1 | (Don't Ever) Tame Your Demons | Foomatic | Stranger Things | Arsonist's Lullabye, Hozier | 04:31 | There are so many gorgeous visuals in this tv show, and it's always a challenge to try and take a 10 ep show and cram it into a short vid. I felt like I showcased some of the best scenes from the series in this vid, all while maintaining the story as it unfolded in Season One. | vid on YouTube |
2 | You Found Me | Foomatic | Slumdog Millionaire | You Found Me, The Fray | 04:14 | I was taken aback at how much I loved this movie and how the song really highlighted Jamal's journey. His story was told in such a unique way in the film. It's one of of the few movies that I had a super strong urge to vid. | vid on YouTube |
3 | We Found Love | Foomatic | William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet | We Found Love, Rihanna | 03:33 | This movie was pretty much my whole aethetic as a senior in high school in the late Nineties. I was obsessed with it and with Claire Danes. Baz Lurman's visual extravagance in this movie was a thing of beauty and I wanted to harness all of that in this vid. | vid on YouTube |
4 | Here With Me | Foomatic | Interstellar | Here With Me, Susie Suh | 04:04 | This is probably the oddest choice for me as a vidder. Interstellar was such a long and involved movie, but when walked out of there I knew I wanted to use this song, and that the real story for me was the relationship between Cooper and Murph. I hadn't learned how to separate the dialogue from the background sounds, so I'm a bit unhappy with that, but I think content wise, it's still a great vid. | vid on YouTube |
5 | Clexa: Princess Bride Edition | Foomatic | The 100, Princess Bride | Storybook Love, Mark Knopfler | 02:08 | Listen, I was reeling from the death of Lexa and needed a little happiness in my life okay? Plus Princess Bride is one of my all time favorite movies. | vid on YouTube |
6 | You Gotta Be | Foomatic | One Day At A Time | You Gotta Be, Kiera Weathers | 02:56 | Honestly, I didn't know if I could pull this one off. There's no creative camera work, a soundtrack of canned laughter, and zero aesthetically appealing visuals, so I honestly didn't know what I would end up with. The story will always be king for me, and it pretty much keeps this vid together without the cinematic flair that I'm used to. | vid on YouTube |
7 | Hush | Foomatic | Buffy the Vampire Slayer | Allegretto, Bond | 04:04 | Lol oh man, these are my vidding roots. The whole Idea of a tv episode where no one could talk was just brilliant to me. The music had great swells and lulls and I could picture exactly what scenes I wanted to use to highlight those moments. | vid on YouTube |
8 | Raise a Little Hell | Foomatic | Wynonna Earp | Raise a Little Hell, Dorothy | 02:32 | This was such a fun departure from my normal "beat me to death the narratives that make me feel too much" style. Wynonna Earp is at it's best when it focuses on the hijinks and witty banter of all the main players. | vid on YouTube |
