VID REC: Pirates of the Caribbean - Maid on the Shore

Vidder: Commodorified
Musical artist: Stan Rogers
Pairing: None, (Barbossa/Elizabeth unrequited)
Vidder on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] commodorified
Vidder's website: The Scriptorium
Why this vid kicks ass:

A sea-worthy song choice and extremely clever editing combine to twist the narrative of Curse of the Black Pearl just so, offering a compelling AU. Although [livejournal.com profile] commodorified put this together after the first Pirates movie, the counter-narrative she weaves for Elizabeth strikes a number of interesting parallels to the characters' ultimate fates in At World's End, and prefigures the solitary power wielded by King Elizabeth. Altogether, a thoroughly convincing and intriguing piece of storytelling.
