VID REC: The O.C. - Mad World

[talitha78.livejournal.com]

I'm assuming the once-a-month vid rec thing is still in effect, and since this is the last Friday in September, I thought I'd go ahead and post this before I forget.

Vidder: mamoru22
Musical artist: Gary Jules
Pairing: Seth/Ryan
Vidder on LJ: mamoru22
Vidder's website: http://www.blacksheep69.com/

Why this vid kicks ass:

I haven't run across a lot of O.C. vids in my time in the fandom, so it was a real joy to discover this vidder, who has no less than three O.C. vids on her site. And they're Seth/Ryan, to boot! "Mad World, Version Two" is absolutely lovely; the slow cadence of the song melds perfectly with the drawn-out, longing looks shared between Ryan and Seth in scenes ranging from the Pilot to the season finale. This is a true shipper's vid in the sense that someone who has never seen a single episode of the actual show could be forgiven for believing that The O.C. is the angst-ridden saga of two beautiful young men named Seth and Ryan. It warms the cockles of my slashy little heart.

Clicking below will take you to the LJ post where mamoru22 presents her three O.C. vids. As always, please right-click and save as.
