I won Festivids, you guys. Y'all can all go home now.

LOOK AT MY PREZZIES:

Tonight, Tonight (Hook) -- MY CHILDHOOD WAS MAGICAL. I believe in you, Peter! I believe! This is gorgeous and thematic and, oh man, the homerun and the handholds and the everything. Go watch and remember.

Beautiful in Los Angeles (The LA Complex) -- Okay, when I said in ( Read more... )

I may come back and post more recs later; I am hesitant to promise that. But I can strongly recommend these for sure!

( my personal favorites )

A friend linked me to this tonight, and...um. I suddenly feel very, very un-talented. When I'm a grown-up, can I vid like this?

bananainpyjamas and bradcpu, watch this.

(Yes, it's long but don't let that stop you. I haven't even watched half of it yet and I came running, so.)

Arrested Development fans! Walk, don't run, to Our House of Bluth by talumin. I feel like I have been waiting for this vid MY WHOLE LIFE. It does an amazing job of showing all the hilarity and love in the show, weaving in all the characters and their many, many shortcomings. I was grinning like an idiot watching it, and my heart was bursting for AD when ( Read more... )

I haven't even started going through the DVDs, so I know there is a lot I have missed (particularly in Club Vivid), but for now, here is a quick and dirty recs list just to get started:

- I Swear by greensilver, dualbunny, and sweetestrain (Smallville) - aka The Vid that Broke the Con. This is the best crack I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing, and I got to do it in a ( Read more... )

It's so rare that I ever download something not from VVC or by one of my friends, but I am so glad I branched out to snag like o, like h by m_a_r_i_k_s. I grabbed it because I love the song and it's Starbuck, and I thought hey, what the hell. I just watched it, and holy shit. I have never seen a Starbuck vid like this. Maybe because she used so much external ( Read more... )

OMG! You guys! Boys I like made vids I like using movies I like about things I like! [!!!]

* The River Flows in You by jspencer1986 (Fingersmith) - My dear James has made his second vid, and it's wonderful! For real, it makes me do flappy hands of joy and grin ear to ear. Sometimes pretty women fall in love, y'all. After seeing an early draft, I had to go get ( Read more... )

I am super late to this party, but I figure it's better late than never. As I've said before, the vids were outstanding across the board this year, so while I could rec almost every vid from the con, instead I'm going to focus on the ones that I know I'll be going back to rewatch multiple times in the future. I enjoyed many vids not in this list, ( Read more... )

1) fan_eunice has made an incredible vid that everyone needs to see. Warning: it will make you cry. I don't think it's actually possible to watch this without crying. (If it is, don't tell me.) If you have ever loved (or been loved by) an animal in your life, this vid will stay with you ( Read more... )

This isn't one of my full-blown con reports, as I am without both time and energy this year, but I should make note of some of the more very awesome things about VividCon 09 while I still remember them.
