I will ramble more about this later, when I'm home, but for now - this vid is for my wonderful and brilliant bff

such_heights, whose birthday was a few weeks ago. <3 She loves this song, and this show, and she deserves ALL THE NICE THINGS IN THE WORLD, so here you go buddy. Have 4 minutes of the beautiful Bill Potts smiling at the universe, and the beautiful Twelfth Doctor smiling at Bill.

Huge, huge thanks to

elisi, who watched several near-identical iterations of this vid and found lovely and helpful things to say about all of them, and whose Doctor Who meta continues to be the greatest.

Er, so, I also made a festivid treat for

such_heights because that is a thing I do. I actually made this before I made my assignment (and thought I was going to have to default on my assignment) and then proceeded to lie about it through my teeth to an unsuspecting

such_heights, because I am a terrible person and a frighteningly good liar when I want to be.

She wanted a vid about Matilda and Miss Honey, and their lovely relationship, and so that is what she got <3 I'm glad you like it, Arthur. Thank you to

usuallyhats and

cosmic_llin for betaing and enthusiasm!

Just got home from Vidukon! As ever, it was a completely wonderful weekend of vids, squee, too much sugar, more vids, more squee, and really excellent company. <3 Always one of the highlights of my year. I am too tired to do anything like a proper con report, but will note for those of you who weren't there that you can watch most of the vids shown at the con website, which is really comprehensive and awesome. I ran a vidshow called 'This Will Always Be Our Home' which seemed to go down well, and there were amazing shows on themes as diverse as Aliens, Revolution, Vampires, Fairytales, a nostalgic look back at what people were vidding 10 years ago, and lots of other great ideas. There was also Premieres! Oh, there were so many wonderful things, I just. All my friends are so talented. <3 Many feels were had. Also, I spent much of the weekend covered in glitter, and randomly yelling at people, 'Jesus Christ, I thought you were a fucking BEAR'. Those two facts are unconnected. In conclusion: VIDUKON, YOU GUYS.

Anyway, it was also

such_heights' birthday yesterday, so I made her a little vidlet of some of our favourite BFFs being BFFs. It is not the most polished thing I've ever made, but it is made with all the love in the world, because

such_heights is the greatest, you guys, and I'm not sure what I've done to deserve her as a best friend. She was happy for me to put this online, so here it is.

Festivids reveeeeeeals! I got two wonderful vids - This Sullen Welsh Heart, a Pride vid by

futuransky about politics and protest and hope and despair and carrying on fighting anyway. <3 It defies my feeble attempts at explanation, you should all go and watch it and cry.

I also got a treat in the form of You're My Best Friend, aka THE CUTEST SIR IAN & SIR PATRICK BFF VID EVER from my actual bff

such_heights(<33333!). It's just a fucking delight. LOOKIT THEM. THEY LOVE EACH OTHER. We are totally going to be like that when we're old and even dorkier than we are now.

I totally meant to make treats this year, but was tragically short on inspiration, and also distracted making two kind of spontaneous Doctor Who vids....oops.

But - HILARIOUSLY - I was actually assigned

such_heights as my FV recipient this year! It had to happen sometime, I guess?! We actually matched on several different things, and I can't even remember if this was one of them. But her request for a Verity and Waris vid caught my eye. I promised her that I hadn't made her a treat this year, so she totally thought she had one up on me by making me the aforementioned CUTEST SIR IAN & SIR PATRICK BFF VID EVER. Then It turned out that I'd made her a vid anyway. MWA HA HA. She guessed this vid was from me before even watching it. The metadata was a bit of a clue :-) More ramblings about that ( here )

Anyway, enough talking now, I'm the only person who cares about all this backstory - here's the vid:

Doctor Who is coming back this Saturday, which means that in a little less than 72 hours' time, my brain is going to be All Doctor Who All The Time, and consequently so will this journal.

But for now, here is a thing that is not Doctor Who (or, at least, only somewhat Doctor Who): The Such Dorks Wedding Album

As pretty much all of you will know (because most of you were there :-P)

such_heights and

happydork got married last weekend, in the most awesome space-themed wedding to ever wedding. In honour of this occasion, and because I love them both very much, I decided to exploit all my extremely talented friends, and, with the help of Awesome Flatmate K, put together a book of fannish joy for

such_heights and

happydork, full of messages from some of their fictional loves who sadly couldn't make the wedding. Some of these are now up on the AO3, thanks to the lovely

thingswithwings, and hopefully a few more will go up over the next week. Go! Read! Cry happy tears!

