5 More Favorite Buffyverse Fanvids (Pt 2)

[red-satin-doll.livejournal.com]

Alphabetically by vidders' names. I'm listing the music tracks here because even the most accomplished vidders often fail to do so.*

"Red" by Afterthebattle - (Buffy/Spike) Spike POV S5-7. "Losing her is blue like I've never known/ Missing her is dark grey all alone..."  Set to Tyler Ward's down-tempo 2012 cover of Taylor Swift's "Red" from his 3-song CD Covers From the Road.


"Light 'em Up" by Afterthebattle -  (btvs, gen) A "vidlet" that packs an incredible emotional wallop in just 1:23 minutes.  Set to Fall Out Boy's "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light 'em Up)".

"He's Not My Boyfriend [Humor]" by Afterthebattle - (Buffy/Spike, S4 -6) Reminder: Every once in a blue moon I actually do come across a funny fanvid in this 'verse I enjoy. It's not that I am all about the angst or I lack a sense of humor *ahem*; it's that drama is hard and tragedy is harder, but comedy is damn near impossible to get right. Song: "Hey Na Na" by Katie Herzig.

"O' Death" by Jana (Kayenaatic) - (Buffy) a "high lonesome" Buffy character study on par with  "Suburbia" by dualbunny , "Deeds That Have Made Me" and "Under Stars" by fray_adjacent12. The haunting title song by Jen Titus is perfect for Buffy but feels timeless: the slow beat of a funeral dirge. BTW - I didn't have to look up the song credits in this case because Jana listed them at the end of the video. Can we get a MAJOR ROUND OF APPLAUSE for this?

"Who Are You, Really?" by xxIrisHaloxx - (Faith, Buffy) Episodic of "Who Are You", one of my all-time favorite episodes. Focusing entirely on Faith in Buffy's body, the beginning has a fun, kicky feel with playful editing of the "making faces" scene in front of the bathroom mirror; and then slowly becomes something darker as Faith's growing discomfort within her stolen skin becomes unbearable. Title track by Mikky Eiko. (Credit goes to blackie_da_minx for rec'ing it on her LJ.)


* I looked them up on ITunes as needed. You're welcome.

Cool! I shall look at these!

If you checked out my most recent Fandom Snowflake post, you might have noticed I included a vidder.

OMG, I love spikesredqueen's icons but I don't think I've seen their vids? Thank you for this! This is exactly the sort of thing I mean about this fandom - there's so much there there (or so much there here or..I'll stop mangling Gertrude Stein now.)

I'm feeling a little pouty about the snowflake meme because so many people are doing it and I want to participate but haven't been able to. :(

Her videos are absolutely fantabulous! I promise you will not be disappointed!

It's okay. Hey, maybe next year!

Hey, maybe next year!

Either that or cheat and just do the ones I like totally at random. (Let's get real, I couldn't do a 30-day meme to save my blessed soul.)

Just finished watching "Light Em Up." That's so awesome!

[red-satin-doll.livejournal.com]

I had to chose between that and AtB's "Bleeding Out" but Light 'em Up is just packs such a punch in a such a short time; I think more vids could stand to be shorter. Some of my favorite vids are barely two minutes.

Just watched Who Are You Really? Great song choice and a well done look at Faith's transition in that episode.

[red-satin-doll.livejournal.com]

I found that just a day or two ago, it's really awesome. I LOVE that episode so any fanworks about it have to be really good to impress me, and this one is. I think the silly light beginning helped because I thought that was going to be the tone of the entire thing and then it went darker, like the episode itself.

BTW I'm not seeing any tags on this post?

[yourlibrarian]

They should be up now -- I was having a little trouble getting some stuff to go through.

[red-satin-doll.livejournal.com]

Excellent, thank you!

Such beautiful vids! I've watched almost all of them and they are gorgeous.

[red-satin-doll.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you're enjoying them sweetie - they're addictive aren't they?

[kikimay]

A LOT. I'm actually really slow on Buffyverse these days because of RL and my FEELS (yes, like that) for the Eleventh Doctor: I'm rewatching all the episodes and crying. But, yes, beautiful vids.

Wonderful vids. I especially like Light 'Em Up.

[red-satin-doll.livejournal.com]

Afterthebattle does amazing work - I actually had to leave off one or two to make room for other people!
