2008 Vid Roundup

[spinspinsugar]

I made a total of 30 vids this year. What the? What the hell else did I do with my time??

Year-End Vid Roundup

January
"Got A Hold On Me" - Ballet Shoes/Driving Lessons - Ben/Pauline | download + watch
Um. This seemed like a good idea at the time! Strangely, it's one of my most-watched vids on youtube.

"All Fall Down" - Ballet Shoes (with slight Driving Lessons crossover) - Pauline character study | download + watch
I'm still father fond of this one.

"On My Radar" - real people - Shane West/Mandy Moore | download + watch
♥ ♥ ♥ I friggin' adore these two.

February
"Falling Inside The Black" - HP - Ron/Hermione(/Krum) | download + watch
ANGST. And overuse of effects. Could be worse.

"Something To Believe In" - HP - Ron/Hermione | download + watch
I'd like to remake this. There are a few scenes that seem out of place. Generally, I love it lots. I wanted an overview of Ron and Hermione's relationship as portrayed in the films and I think I succeeded. :)

"She's A Bit Of A Sidekick (and so is he)" - real people - Rupert Grint/Emma Watson | download + watch
This took me aaages. But well worth the time, I think. The fact that Emma adores (ADORES!) Ron and Hermione is terribly cute to me. ♥ And Rupert's finally come 'round. Sort of.

March
"Yeah. Um." - real people - Rupert/Emma | download + watch
I think this took me less than half an hour to put together. It still cracks me up. Oh, these two.

"Gravity" - real people - Rupert/Emma | download + watch
Ahhh. My epic Rupert and Emma retrospective. (Hm. I think I may have been a BIT obsessed with these two...)

"Angst, Tension, & :D!" - real people - Rupert/Emma | download + watch
Or, She's A Bit Of A Sidekick (and so is he), Part Two. The first was all sweetness and wanting... this one's much lighter. ;)

"All That I Am" - HP - Ron/Hermione/Luna | download + watch
This started off as Ron/Luna... but then Hermione begged to be included, and I simply could not refuse her. I think I managed some nifty effects in this one that I'm still quite proud of. But I managed to lose the plot somewhere, and now I'm left wondering what on earth I was thinking...

"I Like It Crazy" - real people - Michael Seater/Ashley Leggat (life with derek) | download + watch
I could not resist vidding the completely dorktastic and adorable Michael and Ashley after viewing their podcasts and such. Could. Not. Resist.

April
"Until The Earth Stops Turning" - SPN - Sam/Dean | download + watch
I want to remake this. I love it a lot, but oh, it could be so much better (and prettier)!

"So Contagious" - real people - Rupert/Emma | download + watch
Finally! The last of the Rupert and Emma videos. It's a bit different... Rupert POV. I hadn't yet done it from his side.

May
"We Will Rock You" - SPN - Sam/Dean | download + watch
I loved loved LOVED making this. It took me forever to get it right, but in the end I even stunned myself. ;) Am still so proud of this.

"Fast As You Can" - Gossip girl - Chuck/Serena | download + watch
I want to remake this SO BADLY. I'm certain I will not change a single thing... I just want to get rid of those ridiculous CW logos! Forever my Gossip girl OTP. ♥

"Crush" - Gossip girl - Chuck/Nate | download + watch
Oh, what happened to these boys in season two?? I need to remake this one as well. There are a few cuts and such that bother me...

"Stay Awake" - SPN - Sam/Dean (vidlet) | download + watch
Shortly after posting this vid, I wrote in my (handwritten) journal: All of fandom best not come after me with pitchforks. What? It's a totally valid fear! I felt so guilty posting such a depressing vid days after the heartbreaking season finale.

June
"I'm Yours" - SPN - Sam/Dean (J2) | download + watch
After making such a depressing vid, I needed some happytimes, stat, so I thought, 'Why not make a vid of Sam and Dean SMILING?' Why not indeed! Who needs good mood pills when you have J2. ;)

"Passenger Seat" - SPN - Sam/Dean | download + watch
It is amazing how these two say SO MUCH without saying ANYTHING AT ALL. I'm still quite proud of this... I just think it could use a teeny tiny bit of editing.

