Snowflake Challenge Day 8: Rec other people's fanworks!

[sidleypkhermit]

impala_chick's post for this day reminded me I've been meaning to do more vid recs myself! I feel like vidding is underappreciated in the fast-fast-fast churn of the social web.

In no particular order:

Northern Star by lilly_the_kid
Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers/Maria Rambeau, Carol Danvers & the Rambeaus. I think I might have recced this before? 

Back Off by lilly_the_kid
Reservoir Dogs, Vic/Eddie. Read the vidder's notes, and I'm just gonna c/p the comment I originally left on this vid:
The opening creates such a feeling of tension and impending doom by juxtaposing all the most affectionate/playful images between the characters with the shots following Blonde out to the car trunk and into the horror show of the ear scene. You make great use of the driving beat of the song, and all the different "back, back, back" refrains, and the irony of the lyrics as we keep intercutting perspectives from scenes of "cool Vic" as Eddie must see him to what he's doing in the warehouse. And the chaos of the last section makes it feel like we're in the fragmenting of Eddie's own mind.

Maeve’s Dream by caramarie
Westworld (HBO), Maeve character vid set to FUCKING 'PIRATE JENNY'. Fucking incredible. I'ma quote from myself again:
Wow! I was already sold when I saw the music choice — the most Maeve song imaginable — and you used an amazing version that I've never heard before, that seems like it must have been really challenging to work with, and pulled it off flawlessly. There are so many good moments I could highlight, but the ending is just perfect. This is definitely one that I'll be coming back to watch again.

Gangster's Paradise by VampireDiariesxGer
Westworld (HBO), ensemble. This is a pretty different one, with more of that YouTube vid aesthetic (lots of filters on everything, and none of the irony we're more used to in this end of fandom). But tbh it goes hard and I had a lot of fun watching it.

what's to come by ryfkah
Jesus Christ Superstar, Jesus/Judas, ARE YOU KIDDING ME THIS IS GENIUS

Psalm 40:2 by mithborien
Constantine (2005) to, yes, "Psalm 40:2" by The Mountain Goats. Man, this is the three-minute condensed version of why I say Constantine is the only movie to get the Vertigo aesthetic and we were all morons to not appreciate it at the time.

Hooray for fanvideos! I agree that vidding seems underappreciated. I love going back to re-watch my favorites. It's such a great medium.

I've seen that Captain Marvel vid before. It's really well done!

These look great, definitely bookmarking them for later when I have more time to watch them. I love vids ♥
