marycrawfordI haven't seen most of the Vividcon vids yet, because I'm waiting for my copy of the DVDs to arrive (vids on the big screen are just so much better), but there are a couple that I had the privilege of seeing earlier. You should see 'em too.

flummery have posted their two VVC vids.
Jerusalem is a Battlestar Galactica vid that manages to be fast and thrilling but ALSO personal and deeply moving and ultimately exhilarating. I love this vid. The moment where the camera pulls back to 'All right!' is going to make me happy forever and ever. Spinny!Boomer will forever break my heart.
I hadn't seen any BSG when I watched it for the first time. (The second half offlummery is also responsible for dragging me into BSG. What a show. Wow.) And I got so much story from it that it staggered me - usually, with vids where I don't know the source, my impressions are so much vaguer. But these are the people who made the earth explode in their vid Haunted and made me care so much and sniffle for characters from another show I'd never seen, so why am I even surprised?
Also, they vidded Anouk. Woooo! (She's Dutch, OK? Bear with me.)
The other vid, Walking on the Ground, is Almost But Not Entirely Different. Not entirely in that it's also wonderful and works on several layers as once - different in that it's multi-fannish and very witty.
Plus, it has Hercules in it! (Again, just bear with me.) It's a double-edged vid about the history of fannish vidding and about people's reactions to technological progress. Which doesn't sound funny at all, does it, but believe me, it is. Go watch.
Last but not least,astolat posted A Day In The Life, which she made with cesperanza and which I have so far only seen on a little laptop screen in the half-dark, when it blew me away. I couldn't say anything about it at the time except 'Wow', or possibly 'Whoa'. It's a Dead Zone vid, another fandom I didn't know anything about, and while it is even more spectacular if you know a bit of the story (which she kindly explained *g*), it's stunning if you don't. Trust me.
