This vid really worked with the music to make me feel the extreme emotions River feels.

A Hero's Tale |
Luminosity, OSF Productions and Suze |

A great use of unexpected music to provide comedy and an example of how music affects the mood and motion of a vid.

Sakura |
Azonia |

I chose this one for the distinctiveness of the music and the way the motion and effects worked with the song choice.

An anime vid with great movement.

Wipe Out |
Sandy, Vivian and rache |
|
Surfaris |
Farscape and Stargate SG-1 |
None |
|
This is a fun (not to mention prescient) vid that uses the freedom given by the lack of lyrics to highlight the similarities between Starscape and Fargate.
|

Layla |
T. Jonesy |
|
Eric Clapton (Derek and the Dominos) |
Star Trek TOS |
None |

The instrumental portion of this song always invokes a certain nostalgia in me, and, consequently, it provides the perfect mood for a retrospective of Kirk and Spock.

|
The vid’s visual layers work with the instrumental layers to create a look at Buffy and Angel’s relationship.

Mission: Impossible (main theme) |
Larry Mullen & Adam Clayton |
Hercules and Xena: Warrior Princess |
None |

Showcases TV theme song vids in which the characters of one show get to have fun trying out roles in different universes. This vid has a wonderful homage to one of the more infamous visuals of Mission: Impossible.

Uses repetition to help structure the vid.
