Festivid #2! In an incredibly unsubtle plot twist, the Iron Fist/Ward vid not for me was by me.

Title: Carry On
Fandom: Iron Fist
Artist: .fun
Content notes: visuals of drug/alcohol abuse, needles (briefly), violence
Summary: Ward Meachum and his terrible, horrible, no good, very bad life.

Festivid #1 - my actual assignment! This was why I was asking for fun, bouncy pop songs a little while back (I have gone back and unlocked that post; once I found my song, I locked it down to be sneaky). I'll put up another post in a little while on making this, because this show was my Big Thing when I was a teenager, and while I've rewatched episodes here and there over the last couple of decades, I hadn't actually sat down and watched this much of it since the 80s. It was a lot of fun.

Title: Workin' for a Livin'
Fandom: MacGyver
Artist: Huey Lewis & the News
Content notes: Contains scenes with flashing/flickering lights.
Summary: Someone give this man a vacation already.

I actually made this back at the end of October for Iron Fist Week on Tumblr, but I never crossposted it here!

One of the reasons, I think, why I latched onto Iron Fist as hard as I did is because of the heavy focus on sibling interactions, and in particular on what I can only describe as unrequited sibling-hood between (mostly) unrelated characters -- "I really want to be your sibling! Do you feel the same way? Will you let me?" You just don't get that in fictional relationships much. Basically it's a show that puts as much plot time and complicated feels into family and surrogate-family relationships as most shows do into romance. (And they're also explicitly described in the show as a family - an extremely conflicted family, but still a family, even though most of the members aren't each other's blood relatives.)

So I made a vid about it. Spoilers for both seasons.

Title: Brothers & Sisters (Big Bright World)
Fandom: Iron Fist
Spoilers/Seasons: highly spoilery for both seasons
Summary: Magnify the best inside me. A vid about the unrequited (and occasionally requited) sibling relationships of Iron Fist.

Some of you have already seen this because I posted it on AO3 a few weeks ago, but I just realized that I never posted it here, and I figured everyone could probably use a cheerful pick-me-up right about now.

Title: Say Geronimo
Artist: Sheppard
Fandom: Black Panther
Summary: A happy, bouncy Black Panther ensemble vid.

This is probably the most pain-in-the-ass vid to subtitle that I've ever tried to do. The lyrics consist largely of lines that are repeated around 5-7 times per chorus, and figuring out whether I was on the 5th or the 6th iteration of "say geronimo!" while constantly switching back and forth between VLC (where I can see the timed subtitles) and the text editor where I actually type in the timestamps was a goddawful hassle. It probably took me three times as long as doing the subtitles for one of my usual vids.

The response to it has been really great, though. Apparently there aren't a lot of BP vids out there. (I sure can't find many.)

Who's got a new ship? Oh yeah. Me.

Title: C'Mon
Artist: Panic! At the Disco (with fun.)
Fandom: Supergirl
Spoilers: for 3x10
Summary: May we stay lost on our way home. A 3x10 episode vid with a Kara/Querl slant. (Though it can also simply read as new friendship.)

And here's the other vid I made with cam footage this spring, now remastered with HD clips. As with the Holy vid, some of the clips have been replaced entirely, since the flow of the images is slightly different when you can actually see people's faces. (The main change from the original is the instrumental bridge scene, which now includes a number of different clips. The original can still be viewed here.)

Title: What You Wanted
Music: OneRepublic
Movies: Guardians of the Galaxy 1 & 2

This is one of the two GotG vids I made back in May/June, now remastered with HD footage! In addition to replacing all the clips with better-quality ones, I also swapped out a few of them and recut a couple parts of the vid, so it's a little different now than it was. (The old one is still on Youtube if you want to compare. Original DW entry here.)

Fandom: Guardians of the Galaxy 1&2
Song: Holy
Artist: Frightened Rabbit
Summary: He may have been your father, boy, but he wasn't your daddy. Parenthood, family, and divinity, by way of Peter Quill.

I wanted to make a video to showcase how pretty these movies are. I think one reason why I've been wallowing around in these movies lately (and in space-opera-type sci-fi, generally) is because it's such a lovely, hopeful feeling to imagine this wide galaxy full of wonder and beauty, filled with gorgeous, foreign places and alien people just living their lives, out there beyond the skies of Earth. So I wanted to make a vid about that, and also about the feels, of course.

