I Am Establishing A Position On The Internet - and how awesome is it that there's a male cover of that song in the first place: Given how awesome the Merlin fandom is despite its youth, I should not be surprised at all that the first Merlin vid I come across is so awesome it must be seen to be believed. Go. Now. Spoilers up to 1x07, and really, just about all of it is from that episode, so--OH WHATEVER JUST GO SEE IT. code word: chapstick (merlin fanvid) by sajee82.

bonibaru: "Plus you can’t underestimate the power of being such an entirely huge nerd":laurashapiro and Francesca Coppa made a series of short (~3 min) documentaries about vidding for MIT's New Media Literacies program. They're here. The audience is - I think - high school and college age students, so they're pretty accessible to everyone. Start with "What is Vidding?" I was trying to explain vidding to someone the other day and I wish I'd just been able to say go watch those. The "collaborations" piece gives a nice plug to [info]vidding (of which moi am a co-moderator, although [info]morgandawn does most of the heavy lifting - I just quell flamewars, police tagging, grant permissions and smack rule violators :D :D :D

[some kind of title] - [3 vid recs & a reminder]: Lost: Miles From Where You Are by dayln03. Jack/Sawyer/Claire AU with a compelling story and some truly amazing manips. (Personal side note: I always love to see how other people have interpreted a song I've vidded myself. It's like seeing it from a fresh perspective.) Doctor Who: The Scientist by mischief89. Doctor/Martha I adore when it hits about 3 minutes in. OH MARTHA. Battlestar Galactica: Easy Silence by maidmarian158. Helo/Athena. There's something soft and understated about this video that just really appeals to me.

ivorygates: VIDREC: THE PENDULUM SWINGS [SG-1, J/D]: The Pendulum Swings by kazbaby. Music: Waltzing's for Dreamers by Keith Hancock. Jack/Daniel. You all know that learning to vid is on my do-list for after I become Galactic Emperor, right? Well, thanks to kazbaby I don't have to wait. She took my babbleicious ramblings and created this gorgeous, painful, ultimately awesome vid. And it actually reduces me to incoherent flailing, so now you have to see it...

[some kind of title] - More H:LotS vids exist! (woohoo!): This Is Such A Pity by ILovePartnerLove. I know how to pick on you. You push me over the edge. Frank/Tim. Push by befriendsomeonetoday. I wanna take you for granted. Frank POV, Frank/Tim. I love this one so much. Oh, Frank! ♥ And the same vidder seems to have a Bayliss counterpart vid: Bent. I know you think I need a lot. Tim POV, Tim/Frank. Tim is so needy. Oh, Timmy! ♥ How to Save a Life by quietandsneaky. As he begins to raise his voice, you lower yours. Frank/Tim. Over My Head again by ILovePartnerLove. She's on your mind. Tim Bayliss, Tim/Frank. And for a change, this one is not a Frank or Tim vid: Evidence by Uncletim. Ensemble, gen.

Xina Marie Uhl - Dark Angel Fic, Vids, & Podfic Recs Master Post (Gen, Slash, Other & Crossovers): Vids: I Like the Way You Move by thandie - Kick ass in the BEST possible way. I've watched this vid time and time again and it never gets old! ETA - it looks like this vid is still available in .avi, but not on youtube. One Jump Ahead by backinblack made this funny, awesome Alec vid. 20th Century Boy by crazywritinfool Summary: Transgenic Action Alec--he's your toy, your 20th century boy. Well, 21st century, but who's counting? All Alec, practically every frame. Beware! Your ovaries may explode from his gorgeousness. Girlfriend by bunniqula Summary: Alec thinks Logan needs a new girlfriend... as long as that 'girlfriend' is him. (Logan/Alec and Logan/Max) Gratuitous use of balls, sticks, Jensen Ackles' mouth and other phallic and sexual innuendo. A clever, upbeat slashy vid that made me smile.

CRYSTALchain - With You (This World Is A Better Place): I just found this video and I have to rec it cause it is without question, and this is really not an understatement, the most beautiful Sam & Dean musicvideo I've ever seen. I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes, no kidding. Just...Wow! I love the song and the scenes fit so well with the lyrics and just... god, it's so gorgeous!! I could watch it over and over again ♥ this is the reason why I love this show so much. "The epic lovestory of Sam & Dean Winchester" made by proofpudding.

Night & Day - SPN vid rec: This video is my new happy place: The Epic Love Story of Sam&Dean by proofpudding. It's not a Wincest video despite the title.* It's just a look at how much they love each other and how much they mean to each other and it's just beautifully done. Beautiful colours, wonderful editing and it just made me smile and feel all good inside. *happy sigh* *Unless you like it to be. Then it's the greatest tribute to their gigantic incesty gay love EVER! Ehem.
