I finally finished the Harry Potter vid I’ve been working on. While this isn’t a quick edited vid, I’m pleased with it. This song is used in the trailer for the movie Everything is Illuminated and it’s just a hauntingly gorgeous song that eerily fits the Harry Potter fandom. I wanted this vid to be both moody and whimsical, just as Harry’s life has been. I limited the clips of Dumbledore to the first two HP movies, so if it’s a little light on DD, that’s why.

You can find “How It Ends” on the HP Vids Page.

While I haven’t won any awards lately, I’m very happy to say that Round One of the Magical 3 TV Station Awards has just ended. Linda did a GREAT job setting up and running the site. There were many awards given, and I know a few of the vids were *thisclose* to being awarded. I encourage all vidders to nominate for Round Two. There have been a few rule changes, so be sure to check those out–and check out the great new layout, too!

I’ve expanded the ZeroMuch Recs section. Truth is, I was loving too many vids to keep using just one page. I’ve divided the recs among fandom source and I hope you’ll check out each one of the recs. Oh, if you do, please leave the vidder feedback on the vid, I’m sure it will mean a lot to them!

While adding the new design, I also added three new LOST recs, all by Ana. The first is a sappy sweet C/C vid, one is a wonderful ensemble vid, and the other is a haunting AU J/K vid. All are fabulous.

I added a new vid to the Misc. Movie Vids page. “Kung Fu Overture” is a completely pointless vid that just kind of made me chuckle. If you’ve got a spare 5 minutes, give it a look

Late, as usual, but new rec added today! “Relax” is one of the best Stargate: Atlantis vids I’ve seen. The pacing is awesome and the editing is tight. Every character is given a chance to show off and it works perfectly. Check it out…NOW!

I added a larger version of “Speed of Sound” today. I found a compression that I think renders excellent quality with relatively small file size. The larger version is twice the resolution of the original vid, but only 25.7MB in size. If anyone has a problem with it, please let me know. Thanks!

I just added a new LOTR vid. “Speed of Sound” is probably one of my best edited vids to date (at least *I* think so). I planned this one out for a very long time, and I hope you enjoy it. It covers the entire saga–in only 4:47!

Hey, Everyone! Check out this great new site. It’s an open awards site that stretches across all movie fandoms! It’s got a quirky HP theme and every vid that enters can win! It’s as stated, an AWARDS site– NOT a competition site. If you’re a new vidder or an old pro, enter some vids and let’s watch this take off. You can be there from the beginning!

I have a lot of people ask about MORE Star Wars vids. I have a couple of suggestions I think will help!

First off, SW_Fanvids is the best place to start. This is a LiveJournal community with many different vidders contributing great vids. I’m especially taken by Di’s vids and Adraefan’s vids. Di is always creates magic and her SW vids are no exception. If you like my vid for LOTR, Happening (or even if you don’t), Adraefan’s SW/Radiohead Series is awesome.

Exploring the Galaxy is a Star Wars Music Video Directory that just started up, but I can see it growing to include many vidders quickly.

Have fun watching the vids, and May The Force Be With You!

I don’t know where my mind was when I updated the ZeroMuch Recs page! I added another rec, this time by Charmax, who made a spectacular vid for Equilibrium. I admit that I only watched the Sean Bean parts of the movie, but now I’m thinking I’m going to have to watch the whole thing. This vid is full of action AND character development…not an easy feat! Check it out, and soon!
