Overview of Season Three, there's probably massive character bias, sorry/notsorry
Focus mostly on season three clips, but no real spoilers. Love these two.
Hope you like!
I have videos for Game of Thrones, Fringe, The Vampire Diaries and The Borgias on the way, if anyone is curious :)
SEASON THREE SPOILERS MAJOR SPOILERS
So yesterday night was an excellent night for television. Watched Game of Thrones and then Borgias 3x03. We can see which one won the muse contest.
This is super short, I love this song, and I really just needed any song that I could work with to use this footage. Not the greatest vid I've ever done, but I very much enjoyed making it.
Hope you like!
Minor spoilers for the books (nothing regarding plot, just character stuff).
I liked this song a lot for the three of them and figured I'd put it up now in honour of close we are to the premiere!
Pretty straightforward vid. Love this song. Love them.
Headphones recommended for the audio clips.
I was trying to explore with this the negative impact that them being separated from each other has, and framing it with the quote near the beginning that he wasn't afraid. That when they're together, they're good. And when they're not, they're very often terrified, they don't trust anyone, nothing works. They only feel comfortable with each other. (Which then of course gets ruined by affc and adwd and ugh feels, kill me).
One of my all time favourite songs, pretty straightforward video, love these two. (The back to back ellie goulding was an accident, I promise.)
Sorry this took so fucking long to finish, but it's a really hard song to vid.
Hope you like!
These two...
This is a pretty normal vidlet type thing, I wanted to focus on how their relationship has been so much about being out of sync and trying to get on the same track with each other. They're always walking away or reaching but at different times and they talk about work instead of talking about them etc etc and I liked how the show has been so good at showing that physically in how they interact in a scene instead of it just being the emotional dimension of their interaction. So I focused a lot on constructing that sort of constant process of them trying to be in sync with each other.
Hope you like it!
okay so halfway through this turned into a ~serious video about things~ vid, so if you're interested in what i was thinking for all of that, keep reading...
i ended up getting really interested in exploring the major relationships of the show (yes sterek, come at me bro, otp, etc) through the lens of ownership. there's a quality of of binding yourself to that person and taking responsibility for what they do and what you do to them, and all of this gets exacerbated because of the supernatural. so yeah, i wanted to look at this sort of super possessive character of these relationships and how the supernatural element of the show plays into that. the first 2 mins of the video sort of sets this up and then the last minute actually deals with it and whether it's a good thing or not
Hope you like!
This is a general Teen Wolf overview vid, focusing mostly on Scott, Allison, Lydia, Jackson, Stiles, and Derek.
For some reason this song is just perfect for the show, especially its darker elements, to my mind anyway, and so I wanted to give this a shot.
Hope you like it!
She's not really my Lisbeth but I FINALLY got these clips so I had to make something and I adore this song so this sort of just happened.
The rendering on this is a little bit funny and glitchy (right at the end lmao) but I didn't really know how else to do it cause the clips are odd.
Hope you like it!
So I've sort of been wanting to do a Jaime/Cersei vid for ages, because lbr my priorities in the books are SHAMELESSLY their chapters but they have what, three scenes together in the whole goddamn show so far, so that was a challenging thought.
Anways, I was clip hunting for them in preperation for a video I am doing with the GOT collab group (check it out, our first two videos are up http://www.youtube.com/user/GoTCollabTeam) and I've been OBSESSED with this song, so I was just like what the hell let's try this. And I had just seen people using Camelot clips for them on tumblr, so that sort of clinched it for me.
This is as much a character similarity study as it is shippy vid cause that's what I had clips for so that's what it is. Pretty straightforward and goes with the lyrics.
Hope you like! And I would say tentatively expect more vids for them in the future.

Oops made a Jon/Ygritte vid, no regrets, the shots from all the Iceland scenes are STUNNING.
There are pretty much no clips of them so I really have no idea why I made this but it sort of just happened, so whatevs. It's not that great but they are lovely.
Hope you like!
It has been SO long since I have vidded these two, cause me and fringe have been meh for parts of this season, but I loved Friday's episode, SOO exciting and I think that helped galvanize me to finish this.
It's a pretty straightforward overview, with more focus paid to Olivia because why wouldn't I....
So I may or may not have written some of this next bit up last night while putting the finishing touche on this, because lbr, I totally do get emotional and worked up over my own stuff, and so there. Feelings ensue.
What I want to say is: Olivia Dunham is a gift of a character, and I sometimes forget how much I love her. She's the kind of character that I can't imagine tv without, and I think I sometimes forget that because she just is such an inextricable part of vidding and fandom for me that I forget there was a time she didn't exist. Perfect character. Perfect character. Perfect character.
And Anna Torv will never not utterly blow me away with how spectacular she is. It's stupid how good her and John Noble are and it's insanity that they aren't getting recognized for it on this show.
tl;dr Olivia is an actual lifespiration for me, and I love her, and as much as this show sometimes has issues, and sometimes it has issues with writing her, she has never disappointed me.
This is a look at the evolution of Dany over the course of Season One, cause I love love love where she starts as compared to where she ends up and wanted to do a bit of a tribute to that.
