Oh, god, I think I have been watching vids for three and a half hours straight, my eyes are going to fall out. And I haven't commented, not even more than a placeholder for MY VID MINE MINE FOR ME!!, because I can't put reactions together.

But so far, these are my (other) favorites:

Past in Present (Chak De! India)
Mother Mary (China Beach)
Never Be (Criminal Minds)
Me & My 424 (Dark Angel)
Body and Soul (Legend of the Seeker)
You Belong with Me (Lois & Clark)
Feel It (So You Think You Can Dance)
Meddle (The Vampire Diaries)

And I have only seen, hmm, the source for two of these vids. So, you know, canon knowledge not required.

I have been playing mad guessing games about who did which vid in my head, but I am not sharing because I'm not sure everyone would like to play. I will be keeping private score, though! By which I mean that I will remember all the ones I got right and forget all the ones I got wrong and convince myself that I am skilled at identifying vidders purely by style.

ETA: Ahaha. Okay. So as per Yuletide tradition, if you guess which vid I made, I will make you at least a 30-second vidlet for a fandom TBD. Mods and betas are disqualified. No responses before the reveal.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I'm pleased the vid had such an impact and I'm happy to take your compliment for the few brief seconds in it that felt like they required me to be there. Possibly the rest were also my doing, so I'll take the compliment for those as well, just in case.

I think you should be very proud, and I think you're selling yourself hella short by pretending the vid isn't a piece of horrific perfection and I honestly do think your vid is, in many ways, better than the movie it's inspired by and riffing on, for getting across in minutes what takes the movie over an hour to achieve, and filling it with all the nuances of the movie that so many people keep trying to miss.

It's a beautiful vid, okay, and I love it.

Of the templates of responses to comments like yours, this (http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php?id=81) is the one I'd like to borrow, replacing 'comic' with 'vid' and 'baby' with 'ipod', perhaps. To paraphrase Chekov: "If with the first vid you have someone angry at you for being too modest, then with the following one you should have them fired."

(And thank you again, for the compliments and for the laugh.)