"Demons" - SPN - Dean character study | download + watch
This was my second Sweet Charity vid, and the first time I didn't choose the song myself. Consequently, I didn't vid this as I usually do, and am generally happy with the result. The ending, especially, was such fun to put together.

July
"Beautiful World" - SPN - Sam/Dean + gen | download + watch
Ah. The family business. Saving people. And I showed it in chronological order, no less! (With lots of footage of Sam and Dean taking care of each other. Sigh.)

"I Can't See Why" - Gilmore girls - Rory/Dean | download + watch
And now for something completely different! I loved the way this turned out.

August
"Sundrenched World" - Gilmore girls - Rory/Dean | download + watch
OTP OTP OTP. Oh, I will forever love them, my fucked up pretties.

September
"Be Mine" - SPN - Sam/Dean | download + watch
Mmm. Wincest set to Placebo. I'll be remaking this sometime in '09. I want to fix the middle section, and get rid of the CW logos.

"Fallen Angel" - SPN - Sam/Ruby | download + watch
I love that I made this pre-4.09. :) I honestly thought that the show would never go there. I'm so proud of this, but there are a few things that need fixing...

October
"Walk The Walk" - SPN - Sam/Dean | download + watch
This video took me ten million years. I started it back in '07, let it sit on my harddrive for months half-finished, and finally wrapped it up over a year later. ;)

"Born Under A Bad Sign" - SPN - Sam character study | download + watch
Because keepaofthecheez wanted a Sam!vid to this song, and I wanted to vid Sam. :)

November
"Epic Love Story" - SPN - Sam/Dean | download + watch
Oh, boys!

"Pretty" - SPN - Sam/Ruby/Dean | download + watch
Ah. This one turned out so so well. I'm pleased.

December
"Sour Cherry" - real people - Jensen Ackles/Jared Padalecki/Alexis Bledel (vidlet) | download + watch
Texan OT3. ♥

i love them all, but "i'm yours" is my go to happy vid :)

[persuna.livejournal.com]

Choosing a favourite is very hard! Which is, um, why I chose four... But Be Mine has this amazing atmosphere and lyrical interpretation, and Pretty possibly is the prettiest vid ever, and BUABS is full of Sam and Sundrenched World makes my heart overflow with Dean/Rory love and somehow gives them this weight that goes beyond the fluffy youth vibe they often got on the show. So I really can't choose. And if Passenger Seat had been on the list I may have had to vote five times because I love that one. It's so simple, but somehow so beautiful. And I don't even know why I didn't vote for I'm Yours because that is totally my happy place. You confuse me with these cruel questions about who I love the most.

[proofpudding.livejournal.com]

Aw. ♥ Thank you very much.

[deirdre-c.livejournal.com]

All of the Above!!!! ;)

[proofpudding.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha. Even the ones you've never even heard of?? ;)

[audreygersons.livejournal.com]

Wait you made a Michael/Ashley video!!! No idea, I'm going to check that out.

'Fast as you can' still is no words I effin love that shit. 'Gossip Girl' in general Idk, I have yet to get into it I missed all of season 2 except the whole Nate/Jenny.

[reken.livejournal.com]

I chose "I Can't See Why", "Sundrenched World" (OTP forever, and these are the best Dean/Rory vids I've ever seen:)), "Pretty" (I'm not a Sam/Ruby fan but you made me like them!:)), "We Will Rock You" (it's one of the best introductions to SPN and Winchester boys) and "Sour Cherry" - it's not in the list, but it's awesome (and it's also my OT3:)) and I'd choose it too!

[secretlytodream.livejournal.com]

Well, i love many of your videos, but i chose "Demons" because i think it was the first one which i watched from you. I mean, this? This vidder MUST be as awesome as i thought =) So yeah, pretty much because it was the first one i chose it ;)
