Vidder: Phoenix Musical artist: The Verve Vidder's website: Solely SlytherinWhy this vid kicks ass: There are some vids you can watch over and over again and never get tired of. This is one of them. Phoenix uses the litany, "I can change, I can change," to show all the different roles Remus Lupin has played in his life -- friend, teacher, monster -- while still holding onto what's important. Bittersweet Symphony | | |

Vidder: Mariah [fallinangelz21] Musical artist: Aerosmith Pairing: n/a Vidder on LJ: n/a Vidder's website: Mariah's Farscape vidsWhy this vid kicks ass:Epic in song and scope, this vid epitomizes the Farscape universe. It's John-centric, because really, Farscape is his story. And there's a beautiful mix of images, editing and effects--all of which seem to fit perfectly into the music and the lyrics. Mariah is my friend [yay!], but even if she wasn't I'd pimp this vid to anyone who'd listen. I've watched it over and over and over again...and that's saying a lot. Dream On

Vidder: XenaSoul Musical artist: Justin Timberlake Pairing: Gibbs/DiNozzo Vidder on LJ: xenasoulVidder's website: The Art EmporiumWhy this vid kicks ass: I haven't come across very many NCIS songvids yet, so I originally thought I wouldn't be reccing one in this fandom. Oh, how wrong I was! As soon as I discovered Sexy Back I knew I'd found a winner. There's a wonderful mix of lyric and image here, and XenaSoul uses the combination to capture the friction between Gibbs and DiNozzo in all its weird, slightly D/s glory. I love the way she repeats images, too, and how Tony comes across as both a giant dork, really, really hot, and totally entwined with Gibbs. This is the relationship I see when I watch the show, concentrated into a sharp, gorgeous package. Sexy Back | | |

Vidder: Zoetrope Musical artist: The Magnetic Fields Pairing: McKay/Sheppard Vidder on LJ: zoetropeVidder's website: the website of tara r.Why this vid kicks ass: This amazing songvid is a combination of animation and canon footage, and it seduces you so thoroughly into adoring Rodney being a dork within the first few seconds, that you don't realise how technically accomplished the vid is until the second or third veiwing. Absolutely Cuckoo is both hilarious and touching, showing us Rodney distilled into in his purest, most contradictory form, and wow, it makes me love him even more than I already did. This is one of my all time re-watching favourite songvids in any fandom, and you should be willing to fight Wraith bare-handed for a chance to see it... or, you know, you could just click on the link.

Attn. Drivers: Today is the last Friday of the month, which means it's time for Friday Night Drive-In, a.k.a. Fan Vid Recs! Reccers may post 1 vid rec for their fandom, formatted as follows:
Subject Line: VID REC: Fandom - Song Title
Vidder: Musical artist: Pairing: Vidder on LJ: Vidder's website: Why this vid kicks ass:
Because the vidder community has some unique ownership issues, it’s important that reccers be extra careful when making vid recs. Depending on the vidder’s preferences regarding public access to their work, please link your rec in the appropriate manner:
1. If the video is publicly accessible, direct link to the web page the vid is linked on, or if it’s the vidder’s request, to the HTML splash page of their site.
or…
2. Link to the site with instructions on acquiring the password, if the site is protected – do not reveal the password yourselves.
or…
3. Provide contact info for the vidder if their vids are only available privately (tapes, dvd-R’s, collections, etc.).
Do not: Hotlink, i.e. link directly to the video file rather than the webpage. Re-upload videos that a vidder has removed from the web. Delay in removing a vid rec if requested to do so by the vidder.
Thank you! | | |

Fandom: STAR WARS Pairing: None Author on LJ: amchauAuthor Website: EFFULGENT ECLECTIVITYWhy this must be read:Journey's End is one of those stories I'm a sucker for: quiet, slightly disjointed, and ultimately more complex than they look. This is a simple story of Obi-Wan and all the little moments that matter. ( Excerpt )Journey's End | | |

Vidder: Diana Michelle Musical artist: Garbage Pairing: None Vidder on LJ: butterflyVidder's website: Myriad -- Infinite PossibilitiesWhy this vid kicks ass: Butterfly is a master of the perfectly timed cut. You'll see what I mean when you watch this vid. Not only that, but her song choice is awesome. "Push It" captures Anakin's rage and turns it into music. Not to mention the way the lyrics and the visuals are aligned to reflect each other. You must watch this vid. Push It | | |
