Notes: This is the first Gossip Girl music video I’ve seen and it’s fantastic!
A strong retelling of the pilot, Shoopdancer managed to cover all the good bits in a very short space of time to the perfect song.

Notes: “Big City Life” is dark and gritty, and everything you would expect from a Dark Angel video. The editing, timing and effects, is brilliant. After multiple viewings, I’m still finding new things to love about this vid!

Vid Title: Epica
Author: Katepevensie
Site: The Lion’s Mane Productions
Notes: “Epica” I have to remark upon the fact it appears Katepevensie only has Moviemaker and still makes a LEGENDARY (HIMYM) music video! Ps. (from a separate party, aka. the sibling) IT ROCKS MY CANADIAN SOCKS!!!

Vid Title: Sunday Bloody Sunday
Author: Katheryn
Site: Fascination Street
Notes: This fanvid is made around the song “Sunday, Bloody Sunday” from U2. Or maybe the song is just made for the portrayal Cylon war and the “Civil war like” conflicts within the last of humankind. Just as BSG itself the vid is fast paced, and spares us no details. The video is brutal, emotional and very honest.
