VID RECS:
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chasarumba's Gemini (Jekyll) - The opening is very stylized and executed. The transformations, pacing, use of lush coloring, and power of the music is amazing. So many strings and threads of the series come into a cohesive movement with the music. The dynamics of the music are expressed so wonderfully. It's the 11th second and I'm sold completely, then I'm pulled in deeper. The never ending motion of "Hyde" with all the whirling and twisting of him and the camera is contrasted beautifully with the creepy stillness of him in the foyer with the boys. The vidder isn't afraid of holding on that clip and letting the composition and contextual meaning of the shot sink it. Expert use of the visual language of that episode.
lim's Sandman (Stargate: Atlantis) - Rather terrifyingly cute verging on disturbing reworking of McKay and Sheppard into a comicbook style.
sockkpuppett's The Fifth Circle (Supernatural) - When I sat down to type feedback for this vid, I found myself grasping for the right phrases and platitudes. First, I view the vid as an unrealized reality. It's a look at what could and might be. It's a hypothesis, from my view, but maybe not the vidder and maybe not another viewer. The use of external footage is melded with an expert touch. The motion and connections between the disparate sources pull together to create a believable world. The mood and atmosphere is set up and the tone is conveyed within seconds of the vid. There's an ethereal quality that makes my heart ache for Sam and Dean. The contrast of dark and bright with the use of glow and layers is beautiful. I never would have thought that What Dreams May Come could be used for Supernatural, but the vidder makes me believe it wholeheartedly. As with so many of sockkpuppett's vids, I find myself ill-equipped to comment because I lack the ability to express why I appreciate the vid.
