After *mumble* hours on the WaybackMachine last night, I think I've determined the vidders for all except the Parody Intro.

They seems to be by vidders involved with the CreatiVentures, CreatiVideos, and T 4 Productions digital vidding collectives - specifically Theresa (aka T), Todd Allen, Jamester, and Angie.

(Lunacy Reviews lists Matt Savelkoul as one of the vidders for vid number 18, but I'm a bit dubious of that since the website also lists him for certain vids when the vidder's collective websites for those vids do not.)

As far as I can tell from their archived websites:

CreatiVentures = Angie, Jamester, T, and Todd Allen
CreatiVideos = Jamester & Todd Allen
T 4 Productions = Angie, Cat, Elena, and T (and later Dave)

Sunday Word: Monocoque

monocoque [mon-uh-kohk, -kok]

noun:
1 a type of boat, aircraft, or rocket construction in which the shell carries most of the stresses
2 (automotive) a type of vehicular construction in which the body is combined with the chassis as a single unit
adjective:
of or relating to the design characteristic of a monocoque


Examples:

The figure is a best early estimate for repairs the car, and could yet go up - Red Bull are still looking into whether the monocoque can be repaired or will have to be replaced with a new one. (Andrew Benson, British Grand Prix crash to cost Red Bull £1.3m, says Christian Horner, BBC, July 2021)

The monocoque is the largest single carbon fiber piece in the automotive industry, according to the company, dramatically cutting weight and improving safety. (Sean O'Kane, Rimac reveals the Nevera, a 1,900-horsepower electric hypercar, The Verge, June 2021)

Using a unibody, or monocoque, construction makes these Mustangs stiffer and lighter than a body on frame design. (Karl Brauer, Test-Driving The 'New' 1968 Ford Mustang By Revology Cars, Forbes, November 2024)

The front section, including the cockpit survival cell and the jet engine's air intake, is a carbon fiber monocoque, similar to a top flight race car (and now the occasional road car). (Jonathan M Gitlin, Bloodhound SSC: How do you build a car capable of 1,000mph?, Ars Technica, November 2018)

Origin:
French: mono- + coque, shell (from Old French, from Latin coccum, berry, from Greek kokkos) (The Free Dictionary)

Xena Fanvids VHS Update!

[personal profile] aurumcalendula
The Xena fanvid VHS arrived safely!

There's 30 fanvids on it (~2 hours of time in total)

Most don't have vidders listed.

I think it might be a mix of VCR and digital vids (there's some with effects and/or fanart included) and I think the tape is from sometime after 2001 (since there's footage of the finale in some vids).

Some (not all) have significant horizontal pink and green lines - I'm wondering if that's from the VHS or the footage in those vids (and/or a result of me initially having the VCR set on LP instead of SP).

I have a DVD-R of it recorded in LP quality and I'm recording one in SP quality.

Guardian Reverse Exchange 2026. Image shows Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan facing each other, gripping the Sundial between them.


The Annual Interdimensional Haixing-Dixing 520 Day Reverse Exchange is coming back for 2026!

520 sounds like "I love you" in Mandarin, so May 20th is a bit like Valentine's Day. To celebrate, we're back with the eighth annual 520 Day Reverse Exchange. As the name says, this is a reverse exchange: instead of making your request and that request being assigned to a writer/artist/fanwork creator, here:
  1. You sign up with the kinds of things you enjoy creating.
  2. You choose three writers/artists/fanwork creators based on anonymised ads.
  3. You make a request of each of them based on what they enjoy creating.
  4. You are assigned one request to create for, based on your offer.
  5. You receive a gift from one of the creators you chose.
(An updated rules/info post will go up before sign-ups open, but here is last year's for reference.)

This year's schedule
Sign-ups part 1 - offers: Sunday 15 March - Friday 27 March
Sign-ups part 2 - requests: Saturday 28 March - Friday 3 April
Matching: Saturday 4 April - Tuesday 7 April
Assignments out: Wednesday 8 April at the latest
Deadline: Wednesday 13 May
Work reveals: Wednesday 20 May (there is no anon period)

I was watching [personal profile] killabeez's awesome Special Ops: Lioness fanvid the other day, and now I have a bit of a vidbunny for a different fandom.

Any idea if there's a cover of Can't Help Falling in Love with a similar vibe, but with a male vocalist? (there's a ton of covers of it, but I haven't found one that fits what I'm looking for yet)
