Vid meme day 19

A movie vid you love

Heart of Funkness by absolutedestiny Apocalypse Now.

I hated this movie, but I love the vid. The vidder's description is priceless:
Things I tried to do in this vid? Well, for one I wanted to make a vid that was all about war equating to male sexual frustration, putting in as many phallus images, ejaculatory explosions and finally spiralling into some tribal, primal hell of fleshy frustrated insane homo-eroticism.... and animal slaughter.

Fever by talitha78 Sherlock Holmes (2010).

There are several great Sherlock Holmes vids in my folder, this is just one of them. The Adam Lambert song is fun, the visual effects of this vid are incredibly well done and make it stand out.

My first thought was, "Fever has visual effects?" I don't think of it as a very effects-y vid, but then I went and watched it and there are lots, but they're all in the original source, I think. I feel like talitha took a pretty light touch with what she did herself -- there's probably some time adjustment and stuff, but nothing that I think of as "effects" when I am thinking as a vidder.

But yes, it is a wonderful vid... I rewatch it lots, and it always makes me smile :)

When I watch it I see a pulsating light/dark effect that line up with the beat of the music...?

Hah hah, I remember noticing that, too and commenting on it when she first posted the vid, and she responded to say that that pulsing light/dark thing is because she vidded from a bad rip of the source. I think she remastered the vid since the dvds came out. I liked that, too and totally thought it was intentional, heh.

Thanks for all these links! I liked the Holmes video, but oh man I really loved talitha78's "Apple Candy" vid.

Thanks for commenting! I've been enjoying doing this meme. "Apple Candy" is another great vid! With a wonderful song. That is one of my favorite of the many ST Reboot vids in my folder.
