I feel loved.
Illyria: Wesley's dead. I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence. Spike: Well, wishes just happen to be horses today.

shrift, anything come to your mind?
I did a quick spin around fandom, but didn't come up with much beyond:
I have absolutely no idea what quality of vids these are, be forewarned.
Although it does provide more proof for the There Are Vids to Evanescence Songs In Every Fandom theory.

Hey. New board.
Evanescence does seem to be remarkably viddable.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
shrift, thanks. I was on there last night. There was what looked like a really cute Ron/Hermione to "Accidentaly in Love" but the quality was shit.

Sorry I could be more help, Aimee. I've only seen a handful of HP vids in all the vidshows I've attended. The fandom skews young, and that would mean less vidders with talent born of experience and access to the expensive equipment necessary to make vids that aren't crap.

For me, I think part of the problem with vidding to Evanescence is that the group does seem to have such a broad appeal and scope that you can vid any fandom to it, but since their songs can be so broadly applied, it often doesn't inspire interesting creative choices.

Hey. New board.
Oh, I'm not saying that I think the vids are usually great, though I honestly suspect I could watch a clock ticking to "My Immortal" and be happy. I was just saying that I've noticed a lot of them out there, and I barely pay attention to vidding at all.
What equipment do you need to make vids that aren't crap? I think I could do just about everything I've seen in a vid (except the being creative part) using my computer and Final Cut Express as long as I'm working from DVDs, but I guess those probably qualify as expensive.

I've been to a lot of vid shows, so the thought of sitting through another vid to "My Immortal" or "Bring Me To Life" makes me twitch, but I'm certain this is a case of Your Evanescence Exposure May Vary.

I'm not a vidder, so I'm not the best person to ask. Computers, software, peripherals, and source can get pricey. For example, Adobe Premiere runs about $500 and the better video capture cards can go for several hundred dollars.

And hard drive space. I've heard vidders talk about burning through HD space like whoa.

Thrive to spite them
A quick search on the Buffy vid database (for Btvs and ats) brings up17 vids for My Immortal and 15 for Bring me to Life. I'm sure there are more that aren't listed on the database.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There's a database? Cool. Are there vids for Closer (NIN, not Maxwell) or Outside by Staind & Durst?
