Why this vid kicks ass:

This vid kicks ass because Due South kicks ass, They Might be Giants kick ass and 'Istanbul (Not Constantinople)' is the perfect song to bring them together. edit since I realized I forgot to say the vidder kicks ass for being the one to actually put all these kick ass things together.

This vid was down and I'm so happy that it was finally re-posted this month in time for me to rec it. Any vid that completely changes the associations I have for one of my long-standing favorite songs has got to be amazing. This vid is such a perfect fit of song and show that in retrospect you can't believe you didn't think of it.

I'm not a vidder so the finer details of the art are a mystery to me, but I like the quick match-up between the show changes and the song changes and how well the vidder matched the scene settings when she switched from Vecchio to Kowalski and vice versa. I also like how she fit the broader show changes between the first two seasons and the last two with the lyrics. Finally, she ended the video at the perfect time in a brilliant show-lyric match-up (but I won't spoil that).
(but I really do love the ending).
(No, really).


To summarize, If you have a date with Vecchio in Constantinople, Fraser she'll be waiting with Kowalski in Istanbul.
