new vid! Doctor Who, Handlebars

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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.

To quote my reaction as I sat in my empty apartment for five minutes after watching this:

Wow. Wow. Wow.

The way you put this together, particularly as a statement about the Doctor, himself, is absolutely brilliant. The song lends itself to vidding, and the escalation in it is powerful on its own, but mixed with the increasingly destructive image of the Doctor, and particularly in the context the Series 4 ending, it fit in a truly organic (and more than a little frightening) way. Lovely, lovely job.

Wow, thank you so much! The song really is incredibly well-suited to vidding, and once we realized that in our heads, it was a perfect match to the Doctor (which was pretty much immediately), everything really did start growing organically from there. I'm so glad it worked for you so well!
