I was watching some Clex vids yesterday and at once point I was like, "oh, yeah, it's that same scene of Lex and Clark kissing that everyone uses, again." Then I stopped myself and thought, no, wait, it's Lex and Desiree. It's just that everyone does use that clip in everything to be Lex and Clark (and thank you, Smallville, for giving Lex such a consistent type, and using such a nice angle and close-up in that shot). And it's like, if you're making a Clex vid, and you want to indicate Lex and Clark kissing, bam, use that clip after a scene of them staring at each other or hugging, and problem solved.

Except maybe that easy solution has cut down on some creativity?

Because I then remembered a Wincest vid that came out pretty early in the fandom, and I no longer remember what it was called or who it was by, but you know the one. With the kissing vid manip of Sam and Dean, footage of Sam kissing someone and Dean kissing someone melded together so it's them kissing each other.

And I can't think of any Clex vid manips like that. There are loads of image manips that do the same thing, but any vid ones? (Of course now I have the feeling someone is going to point to one, and I'll be like, duh, I've watched that vid a million times, how could I forget it.) But if there aren't, anyone wanna take a crack at it?
