Otter's Rock

I won noiproksa in the Sandy fandom charity auction, and she made me a Once Upon A Time vid.  I asked for either "You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You" or "More I Cannot Wish You", and she chose "You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You."  It's awesome, you should go check it out!

Song: You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You (Dean Martin)
Genre: gen, family, friendship
Characters: multi-character vid (Snow, Charming, Emma, Henry, Regina, Rumpel, Bae, Geppetto, Pinocchio, Red, Granny, Jefferson, Grace, Hansel, Gretel and their father… and probably some more)
Clips: used through 2x08
Length: 2:12
Summary: Family always finds one another.

Notes: This was made for the Sandy Fandom Charity Auction for beatrice_otter. (I had so much fun vidding OUAT, thanks for the opportunity!)
So many great family situations in this show and this is what this vid is all about. Sons, daughters, siblings, grandparents, fathers, mothers, biological or adoptive or otherwise … it's all there in the mix.



Now I just have to find somebody to do More I Cannot Wish You ...

Okay, this is hysterical.
Is there a copy available for DL anywhere?  My internet connection is not great, and also I like watching videos again and again, so I much prefer to save a copy to my hard drive.  (I don't have a youtube account, so I can't ask the vidder directly.

I've spent the last couple of days watching the first few episode arcs of Doctor Who that come up on Netflix and are available for streaming, and this completely random sampling of six or so episode arcs (spanning the whole of the classic Who) has had a surprising number of scenes I recognize from my classic Who fanvids--several per arc, actually.  Given the number of episode arcs that Classic Who has, it's quite striking.  Either the episodes that are streaming and come up first in "Doctor Who" searches on Netflix are among the classic episodes, or vidders use the streaming eps for clips.  Or both.

(Vids are What About Everything and Movin right Along; episodes are The Tomb of the Cybermen, The Curse of Fenric, Pyramids of Mars, The Horror of Fang Rock, The City of Death, and a couple others.)

(Also, the first Daleks were awesome villains, and very well done.  The first Cybermen ... not so much.)

This is the most awesomely hilarious cracktastic vid I've ever seen.

This is an awesome vid by Rob P Rocks.

Here are two great ones:

They by fahrbotdrusilla. Episodic vid for Human Nature/Family of Blood, set to 'They' by Jem.

I Feel Good by humansrsuperior. The Master, set to 'I Feel Good' by James Brown.

And I have no Dr Who icons. This is a tragic oversight that must be remedied. Anyone know where I can find some good ones?

This is a "trailer" for Mary Poppins done horror-style--you have got to check it out. It works surprisingly well.

I really enjoyed Superman Returns, but not much has been written for it yet. In case you liked the movie too but haven't come across anything from it, here's some cool stuff.

Two cool vids:

Superman Returns by louisemcgregor. Sorry, don't know the song title, the artist is someone called OK Go that I've never heard of, but it's a pretty cool vid. You can tell that parts of it were taken from an A&E special that aired just before the movie came out. Clois, but with lots of action.

Return to Me by louisemcgregor. Song by Dean Martin, which is a nice change from the standard fanvid song. This one is more about the relationship between Clark and Lois.

Stories:

Father, who art in heaven by imadra_blue. Clark/Superman's thoughts on Jason and Richard. I thought it was perfect. Unlike most fanfic, it has characters (Clark in this case) facing up to the reality of the situation, which is that he can't ever be the kind of father to Jason that Richard can. Interesting paralells between Clark and Jor-El. Poignant, sad, but still very sweet. And everyone is well-written and in character. There is slight temporal confusion; most of the fic seems to take place immeiately after the movie, but at one point Richard says that Lex has been out of sight for over a year. Aside from that, it is an awesome fic.

Deja Vu by htbthomas. My main problem with Superman Returns is the way they really didn't deal with the end of Supeman II, where Superman wipes Lois' memory of their relationship. That by itself is questionable morally (though he was doing it for good reasons, he shouldn't have done it without asking her first). Then Superman Returns comes along and you find out that their brief relationship produced a child. But she no longer even remembers that relationship. Thats ... pretty freaky, and if I were Lois I'd be pretty freaked out about it. But there was nothing about it in the film, not one word. This fic takes place immediately after the movie, as memories start coming back to Lois, and is mostly about her figuring out what happened and trying to deal with it.

Hold Your Tongue by JulesJanson. In which Clark Kent isn't as good at hiding his secrets as he thinks he is, and Jimmy Figures Things Out. Very good Jimmy voice.

Okay, some of the clips could be rearranged to better fit the music, but it's still fun stuff:

Emperor Palpatine, a Tribute
