It's time for [community profile] rec_cember and I am starting off with some vid recs!

Sometimes a vid is not just a great vid but also introduces you to a new favorite song that gets added to your repeat playlist and becomes forever inextricable from the vid. Or that happens to me at least. Here are 11 vids that did that to me.

Autoclave - Due South by blessyouwatson (paramountie). Most recent instance of this. (Comment on AO3!)

Sorrow - Captain America by Trelkez. I think this was my first introduction to The National and I love The National.

Back with more Arcane! [personal profile] tribble_of_tarth just shared a fabulous vid which reminded me that vidders are doing amazing fanvids of this show and I wanted to share some of my faves.

THE Viktor vid. Obsessed. Downloaded the song to listen on repeat. Watch in 4K! (Fast cuts!)

Soft season 1 JayVik vid! Loved this 3 years ago and still love it now!

My girl Jinx!! This was actually made specifically for me as part of [community profile] womansplace but I don't remember if I shared it here. It's also posted on AO3.

[community profile] equinox_exchange vids are released! I love the costume party theme. Media about different eras is my jam. I've watched a few from fandoms I know and they are fab.

Quick rec: The Bullpen - Elizabeth Swann being extremely badass in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Wow. I really like the quick clips. I can only dream of ever being able to edit like this.

I did manage to finish my treat and I hope the recipient likes it! On to my next vid project!

This brought me 3 minutes and 49 seconds of joy in an otherwise hellish week.

Joyous fun with superheroes and their teams. This covers a large range of fandoms and the selection of parallels scenes for the general thematic arcs from regular life to superhero origin story and ensuing adventures is superb.

I can't believe there are already so many amazing vids in this fandom when the source material has only existed for 3 weeks at this point.

come home to my heart by h.j. - But it's just a supercut of us

And then this one by Leanne actually is just a supercut of all the times Crowley calls Aziraphale 'angel' which I may have mentioned is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to me.

From Eden by HowlingNerdWolf - I like the song choice and character work. Quality lyrics to scene match up.

Don't Stop Me Now by Spellbound - Queen! Fun. Nice work with timing and parallels.

I've been watching vids as I attempt to learn to vid and these are absolutely amazing.

Watch The Clone Wars by anikenobi - Why you should watch Star Wars: The Clone Wars in under 2 minutes. I can't figure out if there's a way to embed from tumblr but you should watch this. It's beautiful. It hurts me that one of the OP tags on it is #i suck at video editing.

Fan.tasia by Lindsay McCutcheon - 30 years of Disney mashup. Extremely joyful. I don't understand how these transitions were done but they are fantastic. This whole vid is fantastic.

WALK THE MOON - Shut Up and Dance (Movie dance compilation) by MsTabularasa - Dance compilation is an accurate description but it does not do justice to the joy that is this vid. If you need a smile, this is the vid to watch.
