Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

The two HP vids I've seen have been awesome. The "Anything for Love"--is that the premiere vid? And, um. Starships!!

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Two happy-making multifandom vids from Club Vivid:

Gianjulakiss' A Different Kind of Love Song, which is a joyful celebration in geekdom: [link]

Flummery's Sexy and I Know It (basically what it says on the tin): [link]

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Thank you Vonnie. These are lovely. For some reason I was very moved by The Honeymooners inclusion in the second vid.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

Oh, those were great! I love that the second one ended with Tony Stark in the donut; I'm such an Avengers fangirl. And that George Takei's bare, sweaty chest got some time. I think that shot in Star Trek so many years ago was what made me decide I didn't like men with hairy chests.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I thought there was far too much Burn Notice, but I can forgive a vidder their biases and personal faves. Especially when, while watching, I was wishing there'd be some Charlie Crews --and while there wasn't that, there was still Danni's high heel from Life.

Ooh, love both of those!

Um, does anybody know if or where there's a dl link for the intro vid, The Hunger Games? I find it streaming all over, but no dl link. Which...may be deliberate, after all. Just asking, in case.

Here we go, Beverly: [link]

The vidder's Greensilver, who also did the Neville vid linked upthread. (I lost count on how many new vids she had during this years Vividcon. Probably 5-6, if not more.) I don't think she has anything against people downloading her vids.

Thank you! I have a fondness for multi-fandom vids. Oh, who'm I kidding. I just love vids, especially by vidders the caliber of Greensilver.

I'm just in awe at the vidders who can be that prolific in such a short period of time, and produce consistent quality work.

MOAR VIDS from VVC I liked:

Rhoboat had a couple of fantastic Fringe vids, one serious, one adorable:

Lateralus, which is all about how Walter broke all the worlds and himself. Dense, rich, and gorgeous, with spoilers all the way to the S4 finale: [link]

That's Not My Name, an Astrid vid set to a "I can't believe no one has vidded Astrid to this yet" song (beware the usual Fringe-y grossness!): [link]

I haven't seen Avatar or Korra but those who did really seemed to love this vid: [link]

Affecting character study about Arya Stark (Game of Thrones): [link]

Beautiful triptych of epic platonic (or not) friendships with historical resonance, Nicky's The Lightning Strike: [link]

Couple of intense and pointy vids about Colonialism:

Masters of War (SGA): [link]

Shake It Out (The New World): [link]

Uh, that should keep everybody busy for a while...
