Yay for another season of

buffyversetop5. I always look forward to it so thank you in advance to the mods for being keepers of the flame.

I found I had so many ensemble vids in my list of links that I thought I’d make a specific post about them. So here are five classic Buffy ‘verse ensemble vids that I really love from days gone by.

I Lived by Buffyverseedits is a great walk down memory lane. It’s really happy making

( More Ensemble goodies this way )

Yay for the return of

buffyversetop5

Here are five classic Buffy 'verse vids that I love. Assume that there are spoilers for both BTVS and AtS in these vids.

Life is Beautiful by starryeyesxx1. Possibly my favourite BTVS/AtS ensemble vid. This is 6 minutes of awesomeness.

( More good stuff this way... )

I promised a second 2020 Buffy 'verse vid post, so here it is.

The Preacher by heda reyes. This is dark, angsty and gorgeously done.

( Even more video beauties this way... )

1SnoWhiteQueen1 has been on a roll making Buffy and Angel vids this year. I just don't understand how it's possible to create so many vids in such a short time AND with such terrific quality. The editing is fantastic, the colours are gorgeous, they're filled with action and/or drama, they let the characters shine... It's simply amazing and I'm totally in awe (and very envious) of 1SnoWhiteQueen1's skills!

The following 5 are just the tip of the iceberg; all 1SnoWhiteQueen1's vids come recommended (and there are a lot of them).

Hey, so I'm pretty sure this is my first time actually posting to this event, so hopefully I do it right!

Sometimes when I'm wanting a certain kind of fandom high or wanting to get pumped prior to writing, I trawl youtube for vids. Here, in no particular order, are some faves that I could watch again and again.

1. Aww, Naimly drew the cutest image of season 1 Willow.

Let's squeeze in some more Buffy vid recs.

Camelia1986 - Halloween in Sunnydale: THE Buffy Halloween vid as far as I'm concerned, should be rewatched at least once yearly!

Nicole Anell - White Rabbit: Restless episodic vid, set to Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit. Mesmerizing.

Brad CPU & Milly - Polka Slayer: Buffy overview vid, with polka. Great fun!

Rowena - BtVS abridged William Tell Overture: the Complete Buffy in just a little over 3 minutes.

Jetpack-monkey / Luminosity & Kamil - It's the End of the World As We Know It: remastered version of a true classic.

Another bit of everything here, hope you find something you like!

1) The Collector by sparrow2000. I came across this during a previous Top 5 session and thought it was a gem. The bits of humor, the sad truths, the evidence of continuing friendship shot through with the difficulties of having faced so much separately as well as together, all in evidence here. Although connected to another story it can stand alone. ( Read more... )

Yes, more vids!

Night Time, My Time by Faith SummersProduction (Spuffy).
The kind of Spuffy vid I like best: not your standard romantic fare, but dark, sensual, atmospheric and intense.

( Rest of the vids are under the cut. )

Another fanvids that I can't leave un-recced:

When I'm Up, I Can't Get Down (Firefly, Wash) by

thedothatgirl. Tribute to 'Wash', pilot extraordinaire, husband, friend and dinosaur wrangler.

What A Wonderful World (AtS & BtVS) by robinsrevenge. If anybody asks me what’s so special about Buffyverse, I could just show them this vid. There is everything.

Some favorite Buffy vids of the past year.

High by the Beach by

big_n_happy (Cvalda). Vid about Buffy and Lily (aka Anne), about growing up and moving on. Flawless post-Becoming character study.

Why You Should Watch Angel by Passion of the Nerd

Dear Marvel Cinematic Universe Writers: Black Widow Is Not Buffy by Alice Meichi Li

Okay, I'm not exactly sure what to call this category but they're not chipper, that's for sure.
These are all worksafe.

1. Brave New World by Kaydee Falls asks if we are sure that the real world actually is better than the Wish!verse.

2. Quinara's in the dark / sometimes / i hear you gives a great feel of Spike's insane in the high-school basement PoV.

3. Losing Your Memory by Tay Marie has me in tears each time I watch.

4. Aycheb's Scarlet Ribbons: Yeah, I apologize for inflicing this on you right after Losing Your Memory. Also, I think it's awesome she quoted Alice Sheldon (aka James Tiptree Jr.).

5. Laura Shapiro's Transparent: Eeeeee! Amazing Willow character study.

Hope on Fire by

shinyjenni (Buffy). Amazing Buffy-centric slayers vid. If only Buffy could show it to the Potentials instead of all those season 7 speeches.

I Belong to You by restfield. After so many years of fanworks it's not often one comes across something truly different but a video of Angel/Buffy/Mr. Gordo? That qualifies :D

Hello all! I'm really grateful for all the great recs in this community, so it's high time for my first attempt at returning the favour. Here are my Top 5 favourite dark/dramatic vids from 2014.

FANVIDS:
Tightrope by fray-adjacent12 - Boy, the movement and the rhythm of this vid! So amazing!
Born To Kill by thedothatgirl - Such an intense Faith vid! Love the B&W style and the explosive ending!
Final Hour (10th CHOSEN anniversary) by narvinek - OMG, I keep rewatching this new version and I keep comparing it to the old one and, yes, they're pretty different, the focus here is more tightly on Buffy but I really can't choose which one I like best... *_*

META:
Spike in ats s5 by coalitiongirl - This post makes such an interesting point about Spike!
Why We Fight: An Essay on Truth and Purpose by lynnenne - This meta made me really re-valuate the episode "Why We Fight"! ♥

All of these are Buffy-centric and/or "gen" vids that remind me why I love the Buffyverse, and Buffy Summers, so much. The same superlatives applies to each of them: presenting ideas, themes or arcs in the verse in new or unusual ways; excellent editing to the beat, rhythms, mood and lyrics (as applicable) of the music; matching visual movements from one shot to the next. Listed in alphabetical order by the vidder's screenames.

"Buffy the Vampire Slayer Tribute Trailer" by Afterthebattle - Finished in time for International Women's Day 2013. I've seen a lot of so-called "epic btvs vids" but this one truly is epic; set to a remix of Ennio Morricone's "The Ecstasy of Gold".

"Once" by Afterthebattle - Unusual in it's focus on Buffy's relationship with Dawn, who gets more "screen time" here than any character save Buffy.

"Die Young" by

kaydeefalls - another meta vid about violence in SDHS, Seasons 1-3 that is both funny and dark.

"Buffy Summers, A Tribute" by MrMorda898 - Somewhat similar in feel and quality to Afterthebattle's tribute trailer but more Buffy-centric.

"It's Not My Time" by MrMorda898 - Another gen tribute trailer from MrMorda but the upbeat title song by 3DoorsDown gives it a very different feel from the other vids on this list.

(One caveat: I'd love to see all vidders remember to include the song credits (title and artist) as the music used is very often new to me.)

I love how it blends together the Sin City trailer and Angel the series. BadFred is awesome at making interesting short films that masquerade like vids.( Read more... )

Cost/Benefit Analysis by

dessert_first - R – "The question is not if a missing eye is really worth it. The question is, what wouldn't you pay if you had the chance to make someone whole again?" Spike/Xander.

Lucky Me by

millylicious - All – We all know Buffy's had a rather unfortunate love life, but it's never been so funny as it is here! Milly puts the vid together so cleverly you hardly notice all the work that went into it, because you're too busy alternately laughing and shaking your head at Buffy's, well, luck. Wonderful framing, lots of fun.
