It's probably too early for Ke$ha...

[grav_ity]

I'm not exactly a fan of Ke$ha, but her songs are SO RIDICULOUS, that it's fun to vid them (see also Star Trek: Tik Tok). I've been looking for this vid for about a week now, and shadadukal was kind enough to point me in the right direction.

The vid is to Ke$ha's "Take It Off", and it's based around the Revelations/End of Nights episode arc of Sanctuary. Because nothing says Serious Business like a Ke$ha song. ;)

Anyway, kuwdora describes the vid as an episodic vid featuring season 1 finale/season 2 premiere. It's a brilliant four-episode arc that has an awesome story! Plotty twists! Action! Adventure! Intrigue! Slash, het, Victorian polyamorous science orgies (*cough*), and she's not wrong.

Mostly I love this vid because even though it's fun and the song is kind of...frippery, the music has been parlayed into something that really works for Sanctuary: vaguely dark, and with the same forward movement that the episodes have themselves. It's a neat juxtaposition, and the selection and editing of the clips to fit the music is really well done.

Take it Off.

thanks for the rec. great vid, and her notes had my LOL'ing. :)

I like the "Now with extra clutching" comment. I would add that it's now extra extra clutching. :)

[midwifeonboard.livejournal.com]

I have two Helen/John/James vids brewing in my head. Going to be interesting...

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

I'm a fan of this! I've decided to give myself the day off from writing, which means I might finish the vid I started last week. We shall see!

[midwifeonboard.livejournal.com]

Well, they are brewing, which means a couple/few weeks before I sit down and manically make them. ;) But I AM writing today. For the first time in weeks. -Well, after last night's drabble. I actually think that unlocked my writer's block. I'm hoping to have this story complete and to my beta by July. It's my first long Sanctuary fic...

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

That's exciting! I'm hoping to have one of my bigbangs complete by July...but they're both clamouring to be written RIGHT NOW, PLEASE, so it might be more a case of half and half. :)

[midwifeonboard.livejournal.com]

Heh. Yeah. This is the only think I'm writing at the moment, thank goodness. I need to focus, lol.

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

I think taking today off will help me focus. Or I'll get ten more ideas and be really screwed...but yeah.

[midwifeonboard.livejournal.com]

Hee! Good luck with that. ;)

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

The important thing is that I keep busy enough to never be truly tempted to make a Helen/Everyone vid to "Girlfriend". :)

[midwifeonboard.livejournal.com]

OMG LMAO.

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

I know, eh?

I should get my head examined.

It's asking me for a password before I can watch it ....

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

The password should be there. It's pixie_vids, in any case.

Thank you! So it is. I fail reading comprehension this morning.

Brilliant, brilliant vid. Thanks for linking/reccing! Interesting to contrast the Completely Different emotional impact of the vid I linked you yesterday with this one.

That song is one only one of hers I have actually paid money to own. It doesn't hurt that I have associations with the underlying tune that go way, way back.

I think I am going to spend this USan holiday weekend watching all of Sanctuary (I have the box-sets of S1 & 2, and dvr-disk copies of S3 so far) even though I am discovering I actively dislike Will, even in S1.

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

I am SO CONFLICTED about Will! Because, I think he could be a halfway decent character if I didn't hate the actor so much (and I hate hating people! It makes me uncomfortable! But I have yet to hear anything I like about Dunne. He needs to open a puppy sanctuary or something...). And then, if Will was female (which he is in, like, EVERY OTHER SHOW, EVER!), I'd be PISSED because it would be yet another useless...you know what? I wrote a meta. I've said all this before.

But I understand! If you check out my List of Episodes, it sort of hits the highlights (and skips the terrible, terrible Will episodes...because even though we learn important things in "Warriors", no amount of Joe Gregory is worth sitting through that train wreck again).

Dammit. You just KNEW I was a sucker for Ke$ha, didn't you? You just KNEW that if you found an awesome Sanctuary vid that showed all the kick-ass moments and set it to frakking Ke$ha, that I would be super intrigued.

Dammit.

[bookwormprinces.livejournal.com]

HOLY. FRELL. THE TIK TOK VIDEO. \^o^/

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

I KNOW, EH!

[grav-ity.livejournal.com]

And another check mark for today...

(warning: it takes a while for Sanctuary to get that awesome. The first season is a bit bumpy, but worthwhile.)

[holdouttrout.livejournal.com]

Okay, that first vid is AWESOME. And the second vid, which I had seen already, is even MORE AWESOME now. <3

(I have a weird fascination with Ke$ha, even though musically she... isn't. *g*)
