Vid recs, free to good home

I often start putting together rec lists, but then I get distracted or whatever and don't end up finishing. So, to keep me motivated, I was thinking about putting individual rec posts together for people on my flist, tailored to their interests or whatever. Anyone interested? If you like vids (I could possibly be persuaded to include fic, too, if you really want), just drop me a comment and I'll happily rustle you up a rec list (if there's anything in particular you want - fandoms, characters, pairings, themes - just let me know, otherwise I'll go with what I know about you). Because, it'll be fun?

Vid recs (for superduperkc)

superduperkc said she'd like vid recs, but not tailored to her interests - as she said, "because vidding is one of my interests, I will watch almost anything in almost any fandom." And that struck a chord with me, because increasingly, so will I. When I first started watching vids, I stuck to fandoms I loved, and then to fandoms I was familiar with, and have got to the point now where I love watching vids even - sometimes especially - in fandoms I know nothing about. (And I'm sure I'm not the only person who has discovered, or rediscovered, love for a fandom via watching vids.) So, with that in my mind, I decided to put together a themed rec list - vids from shows I had never seen, or had watched a bit of but wasn't really fannish about. And somewhere along the line, this morphed into a fantasy playlist of vids for fandoms I'm not in (or wasn't, at the time of first viewing).

For superduperkc: I hope there are vids here you haven't seen, and that you enjoy your recs as much as I enjoyed putting them together.

Vid recs (for tielan)

tielan asked for SGA recs - Teyla, John/Teyla, and team. Here are some of my favourites:


Vid recs: Team Teyla


Mission Report by lim (Teyla)

This aired at vividcon, in the "vids that push the envelope" show, and it certainly does that. It's a mission report in song, from Teyla's POV, and it provides a unique and fascinating view of Teyla from a different cultural perspective. (Scroll down to the bottom of the page for the vid.)


Half Acre by kitakatzz (Teyla)

A lovely, poignant Teyla + ensemble vid, with some nice John and Teyla moments. The effects can be distracting at first, but after having watched the vid multiple times, I'm quite enamoured with them.


32 by keewick (Teyla)

I absolutely adore this vid, and I fall in love with it a bit more every time I watch it. It's definitely my favourite Teyla vid, and has some very interesting things to say about Teyla's role, and her place both in Atlantis and Pegasus.


Battleflag by keewick (Team)

Like the show, this is slightly John-centric, but it has some nice team moments, and includes some good Pegasus scenes rather than focusing exclusively on Atlantis. Definitely one of my favourite SGA team vids.


Another Sunday by jescaflowne (Team)

This vid is ... superlative. In every way. If you haven't watched it, I don't know where you've been hiding. It's my team, in all their sparkly goodness. (What? Ronon doesn't sparkle in your world? I pity you.) One of my favourite vids, ever.

Vid recs (for dayln03)

dayln03 asked for BSG and/or Sharon recs, which I'm all too happy to provide. I wish I had even more, but in the meantime, here's a glimpse into what BSG looks like from my (Sharon-centric) perspective.
