SGU fanvids
Nov. 20th, 2009 01:04 pmSo, we're not even to the halfway mark for season one, and already there are way more vids for SGU than I would have expected at this point. What is truly fascinating to me is that because canon is so limited, most of these vids use the same clips; by necessity they have to. And yet, each vid uses those same images to quite different effect.

This is, insofar as I can tell, the first vid for the fandom! It's short and sweet, and I love the song. This isn't a narrative vid, per se, but I think it really highlights the desperation and frantic nature of Destiny's plight, mostly through the song choice and the rapid cuts. It reminds me a great deal of a movie trailer or promo.

This vid is so well edited to reflect the lyrics of the song, sometimes quite literally (as in the scene with Rush). What I love about this vid is that it emphasizes that they must all work together to survive while also acknowledging the tensions that undercut that solidarity. Very finely made.

This is another wonderful editing job. Very moving. I love the examination of character here, particularly the moment where Eli is identified as the one who stands up for what's right. Bonus points for awesome use of show dialogue.

OMG, this vid makes me so happy!!!!!!! I love the pacing, and I especially love the footage that plays over the section of the song that talks about saying goodbye. This is one you'll watch over and over.

This is the only vid of this set that tells a story that is different from the one we're seeing onscreen. It's a Young/Rush vid that does a really good job of creating a relationship between these two men from such a small amount of screentime for all the characters. The song seems an odd choice, particularly in the first like twenty seconds of the vid, but stick with it because I think ultimately, it works really well.
