Five favorite gen vids of 2016

[rbfvid.livejournal.com]

NA NA NA - The Scoobies Make Some Noise by double_dutchess and thenewbuzwuzz. Loud and incredibly uplifting vid. And also a great illustration why Scoobies make such a great team.

See You Again by robinsrevenge (AtS & BtVS ensemble). Beautiful and heartbreaking tribute to the characters whom we loved and lost on both shows.

Flares by jess9191 (AtS & BtVS ensemble). Another vid focusing on character deats, but much more hopeful in tone. Almost unbelievably hopeful (well, in a good way).

Who Are You, Really? by Afterthebattle. Spike character study (and probably the best use of this song that I know of).


Primadonna girl by lucystonersix (Cordelia). A delightfully lighthearted Cordelia tribute vid.

I already knew how terrific NA NA NA was, but the others are equally as good. See You Again, just killed me.

Thank you so much for reccing these.

Thank you so much for including Na Na Na on this list.

I was already a big fan of "Who are you really", but I just checked out the other vids that were new to me and they are terrific too. (Though "Hollywood" remains the best Cordelia vid ever, in my opinion!)

Yes, thank you very much for the mention. :) I'm glad the teamwork angle shows - we gave it some thought.
I loved "Flares"! Will make sure to check everything else out, especially "Who Are You, Really?" (I think I decided to watch it later and then forgot - thanks so much for the reminder!)

*In fact, it looks like I loved "Flares" so much that I subconsciously borrowed clips from it. Whoops.

They're all wonderful. I'm just bowled over. Fabulous work from everyone.

I can tell the holidays are over based on how my days are disappearing! One of the things I particularly liked about Na Na Na is how it seems like an extended credit video for the show. It has that same drive of the show's theme.

I think it might have a similar tonality, sound-wise? That probably helps? (Not that I really know how chords work even when I'm looking right at them.) Anyway, that's great to hear - thanks!

Can't believe how many videos I've missed in 2016! Thanks for the rec!

Great vids all of them! I only knew the delightful Na Na Na, but the others went straight to my bookmarks. Especially love the Cordy one, I had never seen a vid dedicated to her.
And of course the brilliant Flares.

Thanks for sharing these!

Like sparrow2000, I also already knew na na na is great, but the others are all new to me. My fave is Flares which is surprising because, not being an AtS fan, I rarely enjoy vids with that much of an AtS focus. But that's so excellent a vid that it triumphed over it's AtSness. ;-)
