vid title: Double Helix music: Phyllis Chen source: Fringe duration: 2:06 Premiered in the 10th Bay Area Slash Convention (BASCon 2010).

notes: The music, Double Helix for toy piano and bowls, was composed and performed by Phyllis Chen at the Chicago World Music Festival in September 2009. She is brillant. Flat out brillant. For more visit her website.

Fringe is one of my favorite television shows and Walter is one of my favorite characters. This vid is what going mad feels like. Being in Walter's mind can be a great and terrible thing. The editing drove me toward insanity with frame by frame editing that could make someone puke, cry, and eat some red vines. beccatoria has a beautiful exploration vid of Walter, his character, and interactions with others with heart and soul. I strongly suggest Split Up Six Ways instead of this vid.

summary: Walter Bishop: Brillant. Passonate. Arrogant. Forgetful. Productive. Mischievous. Unfiltered. Regretful. Medicated. Fragile. Caring. Angry. Convalescent. Tortured. Heartbroken. Desperate. Reckless. Believer. Shattered. Unhinged. Devious. Loved. Scientist. Father. Friend.

Somewhat random, but this is exactly what I did in the car Friday with R on the way out to the bar:


Michelle Trachtenberg rapping to Nicki Minaj (and Robin Thicke)'s "Shakin' It 4 Daddy."

I've had the song on repeat for a while and even made Brad listen to it.

I feel like a wanker, but would someone be willing to beta a Battlestar Galactica vid? Taken care of. Enjoy Midnight Beast Feat. ST£FAN's 'Tik Tok' Ke$ha Parody:


Am now going back to watching The Thick of It. Changed my mind and am watching the The Man in the Fallout Shelter episode of Bones on Hulu.

I made a Whiskey vidlet, The Night, with the prompts: Dollhouse, epitaph one, The Night by Morphine for the Itty-Bitty Viddy Ficcy Thon.

VID RECS:
danegen's Slobo Babe (Lesbian Vampire Killers) - Has me LOLZ-ing forever. The movie is complete crack and it's well used in the vid with good timing.

giandujakiss's A Charming Man (Supernatural) - Excellent song choice, interesting lyrical interpretation coupled with brillant musicality in the visuals.

newkidfan's Human & Monster (Supernatural) - A beautifully subdued pair of companion vidlets that feel bittersweet and sad.

FIC REC:
serrico's Primogeniture is a Supernatural fic of Claire, Castiel's vessel's daughter, set post-Rapture that hurts in a good way.

Lastly, I've become a resident of Zombieland by zombifying myself.

I read on TMZ that Jeffrey Donovan (Michael Weston on Burn Notice) was arrested on suspicion of DUI on Sunday and my first thought was, "he didn't twitter that."

My neighbor's dog got out through a giant hole in their fence and the mail lady brought him to me, so I have a furry little ball of "OMGZIWANTATTENTION" licking at my fingers while I try to type. He's cute, but I don't like small dogs.

I've been cooking and baking a lot lately. I mean more than never when I say a lot. I made bacon and cheese stuffed beer burgers this weekend, which turned out well. I made ice cream cone cupcakes to take to a party too and they turned out freaking awesome.

I've also been making my own cold-brewed coffee, which is so good that I think I might like it more than Starbucks. I know, I know, blasphemy, but it's true.

I've been using twitter instead of LJ for little things I find interesting. I used to make posts about little things, but now they're all on my twitter and never make it to LJ. This is probably a good thing because it spares everyone my squeeing over Eliza Dushku, Zachary Quinto, and Olivia Wilde; linking to pretty photographs; laughing about how I set off the smoke alarm baking; and mourning having deleted the Torchwood Children of Earth miniseries only to get a vid idea 3 days later. Link to my twitter.

VID RECS:
newkidfan's Blood Makes Noise (Lost) - A gorgeous layering and coloring that is lush and full with jumpcut editing and wavering images. The interesting framing choices feel like the zeroing in on a microscope that amps up the intensity and tension along with the effects. It doesn't hurt that I gave her the musical prompt because I've wanted to see this song vidded well to Lost for as long as the show has been on the air.

danegen's Down by the Water (Southland) - I've never watched Southland, but that didn't matter because I was able to plug into the more emotional aspect of the vid. I know I'm missing the depth and understanding that would come with knowing the source, but the vid is still terrific in the use of imagery. It feels like a great study of objects and how people can become objects in that sense. I think my favorite aspect is how a woman's dead body is transformed into a landscape.

WashingTones' Dr. House is a wicked cool music video that uses footage of the band performing and source footage from the show, House, too. The end result is an engaging music video that has me bopping around and singing the chorus in the shower.

Civilization by Marco Brambilla

"Civilization, a video mural created for the new Standard hotel in New York City, depicts a journey from hell to heaven interpreted through modern film language using computer-enhanced found footage. This epic video mural contains over 300 individual channels of looped video blended into a multi-layered seamless tableau of interconnecting images that illustrate a contemporary, satirical take on the concepts of Heaven and Hell."
