[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.

This vid blew me away, y'all. It was one of the standouts of my weekend. (Yeah, me and everybody else, I do realize that. *g*)

I don't watch Doctor Who; I've seen all of 2 eps. But I have some sense for the universe and the characters via fannish osmosis, and on Friday I was talking with laurashapiro about it, and she was noting that a lot of people seem to forget that the Doctor is not only adorable but also 900 years old and incredibly powerful and dangerous. Your vid took me from a place of "oh, hey, he's charming" to "OMG apocalypse" and back again, and I loved that journey.

Also the song is a total earworm and I think I have to acquire it just so I can learn something beyond the opening line which has been looping in my head for 2 days now. :-)

*hugs you!* That is so incredibly cool, that you got so much out of it with so little context to go on! And hee, what perfect timing for Laura to have been talking about that! Because yeah, that's exactly it. I love the Doctor to bits, and have for 30-odd years now, but dude -- he ain't human, and his agenda is not our agenda, no matter how much he likes us. You get flashes of that coldness and arrogance and sheer power/danger in all of his incarnations, but Ten can just be completely out of control sometimes, and... yeah. He really is the Oncoming Storm, for all his charm and whimsy.

And hah, you expect sympathy for a few days of earworming? We've been listening to the damn thing since the first week of April -- in the thick of the vidding, I woke up singing it in my head every. damn. morning. Heh.

(You can get it off amazon downloads for $0.99, but I think you'd like the whole album -- these are very smart, very angry young men and women, who have very smart, very angry things to say about a whole lotta stuff. It's fabulous.)
