alias_sqbrA while ago I made a dvd of fanvids for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lilysea. She thanked me but said she found the format (uneducational names like Bvid_26_large.avi organised in folders by how much I like them) meant it was like a packet of Berties Botts every flavour beans(*): a vid could be from any fandom, and turn out to be a humourous parody or a dark violent AU with incest manips or anything in between.
Yesterday I was making dvds of some stuff fortevriel and had a bunch of extra room so decided to fill it with vids (as is my wont) I decided she is probably not the sort to appreciate sudden unexpected depressing violence in her light entertainment, and that it was a good opportunity to make a folder of happy vids for future such occasions (when I just want to fill some space and the person hasn't asked for ALL my good vids).
I started chucking it together based on the feeling I got when I thought about the vid but decided I should double check the ones I couldn't remember clearly.
And, as lilysea would I'm sure agree, my lord I do like a lot of dark stuff. Even the "happy" vids I like tend to be "death and despair set to an ironically cheery tune" or "celebration of how awesome a character is through adversity *insert images of adversity*".
So tevriel, I did my best, but if some darkness got through I apologise but be aware that comparatively speaking it's still sweetness and light :) (Except the Supernatural vids folder, which is solid delicious angst)
See also the fact that my favourite genre of music is "break up songs".
(*)My metaphor not hers :)

But then I need the fluff to wash it all down.

Date: 2009-05-31 12:19 am (UTC)well, if you are in the mood to compose more DVDs with fanvids, I would totally not be averse to one. Just saying.
My fanvids are more character or pairing focused and well, angsty&dark isn't ~usually~ what I look for in vids. That said, I'm not entirely sure they're superfluffy either. LOL Spn vids are almost always DEATH DARKNESS WINCHESTER SADFACE.
I have not watched enough vids though. *makes note to go through your delicious vid recs*

Date: 2009-06-02 07:41 am (UTC)Some of them are shmoopy shipper vids or humour. The shmoopy wincest ones Freak Me Out. (I am not freaked by the same things as other people :)) But yes.
Be warned about my delicious recs: I save EVERYTHING. You only want to watch the ones that are either fandoms you Must See or are labelled as "good" or "awesome" or whatever (though sometimes I forget to add a rating. My vid recs: an adventure into the unknown however you access them :)).
*headesk* I was going to say "I'll give you one when I next see you in person" and I saw you THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY. This is what I get for being slow answering my mail. Well, anyway, remind me before the NEXT time I see you.
