vidrecsThings have been quiet on the reccing front, so let's try another theme, shall we? (I promise to keep these a little more active in the future).
Theme #2: From now until Sunday, April 22, rec character studies.
As always, vid classification and definition is subjective and difficult to pin down, so basically if you think it's a great character study, then you can rec it. For those for whom a working definition would be helpful, a character study is a vid that explores or analyzes the personality traits, motivations, emotions, changes and/or narrative of a particular character. That is, a vid that explores some aspects of a character in-depth. This doesn't mean that other characters aren't part of the vid, or even that the vid doesn't compare and contrast multiple characters, or that others might view a particular vid as a relationship vid or some other type when you see it as a character study. Just tell us why you interpret it as a great character study!
As always, you may rec more than one vid for a theme, subject to the regular two recs per day, per poster rule.
If you're reccing for the theme, please tag your post with "theme: character study".
Posting template, if you want to use it:
Subject Line: Fandom Name: Vid Title by Vidder's Name
***
For reference, there will likely be upcoming themes relating to various kinds of relationships, including shippy, friendship and family, as well as themes relating to ensemble vids, crack/humor vids, crossovers, vids critical of a source, vids utilizing effects generally or particular effects, action vids, and instrumental vids, in some order or another. List subject to change at my whim. Suggestions for themes always welcome!
