Vid rec

All the vids from [community profile] vividcon are popping up all over the place! :D I haven't really been watching vids much lately -- I don't know, my head is just not in a vidspace -- but I have to rec this one that I can't stop watching; I swear I've watched it a dozen times since I downloaded it two days ago:

Some Nights by [personal profile] flummery (Person of Interest; ensemble; spoilers for all of seasons 1-2)

IT'S SO GOOD. It's a really interesting, atypically paced song, with fast and slow parts, and the vidder does an amazing job of picking clips to fit the different pacing and moods of the different parts of the song, with clips that are thematically related to the song but not 100% literal. And I think it's the first PoI vid I've seen that's truly ensemble-based, rather than focused on Reese and Finch -- not that there's anything wrong with that, but this one gives Fusco and Carter an equal share of the spotlight, with the emphasis on the characters interacting as a group rather than on the Reese/Finch relationship specifically. If you don't mind spoilers (and there ARE some major spoilers), I'd even recommend it if you haven't seen the show, because it's very nicely done and doesn't rely too intimately on canon knowledge to get most of it.

... basically it's an awesome vid that has almost no comments and deserves more love. :D
