Cher has recommended a really great BtVS vid by here’s luck called “Atropine”. It’s a really sad vid that can make even the strongest Dark Willow hater sympathetic to her when reminded what started everything. I really missed Tara, too. A lot.
On a completely different note, David has recommended his vid “Brace Yourselves” from the UK show Bottom. While I wasn’t familiar with the show at all, the vid is just pure goof after goof and I found myself actually laughing aloud. If the show ever needed a promo, it’s safe to say that David had them covered.
I just added “Break Down” by Di to the Harry Potter page. Wow, just WOW! This GOF vid is just full of fun. Great editing, timing, and action!

Harry Potter.
Vid Title: Break Down
Author: Di
Site: Return to Innocence
Notes: The link takes you to Di’s LiveJournal where the vid can be found. Want to see GOF in a hard hitting, fully loaded THREE MINUTES? This is it! Di has once again managed to take an entire Harry Potter movie, set it to song, cover everything, and blow your mind. The editing is supurb and the zoooooms are fascinating!

Stargate.
Vid Title: Setting Sun
Author: Martouf Marty
Site: Martouf Marty’s Webpage
Notes: Setting Sun is the best action video that I have ever seen. It really hooks you in! It accurately depicts the action while still keeping it fast paced and fluid. Class ‘A’ editing, brilliant parallels and a really funky song. What more could you ask for? I recommend this vid to all action fans, Stargate Atlantis fans and, well, just about anyone!.

Farscape.
Vid Title: Always
Author: Di
Site: Farscape Fantasy
Notes: A gorgeous John/Aeryn video which really does require a tissue warning. Incredibly appropriate song which highlights the journey of John & Aeryn.

Sorry for the short delay in posting updates. I’ve quietly added a few recs that came in, but in the next day, I will be adding even MORE fandoms as well as an official update.  I need to thank Clara, Katie, and Fiona for sending in recs and I’ll be praising the vids and these ladies much more appropriately in just a bit.
Thanks!

Thirteen.
Vid Title: Lemon
Author: Aimee
Site: Aimee’s Sanctuary
Notes: Tracey’s life is turned upside down when she’s entranced by Evie Zamora, the most popular girl at her high school. Overcome by peer pressure, she turns to drugs and cutting just so that she can feel something. This video explores Tracey’s outlook on her life and how she feels there is no way out. The best (and only that I’ve found) Thirteen video out there.

Buffy/Angel.
Vid Title: Tourniquet
Author: Aimee
Site: Aimee’s Sanctuary
Notes: In Aimee’s “Tourniquet”, Buffy’s lust for Faith has made her lose her sense of reality, the line between what she fantasizes about Faith and what actually happened has blurred. The music video is an attempt to explore the chaos of Buffy’s mind. Perfect editing and original interpretation!

Tristan & Isolde.

Vid Title: Savin’ Me
Author: Barbi
Site: DreamVision
Notes: Barbi has a true talent for editing vids so seamlessly they feel ethereal. This vid is a perfect example of that. It’s hard to describe just how well this vid is edited because it seems so effortlessly put together, which of course, means it *wasn’t*. A must-see for anyone wanting to feel an epic romance.
