I am picky about fanvids. Considering how picky I am about fanfic, this should come as no surprise. But most fanvids I start, I x-out of before 30 seconds pass. It just takes a lot to make the genre work for me, but when it does, it REALLY works! Imo, a fanvid has to have a good song (usually with a beat), dynamic and interesting editing, and some kind of thesis statement--and "their love is so beautiful!!!" can absolutely be a thesis statement. (Also preferably not dialogue. There are a few times when I've seen that done well, but not very many.) It's really hard to make a good vid! I admire good vidders more than I can say!
So I'm going to share with y'all my favorite vids from over the years, the ones that have stuck with me the longest, the ones I revisit again and again. (Well, if I can find them. Some have disappeared from the internet.) I'm going to do half of them now and half later!
( behind the cut: 5 vids for 5 different fandoms )
