REVIEWS

Reviews By Andrea

Born To Kill by Ringwench - Best Video
This is a mesmerizing vid that sucks you in and grips you tight until the very chilling end.
An inspired song choice, with apt lyrics for the Winchester Family, and you exploit every aspect of the epic music with the some carefully selected clips that reinforce the mood & theme of the piece. Supernatural is so beautifully shot and you have taken full advantage. I loved the gun motif throughout and the appearance of Metallicar as the guitar cords play as a transition from one scene to another.
Being a sucker for internal motion - I especially liked the lights on the house at 0.17, the bullet hitting the Vampire at 1.59, Megs eyes at 2.39 - oh there were more but there's no point listing. From the shot of Dean at 2.10 it moves into the instrumental section and the suspense builds, unable to tear away your eyes, the goosebumps hit as the strings rise and John lifts his head at 3.28. The closing scenes are so intense & unrelenting - almost to the point of unbearable, with a finale that leaves you staring at the screen not quite believing your eyes. It is without doubt the best Supernatural vid I have seen to date and can't wait to see more from you.

My Little Drum by Bradcpu - Best Video RU & Judge's Choice
A challenge in itself to vid a show that is so much, albeit entertaining, talking heads, you have successfully created a unique and fascinating video that captures the character of House, his team and sense that it's not just the patients who undergo healing. It really touches the emotional heartstrings to see this rather tragic figure of House and his inner struggle but it also has it's moments that are poignant and truly uplifting.
A wonderful, unique music choice - as the piano starts you can immediately visualize House playing at home - and so there he is at 0.35. Subtle and perfect use of internal motion to piano notes and vocal beats, such as the scan at 0.04, the seizures and the drop of fluid into the vial.I loved the motif of the ball tossing and the pill in the air, your use of overlays 'withholds pain control' and the matched clips of House stumbling just like the patient. A superb vid that gives you something more each time you watch it.

My Little Drum By Bradcpu - Best Video RU
The choice of music struck me initially as highly unusual but is inspired; the timing and the 'flow' of the piano are perfectly reflected in the cuts and the use of internal motion within the clips used. These all combine to lend this vid an epic feel.
The choice of clips is brilliantly made, especially in a show which essentially revolves around exposition. Avoiding the obvious choices makes this vid stand out from the crowd. The use of effects and overlays is subtly done – 1:03-07, the text 'withholds pain control' over the clips is a prime example – and add to the finished product with that subtlety.
This vid feels like a journey, a progression, and is a perfect example of character exploration and growth.

Born To Kill by Ringwench - Best Video & Judge's Choice
Oh how to review this without either just saying "Awesome!" or giving you a ten thousand word dissertation… On the 9th of January, I posted this to my LiveJournal: "I need to stop watching the fanvid that's entered in this round of the Art of Vidding Awards which, barring an even better one, will be getting my vote for every damn category it's in. It's just that damn good and every time I watch it (which is a lot) I got more and more hooked. Now I just have to make thedothatgirl agree... *g*"
I didn't have to 'make' Andrea agree to anything because although I didn't mention this vid by name, fandom, or give any clues, she knew exactly which one I was talking about.
I could list my absolute favourite moments from this vid, but that would take forever because there is no part of this that I don't love. Of particular note though, 1:06 – placing the clip of young Dean carrying Sam to safety in the middle of the shot of the two of them badly wounded but together, with the lyrics "So I'm with him". Sends a shiver up my spine even just thinking about how perfect that scene is. 2:15, the pulses of white light over Dean – a theme that is repeated from hereon in and which is so subtly used that one might believe those flashes had always been in the shots. 2:33, flashing up the shots of Meg over Dean. Dude, you spawned a fic bunny in my head right there. 3:29. Demon John. This was brilliantly done. Just… awesome.
And the ending: The crash. The overlays. The music cutting off. The hairs on the back of my neck are still standing on end.
