Nessa's vids

New revamped page! Almost all vids are now directly accessible from this page.

And one new vid!

If you came here thinking you were going to another page - you have been redirected! Everything is now on this page.

First - some practicalities!

About video formats

I have been using a real media variable bit rate format, .rmvb because it gives the best quality for the least megabytes of any format I've ever tried. Downside is that it is doesn't play well except in the free RealPlayer SP (not to be confused with free download of paid player..) I'm made new version that are somewhat bigger with a higher bitrate, which should up the quality. However, I'm not sure it really helped, so maybe they will be downsized again or replaced with mp4. Feedback is appreciated!

The last vids are in .mp4. The size is bigger, but the quality is good. But they are easier to stream directly instead of downloading and if this takes its toll on the bandwidth, I may need to do something about it.

So please:

DOWNLOAD - don't stream!

About the page

I used to have the vids in several pages, but decided to go for a simpler solution. All vids are linked directly to below, with a few exceptions. I always asked people to link to the root rather than directly to the vid page, to leave things open for making such changes. Unfortunately a  lot of people still have linked directly and will now be having "dead" links. If you have posted such links somewhere - please update! I have tried to make a redirect of them for now, but sooner or later they will be deleted.

I'm also proudly hosting Smutcutters vids. Check them out! She makes great stuff in many fandoms.

She is also my patient and never-tiring betavidder, without whom a lot of these vids would have been... lets just say not so good :-)

Feedback is what we all live for :-)

Fandom About my vids Vids

Lord of the Rings

The first vid I ever made was in this fandom. Sorry to any A/L lovers, you have to go elsewhere. Legolas is spoken for and the guy has a really big axe to prove it :-)

I've shipped the Elf and Dwarf since I first read the books as a kid - not really knowing that was what I did, of course. Who else sails into the sunset together?

I am glad I can still look at Unicorn and think it is ok, although I now see lots I could have done to improve the editing. The next one came later, and I am more pleased with that from an editing point of view.

For more on the Elf and Dwarf and related matters: Axe and Bow Old Archive and the new automated Axe and Bow Archive.

Unicorn 39 MB .rmvb

This is the story of how Gimli and Legolas came to share a boat and eventually, a horse.

The Elf and the Dwarf 36 MB .rmvb

I was very disappointed at the portrayal of Legolas and Gimli in the movie Two Towers. But I decided I had enough good Legolas and Gimli moments to be able to tell their story the way I saw it - the Elf and the Dwarf that overcame ancient hostility and distrust, and came to love a person of another race.

From Hell

(movie)

While I was waiting for the Pirates DVD to show up, I was watching a bunch of Depp movies. One day I was listening to Placebo and just heard the perfect song for vidding this movie. It is naturally marked by my lack of editing knowledge and experience back then, but I still love the song to the tragic story of Abberline and Godley.

Some of us tried to kickstart a slashfandom and fics where written, but it never caught on. Shame..

I ended up making one more vid at a later point, which is a more experimental editing wise and trying to capture more of the "supernatural" atmosphere.

My Sweet Prince 43 MB .rmvb

As the movie, the video is about two Victorian policemen working on the Ripper case, Inspector Abberline (Johnny Depp) and Sergeant Godley (Robbie Coltrane).

Try Not to Breathe 30 MB .rmvb

I have always loved this R.E.M. album and suddenly one day this song was crying for an Abberline and Godley vid. It's trying to get the lookout from Abberlines rather confused and closed-up mind, as he struggles with the past and the lack of a future.

Pirates of the Caribbean

The Curse of the Black Pearl

From the first glimpse of a You Tube trailer, it was "wow, finally a properly slashy Johnny Depp movie". Naturally, I thought the pairing of choice would be Jack/Will. Naturally I was quickly caught up in the amazingness that is Sparrington.

Second movie kind of killed my interest in the franchise, but I still read and love all Sparrington fic I come across.

I HAVE done a Jack/Will vid as well, and some more character study type vids.

Well, I haven't got a girlfriend anymore, so I might as well go pirate hunting.
- Jack Davenport in audio commentary

With special dedication to Alicia who betaed and inspired many of these, as well as sharing my belief inthe possibility of a From Hell fandom.

Sparrington:

Wildflower 26 MB .rmvb

Letting go of an impossible dream...

The Hours 39 MB .rmvb

This vid is using material from several fan sources, all credited in the vid. The cloak-and-dagger nature of the Sparrington relationship.

Underneath 35 MB .rmvb

"Sparrow, I'm not your Prince Charming... and stop looking at me like that!"

Jack/Will:

White Flag 31 MB .rmvb

"When he encounters Jack Sparrow, Will turns from this lovable, earnest dork into a romantic leading man. His hair comes down, his body language changes, all due to his interaction with Jack and the effect they have on each other."
Gore Verbinski

Jack/Everyone:

Everybody Loves Jack 28 MB .rmvb

Captain Jack Sparrow and his image of the world and himself.

Will/Various:

The Apprentice 39 MB .rmvb

A.k.a. The Education of William Turner jr...

