January 16th - What's your favorite fanvid(s) you've made? (requested by [personal profile] aurumcalendula )

I say to myself every time I make a new vid, "Oh this is now my new favorite!"...
So...I will list the ones I re-watch the most out of all of my vids and kind of go into more detail.

Genre: Psychological Thriller
"Voices" (Black Swan / Closet Monster, etc..) - I had this idea for years that I wanted to do a crossover between these films. I saw so many parallels between the both & it's main characters that I just had to create this vid. Both Nina & Oscar have issues with their parents and are both pretty toxic. They both go down a path of trying to discover a part of themselves which leads to hallucinations and psychological distress. They are both extremely hard on themselves when they feel like they have failed something they were trying to achieve and They both struggle with expressing their sexuality. So basically both characters go down a dark path. As for what I love about this video is honestly it's the song choice and the editing along side the disturbing images. I just know for a fact that this is the video I re-watch the most of all the videos I have made so that is why it's the first one I am listing.

Genre: Character Study
"Howl" (Falling Skies) - Ben Mason is my favorite character out of all the tv shows I have watched. I have always loved characters who were different with unique gifts and not normal like everybody else. Ben knows and understands who the real enemy is and does everything he can to stop them. While most of the other kids who were changed like him turned evil and sided with the enemies team; Ben chose the good side (humanity) & fought the good fight and I love him for that. What went wrong with him, he used it to his advantage to beat aliens who took him & changed him. No matter how many times he lost someone he cared for, he kept going and never gave up. Back when I edited this vid, I remember I couldn't find a good character study on Ben online, so I knew that I wanted this to turn out the best it could be. There is a lot of layers to Ben and lots of other storylines going on, but I really wanted to focus on my favorite part of his story which was him against the skitters (aliens).

Genre: Boy Slash
"Losing Grip" (As The World Turns) - Luke/Noah was my first fav gay ship. I hated how the show ruined their relationship in the end though, but I really love angsty stuff so I wanted to make this using Luke's POV and showing why the relationship went bad. Luke got very easily jealous when it came to Noah and felt a lot like the third wheel. Noah had his reasonings for the choices he made, but Luke really couldn't deal with any of it. Back then, panning a lot was a thing in video editing especially because of Sony Vegas making it easy to do that. So I used a whole lot of panning, which I doubt I would use it in this way again, but since the source footage was soooo static and the song is very upbeat and high intensity; It works best with all the added movement. It kind of feels like being on a rollercoaster of angst lol. I don't know how much more to add, but that I just love how angsty this vid is and watching Luke lose his shit over and over. This video was actually very inspired by another angsty Luke/Noah vid that I watched years ago & it was what motivated me to make my own version.

Genre: Vampire/Human Romance
"Lonely B*tch" (Love Sucks) - This one is a new vid & I definitely like to watch this one. I ended up liking this show a little too much & really wanted to make this video. It ended up coming out better than I could imagine. I don't have a ton more to say about this either than I love the song used, the storyline and the atmosphere of it. It was also just so much fun to make and is a lot of fun to watch!

Genre: Comedy (Dance, Bloopers, Gag Reel)
"How We Roll" (Supernatural) - I waited many years to create this fanvid till I had enough source material and it paid off for me. This video is just so much fun & puts me in a good mood every time. I feel like Supernatural was one of the only shows that really delivered on these blooper reels every single season and Jared + Jensen have such an awesome sense of humor. This video was also pretty different from all of my other videos with it being so focused on behind the scenes footage.

Genre: Asian Drama/Romance/Comedy
"Cartoon" (Hi, My Sweetheart) - I made this a long time ago for my birthday. I was a huge fan of Skye Sweetnam's music and I loved this Asian drama! I'm a sucker for enemies to lovers storyline. The show has a lot of wacky and fun silly moments. I had so much fun making this video & still enjoy watching it over and over.
