vid recs?

[charmax]

I have become quickly hooked on "Carnivale" and "Life On Mars" and I was wondering if anyone knows of any good vids out there? If you do, please point me in the right direction. My search so far has been fruitless.

Yay! Another Carnie fan!

Acutally Carnivale vids are hard to find, I do however know of one good vid, which I rec on my journal a while back. :goes to search for it:

Wow that was quick. It's an awesome show isn't it?! I have just finished watching 2x4 and I'm loving it. I shall go search for your rec now. Thanks!

Actually, I think I recc'd it in a comment in a flister's journal.

But here is the vid:

I definitely think it has great vid potential. There are some good visuals in there. I have a couple of ideas too but sometimes it is just nice to sit back and watch someone else's hard work.

tzikeh has a Carnivale vid to a creepy version of Amazing Grace. I'm not sure if it is available online or not.

I thought so! She posted it on Halloween. I haven't tested the link, though. It's probably still there.

Oh fantastic! I'll go take a look. :D

Thank you.

I don't suppose anyone, like, emailed you a link to a Life on Mars vid, did they? Because I've been really, really hoping for one - I'm hearing about the show all over my flist, and vids are my way to figure out what this strange beast they call TV canon is all about.

*looks around and hopes for a Secret Link to appear*

An email would have been nice but sadly, no. Nothing. It's a fantastically witty-slashy show; I am surprised no one has made a vid yet. It's starting to look like if I want a vid, I am going to have to get my act together and make it myself.

*beams*

Yes. Yes, you should indeed make it yourself. It's what the universe is telling you: "I, the universe, am witholding excellent Life on Mars vids until Charmax makes one."

You would not want us to suffer. You would not want me to be unable to figure out the fandom and the canon. You would not want many hundreds of fangirls to miss out just because the pimps didn't have the key vid component.

A Life on Mars vid: it is your destiny.

*nods wisely*

OMG please make one yes!

[charmax.livejournal.com]

No pressure! Please not pressure!

Arghh I have so much to do already but you are right, it's written in the stars. It's what I need to do, obviously. *grin*

Okay, I'll bump it up my "to vid" list. I do have a couple of ideas so once I have settled on a song I'll be making it my next project.

Hi! Over here from veni_vidi_vids, and I just so happen to have some links for you. Hopefully, they'll help in your quest for Carnivale and Life on Mars, and aren't too dated:

First, I'd check out lifein1973, the Life on Mars community. Vids should be in their memories section.

My personal fave that I have to rec is Dream On by Severa (http://profile.imeem.com/P2JBPz/video/RgjoOVO-/lom_dreamon). Sam-centric, set to Aerosmith's "Dream On". It's a fantastic song choice, and as a Gene fan, I totally love the bits with Gene beating up Sam.

And Carnivale:

pinkocracy, who did "In the Shadows" for Carnivale also has Justin/Iris vid to Live's "I Alone". I can't seem to find it on her site or journal, but I have a copy downloaded onto my computer. If you'd like to take a look, I can upload it onto Sendspace for you.

My girl Kate has done a bunch of Carnivale vids - including one to Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out for a Hero" that we screened at CarnyCon. Evanescence's "Missing" is one of her brilliant Justin/Iris vids, and "Mother Revolution" is probably my favorite of all (it's a Sofie piece). You can find her vids, along with a few others (not as good, but YMMV) here (http://www.savecarnivale.org/html/red_pig_videos.htm)

Wow this is a very old post. 06. Thanks for the links though. I already know of "In The Shadows" and Severa's vid but I'll check out the others. :)