Also for everyone being like lol i did not subscribe to you for GOT vids, my apologies, i promise i am working on other things. lots of fringe stuff, a couple of firefly videos, stuff for the borgias, and of course my ridiculous sherlock/luther au is very much happening.
Hope you like it!
Red and terrible and red. Fuck I love these ladies so so much, literally had to stop myself from cackling when Mel showed up. And the Cersei scenes were PERFECTION.
No idea why I've put them together, blame it on being over excited about everything to do with this premiere and losing my mind. This is actually a fairly nonsense I love everything about this show and needed to vid this and what is this vid? etc.
Also super ironic song choice on purpose, I like how much they would scoff at the "need you to come here and save me", and such things.
Hold your devil by his spoke, and spin him to the ground."
28/06/2012: Yay! This won an award for CJA Round 11!
Definitely one of my favourite videos I've done in a while, wanted to finish this up before season two (OMFG WE ARE SO CLOSE!)
This is a pretty general season one video, I especially wanted to focus on the Stark vs. Lannister relationships and how they perceive each other as the only threats when really you have actual threats with beyond the wall with jon and dany's whole evolution - as you can see, my biases in terms of character interest are fairly obvious in this video, no regrets as per usual.
Hope you like it!

I post previews of stuff I'm working on and I'm also much more likely to take requests if they are submitted to that channel cause I miss messages way less often.
All just footage from the trailers that are out on youtube. I would like to say tentative spoilers if you haven't read the books. Not really, but if that really worries you, stay back.
Also this turned slightly into an #asoiaf is about the ladies vid, no regrets (and my melisandre bias is showing, which is good cause at least my dany and cersei bias can be slightly on hold). And apologies for the quality of the clips, it was the best I could get off youtube.
Hope you like it!
I wish these two were on the same show and I had this song HARDCORE stuck in my head, so I figured I might as well run with it.
Basically it's just they like each other and crime, and those two things together is working well. My apologies for the lack of real manips, I never do au stuff and I'm very very out of practice.
Audio clips:
"I would have you right here, on this desk, until you begged for mercy twice."
"Excellent. Where do we start?"
"You're asking me to be your accomplice..."
Watch in HD
Definitely one of the more labour intensive vids I've done in a while, SOO much clip hunting.
Hope you guys like it, and if you have any questions about who is who and from what show, feel free to ask. They are all great shows and you should definitely be watching them. I put together a little guide below that should help out but it might be hard to follow.

I marathoned the second season of this a couple of weeks ago, and then figured I should have something to show for it, so that's this :)
"Okay first things first, I'll eat your brains,
Then Imma start rocking gold teeth and fangs."
So I've had this sort of sitting around for ages on my hard drive and I fixed it up this week. I've never gotten to a place where I've loved it, especially cause it started as more of an exercise to see if I could even do this kind of song. BUT I figured I should put it up, also because get your shit together and bring her back TVD, show is a hot ass mess right and I am having difficulty watching the episodes.
love love love this song and i just decided i had to vid it and this is what came out. sort of worked out for the best cause i haven't posted a misfits vid in agesss.
i'm actually pretty pleased with how this turned out and it was great fun making it so i hope you guys enjoy it.
Hope you like!
THIS ISN'T A FANVID TO IMMIGRANT SONG, IT'S A TRAILER
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVLvMg62RPA
I enjoy doing this kind of thing more than normal vidding. So much fun. So strange. But so much fun.
I tried going shot for shot wherever possible (ie still makes sense, internal clip movement works, right mood) which is why it's much better if you're familiar with the original trailer
Tate, sorry about the character and continuity murder you've suffered at the hands of ryan murphy.
Beyond that, this is sort of a more real video for them than my last one. I quite like this song for the two of them, I think it really captures how contradictory their relationship is.
Hope you like!
This is not very good, but some people had expressed interest in the preview that was up a while ago so i figured i might as well put up as is.
Uninspired song choice but had to be done. This was the first video I started for AHS, which is why it's sort of all over the place. And goddamn this show is hard to colour, which is part of the reason it's black and white.
I have another one (of which there is a preview on my backup channel) and it'll be better but I got ok'd to put this one up so i'm just going for it...
This is dedicated to allylucky13 cause she got me to actually listen to this album, which for some reason I wasn't doing. Obviously this isn't the full knight in the forest fighting sequence that you have envisioned, but it is a start lmao
This is my tribute to Eleven/Amy, I've been working on this forever, like middle of last season forever and I've re done it so many times, but here it is. Tried to keep it as simple as possible to let the clips speak for themselves.
Cue shipper rant and feeeelings:
I have such a substantial number of feelings regarding these two it is unseemly. Seriously. All I have to see is anything to do with "and the days that never came" and I'm done. This is not an exaggeration. Because for me, that's what they are, "The Doctor and Amy Pond, and the days that never came".
I ship everyone that I'm supposed to, I love Rory, I love River, but there is just something. Something else about these two. And I wish we'd gotten to see it.
I wish that had been the story that they'd chosen to tell. I love the one they did tell. But I wish we could have seen this one, especially in season 6.
