I don't often gush to this extent over a vid but I absolutely have to with this one. It spoke directly to me and I have an urge to share that. (I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek, but I had nothing, whatsoever, to do with it).
It captures, so perfectly, the messed up, tragic, co-dependent, desperate, beautiful, angst ridden, love driven relationship that these boys have.
It's everything Winchester. It shows the blood that has been shed, the sacrifices made, the pain of words and the loss of trust and faith. It shows that no matter how much their relationship is pushed or ripped apart they find their way back to each other. Which is, essentially, why I am so damn invested in this show. For a vid to be able to capture all that is amazing. And wonderful.
On TOP of that, there's the actual vidding. *GUH* Of course it's expertly edited - if you know Loki's work you've come to expect that. But it's the use of the voiceovers that is also remarkable. The audio is edited in such a way that the sentences become poetic. There's a rhythm and pulse that work with both the music and the footage.
I've watched it a number of times now (which is rare for me) and each time it draws a tear. Not because it's sad but because it encapsulates the power of their remarkable bond so beautifully. The artistry of the vidding is also very moving.
Podfics
I recently discovered podficcercrinklysolution. She has a way of reading that allows you so solely focus on the story. It makes me think of a really good story where you don't notice the words. Her reading is like that. You forget you're listening to someone read and just notice the story.
I recently listened to these two:
In My Dreams You're Blowing Me...Some Kisses written byqueenklu Jared/Jensen NC17 (Prostitute!Jensen, Bartender!Jared).
I didn't think this would be a story I'd get into but once I did I loved it. It's a refreshing, honest (and hot!) look at the industry.

I LOVE long podfics and this is brilliant! Future fic with a fabulous outsider POV.
I am currently listening to the QB 'verse bypianoforeplay. It's read by the fabulous chemm80 and I LOVE LOVE it! (American Football 'verse. Jared/Jensen (and some pairings) NC17)
I can't believe how much I am enjoying the football side of it. It's actually made me check out American Football on YT! The complicated romance between the boys is absolutely fabulous but I'm loving how detailed and interesting the game information is. (I can't believe I actually get disappointed when the Cowboys lose!) It's also very VERY long (YAY!!)
I'm tacking on some awards I got recently- 'cause they're shiny and I was pleased to received them. :D

Date: 2012-02-22 06:53 am (UTC)And thanks so much for the QB rec. I've been absolutely loving it. I can't believe how interesting the football side of it is. I'm so impressed that the writer knows so much. I'm 1/3 way through Hail Mary at the moment. *g*

I know it can be hard to "get" everything a vidder might be trying to say sometimes. I often think that once a vid is made and out there it's up to the viewer to take from it what they will. Even if it might not be what the vidder had on their mind. Though I sometimes think vidders can't actually articulate what they are trying to say with the images. It's a kind of gut instinct. I think Loki works very much like that. :)

Date: 2012-02-23 01:34 am (UTC)The QB verse is one of my favorite SPN RPS stories ever. But goodness, how many times has she changed her username now? I'm pretty sure I recced it under two different ones at this point.
no subject
Date: 2012-02-23 11:04 am (UTC)Ah yes... she has a different name on the actual podfic. I actually don't know this gal, so I wasn't aware she's had a number of different names.
Love the story though. :)
no subject
Date: 2012-02-25 11:10 am (UTC)And congrats on the awards! :DDDD All those video are so different from each other and I think it shows perfectly what an extraordinary and open-minded vidder you are - you're not afraid to make a sad angsty video and the next one - light and easy feeling almost funny vid. I always admired it about you as a vidder <333
And MG CRUSH! I read this story, like, last month? And I squeed about it on twitter - I think it's one of the best wincest (not only future fics) I've EVER read. I loved so many thing about it <333 Not sure about the podfic as I'm more of an old school reader *lol* But I think sooner or later I'll read this story again, it's just THAT good <333
no subject
Date: 2012-02-25 02:33 pm (UTC)Thanks for such kind words. I didn't think about how different each one was. I always think about how far I have to go to be a truly accomplished vidder (like you!). :)
Crush is amazing! You read Treasure yeah? By the same author. If not.... GO! I loved Crush but for me Treasure was even better. Such an awesome writer. :)
*hugs*

It's last year's Big Bang.
The thing I adore about this fic is how right their relationship is. It's wonderful.