Low-quality footage will be replaced with better when I have the Vol. 2 DVD.

EDIT 8-12-2017: If you came here via an old link, this vid has now been remastered with high-quality footage. View or download the new vid here!


So this was one of those vid ideas that takes hold and won't let go until it's made. Cam footage will be remastered in higher resolution when the DVDs are available.

Fandom: Guardians of the Galaxy 1&2
Song: Holy
Artist: Frightened Rabbit
Spoilers?: SO MANY. OH SO MANY.
Summary: Parenthood is about much more than DNA, and the broken places make us human. Focused on Peter and his various relationships with his family.

So, just to be confusing, there are two versions of this. Initially I made the vid in my usual style, with minimal edits to the clips, then decided to redo it with clip color edits and some f/x to have a more contemporary look. The f/x one is the main one available below, but I'm offering both in case you'd rather watch the more lightly edited version.

No f/x version: MP4 (zipped, 126 Mb) | Streaming on Youtube

Subtitles (unzip and put in directory with vid): regular version | no f/x version
(These are exactly the same except for the filename; it just needs to match the vid.)

Gideon vid! Well, a vid about Gideon and Rip. (Look, you try vidding a character who consists of a disembodied voice and a floating computer-animated head, whose body is a spaceship.) The latest episode left me drowning in a puddle of Gideon feels, so here are those feels in vid form.

Title: Hymn to Her
Artist: The Pretenders
Fandom: Legends of Tomorrow
Spoilers: to 2x13 (the latest episode)
Summary: She will always carry on. Gideon, the Waverider, and Rip Hunter: the story of a ship and her captain.

Summary: I had the time of my life, fighting dragons with you. Team vid.

If you haven't actually seen the show at all, I don't think it'll be that spoilery (I didn't include anything that's terribly and obviously spoilery out of context, I don't think).

And with this, my seventh AC vid, Agent Carter has passed SGA to become my most-vidded fandom. (Though honestly, White Collar probably would have been, if I hadn't been having technical issues during most of the time I was watching it that made vidding prohibitively difficult. I planned a lot of vids in the later seasons that I never actually made.)

Song: Try Everything
Artist: Shakira (from the Zootopia soundtrack)

This one has been in the works since last year. Right after the end of last season, I heard this song on the radio and thought, "Wow. That HAS to be a Peggy vid." The problem was that I couldn't figure out what to do with the third stanza. The Captain America movie and the first season of Agent Carter fit the first and second stanzas, but then there was all this extra song on the end. And then we got another season and everything clicked.

Title: Night Changes
Artist: One Direction
Fandom: Agent Carter
Footage: Seasons 1&2, plus movies
Summary: We're only getting older, baby. Peggy moving on with her life after Steve: finding the place where she belongs, and the people that she belongs with.

Note #1: I first encountered this song in a lovely Star Wars: The Force Awakens vid by such_heights. You should go watch it; it's great!

Note #2: You know how 90% of what I write is a riff on the exact same theme, finding home and family? This is basically that, in vid form.

Title: Shut Up and Dance

So, yes, this is the vid I made for Festivids - signed and downloadable versions are finally up! muccamukk suggested the ideal song, which made the whole thing click. I've had an idea in the back of my head of doing a found-family-themed vid for these movies for awhile, ever since I rewatched all the movies with my mom a few years ago, and this provided the perfect opportunity.

Title: Odds Are (We'll Be All Right)
Artist: Barenaked Ladies
Fandom: Lethal Weapon movies
Summary: Martin Riggs and the Murtaughs; or, how a miserable, suicidal hermit found a family. Also featuring lots of explosions, because Riggs. (Okay, they aren't ALL his fault.)

Here's the remastered version of my "hello season two!" music video. The old files will be deleted, so these are the ones to use now. Vastly improved video and audio! I also replaced a couple of repetitive or otherwise not-quite-what-I-wanted clips with new ones (and Leesa, there is a clip of your fave Bernard now!).

Song: There Will Never Be Another Tonight
Artist: Bryan Adams
Vidder: Sholio

My show is back! ... and here's a happy vid to celebrate. (Not exactly what I was planning on doing today, but, well ...) Footage from the first two episodes of season two; there are spoilers, obviously, but I've tried to avoid the really major ones, so there's not a whole lot in this vid that you couldn't already infer from previews and advance articles.

If you came here via an old link, there is now a remastered and MUCH nicer version of this video!

Go watch that one instead!
