December Talking Meme: Top Ten Favourite Vids

[selenak]

With the disclaimer that this is prone to change depending on mood except for the first two, and is in no particular order:

1) Scooby Road by luminosity. Still the most awesome vid of them all, not only if you're a fan of BtVS and of the Beatles, and I am both. My detailed ravings on it are here.

2.) Ophelia, a Babylon 5 vid. I'll forever be glad to have lured andraste into B5, and not just because she makes fabulous vids, but this vid - about the dead women and the way they return on the show - is definitely a part of why.

3.) Blank Space: a more recent favourite, to my mind, the best Doctor/Master vid to date, encompassing both Old and New Who.

4.) Savages: a magnificent vid that beautifully captures all I loved about The Borgias. (Not so coincidentally based on the first two seasons.)

5.) Virgin: it's Vorenus/Antony, yes, and I do have a soft spot for that pairing, but better than that, it's about Rome and Rome, and captures the essence of both.

6.) On your wings: Doctor Who again, this time a vid portraying one of my all time favourite companions, Ace. And beautifully so.

7.) The Unforgiven Ones: Battlestar Galactica, Ellen and Cavil, the Five and the Seven; a short vid that packs an incredible punch.

8.) We didn't start the fire: still BSG, this time on the hilarious side. I love this to bits, and the identifications (Lee as the Cather in the Rye! Laura Roslin as Richard Nixon! Athena as Lawrence of Arabia!) reliably crack me up every time.

9.) Half Acre: incredibly beautiful Six Feet Under vid that uses Claire's art to frame the entire show.

10.) Runner: aka the Connor from Angel character study which made me go "here I wrote lengthy posts about him and the vid makes all my points much better, and then some"!

Thanks for the awesome Connor vid rec, I loved it. Had not seen that one, though I adore that song.

You're welcome!

I love that you love "Savages" as much as I loved making it, and that you get out of it exactly what I hoped people would.

[likeadeuce]

Ohhh, good stuff. I know almost all of these (because I always love your vid recs so I followed many of these the first time around )but they'll be great to revisit.

And seriously SOMEHOW I didn't remember that Rome vid but I definitely commented on it at the time, and it's going in my permanent links now...

[selenak]

It's definitely worth perma-linking. :)

You're a terrific vidmaker, and I'm so glad you made this one!

We didn't start the fire

Ahahahahaha I had totally forgotten about this blast from the past. What a nice way to be reminded of it. :D Laura Roslin is Richard Nixon forever and ever amen! Gosh all those references were fun to pair up.

Laura Roslin as Richard Nixon was a thing of beauty and endless mirth, and so is your vid. :) Thanks for creating it!
