This is fan_this's fault.

Lucy's Vid Reviews

Because sometimes, you wanna know if it's worth it.

Hangin' By a Moment by gweneth_syeira

Score: 2/5

This vid started off very nicely. It fit lyrics well, but not overly so. Used what little Ten material there was well.
BUT!
This vidder does not follow the Six Second Rule. Several shots go one quite a bit without a cut. Even if the vidder intended to not cut, it looks lazy and this otherwise good vid suffers. Also, too many colorizations.
So... vidder has potential, but still needs more work. *shall be watching the vidder*

Should I Download: No.

Doctor Jones by doctor_who_fan

Score: 4/5

Hee. Maybe this vid should be given a 3/5 instead, but it's just so fun. Not the best vid by technical standpoint with a handful of rough cuts, but so endearing with clip choice. Made me laugh quite a few times.

Should I Download: Yes, and the YSI link there is dead, so I'll upload it soon. thank me for uploading.

Slowdown by chicafrom3

Score: 4/5

A Mickey vid. A good Mickey vid to a perfect song with a vidder who wants you to understand him more. Even if you don't like Mickey, watch it. It's good.

Should I DL: If you like, but the vidder put if on youtube too.

Clocks by fieryhands

Score: 6/5

BEST DW VID YET.
*cough* Anyway, it's got it all. Makes a some unpopular song rock. Best editing I've seen in any fandom. Excellent handling of multiple Doctors and companions.
ETA: The point of this vid is to show that all the Doctors, no matter what their appearances of personalities are, are the same insane time-traveling alien. That? Is brilliant.

Should I DL: If you don't, I'll bap you with a pillow.


End of the first vid review.

Whoot! I haven't seen two of these...you are so my fanvid pimp FOREVA.

Bow before the Fannish Enabler! Muhaha.

[leaper182.livejournal.com]

Y'know, I haven't seen anyone rate fanvids like this, but I definitely like the idea! Thanks for the heads up.

*downloads "Clocks"*

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

If you like this, link it in your LJ? My reason for asking: I cannot link at the comms. I'd end up killed or on FandomWank. So I rely on word-of-mouth.

[leaper182.livejournal.com]

*blinks in surprise*

I'm fairly sure I've ended up on FandomWank before, but I'm not on journalfen.net, or wherever the heck FW is. As for you being killed, why? I know that people rec all kinds of stuff on their LJs and whatnot all the time...

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

But if it's at a comm, someone will see their stuff here and Dramatics will ensue.

If you don't want to link, that's fine. But it'd help me out, that's all, especially because I plan to do more of these reviews.

[leaper182.livejournal.com]

*blinkblink*

Did you send the person who did the 2/5 video a concrit of what you did or didn't like about it?

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

I did. But I was nicer in the comment than in my review here.

[leaper182.livejournal.com]

Ohhhhhh, okay.

*finishes watching THE CHRISTMAS INVASION*

Dude, that was a total reversal!

*cuddles Ten plushie, and then looks at it critically*

I swear, every time I look at Ten, I keep thinking of Barty Crouch Jr. from GOF, and thinking of David Tennant as all snakelike. Eeek.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, fanvid reviews. Excellent ideas.

Also, "Clocks" is brilliant. Yes.

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

*bows*

Shankyuu.

I only wish I could rely on more than fannish word-of-mouth. If I post this at the comms, I'll be on fandomwank in ten minutes. *sigh* Why is our fandom crazy?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Well, I could link you in my LJ and all, but my flist is fucking huge and you do risk Dramatics then.

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

I'd appreciate it. Your folk are nice and would take honest reviews with a grain of salt.

[iristigerlily.livejournal.com]

This is a great idea!

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

Why, thank you! *smile* Let's hope I can do it again. *looks pointedly at entire fandom*

You may all ready be aware of this, but the_reel has done some very in depth reviews (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=the_reel&keyword=Doctor+Who&filter=all) of Doctor Who Fan Vids, and a small number of recs (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=the_reel&keyword=Recommend&filter=all) as well.

They're always on the lookout for new reviewers.

(Disclaimer: I've had my one Doctor Who vid reviewed there (http://community.livejournal.com/the_reel/25090.html).

[lucia-tanaka.livejournal.com]

Oh, I didn't know they were doing DW vids now. *glee* That's so awesome. I shall check it out (and check out your vid while I'm at it).
