Notes: This is the best Elizabeth video I’ve ever seen.

Great scene choices and the song is perfect.

This is one of those where I really just don’t know what to say it’s so good!

Vid Title: Sibling Rivalry

Author: Brihana25

Site: The Alpha Site

Notes: Sam & Teal’c are jealous of Daniel and try to get rid of him… This is one of the funniest vids I’ve ever seen and mocks all the seriousness of SG-1 and the team relationships. The music is great once again and the editing is so wonderful, you get the feeling that the song is made for this vid only.

Vid Title: Home

Author: Rae

Site: Eternal Devotion

Notes: This is one of my favourite SG-1 vids - it’s about Daniel and the losses he suffered. Actually it’s pretty dark and disturbing, but it’s also very beautiful and moving. The music and lyrics are perfect for this vid and the story it tells. It’s worth to watch even if you don’t know the show or its characters!

Vid Title: Vogue

Site: Nibikko’s Music Vids

Notes: A look at some stargate prettyness; cool and lighthearted; not focused on any specific character or episode. The editing is great and matches the song perfectly.

Vid Title: Dreams

Author: newkidfan

Site: Colordrop

Notes: This vid is unlike any other vid you have seen. It is not only made from Stargate Atlantis footage but stuff borrowed from all over, with text to create a sort of story. It is Mckay/Shepard. Definitely a boundary pusher on what a fan vid can be. It is visually stunning and I recommend it highly enough.

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: Wisemen

Author:OBFreak

Site: OBFreak Vids

Notes: This wonderful video is Rodney, John and Carson vid. Seemless editing and use of clips fit perfectly with the song lyrics… In fact all obfreak’s vids are amazing but this one really stands out with me. One of my favourite SGA vids!!

Vid Title: 24

Author: Shayz

Site: Shayz’ Vid

Notes: I have to admit I’m not a big fan of vids that feature a heavy load of effects, but thank god there’s always an exception to every rule! This video by Shayz wouldn’t even have half of its appeal if it was just your average ‘cut/drag’ kind of vid! She really explored the concept of Weir’s time travel during “Before I Sleep”, turning it into this awsome fast-paced, psychodelic, intergalactic voyage! Blink and you WILL miss it…

Vid Title: End Of The World –SG-1/SGA Crossover

Author: Ana

Site: Perfect Harmony

Notes: I feel weird rec-ing a song from a website I’m part of, but I just couldn’t help it. Having followed Ana’s journey as a vidder, I can’t state enough how much of a fan of hers that I’ve become now. This video merges both the Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis shows so perfectly together that it’s not even funny. She actually turned them into one big show, both in terms of action and emotion. Actually, I’m not really sure what to say here, I suppose it’s just one of those things you have to see to understand them.

Notes: Hot on the heels of our first McShep vid comes this rec from Ana. This is a fun, high-energy, flawlessly edited vid of John and Rodney being John and Rodney! It makes me so giddy to watch this vid and it will be my #1 pick-me-up vid for quite awhile!

Notes: I’ve only just become a SGA fan… and I must admit that the main reason I started watching it was because of all the great videos people were making out of it. MM is one of the main responsibles for that, of course, and so is this vid. This is just so great and PERFECTLY fit with the song… plus, I adore Sheppard and McKay’s friendship. I just can’t stop watching this…

Author: Rocketchick

Site: Rocketchick’s Homepage

Notes: This vid is short, but full of more action, fun, and Teal’c goodness than anything I’ve ever seen. It’s lighthearted without crossing over into campiness and every time I watch it, I smile a little more.

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!.

Vid Title: We Want Your Soul

Author: Martouf Marty

Site: Martouf Marty’s Webpage

Notes: First thoughts? WOW! This vid is a fan’s jackpot of reference. The song is just wild and the vid keeps up with the beat and even pushes it further. The “literal” clips are perfect and the lyrics that don’t translate *exactly* are even MORE clever. “Here’s Milkshake” will forever have me chuckling at reruns of that ep. This vid blows my mind everytime I watch it (which is OFTEN) and I can’t praise it enough.

Notes: No, I am not just recommending this vid because it’s my sister’s. It’s just a great vid. A great song. She did a great job with match the clips with the lyrics, the beats, and a great use of effects. Everything works perfectly and I just can’t stop watching it.
