Doctor Who Vid Recs (+ Torchwood)
Update: The following intro was written long, long ago. Don't think I'm on crack, kay?
I collect vids very haphazardly and very, very slowly. Recently, I've found a few links I have to share.
I've never done a set of vid recs before, for many reasons. First of all, I live in the middle of nowhere and am stuck on dial-up (maybe not for very much longer?). Therefore downloading vids is extremely time-consuming for me, nearly impossible. The only medium which is really manageable for me is YouTube. I'm also aware of the issues of ownership and plagiarism in the vidding community. Therefore I give this warning: I certainly hope that all these vids were created by the individuals who posted them to YouTube, and that they were created by those posters from scratch. If that is not the case, and something here really belongs to you, please let me know and I will correct that information or remove the link.
Smiley Faces I went looking for vids to "Crazy," but found this one to another Gnarls Barkley song, and this vid is fantastic. Ten/Rose, shippy, and extremely upbeat. This is the vid to warm your shippy heart when you're feeling down."
What Would Brian Boitano Do Probably everyone's seen this one, but it's just so cracktastically hilarious that I have to include it.
We Both Go Down Together by jjsngadget Music by The Decemberists.
I love The Decemberists and it's a Doctor/Rose vid, so naturally I love it. A lyric-based vid from S1 and S2. It made me smile and then it made me a little sad. As it should.
Groove is in the Heart by giandujakiss
Apparently, I really like this song. I love giandujakiss's vids and I was loving this one, at first. At first, it's a really fun Doctor/Rose vid that goes through S1 and S2. And then, it switches to a Jack POV vid and goes through Torchwood, and then into S3. I actually like the switch to Jack POV, and the way it works with the music. But the switch to S3 hurts my shipper's heart, because from being a very shippy D/R vid it becomes a shippy Doctor/Martha vid and I find that jarring and wrong. Although, if you're a fan of the alien slutboi interpretation of the Doctor, this probably works fine. Anyway, it's a really fun vid except for about 30 second of it that bug the hell out of me.
Changes Music by Butterfly Boucher featuring David Bowie
Fun vid exploring the changes from Nine to Ten. Mostly a Ten vid, with Ten/Rose. Lovely and fun.
Closer by nastally Music by Nine Inch Nails
I love this vid very, very much. It's Doctor/Master and incrediably dirty. In fact it CONTAINS ACTUAL GAY PORN. WARNING. EXPLICIT GAY SEX. Don't blame me if you see something very naughty. But beyond that, the vid is extremely well done. It conveys all the slashy wonder of the Doctor/Master relationship from the last three episodes of S3. Plus, it uses the music perfectly. Actually, the style of the vid looks like a NIN video. And finally, the ending is priceless. That's the AU way S3 ends in my (slashy) mind.
Bonus Torchwood Vid:
Enjoy the Silence I really enjoyed this vid because it made Torchwood look really, really cool. Plus, the timing is excellent.
