LOTR vids in 2002/2003. Aside from being touched by the beauty of some of her shipper vids, I found myself thinking: Man, I really wish I could do this. Though she didn’t know it, she planted the seed in me which would only come to fruition nearly six years later, when I began vidding. It began with her. It always ends in her. I am always grateful for her and her vids.
charmax and hollywoodgrrl are another pair of major vidding inspirations for me; their work was my first exposure to how powerful vids can be on an emotional and artistic level. They changed how I saw vids.
Profuse apologies to obsessive24 for abuse of “OMG!”. Yes, I know she’s done more than exactly two vids. It pains me to think I couldn’t just shove all her work in here somehow. I think I love every single one of her vids to pieces.
