With this year's festivids, Cass and I are working on Vid Show I now. Good grief! I love it. I'm also dealing with frustrating technical difficulties. First, I'm not technically inclined, so I'm starting at a disadvantage, frankly. With the external speaker system I have that works so well for the vid shows, it's still easiest just to use our HDMI cable to connect the TV to the laptop, play the vids off vlc and deal with all the different vid formats that way. But my hope is to find something that will play the vids off our Playstation 3 through our  external hard drive - I'm exploring different options now. So far I haven't gotten the PS3 Media Server to work the way I'd hoped.

Here's my normal recap so you'll see what we look for when we put together these shows - first, we tend to like some raucous music, some rock, so you'll see that here. Our somewhat infant brains must be stimulated by loud sound and lots of movement. Overtly romantic songs aren't going to rule the day. But then we turn around and listen to some soft, sad stuff, or things even I find hard to understand us liking. We love Supernatural and have tons of vids in that fandom, almost half of what we watch through the first 7 vid shows. Sam and Dean's our OTP, so you'll see Wincest in some of the vids, and none that are mostly Castiel (we like him, but we're not fannish about him). Then we have some tiny fandoms where there isn't a lot available (that we know of, at least)- Blood Ties, The Borgias, True Blood, The Eagle, V, and many others.  Sometimes we save vids wherein we're not even familiar or don't particularly care for the source material, if we like the vid and music. We have quite a few of my vids in here as well, mostly because Cass wants to see them (I like a couple of the vids I've made, but the quality of the videos themselves are pretty bad - not something I plan on fixing) and because they're mainly Starsky & Hutch, a show we'll always love:)

We are huge fans of all the wonderful vidders in our shows, and thank all of you for passing on the fandom love:)

Above and Below - SUPERNATURAL by counteragent - "I'll fade away, I'll turn my back and disappear."
Afraid of Americans - WATCHMEN by bionic. "God is an American"
Bones of a Rabbit - SUPERNATURAL by dragonsofbadfaith - What if Ruby had offered Sam a way to save Dean from his deal? What if Sam said yes? Jarring, harsh, horror. Love it:)
Busted - HARDCORE LOGO by Killa & Bone - I think it's a love-vid to Joe Dick, but Billy's right there with him. I don't know of a download link, sadly.
Dead - SUPERNATURAL by danegen - a favorite of mine - music by the Pixies, fast-moving, great beat
Detachable Penis - THE PROS by the Media Cannibals (Sandy, Alex, Gwyn, Tina and Rache) - oldie but goodie with lots of penis-stand-ins;)
The Devil's Rejects - SUPERNATURAL by JessicaRae24 - black and white horror, old movie stylized look. Story that begins with YED.
Epic Love Story, aka With You - SUPERNATURAL by melissa, aka proofpudding. Another romantic piece. Okay, sometimes I DO WATCH THEM. It's so pretty!
Gay Bar (password protected) - MULTI by P.R. Zed - Velvet Goldmine, yesss... amongst many others.
God's Gonna Cut You Down - SUPERNATURAL by stodgey. Evil Sam.
Goody Two Shoes - DUE SOUTH by Laura Shapiro and Pipsqueak. Fraser and the Rays. Makes me happy.
Here it Goes - SUPERNATURAL by ? - One of those vids where I have no idea how to find it again. I searched but found it only at youtube, and the uploader says it isn't hers. Anyone know? link to check it out
Holding Out for a Hero - HERCULES: THE LEGENDARY JOURNEYS by Mary Crawford. Crack fun, the Widow Twanky (played by Edith Sidebottom, was it? heh) and always, some fantastic Herc footage.

Mr. Brightside - BLOOD TIES by piratewench92 - Henry/Vicky/Mike
My Own Destroyer - SUPERNATURAL by mithborien, a vid for a story of the same name by jacyevans
On the Prowl - MULTI by sisabet and sweetestdrain. I LOVE THIS VID. It's a vidder's self-portrait, the notes say. Says much about me, maybe, that I don't find it disturbing at all in my fannish world, which I regard as a safe place for just such works as this. 
Sell My Soul - SUPERNATURAL by destina and barkley - Sam tries. He holds on. One of the vids that propelled me into this fandom and still one of my very favorites.
Summer Nights - DANTE'S COVE by sdwolfpup - ohh Toby and his pushups, ha!

kassidy62: nightwing (brothers by crystal chain)


It's a tough call. There are several vidders in this fandom I'm pretty rabid about, but for me the vidder who consistently knocks it out of the ballpark is [info]proofpudding.

If you know me, you know I tend towards hard rock music, which makes her even more of an interesting choice for me to list as a favorite vidder -but even if I don't at first love her musical choices, they almost always grow on me to the point I'm totally converted when I see what the vid is communicating. She just sells it to me, each and every time.

To start off, the colors are gorgeous (I've actually made several backgrounds for my desktop from her vids, and oh I WISH I knew how she does it) - so clear and contrasty, often very warm-colored. I love that the sense of motion flows like something instinctive. The cuts always make sense to me. Quite a bit of her work focuses on character, exposing facets therein which I love. IF WE KEEP LIVING THIS FAST has a really amazing sensuality about it thanks to the clips chosen, how she uses them (close-ups, the speed played) and especially the soundbits included from the episodes themselves. 

I really have too many favorites to name, but I'll try and pick a few:
helluva beat and the first one I hit on of hers - We Will Rock You
Born Under a Bad Sign (yeah. Sam.)
heartbreaker - Stay Awake
SamnDean - With You
this really doesn't cover all my favorites. It'll have to do, because honestly most of her vids become favorites.
