Who did the High and Dry one cos that was great
I don't know that one, UTTAD. My favorite vidders in Farscape are probably Tazey, Birgit, DallasScaper, and -- now -- Fialka and Laura Shapiro. Other very good vidders are LithiumDoll, KOBA-TV (AnnieBW), ScapeSisters, AnduraNova, FieryHands, Bruce Micales...
Most of those vidders can be found archived on FarscapeFantasy, although I know Tazey, Birgit, and Fieryhands keep their own websites as well.
My problem with Farscape vids is that 95% of what's out there is really shmoopy John/Aeryn, done to shmoopy pop. Give me examinations of other characters, different music, unconventional storylines. For whatever reason, that seems to be hard to come by in this fandom.

The Scorpy vid set to "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
Thanks Consuela, I'll have a look at those.

Oh, god, yes. DallasScaper is *brilliant*. He also did that Coldplay one set to Politick, where the romance of it is balanced out by the brilliant editing. The last 40 seconds are jaw-dropping.

Heh. I think this is probably true for most fandoms. Not just for vids, but for fic as well. I've become fairly selective about what I watch & read over the years--I should try to broaden my horizon and read & watch the work of the folks I'm not familiar with, especially since I contribute to a rec site... but man, so much of what is out there is just so cringe-inducingly bad. It's err, somebody's law, ain't it? Sturgeon's? Goodwin's? (No, that's the one about the Nazis.) Hmm.
Sturgeon's Law: 90% of everything is crap.
For whatever reason, that seems to be hard to come by in this fandom.
With the vids and the fan fiction.
And why are people contacting me about Save Farscape campaign stuff? Whyyyy? I did my time, and will do no more. Blood from a stone.
Found the High and Dry vid. It's by Oddfeld. Here.
I think they want to do more banner ads. Is there anyone you can hand it off to? Or you can ask to hand it off to someone. Drop Red a note, or better yet, Twich.
Talking about vids...
Sisabet has put her Angel/Lindsey vid, Last Man Standing, back online. Man, I love this vid. Now, *that* is a good slash vid. Such a perfect song for Lindsey, too. And it opens with that low shot of Angel in his billowy-king-of-pain coat getting off a bar stool and striding off slo-mo from "City Of...", which is one of my fave shots of the series, ever.
