Firefly/Serenity.
Vid Title: Fly Away From Here
Author: Corn_Child
Site: Split Ends: Mellow Eccentric
Notes: I think I might actually enjoy this vid more than I did the series itself. It touches on all the characters and gives especial attention to the relationship of the crew as a family. Corn_Child perfectly captured the Cowboy spirit, that ‘get up and go’ in a great little piece of escapism.

General Hospital.
Vid Title: Twisted Angel
Author: Susanne
Site: Capture This
Notes: This is the vid that made me a Carly fan. It’s fun, sexy & the clips fit incredibly well with the lyrics. It shows off everything that Tamara’s Carly was about and just generally, rocks.

Memento.
Vid Title: The Passportal
Author: Frivolity
Site: Equilibrium Music Vids
Notes: This is our first self-rec’d vid, but I quickly seconded it. Though I haven’t seen the film source, this vid is smooth as smooth can be. The effects are great; present but not distracting, the storyline has plenty of action, and the vid is just fantastic. Frivolity made a moody action vid (yes, actualy pulled that off) and this vid is spectacular.

Over the last week or so, many new vids have been recommended here and I want to thank Clara from Pink-Martini.net and Frivolity from EQ Music Vids for bringing some wonderful vids to light. Thanks to them, we now have even MORE fandoms to enjoy. Check out the brand new General Hospital page for a kicky Carly vid from Susanne of Capture-This. The Stargate page has been updated to include a cute vid from Azar showing the relationship between SGA’s John and Elizabeth. New pages have been added for The Matrix and Memento, as well. Melissa’s Matrix vid has a surreal swirl to it captures the feeling of the film. Frivolity’s Memento vid is a “day in the life” vid–a very “messed up, confusing day in the life” if you ask me *g*, but the vid is great, full of skillfully added effects.
So what are you waiting for, go expand your horizons.

Farscape.
Vid Title: Cherry Lips
Author: Roksx
Site: Farscape Fantasy
Notes: This is one of my favorite Farscape character vids ever! And I’m not even a Chiana fan… Or at least I wasn’t until the later seasons. This vid surely helped me think differently about her, showing an incredible, endless collection of Chi clips matching perfectly with the song in every way, from beat to lyrics. Brilliant, brilliant work!

Smallville.
Vid Title: Ever After
Author: Becky
Site: Tired Eye
Notes: The video’s called Ever After and it was actually recommended to me by someone else. I thought it was excellent and decided to rec it myself. This intruiging Lex vid is just all kinds of creepy and powerful. This is just the kind of vid I’m so glad to have recommended!–Jenn
