VidUKon pimp/VJ'ing for Vid Show

[charmax]

I haven't pimped this yet so I am now pimping it mightily! VidUKon is a brand new Vidding con being held in the UK and set up by the fantastic halcyon_shift. It will run from the 24th Oct to the 26th Oct in Milton Keynes and will have everything from panels, vidshows tea and cakes. It should be a great weekend to meet all your fannish friends to talk/watch vids. I won't be going myself this year, unfortunately, but I am seriously hoping there will be enough numbers to make it viable for next as I really want to go. So this is where I pimp - you all need to go sign up! It'll be fun! Come take a holiday in Britain!

As I'm not going this year I thought I'd make myself useful in another way so I offered to VJ the "Made In The UK" Vid show.
"Doctor Who, Torchwood, Queer as Folk etc.
UK shows rock ! "

I have a fair idea of some of the vids I'd like to include but I am also looking for suggestions in case I've missed that perfect vid for this show. If you have any suggestions please comment away. I'm particularly interested in any vids for lesser known shows. I'd like a good mix. :)

Ack! Layout confusion. You and cherryliz formerly known as jeannie_jay have the same layout.

Anyway, I'd like to rec her A2A vid Thoughts of a Dying Atheist (http://cherryliz.livejournal.com/16828.html) and her LOM vid Welcome to Nightmare (http://cherryliz.livejournal.com/17085.html) :D

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Yep, millylicious had this layout quite recently too. It's popular.

Thanks for the recs. I know these! *g*

Thanks for all these!

[kiki-miserychic.livejournal.com]

No, thank you. Looking through recs for these was a distraction a needed. It was diffcult deciding on 2 DW vids and 2 Torchwood vids, but those are my personal favorites. There are so many.

There are so many LOM and A2A vids, but I don't actually watch the show, so I left those to more knowing people.

And yeah, I rec-ed you to yourself, but so what? :)

[charmax.livejournal.com]

There is a wealth of fantastic DW, Torchwood, LOM and A2A vids, so many it's going to make the whittling down hard. I also know Skins, Hustle and Jekyll have been vidded - all great at showing what the Brits have to offer. Hmmm, what else is there?

No problem with you rec'ing Hex back at me, I just won't be adding it. Like I said to buffyann my priority is to get other vidder's vids shown plus, my Hex vids are pretty old now and we want the newer stuff!

[kiki-miserychic.livejournal.com]

I think there are Coupling vids around, but I have no idea where. I forgot about Hustle.

Red Dwarf? Absolutely Fabulous? The Office? I'm sure there are vids for them, but I have no idea where...

I think Hex should be represented and I wouldn't see a problem with it being represented by your vid. Especially when I can't think of any others. I think mix of old with new would be good too.

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Oh! And I only just realised it was your birthday! Sorry, Kiki. HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

[kiki-miserychic.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you.

[buffyann.livejournal.com]

I'd love for you to put your own "don't stop me now" cause it's so much fun. It can counter balance more serious vids in the show ;)

Maybe some Harry Potter vids ? I don't know if that counts entirely as a UK thing, but I figure it can, yeah ?

Looks like there's lots of choice here.

raspberry_splat's My Skin (http://raspberry-splat.livejournal.com/6413.html) is one of my favourite DW vid.

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Harry Potter is a movie and I was thinking more along the lines of TV shows... and I doubt I'll be adding any of my own vids to the list because there is just so many great vids to choose from there will probably be no room for me.

I shall consider "My Skin" though! Thanks for suggesting.

[buffyann.livejournal.com]

TV shows works definitely, it's one of those shows where there IS definitely a lot of choice, it's awesome, you can choose all the greatness.
and your vids are awesome ! if you don't put any in this show, I hope we'll see some of yours in another show :D

[charmax.livejournal.com]

I think I have about 20 zillion great Life On Mars/Ashes To Ashes vids to choose from. It's gonna be so tough!

If anyone wants my vids for other shows then they're more than welcome to them. :D

Run Away (http://snarkyways.livejournal.com/8890.html#cutid1) (Skins)

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Zohar.

[charmax.livejournal.com]

I've tried to contact the vidder via LJ messaging but she has some kind of block on and unfortunately I can't find an email address either...

[bunnythenavia.livejournal.com]

Hmm... maybe drop her a comment in the vid post?

You already mentioned Hustle, which was on my list of less-frequently-vidded shows (i only know of Zen's and Killa's vids).

And The Professionals, which while a classic slash fandom still has new vids and remasters of old vids.

melina123 made a Robin of Sherwood vid.

QAF UK (killa, butterfly, ob24).

Donald Strachey mysteries? I saw a vid rec for that recently.

MI5 / Spooks

Hitchhiker? I think there is at least one older vid for this.

Re: Thinking by fandom

[charmax.livejournal.com]

I was trying to think who it was that made the Robin of Sherwood vid! Thanks for reminding me. QAF UK will most likely be on the list. I haven't seen any vids for the last 3, do you have any specific recs?

Re: Thinking by fandom

[par-avion.livejournal.com]

Blakes 7: True Believer and Comedy Tonight by mediacannibals [sandy, rache, gwyn, jo etc.]

Morgaine had some B7 vids as well, but her site is down.

Mary van Deusen has done a lot of B7 vids: http://www.iment.com/maida/tv/songvids/b7song.htm#bangkok

Donald Strachey is not British, sorry!

I could *swear* that I've seen vid recs for Mi5/Spooks but there are none listed in the veni_vidi_vids delicious account. (Maybe I've just seen people wishing for MI5 vids?)

Judy (aka JAWS?) has a vid for The Prisoner to Hotel California, which I have on DVD. I can rip it for you if you want to see it.

I just found that Deejay made an RoS vid as well. I'm not sure if I have access to that. Hmmm.

Oh! I finaly found the Hitchiker vid. It's called Good Run of Bad Luck by Angel, and it's on the 2004 VVC DVD set, for the challenge show.

Sorry for the delay, I've been writing this comment on and off for a few days. My brain is slow sometimes!

Re: Thinking by fandom

[par-avion.livejournal.com]

...and I found that MI5/Spooks vid! It's by Barkley, to Mother by Pink Floyd.

Re: Thinking by fandom

[charmax.livejournal.com]

I've checked that one out already. Thanks! :)

Re: Thinking by fandom

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Oh awesome. So many to check out! I have found a good Spooks vid made by fahrbotdrusilla but I could have sworn there were a ton more. Hmmm.

I have a pretty good mixture of vids to work with now but if any of the above vids turn out to be a better fit then I'll sub them in. It's a real shame the running time is so short because when it comes to it, you have to exclude so many good vids.

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

I have about half of a fairly fluffy (as fluffy as Bernard will let it be) Black Books vid finished to I'll Be There For You. If you really needed variety, I could try to finish that up for you look at. Otherwise I suspect you've seen everything I would rec. ;)

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Wow that's pretty obscure! Will this be premièring? If it is then I'll definitely have it. :D

[charmax.livejournal.com]

The deadline for vid submissions is 27th September, do you think you'll have enough time to finish?

[dualbunny.livejournal.com]

Yes, it'd be premiering, so if you'd like I will get back to working on it. In theory that should be plenty of time to finish it. :)

[charmax.livejournal.com]

Great! I'll email you the upload details soon.
