icepixieSince I did some Yuletide recs this year, why not go for the double with some Festivids recs?
You Might Think, Bringing Up Baby - Definitely my favorite. The Cars are not the first band I would think of for a vid for this film, but it works wonderfully. This vid captures all the slapstickish, screwbally fun of the movie.
All is Not Lost, Babylon 5 - Everything that is inspiring and epic and joyful about B5, all in one vid.
A Butterfly Dreaming, The Fall - I don't think I ever actually made it all the way through this movie, but it sure is pretty, and this vid is also gorgeous.
Outside the Box and Papa's Got a Brand New Bag, Maru the Cat - I admit, I was skeptical that the YouTube videos of Maru could be made into a fanvid, but both of these disabused me of that skepticism very quickly. Trust me on this, they are awesome.
You Make Me Feel So Young, Mary Poppins - Frank Sinatra and this movie? MEANT TO BE. The dancing is perfectly aligned with the music.
Bad Moon Rising, Beetlejuice - Excellent pairing of song and creepy Burtony movie. Tee hee!
Extraordinary, Legion of Extraordinary Dancers - LXD is a web series I've never quite managed to get into, but this vid distills everything I liked about the episodes I saw.
Since I'm reccing, have the soundtrack to The Crimson Wing: Mystery of the Flamingos. If you watched the "Address is Approximate" video I linked to a few days ago, you'll recognize one of the tracks; the rest are very much in the same vein. My personal favorite is "Life of the Bird," which has been excellent background music for a Sekrit Writing Project.*
* Actually it's not terribly secret, I just enjoy being mysterious. It's this sci-fi/adventure/romance short story that grabbed me by the neck and wouldn't let go. Updates as events warrant.
