vidukon show: same song, different source [recs please!]

[such_heights]

The show I'm putting together for Vidukon this year is called Same Song, Different Source, which is just what it sounds like. I want take a look at the different ways vidders use the same audio to different effects and how different the tone of a vid can be based on editing choices/lyric interpretation etc.

This is a harder one that usual to solicit recs for, but I thought I'd give it a go! I'd love recs for pairs of vids that use the same song (can definitely be different covers/instrumental version etc) where there's some kind of interesting contrast, whether in the source, the mood, the interpretation of the lyrics, etc. Alternatively, recs for single vids that use a song in an unusual way could be helpful, if it's likely the song has been vidded multiple times.

The more the merrier, so any ideas that spring to mind, I'd love to hear them! Thanks!

(I'm just going to go back to having a crisis over how to pick only two Handlebars vids.)

How about Starships and Starships: The Monochromatic Remix? (though I don't know if it's quite what you want since the latter was intentionally a remix of the former)

Also: Tonight I'm Fucking You (X-men vid by kuwdora) and Tonight (I'm F**king You) (White Collar vid by talitha78).

I didn't know there are other Handlebars vids other than the fantastic Doctor Who one by flummery. Would you mind linking me to whichever other ones you're considering? I'm curious now!

I don't know if this is very helpful, but I distinctly remember two vids to Sam Philips' "One Day Late" -- one for Firefly and the other one for Heroes. However, I can't provide any additional details: I'd stored both vids on my old laptop, which went kaablooey a while ago...

There are 2 vids to "Here it goes again":

Your "Can't Go Back Now" vid, and mine! They do quite different things if I recall.

[sasha_feather]

There are 2 vids to "Poker Face," one by crysothemis, SGA. Post now seems to be locked. :[

PASIV FACE by kuwdora, Inception:

"Heads Will Roll" by kiki_miserychic (Misfits) and hollywoodgrrl (Game of Thrones) springs to mind. Made for Club Vivid in two successive years.

Speaking of hollywoodgrrl, one of my favorite alternate takes on a song is Boulevard of Broken Songs by hollywoodgrrl (Doctor Who) and Shati (Buffy).

I know Wistful Fever (Fabella) vidded All That I Am to Harry Potter, and Obsessive24 did it to a Chinese soap opera whose name escapes me. But both were extremely good, and very different.

Not sure how you feel about mashups and remixes, but I've vidded a couple of alt versions of a song like that in part because I didn't want to step on the toes of a vidder who worked with the original song. And that ended up leading me to a version that worked better for my fandom/idea. Bop Radar and I both vidded Clint Eastwood, Anoel and I both vidded Just Dance, and Dierdrecee and I both vidded Thrift Shop.

no duplicates spring to mind immediately, but i KNOW there's a ton of multiply-vidded Dessa songs. like, every Dessa song. later (if nobody else has already done it) i will make a list of all the Dessa vids I know and I'm sure other people will know others to the same songs.

[shati]

I have fewer duplicates than I thought. D: Maybe some are on other hard drives.

Anoel and I both used What Makes You Beautiful:

http://shati.dreamwidth.org/18435.html (Sungkyunkwan Scandal)

I'm sure there are 800 other vids to these songs I just don't know where I put them:

Radioactive: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=191093 (Eva rebuilds)

ShinAMV has used a bunch of Florence and the Machine with various anime

Bohemian Like You: http://bananainpyjamas.livejournal.com/151683.html (Tiger & Bunny)

And also ... Evanescence.

[katlinel]

Club Tik Tok by diannelamerc and Tik Tok to the Future and Star Trek (TOS): Tik Tok. I think there are probably loads more.

And here's a Doctor Who (Eleven) vid to Radioactive by Imagine Dragons, as that song was mentioned above.

[mresundance]

Sorry if this turns out to be self serving!

Shake it Out (Thor) by obsessive24 and Shake It Out (The New World) by me.

And also: Party in the Midlands (Legend of the Seeker) by milly and Debauchery in the UK (Byron) by me.

What a great idea for a panel. I never finished, but I once attempted to make two Merlin vids to Mary Chapin Carpenter's "I Take My Chances"--the original radio release is a peppy up-tempo ode to fearlessness and really fits the first two seasons, but the acoustic version she released later, in which a few lyrics have changed and you can hear her age and the cost of having taken risks in the song, and yet the singer keeps on taking them, is much more poignant and fits the later seasons. I still think risk-taking is a fascinating topic in that show.

You have a lot of great recommendations here, but I want to add
Glass Coffin by giandujakisss (http://giandujakiss.livejournal.com/?skip=20&tag=my%20vids) for VR.5 &
Waking World by Di Wey (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uuJePU2-Yk) for Morgana & Guinevere in Merlin

They really do use the song to vastly different effects. Generally I find YouTube is a great resource for finding multiple vids & canons set to the same song.

Good luck!

Whoops I forgot to do this earlier! Here are some vids to Radioactive that I like:

1) welcome to the new age by kilia93 Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock BBC + Guy Ritchie Sherlock) totally doing nifty things with two source time-travel echoes

2) Mass Effect Radioactive by flaming 8 studios (Mass Effect) on the nose, but sometimes you need on the nose

3) BatFamily // Radioactive by NightArrowDC (multi-source Batfamily) to me it reads as a critique of Batman - he's the one who is radioactive - but I'm possibly reading too much into it)

4) Radioactive | The Incredible Hulk by Irene Snufkin (Ed Norton Incredible Hulk) because a) Bruce Banner and b) any set of radioactive vids must necessarily include a totally literal interpretation and the Spidey ones I've seen are all boring

5) RadioAkshun ( Evangelion AMV ft Radioactive) Anime Boston/Sakura-Con Winner by IleiaAMVs (Evangelion) because it is gorgeously edited wow

6) Godzilla Tribute by Clinton Bigelow (Godzilla) because a) Godzilla and b) the entire intro is mushroom clouds so like. there you are. If mushroom clouds don't appeal, chuverdragon made another strong contender in the Godzilla category

7) Some NBA Radioactive vids! Oh man there are so many it's ridic. I <3 this one because Steph Curry.

Someday I will do an all-Radioactive vid recs list or vid show. There will be a lot of Radioactive in it.
