One of the things I've been doing lately is rewatching older vids, so I thought I'd take the time to share some of the ones that have hit the spot recently.
(This is not intentionally a themed rec set, except that the kinds of vids that have hit the spot recently do....tend to fall in one of a few specific categories. As you might notice.)
1. Landsailor, by Raven
multifandom
"We're gonna need a bigger boat." I only know one of the fandoms that goes into this vid, but it does a clear job telling the story/stories such that you don't actually need to be familiar. It's so beautiful and optimistic about the things people do together to make things happen.
2. Soon Love Soon, by usuallyhats
Master and Commander
"To be a part is to be truly whole." I mean. That. And it does an amazing job of building the song and visuals together to create something really moving.
3. Change You Like a Remix, by bessyboo
The Lego Movie and lego of all types and fandom as a whole
"No, I think it looked a little better on me." A fascinating vid that starts out looking like a vid about the Lego Movie, then moves into being about Lego media in general and then into, like, fandom. About creativity and creation and being inspired to do things.
4. Work This Body, by cherryice
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle
"Maybe the real Jumanji was the friends we made along the way." IDEK I just am endlessly charmed by this vid, which I watched well before I ever saw the movie. It's fun and upbeat and great, and I watched it an unconscionable number of times even before I ever saw the movie.
5. Do You Dance?, by AurumCalendula
Pride & Prejudice
"Do you dance, Mr. Darcy?" Rare for me in that it's a lyric-less vid that I nonetheless really enjoy.I love the mirroring of their movements in the dance to the movements of their relationship throughout the movie, as the two are interwoven.
6. All In Together, by odessie
The Great British Bake Off
"Celebrate your oddities, your art, your own insanity." This vid was delightful when I first watched it, before I'd ever seen GBBO, and now that I've obsessively watched many seasons' worth it's even more delightful. The vid manages to capture in just a few minutes so much of what's lovely about the show.
7. Parachute, by thingswithwings
Leverage
"I don't need a parachute, baby, if I've got you." I love this ot3 a lot (Hardison/Parker/Elliot) and this vid is wonderfully them. So lovely. I love how much of the focus of the vid is on them being there for each other and supporting each other.
8. C'mon, by rhoboat
Inside Out
"What would my head be like?" Many feelings. Very yes.
9. Even If It Hurts, by pollyrepeat
Star Wars sequel trilogy
"It's darkest before the dawn." Focuses on Poe, Paige, Rose, Finn, Rey, and Leia, facing the hard things as they do what needs to be done.
10. Show Me your Teeth, by Dogstar
Hieronymous Bosch
"Tell me something that'll save me." Look, it's a vid about the weirdness of Hieronymous Bosch's art. It's weird and amazing.
