Misc. Recs
by Jenn on Aug.26, 2005, under -Misc Recs
Vid Title: Wings of Steel
Author: Kristin
Site: Blood Ties
Notes: I first watched this vid last summer and said, “Wow, this wasn’t made by an amateur!” I’ve never seen Underworld, but this vid is my all time favorite.
Vid Title: Relax
Author: Martouf Marty
Site: Martouf Marty’s Webpage
Notes: I owe a huge part of my fandom love to MM. This vid is a perfect example of what’s so great about Stargate: Atlantis. Full of energy and great editing, this will make you do anything but “Relax”!
Vid Title: Smooth Criminal
Author: Di
Site: Return to Innocence
Notes: The link for this one takes you to Di’s LJ where you will find the vid. This is one of the best edited vids I’ve ever seen. Every “shot” wows you and you get completely wrapped up in the action, the beat, and the drama.
Vid Title: In The Shadows
Author: Charmax
Site: Bronze Ambition
Notes: This is an amazing Equilibrium vid. The song, the editing, the cross-body shooting…all wonderful. I’ve looped this vid many times since first seeing it.
Vid Title: Kryptonite
Author: Pooh
Site: PoopyPooh Vids
Notes: I love Major John Sheppard, and it’s clear that Pooh does too. This is a quirky action vid that instantly became a favorite.
Vid Title: Captain Jack
Author: Elena
Site: Music and Movies
Notes: Captain Jack Sparrow has never looked so clever. Great song selection and full of fun!
Vid Title: No Bravery
Author: Charmax
Site: Bronze Ambition
Notes: This vid captures the emotion and true intent of the story. The movie couldn’t quite “get it”, but this sad, thoughtful vid is magnificent. It’s easy to overlook the perfect editing if you’re not careful because the mood is so rich and plays so well. By far the best Troy vid out there.
Vid Title: Lonely Dreams
Author: Di
Site: Return to Innocence
Notes: The link for this one takes you to Di’s LJ where you will find the vid. I never watched Farscape. I’ve seen quite a few vids from the fandom that were well done, but this one made me actually want to see the show. For the first time, a vid from a fandom I’m not a part of made me feel like I missed out on something. The song is wonderful and the editing/pacing are perfect–a wonderful tribute to John and Aeryn.
LOST Recs
by Jenn on Aug.26, 2005, under -LOST Recs
Vid Title: They
Author: Meghan
Site: kinnetiksunshine.net/
Notes: The link for this one takes you to Meghan’s LJ where you will find the vid. This is the best LOST vid I’ve ever seen. The song is intriguing, the editing is great, the cast…well, they never looked so good. Excellent vid!
Vid Title: How You Remind Me
Author: Barbi
Site: DreamVision
Notes: One of the best song/subject matches I’ve seen. Sawyer’s charm (not to mention good looks) are on proud display.
Vid Title: Right In Front Of Me
Author: Ana
Site: Return to Innocence
Notes: The link for this one takes you to Ana’s LJ where you will find the vid. This vid uses what could have been a cringeworthy song in the hands of a less-dedicated vidder. Ana’s complete adoration of Charlie/Claire makes this vid work!
Vid Title: One Side
Author: Ana
Site: Return to Innocence
Notes: The link for this one takes you to Ana’s LJ where you will find the vid. A true emotional ensemble vid. Captivating, hypnotic song with perfect editing. A LOST masterpiece!
Vid Title: Not Goodbye
Author: Ana
Site: Return to Innocence
Notes: The link for this one takes you to Ana’s LJ where you will find the vid. If it seems I’m rec’ing Ana’s vids a lot, it’s because they’re SO GOOD. This is an AU Jack/Kate vid that’s as good as any sad, reminiscent chapter of any movie or show I’ve ever seen. Check out the editing and the emotion and just try not to be moved. *sniff*
Vid Title: Learn to Fly
Author: Di
Site: Return to Innocence
Notes: The link for this one takes you to Di’s LJ where you will find the vid. This vid is perfect synergy. The song, the editing, the adrenaline, the fullness. Back in the day, we would have called this a “rip-roarin’ good time”. Having been lucky enough to see the beta version of the vid, I could barely wait long enough for the finished product. See it now!
Vid Title: My Hero
Author: Di
Site: Return to Innocence
Notes: The link for this one takes you to Di’s LJ where you will find the vid. If it seems like I’m fangirl-ing Di, it’s because I am. It’s almost impossible to not rec every creation she comes up with. This Jack Vid is so perfectly edited that it’s scary. The song is full of energy and the vid makes it even MORE energetic. This is a must see for any Jack fan, and well, anyone who wants to see an action vid made perfectly. Seriously.
