Notes: “Without You I’m Nothing” by Sisabet. Smallville, Clark/Lex. This is a breathtaking vid that seems deceptively simple at first glance, but quickly sucks you in with its incredible build-up of raw emotion.

Notes: “California” by Corn_Child. Veronica Mars, Beaver through Mac’s eyes. The emotion in this vid is astounding. With her signature use of motion, fades and beautiful timing, Corn_Child manages to create a chilling and heartbreaking journey in under three minutes.

House of Yes.
Vid Title: Hello Tomorrow
Author: Corn_Child
Site: Mellow Eccentric
Notes: “Hello Tomorrow” by Corn_Child. The House of Yes (movie), gen narrative. An intensely hypnotic vid with fabulous pace all through. Corn_Child has an unbelievably intuitive grasp of effects, and she excels at using external motion to highlight audio cues. This vid, one of her lesser-known ones because of the obscure source, is a stellar example of her amazing skills.

Battlestar Galactica.
Vid Title: Sex, Violence, and Cylons
Author: Martouf Marty
Site: Martouf Marty’s Webpage
Notes: “Sex, Violence, and Cylons” by Martouf Marty. Battlestar Galactica, humour/action. Awesome cutting and great clip-lyric associations. Martouf Marty is the master of comic irony, which is exemplified in this fast-paced vid.

Announcements.
I would like to extend a huge “Thank you!” to obsessive24. We have several new recs in many fandoms! First off, Corn_Child’s “Hello Tomorrow” is a House of Yes vid that is just oozing with style, swank, and cheeky naughtiness. Corn_Child’s VM vid “California” has also been recommended. It too has a distinctive editing style that creates a true viewing experience.
From sisabet, we have a wonderfully intense Smallville vid, “Without You I’m Nothing”. This is another example of a vid making me wish I’d watched the show all along. It’s angsty and so well edited…awesome!
Txlsplash’s Alias vid, “Save Yourself” and Martouf Marty’s Battlestar Galactica vid, “Sex, Violence, and Cylons” round out this group of recs. Since I’m having computer issues, I haven’t seen them yet, but once I do, I’ll be back
Thanks again to the wonderfully talented and generous obsessive24!
