fandom: Doctor Who
music: 'Begin', by Ben Lee

spoilers: Through Torchwood 2x08 and Doctor Who 4x13.
notes: This is a (somewhat substantial) reworking of one of the earliest vids I made, and the first I posted publicly. An improvement, I hope, now that I can do things like maintain correct aspect ratios and cut to a different clip every once in a while.

ST Rewatch, Vid Recs, TARDIS Big Bang

A little late again, but in last week's Star Trek Rewatch, The Corbomite Maneuver, we had lots of discussion here. cho_malfoy has a reaction post here, and tmtrx has thoughts and icon bases here.

Next up: Mudd's Women (... oh dear)

Two vid recs!

sol_se made Dark Room, which is a Gwen-centric Merlin vid and thus a rare jewel to be treasured. There's some great musicality and a lot of wonderful parallels. OH GWEN. ♥!

thingswithwings made We Go Together, which is a multifandom watersports vid for kink_bingo and it is playful and funny and very enjoyable, very much recommended! Also, I always like it when you see the same songs being used for vids in ways that are very different, and so it amuses me that where I made a vid about how Team Enterprise go together, thingswithwings made a vid about the joys of going together in a rather different sense, which I think is great.

Finally, TARDIS Big Bang is live! There are stories from all corners of the Whoverse and lots and lots of art. I have many tabs open! \o/

Although I ended up being a flunking flunker who flunks on writing big bangs this year, I did switch to doing accompanying vidding instead. Here's the story I was working with:

The Abyss Gazes Also by scarletsherlock
Supernatural, Torchwood, New Who, Hellboy | PG-13 | gen | 38,000 words

On a lonely night in autumn, Sam Winchester, who hunts monsters and supernatural forces with his brother, Dean, meets a strange man in a blue box. That night changes his life forever. Ten years later, Sam and Dean are dealing with the consequences of Dean's deal with Hell when Captain Jack Harkness enters their lives. He recruits them to join the mysterious Torchwood, and their partner agency, the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense. At the Bureau, the boys discover the fabled Spear of Destiny, which may be their one hope to save Dean...until they travel to the Torchwood Hub, where Sam reunites with the Doctor, who he hopes can help save Dean from the forces of darkness before it's too late.

Spoilers: Doctor Who season 4 general spoilers, Supernatural S2/3 general spoilers.

You can find the vid here, which is probably most accurately described as an extended trailer.
