how quickly the illusion fades…

This makes me so happy:



Via [personal profile] sasha_feather, I also really enjoyed [livejournal.com profile] beccatoria's NaViMaMo vidlets. I particularly liked the ones for The Dark Knight and for the Star Wars saga, though I also thought the BSG/"Cold War" vidlet was interesting. I continue to have strong reservations about vids to Janelle Monáe's music, but I think this vid deals with concerns that are similar enough that it's not blatantly appropriative but rather creates an interesting commentary on both source and song--though the song is still far ahead of the source, I think, in terms of complexity. Though I haven't finished BSG yet; maybe when I do I will change my mind. Anyway.

Oh, my God. That Harry Potter video. I love it.

I similarly think Monae must be hard to vid, though I'm not a vidder (more a passive storyboarder who may eventually get around to it). The narrative in her work is so sharp, so present--it would be like vidding to musical numbers from plays, you know? Though I'm sure people do that. But that vidlet's beautiful.
