Xena.

Site: Ausxip Xena Music Videos
Notes: This is a great, great video. The video is full of depth and shows Xena of her path to Redemption. It is wonderfully edited and very thought provoking.

Xena.
Vid Title: When Fates Collide
Author: Warrior Princess Nerd
Site: WarriorPrincessNerd.com
Notes: This is a longish video (8.13) but very much worth the wait. The high quality version is also advised. This is an outstanding video in the retelling of “When fates collide” and very well edited.

Veronica Mars.
Vid Title: Colorblind
Author: whereistheluv
Site: Veronica Mars Music Videos
Notes: “Colourblind” has beautiful music, it’s a sad and emotional video, and it’s deep and touching. Plus the vidder has very appropriately enhanced the theme by using some good colour effects.

Hercules.
Vid Title: Do You Dream Of Me
Author: Mary Crawford
Site: Mary Crawford’s Vids
Notes: This is a very powerful thought provoking vid. It is very creepy and yet strangely sensual. The movement is well timed and it flows beautifully with the song.

Hercules.
Vid Title: Live Till I Die
Author: Mary Crawford
Site: Mary Crawford’s Vids
Notes: I think this video captures the life of a sidekick really well. It is upbeat and optimistic even when Iolus is getting beaten up by everyone. It is a lot of fun but also captures the essence of the character.

Firefly/Serenity.
Vid Title: Thistledown Tears
Author: here’s luck
Site: paper cup:videos by here’s luck
Notes: I really like that this vid puts the western element of Firefly to the forefront both in song and clip choice. It makes it feel closer to the show than a lot of vids which mostly look at the sci fi aspect. It is a very quiet sombre vid that nevertheless has some great motion in it.

Firefly/Serenity.
Vid Title: New Frontier
Author: here’s luck
Site: paper cup:videos by here’s luck
Notes: If you only ever watched one video for the Firefly/Serenity fandom then this would have to be it. This is pure professional quality. This vidder really knows her stuff. The internal motion in this is breathtaking.

Veronica Mars.
Vid Title: Time Bomb
Author: WickedRipePlum
Site: WickedRipePlum’s Fan Videos
Notes: “Time bomb” perfectly captures Logan’s instability without taking the “poor misunderstood Logan” route of most vids. It is angst free and refreshingly makes no excuses for Logan. He is what he is.

Joan of Arcadia.
Vid Title: Big Red Boat
Author: Seah and Margie
Site: Seah and Margie’s Vids
Notes: I have yet to see a better Joan of Arcadia vid. This is a strange song but fits the show perfectly. Great style!

Announcements.
First off, I’d like to thank Jonathan for his wonderful Scrubs vid. This is our first Scrubs rec, and from watching the vid, it looks like a really fun show! Great job, and thanks also for the rec!
Charmax has gifted us with not one, not two, but NINE new recs. The great vids can be found on the Firefly, Veronica Mars, Xena, all new Hercules, and all new Joan of Arcadia pages. I’m sure you’ll be blown away by each of these vids and if you aren’t familiar with the fandoms, what better way to learn?!?
