Vid recs

[jadesfire]

So, a while back I decided to stop being scared of vids and actually watch some. It never really took, though, and I stuck to ones that got heavy recs from friends or were by people I knew.

But sometimes taking a risk pays off. micewerefurious has 4 fanvids. Doctor Who + the Musicals = Wins Everything.

I'm serious. Click here for Doctor Who does Les Miserables, and here for Miss Martha Jones does Cabaret (with Captain Jack as Elsie). No, seriously. Why are you still reading this? I mean it. Stop. Click. Leave a comment. Come back if you want but go. Go now.

Shoo.

I understand next to nothing about vidding, except when I'm seeing good ones. And few have caught me as much as these. I think it's the cleverness of them, especially in 'One Day More'. The (what I can only call) casting, the timing and the pacing just *worked* for me. It helps that I love the songs, but I think that mostly means that if they'd been awful, I would have known it. But they're brilliant, and I'm never going to be able to listen to the songs again without grinning.

On a completely and utterly unrelated matter, does anyone out there speak Portuguese? I'm reliant on Babelfish for a fic, and that's never a good thing...

tekalynn, who's on my flist, speaks Portuguese--want me to pass on a question to her? I'm sure she'd be happy to help.

Ooh, I might, once I work out how much I'm going to need translated. I'm hoping to mostly crib from phrase books, but a native speaker could be useful if I attempt anything more complicated.

Thanks!
