Vid meme

That top five 2008 vids meme (not counting the ones in the New York Magazine article
which started this off).

Top 5
Hera has six mommies by tallulah71 for cyborganize
The vid above all others that I wish I could have made (but know I couldn’t). The big BSG obsessions with sex and death and reproductive imperatives. The mobius strip network of relationships between the women. Hera running through the still centre. The perfect, perfect choice of song.

Not quite the actress by the_pug
As the drama unfolds you feel every beat as if you’re right there in it. And at the end you weep.

Papa Don’t Preach by fan_eunice and greensilver
It’s Torchwood. It’s more canon than canon.

Your Honor by kiki_miserychic
Vivid as a firecracker, jagged little pill. But I like the quiet.

Persona by shati
Conjures the Haitian from a mess of scraps and leavings, creating a living breathing man from the interstices of the source.

And because 5 doesn’t even begin to cover it
Never loved a man by fan_eunice
Vid to the mouth as Aretha climaxes and breaks. I can’t help thinking of this as the Doctor’s answer to charmax’s Don’t Stop Me Now.

Get Low by sisabet
If watched repeatedly familial resemblances to Women’s Work are very striking. Both the structure and occasional images (like the knife to the eye). Mostly, however. Guh.

Shut up and Drive by laurashapiro
Martha as she was always meant to be.

The Horror by dualbunny
Distills down the movie to the creeping claustrophobia of the book.

Starlight by buffyann
Every dance movie ever made in a microcosm. Like lightning in a bottle.


Somebody stop me now
One last link to the OTW videos about vidding that laurashapiro made.
