ash48I know what I am about to do is bad form but damnit, I need to growl and grumble and just... arghhh...
So, I decided to do some "research" for my next vid (part 2 for my winning bidder). I needed to remind myself where I might find some good old fashioned Dean hitting on girls scenes (remember when he used to do that?) and basically Dean being damn sexy, so I thought I do some YT Supernatural vid surfing.
I figured vids using Brittany's "Womanizer" might be good. Lends itself to what I might be looking for. But MY GOD! The crap I came across. (yes, yes, I know it's not good form to diss other people works.... but arghhhh). I just don't get it. Clips that have NOTHING to do with the song or relate to any "theme" of the vid (yes, Dean might look sexy when he's looking at his dead father...but... arghhh, not appropriate!!) gazzillion talking head, long, loooong scenes, credits and just...just... /o\. But here's the thing... one had about 84,000 views. What the...?!??!?
I suppose it's because I usually only watch vids posted here or YT recs. Which means I am totally spoiled by amazing and wonderfully constructed works. And have been for a long time. I just didn't realise it could be so baaaad.
Ok. End rant. I don't mean to be mean. I just had to get that off my chest. *phew*
That said. Can anyone rec me a good Dean and his "moves" vids. I reckon there must be one out there. Or even a montage of sexy Dean scenes...(I know they'd be some of those!!)... but...only ones I can actually sit through. ;) It's totally for research purposes you understand....:D
Better now...
ETA: For what it's worth I don't believe Dean is a womanizer at all. I think he's a healthy male who appreciates the female form and enjoys sex, but I also think he has a respect for women that is quite deep and not often realised on the show. There's meta here that will have already been written somewhere no doubt, much better than I could write it. But yeah... just thought I'd mention that. :)

Date: 2010-10-21 08:22 pm (UTC)From being in the fandom I know that there are much, much better examples of vids that could have gotten that audience especially since in every group attending there are some people for whom the vids would be brand new so they wouldn't have to be specially made vids. I think, though, that a lot of the better vidders prefer to have their vids shown at fan cons rather than actor cons. Obviously I can only guess at the reasons, but I would assume that among them are the fact that Creation is a for-profit con, the vidders aren't attending the cons anyway, or they don't want the actors to see them. Also a possibility is that these vids are likely chosen less for skill and more for content, so for example the many slash vids that are made in fandoms either would never be submitted or wouldn't be chosen if they were.
But I agree that it is rather sad. I went to a fan con last year and one of the presentations showed a few vids (it wasn't actually about vidding, but it used them as examples of a point). It was a small crowd, maybe 50 people compared to the 2000 or so that saw the video Misha commented on at Chicago. But I think the small group appreciated the vids much more even though they came from different fandoms. I think there's a real difference between fans that are more fan-oriented and those that are more star-oriented in terms of what appeals to them.
