VID REC: The Professionals - A Fire is Burning

Vidder: Media Cannibals (Alex, Gwyn, Sandy)
Musical artist: Oysterband
Pairing: Bodie/Doyle partnership

Vidder's website: Media Cannibals
Why this vid kicks ass: What I really like about this vid is the sense of movement. From the opening of it, the boys are running. Running in tight pants, running with guns out, running to save their lives and everyone else's. It gives a good over-all picture of the show--the franticness, the action, the adventure, the drama, the violence. The visual cuts are well-done and the song is well-chosen. It's just a nicely done vid with good pacing. A good introduction to what people can expect from the show.

Fantastic rec! As you said, the rhythm and pacing is wonderful.

This is the vid that brought me into the fandom! I had to know more about them after seeing this.

It's a great song, and fits the boys, and the show, perfectly.
a lover was a comrade was a
stranger was a friend & when we
slept our eyes were open & this
thumping in our chest,
said "there is no, there is no,
there is no rest"

Holy crap, Oysterband! I love them so... interested in anything involving them, actually. Unfamiliar with the fandom, will have to see more. Whoa, mama.

Oooh, I haven't seen this in years! It's reminded me of everything I love about the show.

Now I'm off on a fandom revival and have already pimped it to someone else. I'm blaming you. ;)

Yes! And thanks for quoting some of the lyrics here ... that will help other curious folds get a good sense of the song. It works for the boys on so many levels.

Yay! Always glad to get someone else to take a look at a new fandom. I don't know much about the band, but I really like the song choice for this vid.

*G* That's the kind of blame I'll accept 110% willingly. And hey, how many fandoms can claim they have a perfect ass? *snicker*

I haven't been in the fandom that long, but it's very much alive and kicking! Definitely lots going on in PROS. You should check out the ship_manifesto on the show here: http://www.livejournal.com/community/ship_manifesto/96436.html

It's a great overview by justacat.

Well I do have "Ray's bum" listed as an interest. Though it does also refer to Ray "Peachbutt" Vecchio. ;)

I've already read the manifesto via tboy's rec. Must fb it -- it brought back so many memories, since I haven't really sat down and watched an ep in so long.

Now, must get/make Pros icon...
