sisabetYou've probably already seen this rec'd in a gazillion places. Good. I'm glad. If you haven't heard about it yet, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
linzeems has completed a Smallville vid called "Pet." It was good. The heavens rejoiced.
Well that is the short version of the story. The longer one is that this is a damned good vid, it is quite possibly the best summation of Lionel's influence on Lex I have ever seen and...dear god it is sick. Just - well the Lex/Lionel relationship is sick and twisted and Linzee capitalizes on that, ratcheting up the tension and relentlessly showing us a terrifying Lionel POV (ETA: oops - as experienced by Lex. Just watch the vid, you will see what I mean). Symbolic restraint and poisoning of tenderness, every touch is used to manipulate and Lionel is just so bad and wrong and yet - I cannot look away. The vid is cold and you can see her graphic artist background really shine in how she capitalizes on how this song *should* look. And the song! Perfect. It gave me chills, but interestingly enough, I didn't care for it without the vid. It didn't really speak to me. I love it now, and I love how she uses everything she has ever learned about vidding right here. This is her best work yet and I am really excited about this vid.
So while I think fans of Smallville, especially, will enjoy this (it's like FANFIC!) I also think this vid is worth a look from any serious fanvid um... fan. I for one, cannot wait to see this on a big screen. ::makes note to pester Linzee for mpg::
You can download it here: http://www.livejournal.com/users/linzeems/607707.html
Linzee is a developing vidder (actually we are all developing vidders) but she really cares about feedback and real crit if that is what someone has to give. I can attest that if you download this vid, she will want to know what you have to say about it, even if it isn't much or you are not comfortable with how to phrase it - believe me, she will welcome your thoughts.