I am incredibly grateful to

cosmic_llin,

fly_to_dawn, gnimaerd,

kaydeefalls,

usuallyhats,

silly_cleo,

soupytwist

thingswithwings,

qian, and Awesome Flatmates K and L for all the beautiful, moving, funny, delightful things they made for the book! <3

Festivid treat the 1st!

HI

such_heights HI! I made you another vid about Karen's face! Oh, wait, you already knew that because you guessed I'd made this before you even watched it :-P

fandom: Not Another Happy Ending
characters: ~~Karen Gillan's Face~~ Jane/Darcy
music: The Writer by Ellie Goulding
summary: The writer and her muse
notes: Made for

such_heights for Festivids 2014. Made using her song idea and, er, her clips. :-P (Thanks for those!)
warnings: Tragically, this is not really representative of the film. I wish it were. The *actual* plot involves several kind of douchy guys, who take up valuable screen time which could and should have been given to Karen Gillan. So...apologies if this vid gets your hopes up. Femslash is entirely subtextual.

ETA 07/09/14 Now remastered and shiny! Links below are updated. The remastering process was tricker than I thought it would be (having never done this before) - mostly due to the cam footage scenes being inexplicably several frames longer than the DVD ripped scenes. Which meant I had to do some unexpected clip tweaking, to make the same clips fit in the same slots. Also, a couple of clips turned out to be way less awesome once you could actually *see* what was going on…! Notably, a clip that I thought showed an explosion, but turned out to just be a particularly blurry scene change…oops. That one got swapped out. Newly remastered vid also contains bonus!Maria Hill and bonus!Natasha, now that the full width of the screen can be seen. :-)

summary: Strangers waiting / up and down the boulevard...
content notes: Spoilers for the film. Also, some very shaky camera work, exacerbated by the cam-quality footage. NB: Please just bear with the first 30 seconds.... :-)

notes: It's that most wonderful time of year again -

such_heights's BIRTHDAY! ♥ She is the bestest of friends and the awesomest of flatmates (along with K &

happydork, my other two flatmates, of course) and so I made her this ridiculous little vid about Sam and Steve to celebrate. They are adorable and great, and so is she.

such_heights's birthday yesterday. ♥ Thank you for getting me to overcome my initial scepticism and finally watch this stupid show about stupid people with stupid faces and their stupid (beautiful, complex) relationship. I may have some Thoughts about them at some point, but right now everything I have to say is in the vid.

The second vid....the second vid is I've Just Seen A Face, made as a treat for

such_heights :-P

She had NO IDEA, MWA HA HA HA! The vid is a blatant love letter to KAREN GILLAN'S FACE OF JOY, and it was a lot of fun to make! Though it was possibly even *more* fun to watch

such_heights squee over, whilst rejoicing in secret on the sofa next to her :-D I am such a good liar and am NOT ASHAMED.

Saving Me & You

purplefringe
fandom: Imagine Me & You and Saving Face
characters: Rachel/Luce and Wil/Vivian
music: Kiss Me - Sixpence None The Richer
summary: Lesbian love in London and New York
content notes: Spoilers for both films
notes: Made for my partner-in-squee, the wonderful and brilliant

such_heights, on the occasion of her birthday. HAPPY (late) BIRTHDAY STUPIDFACE.
Warning: this vid is PURE FLUFF and I REGRET NOTHING.
Side note, for those of you who haven't seen the films but are watching this anyway: these two films do not *actually* contain the exact same storyline played by different actors, whatever I've made it look like. There are a LOT of parallels, both narratively and visually, and seeing as both

such_heights and I love a good parallel, I thought I'd have a bit of fun with that. But I promise that both films have different premises, different subplots and focuses, a bunch of other great characters who were left out of this vid, and are both very much worth watching :-D

summary: suddenly I see why the hell it means so much to me
notes: As with Wash and Zoe, there are not *nearly* enough vids celebrating the supportive, joyful and gloriously angst-free friendship of Inara and Kaylee. So this is a vid about them! It can be shippy if you want it to be, or simply about how Inara looks after Kaylee and Kaylee looks up to Inara. It's also a vid about how very beautiful they both are. :-)
