The Fan Vid Subculture

Just sharing...after I went to the "genealogy of vidding" session at the 24/7 DIY festival at USC this year, I've been looking at fan vids with a whole new respect. There are some really intelligent, funny videos out there and I'm really impressed with a lot of "regular fans'" editing skills. In the above House video the vidder took two films that the same actor is in and created a third meaning by intertwining them. It's really clever! At the DIY session I went to, they called these vids "visual responses to a visual text." For anyone who is into anime, below is a groundbreaking, award-winning Evangelion vid. Again, what a fantastic job!
