Club Vivid and Challenge vids

I love these vids as much as I love all the vids I recced earlier, but I am tired and out of energy so I probably will not sound like I do. Also, the comments will be spectacularly inane. The vids are much better, I swear.

Club Vivid
[livejournal.com profile] dualbunny, If I Had You (Legend of the Seeker)
Poor Rahl. He is wearing eyeliner and his shiniest robes and Richard just doesn't understand.

This is the dancing-est vid I saw this year. Also there are Muppets. I am adding this to my list of Happy Fun Vids.

This is fun and a little moving and the dissolves are one of the sexiest things I've seen a while.

I hope people will continue vidding Legend of the Seeker. I like it so much better through vids.

[livejournal.com profile] hollywoodgrrl, Boom Boom Pow (Fringe)
My favorite vid of the con. I could talk about the clever lyric/non-lyric matches or the beautiful flow of the editing, but mostly it is Olivia and Peter and Walter in a box. And also Olivia does sit ups and is an action hero.


Challenge vids

Creepy.

I thought I was missing the point by watching it all with a sense of recognition instead of going into a frenzy of introspection, but maybe not? Also I tend to think that violence against male characters occurs in such a different cultural and narrative context than violence against female characters that I just am unable to worry about it as presented in this and most h/c (or h/0c) fanworks.

I wasn't laughing at most of it, but the brevity of the comfort clip cracked me up. Oh, Fandom.

I have been watching Boom Boom Pow at least once a day since I first saw it. Will.i.am! The music matches! Olivia's swagger! It is all joy.

I have never seen Fringe, and doubt maybe I will (still feel a little burned from Alias and dropped Lost after Mr Eko bought it), but I've watched that vid repeatedly. It's *fantastic.* (I didn't like the other Fringe video quite as much, but it was pretty neat.) I loved the Older Guy (Walter?) dancing.

I couldn't watch Prowl all the way through - I just found the imagery too upsetting, and the same thing happened with the Criminal Minds vid (oddly enough this didn't bother me with Women's Work, which I loved).
