MiniMerlin 2009: The Vid Show Post!

[solarcat]

Yes, MiniMerliners, your coordinator procrastinates a lot! XD

The MiniMerlin 2009 Vid Show Needs Your Help!

Attendees (and anyone else reading this!), please link me to your favorite Merlin vids!

I've already got a lot, but please feel free to rec anything, even if you're sure that "everyone's already seen that one". My own vid preferences tend to skew dramatically Merlin/Arthur-ward, so any gen, het, femslash or other!slash vids would be great! Most of our attendees are Merlin/Arthur shippers, but this is meant to be a Merlin con, not a Merlin slash con, so representation of other ships would be nice to have!


If you'd like to rec a video, please use this form!
You are welcome to rec as many vids as you like! ^^

Vid Title:
Vidder:
Pairing/Characters: (if it's an ensemble vid, just say "ensemble" or "cast")
Link: (put the full URL to the vid download post/page here)

Feel free to add any comments you want to make about the vid, why you like it, etc. I'm going to assemble a vid show with a good mix of pairings, characters, genres and song types, at least as much as possible, so we don't get bored or hit a block of ridiculously angsty vids or something. Thusly, not every vid will necessarily be shown (though I'll probably have all of them on hand if a vid doesn't make it in but people want to see it anyway XDDD ).
If a vidder has said in their post that they don't want their vid shared in this manner, it will not be included. Vidder's will rules, y'all.

I AM SO LATE TO THIS. And all of my vids are on my hard drive, so I'm not sure I'll be able to find the names for all the vidders, but I will come back later with a massive vid list? Y/Y?

I will work on that while I put together the "party favors" I'll be bringing with me to MiniMerlin. (All 35 of them. OMG.)



God. WHY DO I LEAVE EVERYTHING TO THE LAST MINUTE??? *BANGS HEAD AGAINST WALL*

Y!

DO NOT WORRY, I HAVE ALSO APPARENTLY LEFT EVERYTHING TO THE LAST MINUTE! *JOINS YOU IN YOUR WALL!ABUSE*

MASSIVE LIST O' VID RECS, PART 1

[ras-elased.livejournal.com]

So, this is SO TOTALLY LAST MINUTE OMG, and I should REALLY be studying for my test tomorrow, but here's my MASSIVE LIST O' VID RECS:
(All Arthur/Merlin, unless otherwise noted.)
(This would totally be a lot longer, but I'm trying not to list the ones that have been mentioned already. Forgive me if there are repeats!)

Vid Title: If I Was Your Girl
Vidder: danegen
Link: http://danegen.livejournal.com/24991.html
Comments: Arthur is hot. Merlin channels Edward Cullen. Lots of phallic imagery. And yet, surprisingly hot.

Vid Title: Echo
Vidder: solanyxe
Link: http://solanyxe.livejournal.com/8095.html
Comments: Merlin and Arthur have lots of sex. Uther does not approve.

Vid Title: Girlfriend
Vidder: simply_luriem
Link: http://simply-luriem.livejournal.com/671.html
Comments: Just try and watch this without dancing around the room. I dare you.

Vid Title: The Walk
Vidder: sarashina_nikki
Link: http://community.livejournal.com/merlinxarthur/611790.html
Comments: The journey of Merlin and Arthur from enemies to friends to lovers. Fantastic editing.

Vid Title: Reach Out and Touch Me
Vidder: solanyxe
Link: http://community.livejournal.com/merlinxarthur/604968.html
Comments: Metaphorical shooting of unicorns and lots of mutual fantasizing.

Vid Title: Something Beautiful
Vidder: saucery
Link: http://community.livejournal.com/merlinxarthur/477610.html
Comments: Merlin serves Arthur, and Arthur serves Camelot. The two things are not as unconnected as it might seem.

Vid Title: Almost Lover
Vidder: bloodfusion
Link: http://community.livejournal.com/cityflames/847.html
Comments: Gah. This vid has actually made me tear up more than once, which is quite a feat.

Vid Title: Untouched
Vidder: solanyxe
Link: http://community.livejournal.com/merlinxarthur/369379.html
Comments: UST levels about on par with the show.

Vid Title: Every Fear You've Ever Faced
Vidder: the_orange_nin
Link: http://the-orange-nin.livejournal.com/56727.html

Vid Title: Only In My Mind
Vidder: lightofshadows6
Link: http://community.livejournal.com/merlinxarthur/121584.html#cutid1
Comment: Unrequited Merlin/Arthur. A little heavy on the effects, but still worth watching.

Vid Title: All Fall Down
Vidder: bleu4bleu
Link: http://bleu4bleu.livejournal.com/55542.html
Comments: Not a whole lot of original clips, which makes it a bit boring, but the song makes up for it. ;)

Vid Title: So Macho
Vidder: dingogrrl
Link: http://dingogrrl.livejournal.com/495273.html
Comments: OMG, I cannot count the number of times I've watched this, and I still nearly piss myself laughing every time. UNABASHED BRADLEY WORSHIP.

Vid Title: Something in the Wind
Vidder: nel_ani
Pairing:Merlin/Arthur, unrequited Morgana/Arthur
Link: http://nel-ani.livejournal.com/374296.html?mode=reply
Comments: This is the only non-exclusively Merlin/Arthur vid on my list. That alone should tell you how good it is. ;)

Vid Title: I Go With Him
Vidder: the_orange_nin
Link: http://the-orange-nin.livejournal.com/74691.html
Comments: Short, but very visually appealing and nice use of overlays.

Vid Title: Trust Me
Vidder: rainchild
Link: http://community.livejournal.com/merlinxarthur/241304.html
Comments: Not one of my favorites, and there's a weird bit going on with the effects halfway through, but still worth at least one viewing.

Vid Title: I Love You Anyway
Vidder: dingogrrl
Link: http://dingogrrl.livejournal.com/494045.html
Comments: "It's unbelievably hard to love you, but I love you anyway." This is another one that I've watched a couple dozen times. Silly, yet fitting view of the boys' relationship.

Okay, hopefully all my links work. It's 3:00 in the morning, now, so I'm going to get back to studying... *hands*

Re: MASSIVE LIST O' VID RECS, PART 2

[ras-elased.livejournal.com]

Also, I should probably mention that I have all of these on my hard drive already, if you don't want/have time to DL all the ones you want to show. Let me know, and I'll totally stick them on my USB drive or something.

Re: MASSIVE LIST O' VID RECS, PART 2

[ras-elased.livejournal.com]

Ha. This is what happens when I do things at 3:00 in the morning.

I just now saw your other post saying you were gonna burn these to a DVD, and I know you've got enough to do without adding to the list, so do you want me to burn a DVD of this? I'm not sure how to do it, but I could give it a shot. *g*

Re: MASSIVE LIST O' VID RECS, PART 2

[solar-cat.livejournal.com]

Looking at your list, I've already got a few of these on the DVD, so if you don't mind that not all of them are included, I think we're okay on the vid show (it's already running over 2hrs!! 0_0 ). You can feel free to bring them on USB drives, though, as we may end up running the Vid Show off my computer anyway (we were having trouble with the DVD in my Playstation, but it runs fine on my laptop, so....).

SEE YOU SOON!!!!!!! (We're leaving here in like, 15 minutes, so if you reply and I don't get back to you, sorry!!!)
