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. :)

at the con I went to in Sydney this year, they used a fanvid to introduce each guest.
They did the same at this con, which was why I saw as many as I did.
it made me realise that to the average viewer the way a vid is put together might not be that important.
I was thinking of your post yesterday night when I was reading the following paragraph in this metafadom'ed post:
"Funny, how one tends not to question whether other people are reading things and enjoying them for the same reason you do yourself. I once wrote a story based on somebody's crack/kink prompt for a Supernatural story based on the movie Secretary; the prompt caught my attention because I could see ways of using the idea of punishment and penitence and control to illuminate characters at this particular point in canon, and because the candy coloured fantasy of corporate drone-dom in the episode 'It's A Terrible Life' had enough resonance with the setting of the movie for it to be workable. It functioned on a number of levels, building on Dean's buried past as a victim and torturer in hell, building on Castiel's sense of guilt towards Dean for his experiences at Heaven's hands, and for his current situation, building on Castiel's own lack of freedom...it's a bit of a lowering realisation when you twig that actually, they just showed up for the hot guys bumping uglies...felt almost physically ill at the realisation that she saw no difference between the story I'd written and her proposal for a story based on 'Goldilocks and The Three Bears', in which Castiel was Goldilocks & fucked John, Sam and Dean, before concluding that Dean was "just right""
I'm really hoping to get some interesting opinion on what makes a fanvid watchable.
I'll be interested in reading that too.
