Vid Title: Crawling
Author: JennCho
Site: JennCho Productions
Notes: If I had to point out the best Prison Break video out there, it would doubtessly be this one. JennCho made a great job not only in editing, but succeeding in showing us the total angst and wrongness of this suffocating story. We can see bad guys suffering, too! And the awesome version of this song, feat. Aaron Lewis, is perfectly angst and rough itself. I stongly recommend this video..you’ll like it! –I second that last part, and I love the use of sound clips from the show–Jenn

It has come to my attention that I didn’t include an introduction to obsessive24’s rec of aycheb’s vid “Perfect Day” and for that, I am truly sorry. I fell waaay out of love with Willow in Season 6 of BtVS, but this vid really reminds me that her motives were based in love and pain. The vid is excellent and the vidder has made me want to watch my DVDs again for the first time in a while. Great job!
A brand new rec from ChemistrySet (fist time rec’er…YAY!) came in today. JennCho’s Prison Break vid “Crawling” is a powerful angsty look at the characters- all the characters- from the show and really drives home the misery of their lives. The vid is skillfully edited and strikes a nice balance between show and song. Even if you’ve never seen Prison Break, this vid is a keeper.
Thanks again to obsessive24 and our newest member of the family, ChemistrySet!
Vid Title: Back To The Start

Notes: “Back To The Start” is the DEFINITIVE Dr Who vid. It is beautifully crafted, emotional and leaves you with chills. There really is no better Who vid out there at the moment. I would put my money on it. 5+ stars. Excellent, excellent vid.

Vid Title: The Ancients (SG-1/ SGA crossover)
Author: PG15
Site: Peter (PG15) Gao’s Music Videos
Notes: This is an amazing video, a complete story-telling of the Ancient race. Not only does the video flow so naturally, the clips were very well chosen and edited together to fit with all the moods the music created. There are loads of subtle clever editing. The video leaves you smiling with that warm and tingly feeling… maybe a little teary-eyed! It’s had great reviews over on the Kawoosh! forum.

Vid Title: Brother, Let Go
Author: Di
Site: Perfect Harmony
Notes: This vid has been in my favorites for awhile now. All the love and struggle of the brothers is brought to the most beautifully edited ending I’ve ever seen. The song choice is genius and Di has captured the innocent spirit of the film in a way that highlights love and redemption perfectly.

The gigantically talented Mr. Anderson’s Doctor Who vid, “Back to the Start” was submitted by the equally gigantically talented Charmax. It took me awhile to be able to do an introduction to this vid because in many ways, it’s exactly how I see the show in my dreams. The vid lovingly portrays The Ninth Doctor, Rose, and The Tenth Doctor in full circle. It’s no secret that I harbor great love for Nine, and this vid plays out like a dreamy wish of mine. Stunning!
Gater, of the unbelievably huge site Kawoosh! submitted “The Ancients” by PG15. This Stargate vid manages to integrate scenes from SG-1 and SGA highlighting everything we know about The Ancients. The vid is set to a moving instrumental/choir piece, making this a moving and powerful look at the race. The scene of The Ancients leaving Atlantis is one of my favorite vid scenes ever.
I added another fandom which I shortened to “Narnia” because “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe” wouldn’t fit in the sidebar ;) Additionally, I hope to receive recs from the subsequent movies. Narnia was added to highlight Di’s vid, “Brother, Let Go”. I’ve been meaning to rec this one long before now, and could have sworn I had already done so. Oops! If you haven’t already seen it, be sure to check it out. The vid is energetic and emotional, and chances are, you’ll be crying at the end. It’s just a really great production!
Thanks again to the contributors, Charmax and Gater, and to the excellent vidders, Mr. Anderson, PG15, and Di!
