Vid Rec: Defying Gravity by YFish42

[lyr]

I want to warn y'all right now: I am about to take shameless advantage of Drive-In Friday vid recs not counting against my monthly total. There are a number of excellent vids in our fandom, and I can see not many have been rec'd here, so I'm going to offer up a handful.

Why this vid kicks ass: This vid is a delightfully inspiring tribute to the wonderful, strong, vibrant women of Firefly. I want to start my vid pile with this widely-rec'd gem, even though I think it's very likely that our entire fandom has already seen it. Joss has seen it (and approved!), and you can't get much more classic than that. This vid deserves the attention it's garnered, not only because of its smooth pacing and excellent pairing of clips to song lines (the clip of Zoe at Wash's gravestone paired with "flying solo" is particularly striking), but also because it really crawls right into your heart and makes you feel like defying gravity yourself.
