[flummery]

Our Vividcon Premieres vid is up now:

Vid title: Handlebars
Song artist: Flobots
Fandom: Doctor Who (2005)
Vidders: Seah and Margie (Flummery)
Vidder website: http://flummery.org
Summary: I'm the Doctor. Look me up.

Notes: Thanks to merryish for the all the help, and especially all the baking, without which this vid probably never would have been finished in time. (she made us say that -- but it's true anyway.)

Right-click to download: http://flummery.org/handlebars/handlebars_dw_flummery.avi

There's a streaming version up on our imeem (http://flummery.imeem.com), but it's a little stuttery in spots and we're not sure why. Hopefully we'll get it figured out and fixed soon.

Imeem went boom, so we put a streaming version up on our site, which you can watch there or here:

ETA April 17, 2012: Our streaming vids are temporarily offline while we look into a technical issue. Sorry! The download still works, and we'll get the streaming version back up as soon as we can.

I AM GIVING THAT A SLOW CLAP.

I think it was the 3rd or 4th time I heard that song on the radio that I actually listened to all the lyrics and went "whoa, this isn't just a silly, catchy song." My experience watching Doctor Who has been rather similar, in the way that the wacky fun adventures pull you in, but then when you really pay attention to it there's this dark rummination on power and how it can corrupt.

A seriously fantastic character study of the ambivalence of the Doctor.

Wow, that made less sense than I thought it did before I posted it. It's because I had to force myself to stop rewatching the vid to try to form thoughts and clearly not all my brain came with me. *rewatches some more*

Hee, don't worry, this made perfect sense. And yay! (Although it's cracking me up that I've got Bill Adama slow-clapping in my head now. Fandoms collide!)

And seriously, thank you so much, this is a *lovely* comment to get -- because that's exactly it, the surface charm and whimsy that pulls you in before you see the darker side underlying it all.

er, and by "that's exactly it", I meant the show, which is what we were trying to showcase in the vid. Clarifications r us!