The Man from UNCLE

This fandom is totally thanks to Internet. I heard of it through slash fandoms as one of the still evergreen classics but had never seen it. Then it came to a TV station near me, I started to watch and that was it.

Firstly I have to credit the MFU fandom here, which is amazing in so many ways and stimulated the interest in the first place. They have also been supportive in word and deed to a budding vidder, as you see on the right.

More vidding depended on TPTB getting this out on DVD. They finally did, and I will be vidding more here. To start with, I signed up for Festivids and to my delight was "forced" to finally make the MFU vid that has been brewing in my head for years. It focuses on later seasons.

Safe from Harm (link to page)

This is made from digitized VHS, painstakingly done from material very kindly sent to me by an Irish fan. It is first season only and in B/W. It has its own page, to do justice to the wonderful artwork another fan made for the vid.

Trust 67 MB .mp4 NEW February 2011

This vid was made for Festividder 2010, for ash48.

Illya and Napoleon are doing what they do - together!

Highlander

The TV series

 I have never gotten around to making a proper vid, but it is an old and enduring fandom for me. Mainly because whatever you would say about the TV-series and ::shudder:: some of the movies, it has some of the most amazing fanfic ever written. Particularly D/M fanfic are so consistently good that I can handle anything TPTB will throw at us.

This never came to a TV station near me. But I was sat down and fed a lot of Methos episodes by fellow slashers, and buying the DVD's was next.

DM - The Minutes 16 MB .rmvb

This is not a vid, more like vignette. It's inspired by watching Methos episodes on DVD with fellow slashers, and by many stories using variations over this idea. And that Duncan and Methos are almost unbearably cute here...

Red Dwarf

British scifi comedy TV series. Like every TV series varying, but the good stuff is just outstanding and it is always funny.

Everything fans have to make up in other fandoms - here it is canon. Gender bender, male prenancy, you name it, RD has it.

I got hooked on this when it came to TV-station near me after having heard of it for some time. Ended up buying all the DVD's and doing a lot of vidding.

I have even done a fan-documentary based on the extra material.

Rimmer/Lister:

Handle Me With Care 25 MB .rmvb

My first Red Dwarf vid and mostly a funny romp through the trials and tribulations of one A. J. Rimmer, hologram.

Have Love, Will Travel 31 MB .rmvb

A slightly more sappy and and angsty take on Rimmer/Lister from an after SMAC perspective.

Learning To Fly 30 MB .rmvb

A Lister POV vid, the rather steep learning curve for the last human alive. If he only wasn't so terrible at driving space ships...

Documentary

Down for the moment - will be up again. If you are eager to see it, send me a line.

Brokeback Mountain

Vidding wasn't my first idea when watching this, but the song just wandered into my head and demanded a vid.

This is my tribute to a beautiful love story.

Just Wanna Be With You 32 MB .rmvb

Choices, always choices...

Inspector Rex (Kommisar Rex)

This is an Austrian (German language) TV-series, entertaining and a must for dog lovers!

I liked the series, and in season 3 it has a serious turn for the slashy. I ended up being so obsessed with vidding it that I bought all first 6 seasons on DVD from an Australian web shop - the only place to get it.

I have actually found one fanfic for exactly this pairing (the human one), and keep living in hope that more will come some day.

Hero 31 MB .rmvb

We all need a hero. Rex is everyone's hero, but without his master he is lost and lonely.

I have had a lot of good feedback from people who never seen the TV series, so it seems to be entertaining even with no knowledge of the source material.

A Touch of Frost

This is for those who do not know, a British cop-show of top quality. Not generally what I would consider slashy, but there was something about how the relationship Frost had with his first side-kick developed from mentor/filial to more grown up with mutual respect. And the end - well if you don't know I won't spoil the vid.

Again - DVD's had to be bought and the itch scratched.

This is also not exactly a fandom of sorts, but people seems to like the vid.

No Other Love 31 MB .rmvb

This is about a unique love for a unique person in ones life. You can see it as any kind of love you like, after all slashy is usually in the eyes of the beholder...

Star Trek TOS

I have of course heard of the Grandfather Of All Slash Pairings since I came into fandom. Some of my favourite MFU and Highlander writers were doing TOS as well, but I resisted. The series had never been on TV here and from what little I've seen, I thought it was mainly a rather camp sixties thing.

Via the new movie I finally had to get TOS and watch it, and found out I was wrong. It was good solid science fiction entertainment with intelligence and humour.

And the slashyness just blows you away. Is this from the sixties? With all the slash following it has, the average MFU episode ends with Napoleon flirting with female of the day. The average TOS episode ends with Kirk flirting with Spock...

Kirk/Spock:

You 42 MB .mp4

A first season view on their developing "friendship".

T'hy'la or Getting There 31 MB .mp4

Flirting with Vulcans are just so much fun....

Dedicated to my fellow TOS Rewatch workers - ariadnechan , rainbowstrlght , and spookyfbi !

It's been a blast and an enourmous help in locating good clips for vidding.

Multifandom Occassionally I make one-off and more improvised stuff that I end up keeping on the website for posterity.
