You were the second person to rec that Philadelphia Story vid, so I finally watched it, and you were right, its fantastic!

[beatrice_otter]

It's really good! But then, there were a LOT of great vids at festivids, I recommend going through and watching any you know the fandom for, they're all so good!

[delphi]

Oh wow, thanks! I'd started to tuck into the collection but hadn't checked any of these out yet—they all sound fantastic.

[beatrice_otter]

You're welcome!

[suncani]

Thank you for that roundup! I always forget how much I appreciate fanvids until someone reccs them. The Romeo + Juliet ones have created a hankering to watch it again even though I know i'll cry as always :D

[beatrice_otter]

I've never actually seen Romeo + Juliet, and the vids are good enough that I was blown away despite only knowing the play and not the movie.

[suncani]

I would definitely recommend it! Despite being so relentlessly modern I feel like it really captures the feeling of the play and as you can see from the vids visually its amazing.

[yourlibrarian]

So agree about Come Forth Now. Even though the year has just started I'd bet that will be the best vid I'll see this year.

[beatrice_otter]

THere have been some great Andor vids. And of course Vienna Teng is, like, one of the best artists for vid songs ever.

[impala_chick]

Oo wow that Bound vid is so good!! And the chocolate guy vid too :D Thanks for this post, I hadn't seen those yet.

[beatrice_otter]

You're welcome! I have never seen Bound (though I know a decent amount ABOUT it), and I figure that any vid that's compelling when you don't even know the source must be good.