HP Recs
by Jenn on Aug.26, 2005, under -HP Recs
Vid Title: Mad World
Author: Di
Site: Return to Innocence
Notes: This remains the ultimate Harry Potter Vid for me. The song, the editing, the mood–all perfect. I bawled for days after watching this.
Vid Title: Clocks
Author: Di
Site: Return to Innocence
Notes: Di describes it as “POA in 5 Minutes” but it’s even more impressive than that. The editing is spot-on, quick, and clever. It’s clear she knows the movie inside and out.
Vid Title: Killer in Me
Author: Lenna
Site: Return to Innocence
Notes: Perfect song about Harry and Tom. Music is by Smashing Pumpkins and the feel of the vid is dark and dramatic. You will get chills watching this vid.
Vid Title: Please, Please, Please
Author: Marie
Site: Wild Swan’s Pond
Notes: It’s impossible not to feel for Harry after watching this vid. The editiing is sweeping and grand while the music inspires a mix of longing, pain, and hope.
Vid Title: Dust In The Wind
Author: Ana
Notes: Another Harry Potter vid, but unlike the rest. For us older fans, this song alone can be very moving. Ana did a GREAT job using it for this vid and this is only one of the many vids this new vidder has created that I adore.
Vid Title: Mr. Brightside
Author: Linda
Site: Magic Three TV Station
Notes: Harry, Ron, Hermione vid. Full of energy, fun, shippiness, great editing, perfect use of “speed up” clips. The clip used at 2:27 is the best use of any one clip EVER!
LOTR Recs
by Jenn on Aug.26, 2005, under -LOTR recs
Vid Title: Duel of the Istari
Author: Muse
Site: There And Back Again
Notes: I first saw this wonderful vid when it was an entry in the Magical3 TV Awards. Aside from it being an entertaining vid, it meshes two of my major fandoms in a subtle and very skillful way. Sometimes it’s difficult to vid an instrumental, but you’d never know it watching this epic piece!
Vid Title: #1 Crush
Author: Melissa
Site: Euphonies
Notes: I might be a little biased, but this edgy Aragorn/Boromir vid is moody, dark, and excellent. Slash fan or not, a must see.
Vid Title: Return to Me
Author: Ashinae
Site: Drawn to the Rhythm
Notes: The vid that started it all. This was one of the first fanvids I ever watched and it completely captivated me. Pure emotion and heartfelt longing are created perfectly.
Vid Title: If You Could Only See
Author: Melissa
Site: Euphonies
Notes: Melissa is the Queen of AU Faramir/Eowyn vids. This vid is so well edited that it’s hard to imagine it didn’t really happen this way.
Vid Title: ROTKDream
Author: Frozen Tears
Site: Frozen Tears Video Productions
Notes: This vid is amazing. It’s trailer-style, dreamlike, powerful, and gorgeous. Perfect use of the music and clips.
Vid Title: The Addams Family
Author: ViDawn
Site: VidDawn’s Video Productions
Notes: This vid was made for the very first SYQ Challenge. I fell in love with it the very first time I saw it and have watched it countless times over the last year and a half. Looking for a humorous, well-edited vid? This is it!
Vid Title: Can’t Change Me
Author: Ben
Site: BenVids
Notes: A perfect character vid about Galadriel. This was Ben’s first full-length vid and we were still figuring out WMM. If watched at 50%, this vid is damn near flawless. The sync between lyrics and clips is astonishing. This is truly a one-of-a-kind vid.
Vid Title: I Will Find You
Author: Shazzer
Site: …know from dreams
Notes: Another great AU vid. I appreciate the canonical relationship of Eowyn and Faramir, but I wouldn’t it a ship of mine. This vid, however, may well change that. The song itself is a loving and romantic song, but the vid follows it in almost a trance-like way. The AU storyline is played out so well that it’s impossible to not want these two to find each other. This is just a truly beautiful vid.
ZeroMuch.Recs

My Recs pages are based on Marie’s Top 10 idea. I think it’s a great way for us to spread the word about some great vids that we adore and want everyone to see.. These are the vids that I recommend often and enthusiastically. Each of the vidders is very talented and offers many great selections. These are the vids, however, that I can’t stop watching……JennMiller
I also recommend using BSplayer to watch all media. All ZeroMuch vids, as well as all vids, look better with this player. I haven’t used Windows Media or WinAmp since switching. Crystal Player doesn’t even match the picture depth and clarity. It’s a free program (there’s a “Pro” version for sale, but the free is just as good, IMHO) and you can even take screenshots of any media with the player! Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed. As a bonus, there are plenty of skins available, also FREE!
