New F/K Vid: "Better Days" by the Goo Goo Dolls

[arrow00]

Hey guys:

Happy New Year! I made a holiday F/K vid. Kind of Fraser-centric
because of the way the eps looped into the lyrics.

Better Days (Quicktime, 38MB)

One of the things I love about the series is that watching them in order really doesn't matter that much.
The Dief ep is called Wild Bunch and I think it's on the first couple of disks.

Yeah, context. :) I'm not a very good vidder--I rely a lot on people knowing eps, but a really good vidder can, I think, make it work at the same time for someone who's never even seen a show. (e.g., I saw an SGA vid at BASCon that knocked my freakin' socks off, and I've never seen a single ep.) I just can't think that many ways at once and still make the damned timing fit.

I'm not a very good vidder

Oi! Are, too. This was extremely beautiful, you sayin' I have no taste?

About the context-thing (I was trying to make the point, that I'm not such a good fan, obviously, not not not what you said).

But context. I find it fascinating and am not at all of the opinion, that "a good vidder ..." etc, what you said. Because on the one hand, the clips are just, what they physically are, yes, while they of course, on the other hand, carry all their canon- and fandom-induced extra meanings. How on earth would one fit all of that under one hat? The sga-vid, that knocked your socks off (which was? If you wouldn't mind sharing), are you sure, you had the exact same reading of it, as die-hard fans of the show? Didn't think so :).

You as the vidder here have very little (ok, no) choice in, what your viewers bring to the table context-wise, obviously. I do not at all feel, that you have any kind of obligation to cater to anyone you don't feel like catering to.

No no! Not saying nothing about your excellent taste. :) Thank you very much.

I guess I think the highest vid art would reach fans on a different level from non-fans, but still reach the non-fans strongly...but yeah, somehow fitting it all under one hat. I think it takes extraordinary skill.

The SGA vid was "My Brilliant Idea (I Could Be In Love With Someone Like You)" artist Jason Robert Brown vidder Lim
(pasted from the handout. I don't know Lim's URL but I bet I can get it from Morgan Dawn.

Yeah, I think I get that about reaching folk on different levels.

Also thanks for the link! (and good, that we're clear on the taste-thing, too ;)
