sasha_featherDay 17 - A vid you wish you had made
I'm not a vidder. I don't know anything about vidding! I admire the talents of all vidders.
So I'll answer this question with two vids that speak to me very personally lately, from an emotional and aesthetic level.

I haven't yet read the fic that this goes with, so my my interpretation of the vid is as a dream that Rodney is having. I love the color and focus changes, the feeling of slow exploration interrupted by quick moments of expression. What a gorgeous vid.
Evening on the Ground byhollywoodgrrl. SGA, John Sheppard character study.
It's amazing how many John Sheppard vids I have in my folder. That means a lot of us (myself included) see ourselves in this character. This vid is about John's guilt, and it's pretty intense. It has some rapidly flashing images that line up perfectly with the rapid, building music, evoking a life that is desperate, on edge; that John is hanging on for dear life, that he is afraid of losing even more people than he already has, and he feels a tremendous responsibility to prevent that from happening. There is just so much emotion here, under the surface.
