Many thanks to kadymae who gave us the song and the fandom, which let us do something completely different for our normal style: fast and intense, flipping in and out of timelines though referential clips, pulling out all the stops. The vid challenged us, and in the we ended up with something that we're quite proud of. Thanks, KadyMae, for choosing us to make this vid. We had a blast.

The vid is up on our BAM site, though you'll had to set up a login to view it, and it's embedded under the cut. Hopefully, I've done the embedding right, otherwise it is at the above link on BAM ( here )

I have to credit someone in the Vividcon 2009 vid review for the description of this vid, as I had no idea for what to write for it myself. Unfortunately, I didn't catch their name, but I loved the concept. The vid is now up on our BAM site, and embedded under the cut.

Summary: No, seriously. Is she really going out with him?
Fandom SGA

Tons of thanks to our betas, with special thanks to both gwyn and kass. This is a short vid, and not subtle. (So not subtle). When TPTB slam you with a meta-story, really, what can you do?

This vid is now up on our imeem site, and embedded under the cut. There are some hiccups when streaming it (as usual), but the xvid format is better than most: ( here )

Tons of thanks to our betas, the cannibals. Like most of our recent vids, it's short, funny, with just a hint of meta. At 30 seconds, it's the shortest vid I think we've ever done.

This vid is now up on our imeem site, as well as on our website. There are some hiccups when streaming it, but it is watchable ( here )

Summary: Charlie' s not just a prodigy and a genius -- he's a Math Prof Rock Star!
Fandom Numb3rs
Format: WMV

We started this vid back before Sandy started chemo and I started cycling; even though it's a very short vid, neither of us had the energy to finish it at the time. It was great to be able to pick it back up and get it done for Escapade, and we had a lot of fun getting back into the swing of vidding together. Tons of thanks to rosawestphalen for pointing out the song.

This vid is up on our imeem account if you want to stream it.

killabeez said something like:

You know what would be cool? The vid version of the 5 stories meme. So, with that thought, here are 5 favorite vids that I have done. I'm not going to say that these are the best or always my favorites, but for the moment, these are the ones

1. Lives in the Balance, Wiseguy, Character Study for Roger Lococo,on our vid site
I've always loved Roger, and I assume most people know the backstory on this vid. It was the first one I ever picked the song for and had the vision for. sherrold did all of the button-pushing as it was first made during the 2-VCR era, while I was on bed rest with pregnancy-induced blood pressure problems. It was a great way to keep me entertained.

The version on our vid site was re-cut from the DVDs last year. I'm hoping to post it up on Imeem later today.

2. Hair, Multimedia, bouncy fun con vid, not available on-line
Unfortunately, this vid will probably never be available on-line as it has just too much source to track down. We scoured fandom for a year pulling all of the source together, asking people to bring tapes with them when they came up to Seattle to stay. My favorite two clips in it are the slow hair flip with Armond, and the slow one with Castillo pushing his dripping wet hair out of his face as he stands in the water. I love the way those two moments are so slow in contrast to the rest of the vid that it just re-frames the whole thing. They are perfect hair-fan moments.

3. He's the Man, The Sentinel, Character Study for Jim, not available on-line
I was at sherrold's office to take her to lunch one day, and she said, "you have to listen to this." Then she played the comedy bit, and when it was over, I blinked and said "you know, that would make a great vid." We dragged Jo into it, and did shuttle vidding; I don't think the three of us were ever in the same room at the same time while we worked on this vid. I loved how we were able to show Jim's two sides, the action-hero and the girly-man. I have such a fondness for that particular combination.

Have I mentioned how much I love contrasts? I'd say Bodie, Jim, and John Sheppard are all in the "psychokiller or pretty, pretty princess" vein.

4. Voodoo, Invisible Man, Character study/relationship study about obsession, grainy imeem streaming version or on our vid site Originally, Sandy and I had a completely different vid plotted out, but we laid the first clip down--an eye image--then looked at each other and went "okay, cool. We are going someplace else." I loved the way the obsession between the two men and the way that quicksilver connects them

5. Stress, Stargate Atlantis, Character study for Rodney McKay, grainy imeem streaming version or on our vid site
I originally wanted to use this song for Buffy, but it never really fit. I guess that's because it was waiting around for Rodney to arrive, as the song is the perfect fit for him.

Honorable Mentions:

Hippie Boy, The Sentinel, character study for Blair, not available on-line.
This one is really Jo's brainchild, as she had the song, but I got to work on it and learned so much in the doing. Jo has a great eye for camera details. We had to work for it as Blair's visual angst generally ranged from somewhat bemused to pretty darn bummed.

Wipeout, SG-1/Farscape Parallels,on our vid site
Ha! We did this before Cameron and Valla showed up on SG-1, and knowing that I did that fills me with unholy glee. Essentially, I made a vid that pulled the Farscape characters into the SG-1 universe, and then TPTB did that FOR REALS. Is that not awesome or what?

Same Thing in Reserve, The Sentinel, constructed reality, not available on-line.
We had a lot of fun building the universe where Blair and Jim were outed, plus we got to use Katherine's really cool fader to do the transitions! This was a pre-digital vid, made with 2 VCRs and we needed a whole 'nother machine to do the crossfades that just take a widget in premier anymore. (Hey you kids, out of my begonias!)

Okay, writing this up was a lot of fun. Thanks for tagging me, Killa!

ETA: Forgotten vids? I forgot all of the ones we did that were HL! DOH!

We had a lot of fun making this vid, but a huge amount of problems outputting it. We need to thank both killabeez and z_rayne for their help. (Killa went to extra lengths for us to get the Escapade copy to work, and Zoe ripped the copy from the Escapade DVD and is hosting it on her site, so we don't have to worry about bandwidth.)

In addition, extra thanks to elynross, rosawestphalen, and melina123 for betaing, yet more help, and emotional support.

You can also download the vid via our Clucking Belles Vid Site, plus some of the other vids that we've done.
