I wasn't really a part of the mainstream vidding fandom around this time, so I missed a lot of these when they first appeared, although I've seen a fair number through VidUKon shows since. It seems like a really long time ago now - back when I was still part of an excited fandom.
I remember when bop-radar was making DLZ - we were both baby vidders at the same time, and good friends, and there was a lot of agonising about how to vid and how to learn and so much fandom stuff. I think it was around then that she had me watching Smallville and having all the Lois and Clark feelings while we were either waiting for or angrily recovering from the BSG finale. One of the things I love about her vids is that she combines such a great sense of timing and imagery with feelings; there are only a small number of TSCC vids I keep rewatching, and this is definitely one.
Break Teen Spirit in Four Minutes is one of those quintessential dragonchic vids I've watched hundreds or maybe even thousands of times since someone first showed me her vids (probably boppy again). It's been more than ten years, and I'm still amazed at how she uses motion and cutting to make these glorious, flowing vids that look absolutely amazing. I remember dragonchic made a number of these vids with remixed audio that I've watched a lot - this one is a particular favourite, but also Wonderwall and Intergalactic Friends, which I think all came out within a few months of each other.
One of the things I'm always struck by whenever I go back to the VidUKon 2008 vids is how difficult it is to find live copies of them, streaming or otherwise. It looks like it's the same with these vids from 2009. Rememebr when the BAM vid vault was going to be the next big thing? Youtube's still around from that period, but I think everything else has gone. I wonder how many vidders who were around at the time have vanished almost completely from the internet, along with their vids?
