Vid recs day 2

This last rec is probably definitely the best vid this year, so far. The layers of meaning, the fantastic song choice, the ability of the vidder to build a coherent narrative, even for people who don't watch Mad Men, it all adds up to a vid that needs to be watched over and over.

Festivids!!
Jan. 19th, 2013 10:20 amI've very happy to have a three day weekend. I'm gonna watch all the vids!!!
Done (I think)
Dec. 6th, 2012 07:02 pmWish I'd thought of this earlier
Nov. 18th, 2012 05:38 pmBut I'd still love that funny zombie vid.
Down to Festividdy business
Oct. 20th, 2012 07:40 amEven better, I had a strong idea for a vid for another source and after going through the Dear Festividder letters I found someone who wanted JUST THIS VID! I'm excited! Not I've just got to get started.

Loch Lomond - an Adrian Paul vid

It was going to start with clips from Monty Python, Eric Idle's character beating the drum and calling out "Bring out your dead". Three of these clips, each one followed by the sound of a beating heart and text saying that we all have them, those vids that we start and abandon before they're done. This would be followed by the sound of a heart monitor flatlining and fading into B. B. King's The Thrill is Gone and clips a descriptions of vids that seemed like good ideas but just didn't work.
Problem is, it's both depressing and boring disecting failures and back ideas. I didn't finish this one and have a nice, pleasant vid from HL; The Raven instead.

Aug. 5th, 2012 07:21 amBrilliantly cut and just phenomenal choice of clips.
Just a few more days left til VVC and watching great vids like this really puts me in the mood to spend days watching vids and talking vidding.
The song, Times Will Change by Danish band Marvins Revolt, was the only one I considered. I liked the changing pace of the music and the lyrics are filled with urge to keep moving, grow stronger and survive. What could be more Methos than that?

One down, one to go
Jul. 13th, 2012 08:58 pmThat leaves the second vid which, thankfully, isn't due until October 2. That's good. It's proving a bit harder to find source material that I'd hoped. I really, really want to use Real McKenzies for this, probably Thistle Boy or, maybe Scots Wha Hae. Scottish Gaelic punk is so perfect for what I want to do, but a lot of HL fans - I don't know if they're really into that kind of music. It's not your lilting harps folk song kind of thing.
I've got nothing pending and nothing urgent and I think I'll vid tonight and just kind of go with the flow during the day. Very unusual.
I love it when a plan comes together
Jun. 19th, 2012 09:11 pmHours and hours and hours of clipping and sorting and hunting for outside source material leading up to laying stuff down in the timeline and OMG it's so much better than I ever expected. My first
hl_chronicles is more fun than I've had vidding in ages.
