There's a lot of feelings in this show!!

I will always remember Piece of Me because it was one of the first vids I ever saw that pulled no punches: it had something serious to say, something real and painful, and it wasn't holding back in saying it. I really love that, and I still think the vid has that "....ouch" factor.

This was such a well-balanced show, such a mix of different emotions!

I really liked the pairing of Piece of Me with King of Anything - Piece of Me was definitely more familiar to the VidUKon audience and Britney's story is pretty generally recognisable, and I feel like watching that first made me much readier to understand King of Anything and read it on a deeper level without knowing much about Sidney Crosby. That first shot where he looks cornered by all the microphones packs such a punch, and I think without knowing the fandom, it might not have been so impactful without Piece of Me setting me up to immediately read that clip in a certain way. Terrific bit of curation!

Plus I love the second half with all the nostalgic fandom feelings, that was such a rush when we watched it at the con!
