boomqueenI don't think I quite watched all 74 ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
festivids vids before my brain gave out but there were a LOT to oooh and aaah over!!! Here are my favorites before the reveals list goes live on Sunday :)
Absolute faves...
Back to the Future - Here it Goes Again - Don't let the goofiness and the hilarity distract you from how BRILLIANTLY this vid is constructed. So many clever visual parallels and kinetic humor.
Leverage - In the Ayer - An absolutely delightful ensemble vid. The whole thing just makes me grin like a maniac.
Much Ado About Nothing - Just a Girl - What a perfect vid for Beatrice! Such great use of all her amazing facial expressions and physical humor. Perfect pacing and so many wonderful lyrical nods (I particularly love her anger/indignation on 'they won't let me drive late at night'). Beatrice is a royal badass :D
So You Think You Can Dance - Feel It - This was SO AMAZING!!! The editing is just stellar and the dance sequences popped like nothing else. Hot like fucking burning.
Wall-E - Mr Blue Sky - Unbelievably charming and adorable with amaaaaaaaazing internal movement. I was grinning like a fool for the whole gorgeous, sweet, pitch-perfect vid.
Watchmen - Afraid of Americans - I didn't even LIKE this movie. But the vid is amazing. Gorgeous gorgeous editing, and a searing look at the vulnerability, pain, corruption and hatred each of the Watchmen wear so close to the surface. WOW.
Other recs...
The Big Bang Theory - The Geeks Get the Girls - Fun and adorable nerds being geeky and awkward and in love! This vid is the very definition of adorkable :)
Dark Angel - Holiday - Kinetic, sexy and fun. I love the sense of humor and pacing in this vid.
Die Hard - Radar - Bringing humor and beatwork (and a lot of adorable smirky baby faced Bruce Willis) to this bloody action-packed movie series.
Facts of Life - Don't Ask Me - It's a bloody Jo/Blair vid ffs! So awesome it can't be described or contained.
Galaxy Quest - Let's go crazy - Cracktastically delightful!
Yesterday's gone - So many great facial expressions. Mega bonus points for catching all of Alan Rickman's physical humor.
Gladiator - Of Monsters and Heroes and Men - This vid made me remember how gorgeous this film was. A slow building emotion and lovely understated editing.
Glee - Sweetspot - I never realized how much Will and Finn touch each other--so much manly affection and UST! A perfect slash vid :D
Legend of the Seeker - Body and Soul - Such gorgeous visuals and perfect internal movement. I've never seen this series (though I've heard of it via the flist) but I think this vid just totally sold me on it.
Little Mosque on the Prairie - All for swinging you around - I've never seen this show before, but what perfect movement and physical humor!!! A completely delightful vid
Lost in Austen - One week - Great timing and humor in this adorable, grin-inducing vid. Poor girl can't get anything right!
Return to Oz - Memory Lane - I love how the vidder tied in Dorothy's fantasy/Oz with the mundanity and fear of her regular life. Heart-breaking and awesome.
Thoroughly Modern Millie - Move Your Feet - This is perfectly dancey and totally delightful for such a cracky musical. [And this song was on my list of possibilities if I had been matched with TMM, so I wholeheartedly approve *g*]
Vampire Diaries - AEIOU - In which Stefan is a tease and Elena is tired of his shit. In other words, hilarious.
White Collar - Let's Misbehave - In which Matt Bomer is hottttttttt, and there are lots of hijinks. I really need to watch this show too!
