Order | Vid Title | Vidder(s) | Fandom | Artist | Runtime | Why I chose it | link to vid |
1 | It's All Coming Back to Me Now | Franzeska | Miami Vice | Celine Dion | 04:51 | This is my recap of one of the most OTT presumed dead plots ever. The song has a bonkerscrazy official video about a ghost/memory haunting Celine, though the lyrics sound more like amnesia. Luckily, Miami Vice had both! | vid on AO3 |
2 | (Dis)Closure | Franzeska | Speed Racer | Thomas Dolby | 02:19 | The worst part about Speed Racer bombing is that movieverse Speed never does find out that his brother is alive. This music is from the soundtrack to Toys, a movie with another excellent death fakeout. | vid on AO3 |
3 | I Get the World: The World Gets Me | Franzeska | L.A. Confidential | Scissor Sisters | 03:46 | This movie 100% got me: I honestly thought Bud was dead and Lynn was ending up with Ed. I attempted to recapture that epic feeling in this vid. | vid on AO3 |
4 | Skeleton Key | Franzeska | Sicario | Dessa | 03:38 | Matt is first ordered to kill Alejandro, then helplessly watches him get gunned down... and then there's THAT ENDING, OH MY GOD. Sicario 3, STAT! | vid on AO3 |
5 | The Bright Side of the Apocalypse | Franzeska | Constructed reality (Drive) | fun. | 03:16 | Drive looked good, wasted its best actor, and was ultimately a posterchild of everything that's wrong with neo-noir. I won a pack of monster effects at a post production meetup, and this unholy constructed reality vidbunny clawed its way out of the ground. | vid on AO3 |
6 | High Treason | Franzeska | The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. | Ennio Morricone | 06:00 | It was hard to capture all of the feelings that Brisco's finale gave me, but here's my shot. The first piece of music is from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, the most famous and classic of Spaghetti Westerns. The second piece of music is also by Ennio Morricone, but it comes from My Name is Nobody, one of the final Spaghetti Westerns, and an insane parody where the title--the main character's pseudonym--exists purely to set up an elaborate fake death joke. | vid on AO3 |
7 | Who Wants (to Vid This Song) | Franzeska | Sherlock | Queen | 01:37 | Killa said, facetiously, that any song is up for grabs... except this one, which belongs to Highlander. Fandom was deep in the throes of Richenbach Feels and making many dreadful vids with the same three shots of John Watson over and over and over. The more of them I saw, the funnier they got. | vid on AO3 |
8 | Ball Gags, Brownie Mix, and Clown Porn | Franzeska | Deadpool | Irene Cara | 03:59 | Deadpool made me very angry by fridging Vanessa. And then they fixed everything, even Wade's "sugarbear". WHAT ARE THESE FEELINGS??? (And why are so many of them about Josh Brolin...?) | vid on AO3 |
9 | It's the End of the World: Must Be Tuesday | Franzeska | Haven | Great Big Sea | 02:43 | People think I got into this fandom because Killa's vid, Soldier, was so shippy. Actually, I got into this fandom because Killa's vid made it look like there was canon temporary character death. Yes. It's one four-second clip. But that's like chum to a shark, okay? As this vid demonstrates, HOLY SHIT was there a lot of temporary character death in Haven. (If only all of it had been...) | vid on AO3 |
10 | Who Will Still Care? | Franzeska | The Wild Wild West | Hanson | 03:57 | This is my tribute to all of the times James West and Artemus Gordon die and come back, pretend to kill each other, or have their deaths faked for them via Mad Science. From the color seasons. That I remembered the episode titles of offhand. Did you remember that the lyrics to MMMBop are actually super depressing? I sure didn't! | vid on AO3 |
