festivids I'm loving (so far)

[kassidy62]

I've explained my vidding tastes before but it bears mentioning again - I'm the person who can't get through too many slow songs, who needs lights and motion and loud noise, like an infant (except for horizon26's vids because I cannot resist them - her clips are gorgeous, both how they're rendered and her evocative choices. But that's another post). So I go for fast cuts, lots of action, some humor. And here's what I've loved so far (and I haven't gotten through a quarter of them yet). But first you need to go here to see them for yourself!

1.
My cheese, let me show you it - happy happy vid celebrating the squeezy cheesiness of the Bionic Woman. See her leap! Listen to the sound effects! Ear close-up, anyone? The music is perfect. Jamie is da bomb, that is all. I grew up with this, guys.

2.
Cemetery Man - I don't like Kesha. I don't know Cemetery Man. It doesn't matter. It moves. There is skull-splitting happiness. (And: I love how a good vid can sometime actually make me like a song better).

3.
Cursed - I don't know this fandom either, but I know Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and kitschy cheesy werewolves are things of the good. Especially weres that shoot you the bird.

4.
for the love of all things holy, there is THIS VID - Maru the Cat. The title card alone, or whatever it's called, is adorable, but the whole thing's just hugely adorable. Perfect perfect song. Scrabbling paws! Rolling! Stalking! It's all here.

5.
Not a fan of Quantum Leap. I'm so much a fan of this Quantum Leap vid, bigtime. The Major Tom song is perfect - soaring music, soaring shots, the possibilities of leaping, the sadness of how it ended. Yes.

6.
Resident evil vid - discordance, female badassery, nonstop action.What's not to love?

7.
Scott Pilgrim - checked it out because my daughter loves this movie, and I'm glad I did. Blam! Krow! and rock on.
Plus I'm not likely to ignore a vid called "Friendship and Courage and Whatever."

I'm definitely not done checking these out. I love festivids. It's the audio-visual sister to Yuletide.

OMG, I loved the Bionic Woman one. Now I need to go look for the series on DVD. It was so much better than the 6M$Man; and of course, Lindsey later was in that wonderfully cheesy running movie with Jim, too. Hubba-hubba.

The Quantum Leap one was awesome, too. Love that show to bits.
