I honestly suspect I could watch a clock ticking to "My Immortal" and be happy.

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.

What equipment do you need to make vids that aren't crap?

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.

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?

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Oh, my god, I bet there are ten times as many as in the database.

And sisabet's Angel vid to "Closer" is fairly legendary, ita. I'm surprised you haven't seen it yet. There's also a mindfuck Star Trek: TOS vid to it.

You know, I may have ... who's featured?

I was thinking of both in a Spuffy context. They seem perfect.

Angel and Spike.

Closer is spike and angel, it's amazing really. Sisabet's site is headtilt.com

The database has links to lots of vids , it's buffyvids.com. Neither is password protected.

The TOS vid is incredible. Great editing and a really good constructed reality.

Also check out Sisabet's vid Two Words. It's really good, really dense with a lot going on, but really good.
