I may have gotten a bit attached to Danny Pink on Doctor Who. I knew I wanted to make a Danny/Clara vid pretty early on, but decided to wait until the end of the season. Boy, am I glad I waited. This would have been a very different vid if I hadn't.

This song has also wanted to be a vid since June or so. I knew it was right for this fandom, but at the time, I'd pretty much burned out on vidding Doctor Who, and I thought it was too similar in theme to previous Whoniverse vids I've done (particularly One Mississippi). So I held off, waiting for another fandom to fit itself to the song. MCU never quite connected for it. When I received my Festivids assignment -- for which I match SEVERAL fandoms -- I gave it another listen in case it would work for any of them. It didn't. It just made me think of Danny instead.

So.

While some of the most recent Doctor Who episodes haven't really done it for me, I'm seeing a lot of meh in the fandom regarding Clara, and that just won't do. Because Clara Oswin Oswald is pretty great. And I believe the only way to properly welcome a new companion is with a vid. Obviously.

For the record, this song has always been a Doctor Who vid waiting to happen for me. First it was gonna be a Doctor/Rose vid, then an Amy/Rory/Doctor vid, but in the end, I'm glad I waited for Clara for this one.

Apparently I'm doing spring cleaning on my vidding WIP folder! Basically, I spent all of last night editing together a soundtrack for the Hunger Games vid I'm itching to make, and then tonight I channeled my frustrations at the lack of accessible HG source into finishing off a Doctor Who vid that I hadn't touched in over a year. This one is nothing special, but it's been sitting unfinished and taunting me for about two years now, so here we go. (Seriously, I started it around the end of Doctor Who series five.)

I originally meant this as a sort of companion piece (ha!) to Book of Days, which was all about the kickass ladies of Doctor Who. So this one's in honor of the many dorky boyfriends of Rose, Martha, and Amy. ♥ I cut myself off at the end of S5, because that's where my headspace was when I'd started it, and because it's almost unfair how much more awesome footage there is of Rory than of the other guys once S6 is taken into account. (Sure, Jack got his own show, but he's only in a handful of actual DW episodes; Mickey lasted for the entirety of RTD's tenure, but only sporadically. Rory has a distinct advantage at this point.) One-off boyfriends include Adam ("Dalek" and "Long Game"), Riley ("42"), and Tom ("Last of the Time Lords").

Unexpected lack of daytime rehearsal today is unexpected! Time to do some housekeeping. By which I mean post a vid.

I realize that it may appear that I am being absurdly productive when it comes to vidding these days. Which, okay, having finished my Buffyverse watching, needs must lead me to other activities in my spare time. But I'm also mainly just going through my backlog of half-completed vids and actually, y'know, completing them. This one I started back in December or thereabouts, but it took the new season of Who and PONDS ON MY TEEVEE, ALL OF THE HEARTS FOREVER to reignite my interest in it.

And returns me to my endless love affair with vidding Vienna Teng. Never let it be said I am not completely predictable in every way.

Okay. For the record, I have no idea where this came from. I heard this song for the first time on Friday night. Three days later, there was a vid. So I guess that's kind of like Monty Python's killer rabbit of vid bunnies.

Backstory on the music: this song was written by the brother of the director of the most recent show I worked on, which closed on Sunday. He's a professional singer/songwriter who just finished a project to produce one song per week for 40 weeks until his 40th birthday. This is the final song. And as a theater professional, my god, it speaks to me so much. Because you devote all this time and investment and putting your social life on hold for months, and then it's just -- done. And, fuck, now what?

We've all experienced it in some form or another.

The Doctor shows his companions the wonders of the universe, all of time and space. And it's marvelous and huge and impossible, and then it ends. How do you go back to normal after that?
