Writercon

Since I'm still working hellish hours, when I come home from work I tend to be a bum.  Because of that I've taken to the brain candy of fan vids.  I decided to burn an eclectic mix of vids from various fandoms to hand in at writercon since they were looking for vids.  I have plenty from AtS, BtVS, Dr. Who, and even LOST and BSG.  However, since I don't watch and know virtually nothing about Veronica Mars, SG,  and Firefly, I was wondering if someone could direct me to a decent source of fan vids or a particularly good vid for any of those (not YouTube as they need to be downloadable to burn).  A great Spangel vid would also be a great find.


One thing I've noticed while doing so is that Dr. Who vids tend to be happy.  Even when they're tragic, there's something happy about them.  Farscape apparently makes the most breathtaking vids because of the grandiose/operatic nature of the show. There are tons of simply gorgeous Farscape vids.  By contrast, BtVS looks far more set bound.  And... I even burned one Bangel vid which made me look at the Spuffy vids differently.  I had thought that SMG had looked really... well...remote in many Spuffy vids and had concluded that it was her latter season ennui.  Then, I saw the Bangel vid and it's  the same way.  I suppose it's just SMG.  Or maybe it's just the contrast in expressiveness between SMG, Claudia Black, and Billie Piper that simply makes SMG look more remote in comparison. 

Anyway, any suggestions for a Veronica Mars, SG1 or SG-Atlantis, Spangel, or a Firefly vid?

Two great Spangel vids:

The Bucket by sisbet (Spike/Angel)

I Got You Babe by spikeylover (Spike/Angel).

And a terrific SG-1 vid:

Good luck!

Nah -- that remoteness is the difference between actresses who can actually act, and one who slid by using soap opera tricks ["fart-smelling acting," tm Joey Tribbiani]. I never thought I'd say this about Piper, who used to be her country's Britney Spears, but the girl can act.

I think buffyx has VM vids, or knows where they hide. Also, our very own ww1614 probably knows a thing or twelve about VM stuff.

Hee! That is pretty good.

Crap, I wish I'd been checking my flist the last few days because I could totally help but now I bet you're gone already.

obsessive24 has a LOT of good FF vids.

heresluck made my favorite Serenity vid.

All of bradcpu's Firefly vids are also good.

And sisabet's "Closer" Spangel vid is pretty much the ultimate in S/A vids.

My favorite VM vids are:

Part of the Queue by Rowena.

Deja Vu by f1renze.

You know what? I have all of these vids saved on my laptop which I've got with me. If you want them, feel free to find me at Writercon. Email me at femmenerd1@yahoo.com and I'll give you my cell. I have lots of vids in something like 8 fandoms.

I'll have to give those a looksee if I have time tonight.

Thanks so much!

Thanks for the links. Love "I Got You Babe" and found a perfectly hilarious slash SG vid.

Side by side in the vids, the differences in expression are hard to ignore. Emotion rarely seems to reach SMG's eyes.