Again, too many feelings and not enough sensical story line analysis, i realize this, but that's what Eleven/Amy are for me.
This can be viewed as either friendship or something more, I tried to keep it as close to what I believe the source material is as possible.
I hope you guys enjoy this even a fraction of how much I love them.
This isn't anything special, and had to be pitch-shifted slightly, so apologies for that, but I had lots of fun making it :)
Hope you like!
Edit: There's a little glitch but it's not a massive issue and I really do not want to render and upload again considering how sketch my internet is right now, so apologies for that.
I post previews fairly regularly over at my backup account (http://www.youtube.com/user/blackiebrensx) so if you want to see longer versions of these or more previews that I haven't included, please please head over there :)
So this is a general Fringe vid that I had been working on intensely at the beginning of the summer and then sort of forgot about. I saw it the other day and thought maybe I should finish it up to celebrate the new season :)
It's just looking at some of the parallels in the show, especially in the evolution of Olivia, and then at the end this sense that she hands over her power to Peter and what happens as a result of that.
Hope you like!
and the bit at the end is purely for the lulz, i did a few gifs of a crossover with the two of them over on my tumblr and i'm in love with it and may vid it one day (maybe maybe we'll see)
as i said before in the desc for the preview of this, yes the song is incredibly overused, i'm so sorry for that. this started sort of as a personal joke cause i got it stuck in my head out of nowhere (songs that you really can't sing at all, but i digress)
i sort of decided to give it a go and then ended up liking what i had and then decided i would actually attempt a large chunk of the song as opposed to the 2 mins or whatever that everyone usually does. i still had to cut it down but it's incredibly long.
ANYWAYS. it sort of turned into a kahlan is a bamf fest (no regrets) but i did try to include as many of the fandoms i vid for AS FIT THIS MUSIC. some of them don't, some i don't have clips for anymore, but i kind of wanted to do an overview video of my fandoms because, although you probably didn't know this cause really who would except me, i am coming up on my three year vidding anniversary. the first video i ever uploaded was on august 28th 2008 and seeing as i'm flying back to school that day i definitely wasn't going to upload it on the 28th so i figured i might as well just put it up today seeing as it's done.
hope you like!
Hope you like!
This is a Simon and River comparison video...I think. It sort of just struck me how similar they are and how many of the exact same fucking scenes they have and I wanted to make a video about that.
This has been in the works for ages and I finally got my act together with it this week. There is definitely crossover potential for these two (and so many good voiceover clips that I didn't get to use) so I would say be cautiously optimistic and expect more from me with these two :P
Hope you like!
Love love love this song, especially for this HBIC
Hope you like!
So this was the first GOT vid that I made and I've sort of been staring at it for a while wondering if I should put it up. I have another one in the works, which if you are subbed to my backup channel you have seen the preview for. I do still intend to make that vid as it will likely be a lot better than this one, but my sister said this was okay to put up, so here it is.
The song is a little pitch shifted and i promise i didn't edit the song, the same lines are repeated that many times, i swear lmao
hope you like it!

Never getting over these two. Sorry.
Yes I ship Eleven/River and Amy/Rory and yes I realize it's a little odd to still ship Eleven/Amy so maybe you can view this is as not necessarily romantic...i don't even know. This song really worked for them so I figured I'd have a go at it.
Hope you like!
I got the idea for this video a very long time ago, I think I heard the song in a fanmix for them, and I've only just finished it today which makes no sense considering how short it is and how long I've been working on it. But there you are.
Can be viewed as slash or not, when I was making it I was more just focusing on the parallels of their relationship over time and stuff like that.
Also I tried to include really fleeting references to Katherine and Elena because while they definitely have an effect on the boys, this video is more just looking at their relationship and how it's changed and how it's stayed the same.
Hope you like!
Just caught up on this show in like 2 days, love it. definitely recommended.
If you watch anything of this video, watch at least the last minute.
This video got started a very long time ago. And it was supposed to be just a nice look at Delena...and then all of this season happened.
In no way do i intend to go on a hateful rant about delena but some of the scenes between those two have been nothing short of abusive. i don't care that damon is a tortured soul etc etc angst, tragedy etc etc. it's abuse. damon is definitely the perpetrator of some of the worst parts of it, but elena has done her fair share of smacking him around and there seems to be this bizarre double standard where that is seen as okay.
so this video got kind of hijacked by that but i'm just trying to honestly represent the scenes they've given us this season. this isn't an anti-delena vid, just a vid trying to point out what i think are some serious problems in their relationship. (and some huge problems i have with the writers this season.)
Voiceovers:
"You and I...we have something."
"I will always choose you."
"You want me."
"Get your ass out the door."
"You do not get to make decisions anymore."
"No!"
"I will break your arm."
"Damon let go of me...Damon let go of me, let go of me!"
"I said we're leaving."
"I'm not going with you."
"Please!"
"I hate him, Stefan."
This is super old, but i fixed it up a bit. Mostly clips from the pilot.
Also my firefly clips are a little odd, so that's why this is rendered strangely. 720p does not sit well with them...
