Daily Pilots Post - Vids to Remember

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

These are two of my favorite pilots vids of all time, OF ALL TIME YO! (Are Kanye jokes seriously passe by now? Probably, right?) I'm embedding them here so we can group discuss them but I'm also posting links back to the makers' homepages too. Please go there and leave them feedback if you like the vids. It will surely mean a lot to them!  


OK, first, a romantic one.m_a_r_i_k_s' When You Say Nothing at All (to the Ronan Keating version of this song, which I'd never heard before being much more familiar with Allison Krauss's stunning version and the Keith Whitley original). This is a beautiful vid all about the way Kara and Lee eyefrak make eye contact throughout the series. I'm joking about the sexing/chemistry because their shared glances are really so much more than that. They're support and comfort and understanding and empathy and strength for each other without words. It's pure Love. These actors, man, they can do so much with just their eyes. It slays me every time.

Now, a fun/crack one! boom_queen's Speed Racer vid is just a hliarious and highly sexy (NSFW!! NSFW!!) vid with Kara as Speed Racer and Lee as his/her girlfriend Trixie. The cartoon voiceover sounds are just sidesplitting and the hard driving remix beat is excellent. This vid has an interesting pacing to it where it escalates and becomes super-fast at certain points and BQ keeps right up with every switch in the music. Mostly though, it's just so funny and hot you just have to watch it for the lulz. (Note: This embedded version is the old version of the vid, it was remastered at one point, but that's only available in downloadable form here.)

What are some of your all-time favorite pilots vids?

This thread makes me so happy! I remember when I first got REALLY REALLY Hooked on the ship in S2 and suddenly I couldn't get enough of K/L stuff. And I DISCOVERED FANVIDS. Like literally I hadn't really ever heard about them before because I hadn't indulged in fandom like this since...before 2000 and I don't think fanvids were that big then. Anyway, late at night I would just cue up the ole' YouTube and watch vid after vid!! And usually weep because there was sadness and death coming! (I didn't care about spoilers).

Anyway, I'm going to go home tonight and watch/rewatch all of these. SO FUN.

YAY FOR HAPPY-MAKING PILOTS POSTS EVERY DAY! This is the best fandom idea I've ever had stole. (I say unmodestly.) I'm so happy you all have so much love for our peeps still and want to come and play and enjoy them. Please spread the word to other K/L fans who are just looking for a nice outlet for their squee!

Fanvids re-mix it all and make it like new. I love the discovery of a new vid. Makes me squee and squee and squeeeeeee.

Vids and Fic - keepin' the ship alive! XOXOXO

LOL. I agree (but the daily posts of this Smallville comm are not as fun as the ones here, right?? :D)

Please spread the word to other K/L fans who are just looking for a nice outlet for their squee!

Maybe you should make some pimpage at the other K/L comms? --if their respective mods agree, that is.

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

No the Smallville ones are not nearly as hopping. Granted their ship is just starting and it's been almost all off-screen but it's currently ongoing at least!

I wasn't sure if they'd be okay with that kind of pimpage since ostensibly the comms are in competition? I can ask Jo if she minds me posting something on SASA though, since it's mostly defunct except for fic/vid postings now (as is Beyond Insane.)

Oh and hey Cosette, can you or Bee give me permission to add tags to these posts? I don't have clearance and if we set up other people to take over, they'll need it too.

Sometimes I don't know if I am too naïve... Seriously? But, but... It's al about K/L and our love for them! (the beyond_insane mods, I have no idea, but I am pretty sure Jo won't mind). I mean, those comms have lots of members... as I see it, they are great places to spread the love. The more shippers, the merrier! (especially now that the show is defunct).

As for the tags... what do you mean? Is that you can't add tags to these posts unless you are a mod?

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

It doesn't seem like I can add tags, I thought maybe it was because I don't have mod status, though Heather seems to be able to use the fic recs tag. I just get an error message saying I don't have permission to add NEW TAGS. (So maybe fic recs was already set up before she started doing it.)

[cosetteferaud.livejournal.com]

Frankly, I have no idea. Mmmh maybe a member only is allowed to use the tags previously set up by the mods?? Anyway. Since you are going to post on a daily basis... what do you think if we add you as a co-mod here? (I have no problem and I think Bee won't mind at all).

(I've just included the "vid recs" tag, btw).

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

That's cool with me. :)

[cosetteferaud.livejournal.com]

ok, I am going to ask Bee --of course I think she won't mind, but I wanna ask first :)

[canadiangirl-86.livejournal.com]

You post whatever you want on SASA, darlin'. ;)

Yes!! I did the same thing when I got hooked in late 2008. This post deffo brings back memories of crying over youtube K/L vids (a number of them yours, my dear). :)

Oops...that anonymous msg was from me...didn't realize I wasn't logged in

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

MINE?! But mine are all happy ones! Ok except for My Medea. All the rest are fluffy crack mainly.

[thegreenkitty.livejournal.com]

LOL, yep, I really like your vids of "Shine" and "Declaration". I guess it was me being sappy and missing our happy pilots...we saw so little of them in the actual epis coming out then for S4/4.5.
