The Escapade 35 Vid Show served up a delicious platter of fanvids!

I've made what observations and comments I can, but I would thoroughly appreciate any readers who are familiar with canons that I don't know, or don't know fully, jumping in to speak more accurately about works based on Wicked, Starsky & Hutch, Agatha All Along,The Professionals, The Terror, Dark Winds, Fangs of Fortune, Arcane, Heaven Official's Blessing or Our Flag Means Death.

In fact, I would also love to hear from *any* viewer with their own perspective on *any* of these vids!

Here's my report for the fantastic vid show at the virtual Escapade 33.5. I kept a window open and typed up notes while the show was running. A lot of it is still more notes than sentences, but I hope it all makes sense! An asterisk means that the vid premiered at this vid show.

You can watch the vid show online at: https://vimeo.com/showcase/10584452

Certain vids, including all premiering vids, were discussed the next day at the Vid Review Panel; the abbreviation VRP introduces comments that were made by various participants when the vid was discussed and shared here with permission. All other comments are my own. ( Read more... )

I had marked the VIDS VIDS VIDS panel as a must-see and I'm so glad I did!!! Airawyn coordinated recommendations from Escapade attendees ahead of time and put together a great selection of vids in terms of time (older and newer vids) and space (Western and Asian fandoms) and feels (deeply sad, laugh-out-loud, and many things in between).

I watched Starsky & Hutch casually in the 1970's, but I never got bitten by the fannish bug for it. Still, since I know the main characters and a few of the plotlines, I generally enjoy S&H fanvids--and wow, this year's SHareCon, which ran from October 15-17, 2021, had some great ones!

There were actually three vid shows: the premiering vids, the dance party, and the historical vids. I took notes on the Premiering Vid Show, which was very impressive. And fun to watch!

A couple of notes: A. The vids were pretty much all slash, and B. There are probably subtleties in these vids that I didn't catch, and if anyone wants to share their knowledge to clarify things I missed or misinterpreted--I would love to have learningz!!!

Here's a link to watch all the vids online - you can watch them all in a row, or click on individual vids to watch them separately: https://vimeo.com/showcase/8017846

The short version: I thoroughly enjoyed this vid show! I can't give the vidders the feedback they deserve on all of the vids, since I didn't know all the fandoms. But I was tickled that I did recognize more of the fandoms than usual, and the vids were great!

Also, SUPER SPOILERY thoughts! Do not continue unless: (a) you have seen all of the Untamed or (b) you don't plan on ever watching it.

Chu and Guo are basically ... Brutus and Pixie! In that order.

If you haven't read the Pixie & Brutus webcomic, you can find it at pet_foolery's account on Instagram and also, I think, on Facebook. It's about an retired military dog who is adopted by a family with a kitten. It's insanely adorable.

I think this is the first time I've been in a fandom where the primary pairing actually ships the secondary pairing!!!

Zhao Yunlan is musing about how Chu didn't originally even LIKE Guo, and now they're inseparable. I adore Shen Wei's goofy smile--and his (unspoken) answer. ♥

Note from Amedia: Y'all know that Yahoo Groups--and with them, years of irreplaceable fannish history--are going away, right? I've been downloading the messages from Rat Patrol groups and a few other small fandoms whose groups I belonged to, and the more people we have participating, the better!!!

At 3 p.m. we had the Gen songvids panel. I had suggested this panel idea and Jan loved it--each panelist brought a favorite vid or two to show and talk about why we loved it.

Con.txt 2018 Vid Show

I thoroughly enjoyed this vid show, not once but twice! I saw it on Friday evening and then, on Saturday, con members could check out a flash drive with all the vids and copy them to their own laptops so we could rewatch them again anytime! I was in vid heaven! I rewatched them with some friends on Saturday night and loved them all over again. There were fewer conventional slash vids than I’m used to seeing, more character-study vids, and lots of grrl power. Great, great stuff.

[ETA]The con has posted a link to watch them all online! http://con-txt.net/index.php/vid-show/[/ETA]

REVELcon 2018: Vid Show

So many great vids this year! Kudos to all the vidders, and to Jamie for bringing it all together.

I was very pleased to be asked to provide another hour's worth of older vids for this year's REVELcon! Here's a list of the vids I showed, with comments, because I am so impressed by these vidders that I have to show them love! Since I was asked to focus on small fandoms, I wanted to find fun, high-energy vids that people would find entertaining even if they didn't know the fandom. I also threw in a few not-so-small fandoms like Star Trek, Sentinel, and Pros.
