My class ended early today and I took advantage of the time to watch VVC DVDs, leave feedback, and make some recs. Look at my productive self. I'm all caught up with my college courses for today, but tomorrow is another story when we get more assignments. College makes me sleepy.

VID RECS (VVC disc 1 - premieres part 1):
halcyon_shift's VVC Premieres Intro 09 Star Trek In 60 Seconds (Re-enacted by Llamas) - Massive LULZ.

DC's We Are (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) - Calculated action, beautiful overlays, great pacing, and interesting lyrical interpretations.

bradcpu (and laurashapiro)'s Hard Sun (Firefly) - This is the vid that knows where I live.

I love the sounds in the beginning and how it just flows into the vid with all the twists and turns. Love the ivory tower. Love it like burning. It's amazing how well it all fits together and feels so right to me. It's like it couldn't be any other way than to see the lens flares at 1:09 blend together. The introduction of the rain is beautifully done and I love how the vid continues while the original footage is of walking away at the end. It's so full of love and appreciation that it bubbles up inside me and makes me smile and feel a bit better about certain things. There is sadness in the vid, like in the 2:20s when they walk away and the weeping, but I'm ultimately left with the crews and happiness.

jarrow's Learning to Crawl (Battlestar Galactica) - DAYUM, that's hot and I want to make out with it. There's so much tension and sexiness in the tight editing. Beyond the femslash and sexiness there's deep character beats within the vid and that's something beautiful.

mlyn and Jo's It Comes and Goes In Waves (Varg Veum) - Beautiful use of the source with the beautiful framing compositions and colors. I love the progression of the vid and how it changes into something so dark and violent, yet still beautiful with the changes in the music. The symbolism and emotions are so engaging that I connect with the vid without knowing the source.

hollywoodgrrl's Marble House (Doctor Who) - The editing and atmosphere is stellar. I think my favorite parts are the use of the watch in the instrumental section because it's so finely edited and heartbreaking. Honestly, the whole thing is edited with great skill.

At first I was reading as the Doctor has the choice to run off in the TARDIS, while the humans have to stay and face the fights. The Doctor plays with humanity, including John Smith, without having to face the darker aspects of it. He can go hands off whenever he wants. The Doctor can deal with aliens fine, but he doesn't stick around for humanity's darkness. That he leaves to us (and Torchwood I suppose). The Doctor leaves humanity to its own darkness. A darkness that isn't supernatural, but coming from within ourselves, which makes it all the more frightening, especially for The Doctor, who wants to love humanity. He just wants to run away from the darkness in our hearts.

dualbunny's Video Killed the Radio Star (Wizard of Oz - Elphaba [Wicked]) - I don't know Wicked very well, but I still was able to enjoy the vid. The motion and jumpcuts in the editing are great. I love how you take the footage and have us look at it from a bit to the left. The zooms make the footage more interesting and grabbing, while it also has me thinking about the scenes differently in my mind because they look different than I'm used to. It's so fun and even more fun with femslash goggles!

Two of the greatest things I’ve ever seen:

This semester I’ve started my Ashland classes and I’m taking one LCCC class still. I have Foundations in Literacy, Teaching & Learning Process, Intro to World Religion, Workshop Teaching Intervention Specialist, Assistive Technology for IS, and Sensory Motor for IS. I have unbelievably long days on Tuesday and Thursday from 9:30am to 7:45pm. Starting soon I’ll have another student teaching, which will eat my life. This semester I plan to not have any friends, never go out, barely have time to eat, and probably never sleep.

VID RECS:
absolutedestiny’s Rodeohead (Firefly/Serenity) - It puts smile on my face just thinking about. It’ can slip of from farce to dramatic to comedic to vaguely creepy and then right back to farce.

aycheb’s Quantum Theory (Children of Men) – A quiet, somber, and lulling feeling vid, yet harsh with great build.

bradcpu’s Working Class Hero (Firefly/Serenity) – I completely fail to explain what it is about this vid that hits me except that it’s one of the truest messages of Firefly and Brad is able to get that across with subtle movements, music matching, clip connections, deep thinky thoughts, and THE SHINY.

cherryice’s Only (Battlestar Galactica) – A complex web of The Four with deep thought and beautiful motion.

dualbunny’s Cosmia (El Laberinto del fauno (Pan's Labyrinth)) – I’m in awe of the song use, the treatment of the material, the eccentric editing style, the odd jump cutting back and forth, the music matches, the movement and motion, the framing, and EVERYTHING.

obessive24’s Jesus for the Jugular (Carnivàle) – The vidding equivalent of being fucked gently with a chainsaw.

sdwolfpup’s The Loyal (Children of Men) – An amazing vid that stuck with me.

sisabet’s Falling for the First Time (Supernatural) - It's sweet and endearing, yet vaguely... dare I say heartwarming...

Changed my layout (kiki_miserychic) to the closest thing I will ever get to a Christmas-y layout. Also, new userpic, which is funny because it’s true.

I turned in my Introduction to Mythology final this morning. It was supposed to a simple 3 page report on Gilgamesh, but it turned into an 8 page report with the last 5 about Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Oops. I also took my Math for Elementary School Teachers’ final today, so I only have Biology and Art History finals left.

I also succumbed and got an imeem account, so be my friend. :)

I just clicked a link to Jewel Staite’s blog thingy to read something about the Flanvention and freaking spoiled myself for something in the latter half of this season of Stargate: Atlantis.

sweetestdrain’s Monochrome a Carnivàle vid that really says something about Ben’s character. Wonderful use of lyrics and an amazing song.

shati’s Paint Mine Blue a post-Serenity Firefly vid with focus on River with beautiful use of the song and the lyrics. The editing and POV shifting is spot on, as is clip choice.

Kristin’s System A Queen of the Damned vid with awesome overlays, flow, and pacing.

newkidfan’s Dreams A Stargate: Atlanis vid with beautiful skill and execution. It creates a whole world and sucks you in. Mindblowing editing and color and amazing source melding.

k_julia’s State of the Union a Battlestar Galactica Tom Zarek view on and parallel to Laura Roslin vid with fitting lyrics. It creates great mood and energy with the pacing, editing, clip choice, movement. You may think a Zerek and Roslin vid is boring, but it’s full of building energy.

shati’s Definition of a Hero a Serenity Firefly vidbite of concentrated awesome.

river_boat’s The Fireman a Buffy the Vampire Slayer vidbite of sweetness.
