I orginally fucked up the formatting on this but I do want to finish things I start (for now) so here is Part 2

2018 Vid In Review Part 1

Video #11 Posted This Year

Title: Digital Witness

Artist: St Vincent

Fandom: Twin Peaks: The Return

Category: It's a thing that exists in the world

Summary: So I stopped sleeping, yeah I stopped sleeping

https://archiveofourown.org/works/15718602

I was so floored by the entirety of The Return - I can't remember another show that has ever infuriated me and intrigued me and stuck with me and made me think so much. The idea to do the 4-screen was... I have no idea how it came to be a thing in my head - but by the time I started to make it I did know I had 4 major themes that interrelated and I would have to use the split screen. I thought about this video a lot while I was driving. I made this for the final Club Vivid.

Video #12

Title: I Know You

Made With: luminosity

Song: I Know You (Part III)

Artist: Morphine

Fandom: Hannibal; John Wick

Category: Self Portrait

Summary: What happens when two vidders share a brain.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/15709767

I don’t make self portraits by myself - possibly if I navel-gaze this has something to do with not trusting myself to be honest blah blah blah - ANYWAY the idea behind this video is... um. Let me backtrack: Lum and I often joke about sharing the brane and only one of us can use it at any given time. So for this video, we each picked a source that represented the other person. We didn’t influence each other’s choices as to the source or talk about it much at all. I was to take my source and make a Luminosity Vid with it and she was to do the same with her source but to vid it as me. We passed the timeline back and forth and it was crazy. We had a conversation on the timeline and it was such a wonderful experience - we didn’t plan anything out and we didn’t discuss anything verbally, we just laid down some clips and passed it off and waited to see if the other person picked up what we put down and it was honestly creatively exciting but never ever difficult.

Video #13

Title: Come On Eileen

Artist: Dexys Midnight Runners

Fandom: Game of Thrones

Category: Thirst Study

Summary: Now you're full grown

https://archiveofourown.org/works/15725388

absolutedestiny realized fairly quickly that if he said "such and such song is about such and such" that I'd have a full draft... maybe a week later? So that happened and he sent me some feedback on the draft that basically said that Jon's Hot Dead Guy Makeover needed to happen on the bridge and he was correct and now this video exists.

Video #14

Title: My Prerogative

Made With: elipie

Artist: Bobby Brown

Fandom: American Vandal

Category: Dick Investigation; Dylan Character Study

Summary: "I didn't do the dicks"

https://archiveofourown.org/works/15729405

Yeah, so this was the result of Ian saying “'My Prerogative' is about American Vandal” knowing full well that I love Bobby Brown and would not be able to just walk away from an essential truth such as this. Poor elipie got dragged into this and then was subjected to waaaaay more conversations about baby farting than any two reasonable adults should have.

Video #15

Title: She Wolf
Made With: ghosttownexit

Artist: Shakira

Fandom: Riverdale

Category: Cheryl Blossom is Supreme; Cheryl/Toni; Cheryl/Veronica; Cheryl/Betty; Betty/Veronica; Cheryl/Candelabra

Summary: coming out, coming out, coming out

https://archiveofourown.org/works/15737256

Watching Riverdale was revelatory. GTE and I agree on key aspects and let us show you what is important about this show.

Have you heard the good news about Cheryl Blossom?

Video #16

Title: Pony
Made With: ghosttownexit

Artist: Genuwine

Fandom: Westworld

Category: AI Development

Summary: Kill All Humans

https://archiveofourown.org/works/15737499

GTE came up with this idea one night (pretty sure a lot of bourbon was involved) and oops - he told me. Now we have this video. Please heed the warnings.

Video #17

Title: Heroes

Artist: David Bowie

Fandom: Bates Motel

Category: Norman Bates Character Study

Summary: just for one day

https://archiveofourown.org/works/15748500

I wanted to work on escalation with this video. I picked this song and version because the vocals become more and more frantic and desperate, so besides being extremely lyrically compatible, it was tonally right. It felt right. I still need to work on my pacing skills but I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out AND this video was my first copyright strike on youtube. So that was fun (don't post Bates Motel source on youtube).

This was also a vividprompts vid and I chose Jayne L’s prompt and I’m certain I didn’t do it justice but thanks so much for the idea!

Thus Endeth the Vividcon Vids

Video #18

Title: Night Still Comes

Artist: Neko Case

Fandom: The Leftovers

Category: dual character study of Nora and Erika

Summary: Because you can't hold it

https://archiveofourown.org/works/15857901

The Leftovers is the most amazing show that...I can't even explain. It's a tough watch but unlike slogs into pure misery like The Walking Dead, it isn't this helpless hopeless thing. That being said, the first season is a very effective study in depression. Interesting story - this was my depression vid. Ok, so that story wasn't as interesting as it was short. This is one of those vids that has an audience of one but since that one is sdwolfpup, it's worth it.

Video #19

Title: Dreams

Artist: Fleetwood Mac

Fandom: Sharp Objects

Category: Camille Preaker character study

Summary: "It's safer to be feared than loved"

https://archiveofourown.org/works/16324298

I really wanted to explore Camille's survival and what it has cost her and how even by not being Adora's victim, she was damaged and what it means when she allows Adora to "mother" her -- like in a very sad, real and primal way - she wanted her mother even if this is the price. The show did an amazing job with the concept of intrusive trauma memories and please pay attention to the tags regarding vid content

Video #20

Title: Santa Buddy

Artist: Michael Bublé

Fandom: Supernatural

Category: Dean/Castiel

Summary: Just a dude asking his buddy to buy him a bunch of stuff and hurry down the chimney and stuff his stocking. Just guys being pals.
