Supernatural.
Vid Title: Carol of the Supernatural
Author: Dragonfly
Site: Ancient Obsessions
Notes: This is an action filled vid that highlights some of the show’s best and intense moments. The pace, editing and clip selection are superb and match the intensity changes in the music.
It was watching this video that made me want to give the show a chance.

Announcements.
Due to the fact that nearly every vid submitted to this site is excellent, I am finding that my limited vocabulary is making these front page announcements seem redundant. In the future (well, present too, I suppose), I’ll do a very brief note on the Announcements page to list all new recommendations. It would be superb if others would like to add anything to the recs, however.
Clarice recommended Sassy Kitten’s Buffy vid, Red Red Red, which is ironically, very red. There’s a LOT going on in this one, so be ready to pay attention.
Clarice also sent in a rec for Lady Manson’s Kill Bill vid, “Here Comes The Bride”. I was struck by three things in watching this vid: the editing is awesome, the movie looks very cheeky, there must have been a ton of gore material used in filming the movie. In the end, it’s strictly Lady Manson’s spin on this vid that hooked me.
I’m the loser who never saw Labyrinth and pretty much goofed on the rec. It seems that the film really did have Bowie in love with a 15-year old. Heh. Imagine that getting into the theatres today. Nevertheless, Yue’s Woman (e_chan_21) took a benign, overused song and made a really quirky fantasy vid that I’ve been watching over and over. I love how the POV changes and is actually something the viewer can pick up on.
Nibbiko (recently rec’d here, yay!) sent in two recommended vids. Rae’s vid “Girl Anachronism” is a rollicking Firefly/Serenity vid that shows <s>a lot of a crazy girl</s> River’s many quirky moments.
Dragonfly’s Supernatural vid, “Carol of the Supernatural” is fantastic use of instrumental music (Christmas, at that!) to show the dark side of the brothers’ lives. I don’t watch SN, but I can see that I may need to start. Great job and great flow with the editing.
This brings us up to date. I’ll be sure to add the announcement as soon as the vids are added now that the pressure of adding my two cents is lifted.

Sin City.
Vid Title: Resurrection
Author: Sassy Kitten
Site: Sassy Kitten Vids
Notes: “Resurrection” Music By: Moist, About: Sin City, Vidder: Sassy Kitten. I don’t even like Sin City, and I loved this music video! Visually stunning with one of my favourite songs of all time, Resurrection is a video you do not want to miss!

Wonderfalls.
Vid Title:Criminal
Author: Sassy Kitten
Site: Sassy Kitten Vids
Notes: Music Video: “Criminal” Music By Fiona Apple, Video for Wonderfalls, Vidder: Sassy Kitten. Once again, the editing is awsome and such a sweet little ode to Jayes feelings towards Eric…there’s a better explanation on the site.

Wonderfalls.
Vid Title:So Jealous
Author: Sassy Kitten
Site: Sassy Kitten Vids
Notes: Music Video: “So Jelous” Music By Tegan and Sarah, Video for Wonderfalls, Vidder: Sassy Kitten. I loved the very wrongly cancelled Wonderfalls, and thought this was an absolutely adorable music vid that fit its content so thouroughly. The editing is superb, and definetly some of the best (if not the best) I’ve seen yet.

There’s a LOT of Sassy Kitten love these days! In addition to the recent rec for “Red Red Red”, Brooke (welcome!) sent in three more recs!
Wonderfalls vids aren’t that common, but Sassy Kitten’s vids “So Jealous” and “Criminal” are excellent representations of the show. Check out both of them right away!
Brooke also recommended Sassy Kitten’s Sin City vid, “Resurrection” which is a highly stylized vid of a highly stylized movie. Be ready to look closely while you get caught up in the awesome editing!
Thanks, Brooke for three great recs, and thanks to Sassy Kitten for vidding excellence yet again!

Constantine.
Vid Title: Wings of Steel
Author: Alter Idem
Site: Alter Idem Videos
Notes: ‘when you cross over… time stops’ - a wonderful, spooky and very fast paced vid for the movie ‘constatine’. It’s set to the music of collide’s ‘wings of steel’ and the lyrics match perfectly; the vid is so full of movement, plot and fast transitions it’s worth watching more than once.
