themadpokerTwo recs today: one old and one new!
Between the Bars This vid is from last year. I downloaded it then and I still sometimes get the urge to rewatch it so I figured I might as well rec. This is one where the lyrics just fit so PERFECTLY you have to wonder if someone wasn't thinking about the Arthurian legend when they wrote it. My favourite part of the vid's got to be this.
The people you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
Or that push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still
I love the way she cuts to footage of other incarnations of the Arthur legend (the people you've been before) and the idea of Merlin pushing them down. It really gives a sense of history to the legend. And while the song choice is brilliant this is one of the vids where you can watch it on mute (I just did, my mom's asleep) and the story is still clear to you. It reminds me a little of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
obsessive24's Red with the hint of tragedy lurking around the edges -- the story's happened before and it'll happen again. Definitely give it a shot, it's one of my top vids.
Watershed And this is the one that's brand new! Fandom's produced quite a few Morgana vids, most of them brilliant. They do tend to use alot of the same footage though, probably because in season 2 especially there isn't that much Morgana footage to use. This still manages to feel fresh to me though. It's a vid that benefits from rewatching, I've seen it a few times and I still don't think I've caught everything it's trying to say. I particularly like the section tying Morgana in with the other magical women of Camelot. I think this is my favourite vid to come out of Vividcon this year.
