Imaginary vids

[thuviaptarth]

1. yhlee is right: Jodi Shaw's "The Forger" would make a good Veronica Mars vid. At least, I assume she was thinking of Veronica Mars and not Angel, because I don't think it would make a good Angel vid. Although I'm ready to be proved wrong.
   
   
2. For a long time, my imaginary vid for Better Than Ezra's "One More Murder" was the film for Neil Gaiman's American Gods. There is no film for American Gods. But if there were, you could do a really good vid to it with Better Than Ezra's "One More Murder". It would work great for the [spoiler] plotline in that town whose name I can't remember, which probably means I should reread the book.
   
   But now I've realized you could also do a really good "One More Murder" vid with Ultraviolet, which actually exists, and I am torn. I don't know where to put the song in my list of imaginary vids.
   
   Since they are imaginary, I guess I could use it for both of them, but that feels like cheating.
   

Do you know what time of year it is? It's nearly Vividcon time, that's what time of year it is! This means I will learn entirely new music and have entirely new playlists, including but not limited to Vividcon 2005. I started listening to my Vividcon 2004 playlist out of sheer nostalgia, and it made me very happy.

I suppose an Angel vid might be possible if one were doing the creepy ironic thing with Angel-the-stalker-artist, and I don't know that the lyrics support it. (I like what I've understood of the lyrics. I don't hear much--I'll look the lyrics up later, I swear.) But seriously, Veronica Mars...

Alas, I have Janis Ian Veronica Mars vid to do. For my own peace (?!), if no one else's. :-)

--actually, embarrassingly enough, it wasn't even the lyrics that made me think VID! It was the dancing 6/8 (12/8? I think 6/8, but I'd have to look more at the structure to guess) guitar (?) and especially that four-note descending chromatic figure in the descant--

I shut up now because this is outside my purview. The song by itself makes me happy; it shall suffice. (Not that I'm not tempted, but really, this song awaits an experienced vidder...)

You are under no obligation to vid this. I was merely acknowledging the brilliance of your thought.

Oh, heck, I'd adore the experience of vidding this. :-) I just feel it would make sense for a better vidder to take a stab at it, if any find themselves interested, because I am all intimidated about vidding and stuff.

'Course, if no one else is stampeding the gates, I may take a stab. Assuming no one would hurt me for doing so.
