Why this must be viewed:

How do you make fanvids for a podcast? One approach is to repurpose footage from other canons. This vidder has cleverly set clips from films (Thor, The 2nd Horseman, Constantine, Hellboy, The Lone Ranger, Dogma), television (Dead Like Me, Supernatural, Carlos,* The IT Crowd, Suits, Monty Python’s Flying Circus), and videogames (Dragon Age: Origins) to a cryptic yet catchy alternative rock song, thereby creating a trailer full of action, intimations of apocalypse, and black comedy.

* Carlos, or Carlos the Jackal, is listed on IMDb as a television miniseries, but it received a limited theatrical release.

Great rec here, I really enjoyed that vid and so cool to see people doing this already for the fandom, even if it is much harder than most fandoms.

This vidder has made another trailer, set in the Night Vale Public Library, that's also worth checking out.

Yep, I've already checked that out too (and subscribed to them in the hope they make more) :)
