more vid recs
Maybe I'll use this post for vid recs from VVC.
Like a Stone by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sdwolfpup, Prison Break
Whoa. And. Fuck. Okay, the hot on this is exponential, and the fast scene cuts just add to the obsessive, sweaty, heated need pounding through the entire thing. It's all about addiction, to drugs and to a single person. I just--really. I've watched this four times and then bought the song, okay? That.
There's a lot I could say technically about it, though I don't think I have the vocabulary yet to really explain, much less the actual knowledge, so laugh at will.
It's a fast vid, even when it's not, with flashes of the slow descent into desperation and obsession and need. It's sharp and violent and follows the character's pov in a very third-person limited. I thought I had favorite moments, but the truth is, I love it all. Watch for: the wall and echoing between the characters early on, the fight in the yard, and the bit near the end with the knife and back to caressing the wall. Around someone. Drug use as heaven, with a semi-explicit pose of ecstacy and spread thighs was fantastically timed.
This proves dirty is sexy. And God, is it.
Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You) byfan_eunice, Dr. Who
Master and Doctor. It sounds like the start of some very specialized porn, and well. Yeah. The vid's fantastic though, as quirky as the Doctor, and gets across both the whimsy and the fixation both. You will laugh. But you'll still hurt a little at the end. She's that good.
White America by anonymous, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Supernatural, Veronica Mars
This one has some discussion as well as the link. I'm still thinking through what I got out of it, which was intensely both racial and classist (by that I mean, exploration of class), but this one has a *lot* of discussion and I'm still not sure. I liked it, though. A lot.
Yes, I have my drugs. Kinda a bit high, really. I may post dS fic tonight. If I can keep remembering how to type.

From:Do you know where I can find it? My google-fu is failing me, and I haven't been able to watch it since my laptop Snark committed seppuku in the middle of last year's NaNo.

From:I downloaded, then snuck a quick watch during lunch-time, and I'm spending the afternoon with that song on repeat. It's been a while since I've fallen for a songvid so hard.

My Two Cents
From:Seriously, the structure is all to hell, the idea is muddled and it could have been BRILLIANT! I think the effort in submitting the vid anonymously and continuing to stay anonymous took more effort than actually making the vid. It just seems like a desperate plea for attention (more of the troll posting anonymous variety) than any sort of coherant argument.
I think we just *want* for this vid to be something it isn't - a fuck you to fandom or to classism and racism and possibly sexism in fandom and while it doesn't succeed on ANY of these measures, we want it so badly that we will talk about it anyway.

Re: My Two Cents
From:And yeah, I do think there's a lot of search for something in discussion, and I'm pretty sure I'm doing the same thing when watching. I'm all about mutliplicity in interpretation, but this much, and most of it in pieces, does tend me toward wondering if I'm seeing what I want it to be.

Re: My Two Cents
From:White America doesn't know what it is and what it wants to be and was probably the most poorly constructed vid I saw all weekend.

Re: My Two Cents
From:I do have three vids that premiered this weekend to post, so there is that. But, yeah - I am not posting a vid about how I suck to the internet for everyone to see. My sucking is only to be shared to those near and dear to me and present at VVC.

Re: My Two Cents
From:Actually, what I really suddenly want is for everyone to be inspired to do a commentary track on their vids. That, honestly, was fascinating to read along with. Like a live dvd commentary, come to think. That was my favorite part.

From:The wall-echoes were really shiny, but what I liked most about those sequences was how tactile, sensuous Mahone's (yeah, I looked it up) obsession is. Everything seems to be through touch, through experience.
Fichtner was just beyond nummy too.
