how quickly the illusion fades…

This makes me so happy:

Via sasha_feather, I also really enjoyed 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.

I agree with you re feeling ambivalent about vids to Janelle Monae songs. Monae does her own vids and they are so powerful! Not that I think it can't be done, but I have yet to see a fanvid that lives up to one of her songs. And I have deep, strong feelings of sadness and betrayal about BSG, so maybe as the above commenter said, you should not finish it.
