VID REC: Smallville

[twigged.livejournal.com]

Since our Friday is 3/4 over in my time zone and we haven't had a single vid rec (*sobs*) I'm kicking things off with my all-time favorite vid. The assigned Smallville reccer may post her own rec as well, and if she does then double the Clex is a v. good thing. *g*


Song Title/Artist: Lonely Soul by unkle
Pairing: Lex-centric
Vidder: Kaliroi
Vidder on LJ: dreamaperture
Vidder's website: Slashland
Warnings: Some violent images
Why this vid kicks ass:

It just does. The song and images are perfectly suited for each other, it's edited beautifully, it's emotionally very powerful.

I was going to e-mail you and tell you that this HAD to be the one--if you remember, you're the one who originally pointed it out to me.

This is my absolute favorite SV vid. A song I'd never heard before (and now love) combined with a use of visual effects that is precise and incredibly powerful. Not only that, it's Lexcentric, although the lyrics work for both Clark and Lex. Because it evokes emotion and tone rather than attempting to describe or create events, it remains "true" no matter what has happened in canon in the months since I first viewed it.

I should have let you write the review. ;)

And yeah, this video is amazing. I have watched it over and over and it's always fresh.

BTW, the song inspired me to buy the CD and it's all v. good. Do you want me to burn you a copy?

Why, yes, I do want that!

And that Angel thing, btw. Oh god. *dies laughing*

Oops, sorry! I think Kaliroi switches them out sometimes and I didn't think to make sure it was up when I made the rec. I emailed her to see if she might put it up, or when it might be up and I will let you know what I hear.

It really is a gorgeous vid so I hope you get to see it!!

Okay, it's back up!!
