Fascination (Billy Elliot) - CharmaxI may be biased because it's my favourite movie, but I love this video. Every time I watch I want to get up and dance, and whenever I hear the song I automatically picture scenes from the video before my inner eye

mmmhm, i love recs. and reccing. a pretty old vid, that is still in my top five: must be dreaming (yt link, because i couldn't find it anywhere else) by corn child. it's a firefly/serenity vid about river. i found it after i'd only just started vidding myself & it pretty much changed my whole view on it. it made me realize that a vid can be as much a piece of art as anything else. and that a vid can make me have shivers down my spine every single time i watch it ... that fighting/dancing scene is still one of my favorite things ever!

tearfuleye - ZOMG! Corn_Child was so my vidding... "idol" isn't quite the right word, I think maybe the best word is "forefather" (or mother, as the case may be). I kind of consider my vidding style to be a direct descendent of hers. Random anecdote - I remember when she was making Must Be Dreaming and asked if anyone knew how to mask in Premiere and I pointed her towards Sassy Kitten's tutorial on how to mask in Premiere 6.5 and that was how Corn-Child learned to do it for the vid. I earned my place in vidding history. ;D

Lim never stops being brilliant, does she? Living Dead Girl by Bradcpu. BtVS/AtS Faith character. Never not amazing. I just love how it works on SO MANY levels, as a character journey, as a relationship journey, the symbolism, the horror movie motifs, the musicality... Just a joy forever.

My biggest formative vid was hollywoodgrrl's Boulevard of Broken Songs, a Doctor Who S1 - S3 vid that just blew me away when I first saw it, and I still love it.

I'm the world's hugest fan of HWG, although I have to say I'm not terribly enamoured of Boulevard, because the use of jump cuts and transitions tend to pull me out of the vid. I'm much, much more keen on some of her later work though, like Marble House, Seven (with Ohvienna), and Deeper and Deeper to name only a few.

I really like Session (State of Play) by rhoboat. Aside from the unusual choice of music it's also very cleverly edited, since the vid makes it look like there's a lot more of running and chasing in the series than there actually is. I thought that both that editing and the music helped to build the suspense nicely.

legoline - I remember Session was one of the premieres at Vividcon this year that really popped for me. I know nothing about the source, but as you said, that sense of direction and purpose really came through for me..
Killa - wow, the way that's put together is really amazing. I'm particularly taken with the intro, the way the footwork expresses the music... it's exquisite. I'm almost inclined to say that sense of musicality is even more nuanced than an actual dancer dancing to music. It's interesting; when I see live dance, it's obviously about energy and direction and lots besides and a lot more than just looking exactly like the music, so a lot of the time vids of people dancing can be much more musically-attuned than even people dancing to music itself. I can see how that could be the case, but it's an interesting thought, all the same.

I 'grew up' so to speak on vids from Here's Luck, obsessive24, Sisabet, and Eunice. I recommend anything and everything by them, in particular Superstar by Here's Luck, and Closer by Sisabet. As for modern.. youtu.be/gzoLSOkxjzcThere is something about this video (and this vidder, wow), that I love so, so much. And I've never seen Torchwood. Also check out her Tenth Doctor Musical for some hilariousness.
