Video Title: It's Not Over Yet
Song Title/Artist: It's Not Over Yet - Goldfrapp
Show: Merlin BBC
Summary: Nimueh shows Morgana the path to her destiny.
Length/Format: 2.53, (Xvid, Stream)
Notes: No matter what version of the Arthurian legend I've watched or read I've always found Morgana the most interesting character. "Merlin" has been no exception. I was struck by how awful it must be to be a seer to know that you are destined to betray and lose everything and everyone you hold dear. Merlin's magic will go on to earn him authority, respect and love in Arthur's Camelot whereas Morgana is destined to be alone and ostracised by her "gift" in short she is going to become very much like Nimueh. I wanted to explore that in this vid. I imagined that Nimueh was connected to Morgana in the same way as the Dragon is to Merlin. So here we have Nimueh converting Morgana into Morgan le Fay and rather enjoying herself while she's doing it. The femslash vibe is entirely intentional so feel free to just look at the pretty.

Video Title: Smiley Faces

Show: Torchwood
Summary: Team Torchwood and "how hard this life can be."
Length/Format: 3.05, (Xvid, Stream)
Notes: Premiered at Club Vivid, Vividcon 08.
This was made during my old comp's death throes. As a result it isn't quite as flash as originally conceived (only the title sequence remains of Charmax's fancy Torchwood vid that never was) nevertheless I feel my fondness for team Torchwood does come across and that's the main thing. Gwen and Jack have the best smiles in fandom.

Video Title:I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor
Song Title/Artist: I Bet You Look Good On the Dancefloor - Arctic Monkeys
Show: Life On Mars/Ashes To Ashes
Summary: The Gene Genie gets his groove on.
Length/Format: 2.53, (Xvid, Stream)
Notes: Premiered at Club Vivid, Vividcon 08.
What struck me most about the differences between LoM and A2A wasn't so much the difference between 70s and 80s but more the socio-economic and regional differences. My 1980s childhood looked much more like LoM than A2A. I went out of my way to make comparisons between Alex's Middle class 80s London and Sam's working class Manchester. In case anyone was wondering the title sequence was heavily influenced by "The Sweeney."

Thanks astartexx for the awesome essay. So, when you posting your vid then? ;)
This vid was made to premiere at winchestercon 07. The notes are quite lengthy so you may want to read them after you've watched the vid. I don't usually do notes and on the odd occasion when I have they certainly weren't this long but I thought, what the hell, go for it.

I was making a video to premiere at Wincon and I thought I may as well remaster "The Way We Get By" while I was at it. It's mostly just straight forward substitution for DVD source with a few small tweakings.

This was actually made almost 12 months ago (Sept 22. 06) and up until now only available on DVD. The brains behind the song and the storyboard came from buyer Eric.

I've come to the conclusion that I will be unable to offer a postal option for my DVD. Sorry to anyone who was holding out for this option, maybe I'll be able to get it right for the 07 collection. For the time being the web download option is still avaliable here. This will be accessible until the end of the month. If there really is no other way and you really want my dvd email me (charmax[at]bronze-ambition[dot]net) and we'll see if we can sort something out.
