Some festivids recs

s&s - silver
So festivids went live yesterday and if you like fanvids at all, you might want to take a look at the Masterlist, because there are over 190 vids in tiny fandoms there and marvellous they all are, too. If you don't already know, it's like the Yuletide for vids.

This year, I went, looked, thought I didn't know almost any of the sources, and then of course, kept finding all these things I did and it's wonderful, and, as ever, I'm in awe of all the vidders. So here are a handful of recs from my scratched bit of the surface:

Somewhere A Clock Is Ticking (The Hollow Crown) Just amazing, really. If you only watch one (but why? why would you only watch one???), make it this one.

Beauty in the Breakdown (Amelie) So pretty and right.

Step Into Your Place (Blackadder Goes Forth) Really well done anyway, but it's the clever use of contemporary posters etc. that make it something special.

Just A Girl (Hogfather) I've still never seen this, this vid makes me think I really should. (Michelle Dockery, anyway.)

Glad You Came (Downton Abbey) Joyful DA and sort of all the reasons I keep happily watching, no matter what's happened.

Devils (BBC Gormenghast) Beautifully creepy and fitting.

And in the category of me flailing because I can't believe somebody vidded X, I give you Do What You Feel for Desperately Seeking Susan. (When we were teenagers, my sister and I had this recorded off the TV and watched it at least twenty times. Don't judge me, it was a thing. :lol:)

And lots, lots more.

Thanks for the heads up. Some good ones this year (and every year). A very nice "Dark Skies" one, and a nicely pro-shark one for "Jaws". There's some talented people out there.

Always amuses me how every year without fail there's a "Newsies" one! One of the first things I noticed about the internet, two billion years ago, was the profusion of "Newsies" fans. What is it about that film?!

:lol: I don't even know anything about Newsies!

Anyway, yes, Festivids is always impressive.

Drat, the Blackadder vid is password protected, Are many of the others also blocked?

The password's on the post, don't worry. :-) (Lots of Vimeo vids are technically private but realistically not in that way.)

(I just looked again - massingbird, it's just above the embed.)

Oh, duh, thanks for pointing that out. I didn't read it closely enough!
