Vividcon Recs: Many of Them (Part 1 of 2)

First of all, there are no recs of Apocalypse West vids, but they were all awesome, I thought.

Second, I'm splitting this up between stuff from Premieres and stuff from everywhere else. There may also be a third post of non-premiering recommendations.

With that said,
here we go...

It's the End of the World as We Know It (Community) by [livejournal.com profile] danegen  - My basic reaction to this is "Holy crap how am I not watching this show?" So that's awesome.

Caramelo (Miami Vice) by [livejournal.com profile] franzeska - I've never seen Miama Vice, but I didn't need to. The way this vid moves is incredible.  And it tells a great story about a female cop buddy team.

You Told the Drunks I Knew Karate (Doctor Who) by [livejournal.com profile] settiai - RORY! This is not to say that every Rory vid is excellent. This one, however, is. An adorable story of a boy and his love for a crazy person.

Lost Girl (A Character Primer) (Lost Girl) by [livejournal.com profile] hellpenguin - This one's a little rough around the edges, but it's adorable and fun and totally sold me on this show. I think that counts as a win.

House by the Sea (Spartacus: Blood and Sand) by [livejournal.com profile] jarrow  - An emotional journey with a great use of the musicality. Also, damned pretty.

May I Suggest (Up) by [personal profile] absolutedestiny  - Dammit. Don't watch this if you don't want to get sniffly. Just the first few notes into my rewatch on the DVD and I was tearing up.  Powerful, powerful stuff, all managed with hard cuts and no effects (at least, not as far as I noticed).

Roll with the Changes (How to Train Your Dragon) by [personal profile] fan_eunice - So much awesome in this vid. Eunice just knows how to take you for a rollercoaster of action, adventure, and emotion. This song couldn't be more perfect for the subject.

We Rule the World (My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic) by [livejournal.com profile] cherryice - Apparently My Little Ponies are awesome now. This vid told me that. God, I'm gonna have to watch this show now.

Don't Forget Me (Buffy) by [livejournal.com profile] obsessive24 - The Riley vid you didn't know you needed. Riley's story from his point of view, not Buffy's. Some stupendous use of paralleling images and motion matching.

High Voltage (Stargate) by [livejournal.com profile] kuwdora - A powerful and comprehensive look at the Ancients influence on the human race in the various Stargate series. Even for a guy like me who missed every arc episode, it's amazing.

Thistle and Weeds (Game of Thrones) by [livejournal.com profile] sisabet - I don't watch Game of Thrones, but this is just so damn well put together. I can't even start to talk about it. I've already sounded like an idiot once trying to.

One Foot Wrong (Batman Returns) by [livejournal.com profile] dualbunny - Why aren't there more Catwoman vids? Seriously.

Hold On (Whoniverse) by [personal profile] flummery - Perfectly captures the driving energy that is Sarah Jane. What a magical way to end the Premieres show...

That's all for now. Recs from Club Vivid and some of the other shows coming tomorrow or Saturday.
