Vid Title: English Summer Rain
Author: Martouf Marty
Site: Martouf Marty’s Webpage
Notes: I’ve only just become a SGA fan… and I must admit that the main reason I started watching it was because of all the great videos people were making out of it. MM is one of the main responsibles for that, of course, and so is this vid. This is just so great and PERFECTLY fit with the song… plus, I adore Sheppard and McKay’s friendship. I just can’t stop watching this…

Vid Title: Is It Any Wonder
Author: JennMiller
Site: ZeroMuch.com
Notes: Jenn told me about this vid of hers a few days ago and it’s been on constant looping ever since. I’ve never watched one second of Doctor Who, but this vid just made me love the show and the character as if I’d known them for a long time… Very clever in its editing and with a great song (I love Keane!), this vid is great fun for all vid lovers out there. –Di’s a bit too kind :)–Jenn

Vid Title: I Need A Hero
Author: Birgit
Site: Birgit’s Vids
Notes: This vid is just so funny! It was one of the very first Farscape music videos I ever watched. Even though I usually hate vids set to this song, this one is so funny and clever that it makes me even like the song. But the highlights here are definitely Crichton’s “heroic” moments… really funny! Gotta love the human!

The always wonderful Di has made three new recs for our viewing pleasure! “English Summer Rain” is one SGA vid that I’ve had in my favorites for a while now and I can tell you, Martouf Marty has made the most entertaining McShep vid I’ve ever seen. She always chooses fresh music and this is no exception. The vid is full of action AND relevance. Check it out!
“I Need A Hero” is a tongue-in-cheek look at, as Birgit said, “who the real hero is.” I’m just getting in to Farscape and I love this vid! It’s edited wonderfully and the whole vid is just fun and quick and clever. Check it out on the Farscape page!
The third vid is “Is It Any Wonder” by JennMiller (yours truly). This is a Ninth Doctor vid that pretty much summarizes his whole incarnation (as we saw it). I fell in love with the Keane song and thought of Doctor Who the first time I heard it. I hope you enjoy it, and it is now on the Doctor Who page. Thanks, Di!
Actually, thanks a TON, Di! I’ve really enjoyed these vids!
Vid Title: Touching You

Notes: “Touching You” This LOTR vid is one I still put on repeat often. The song really emphasizes Frodo’s struggle with the ring and the editing is spot on.

Vid Title: Judith
Author: AJ
Site: AJ’s Music Videos
Notes: AJ’s video is one of the first movie vids I ever watched, and still to this day the editing impresses me. I love how it shows how Spider-Man and the Green Goblin are very similar in their circumstances yet they choose vastly different paths to solve their problems.

Melissa from Euphonies.com fame has made a welcomed return the vidding world and provided a couple of terrific recs!
AJ’s vid “Judith” is a Spiderman vid that really shows the relationship between Spidey and Green Goblin. The editing is fast and tight and AJ really uses the film’s special effects perfectly in his own creation! See it on the Spiderman page today!
The first recs I ever made were LOTR vids and it is exhilarating when I receive LOTR recs. FrozenTears’ vid “Touching You” is just nearly the perfect vid. I don’t know how I missed this one myself. Frodo’s relationship with The One Ring is the theme of this dark, rich, wonderfully edited vid. There are moments in this vid that seriously made me gasp. Be sure to check it out on the LOTR page.
Thanks again to Melissa, AJ, and FrozenTears!
Vid Title: Drag
Author: Ana
Site: Perfect Harmony
Notes: Hot on the heels of our first McShep vid comes this rec from Ana. This is a fun, high-energy, flawlessly edited vid of John and Rodney being John and Rodney! It makes me so giddy to watch this vid and it will be my #1 pick-me-up vid for quite awhile!

Vid Title: The Boy Was A Puppet
Author: Fabella
Site: Fabella’s Vids
Notes: “The Boy Was a Puppet” by Fabella, Harry Potter character study. This is hands-down the best Harry Potter video I have ever seen. The use of metaphor, objects and movement is plain astounding, and the video delves deeply into its subject matter. An extremely insightful and sensitive look into the inherent tragedy in Harry Potter as a character.

Vid Title: Queer
Author: Fabella
Site: Fabella’s Vids
Notes: “Queer” by Fabella, The O.C., Ryan/Seth slash shipper, Ryan character. An intimate, low-key look at the Seth/Ryan dynamic in early season one, full of unassuming character insight and a gorgeous sense of longing. Definitely one of the best O.C. vids around, and a slash vid not to be missed.
