Vids Resurrected - Uno, Dos, Tres

2026-04-14T04:17:43Z

I've managed to get another two vids up this past week, for Star Trek and Sharpe.

Old Friends/Bookends

If I'd found fandom in my teen years, Kirk/Spock would have been my first slash pairing. And Simon & Garfunkel were one of my favourite music groups in high school. So making a bittersweet K/S vid to S&G's Old Friends/Bookends just made sense to me. Footage is mostly from The Motion Picture and The Wrath of Khan, so fair warning that it doesn't exactly have a happy ending.

The Soldiering Life

Sharpe and Harper are another pairing I adore, and The Decembrists' song The Soldiering Life seemed made for them.

Vids Resurrected: Part Deux

2026-04-04T20:25:56Z

I'm slowly proceeding with getting all of my vids online. Next up are two vids for a couple of early 2000s TV shows, Life on Mars (the UK one) and Spooks/MI5.

Television, Television

First up is the Life on Mars vid, to an OK Go song. Mostly it's a showcase for Sam & Gene and the scary TV girl.

Real Great Britain

Second one is for Spooks (MI5 in North America), a spy show with a pre-Severance Matthew Macfadyen. The vid focuses on an episode guest starring Alexander Siddig as an asset infiltrating a Muslim extremist group. As with so many Spooks episodes, it does not end well for anyone.

Vids Resurrected!

2026-03-18T03:15:45Z

Since I took my vids site down years ago and then had my vidding machine crash on me, my vids have been spread scattershot in various places. A few on YouTube. A few on the Internet Archive. Most MIA. But I was poking around the basement and finally found the disk backups of a lot of them, so I'm going to start putting them back online and up on AO3.

First two show the fully crazy range of my vidding: wacky hijinks to existential dread.

The wacky hijinks part is on display in the first one:

Pop a Boner

A multifandom vid using every instance of male nudity I could get my grubby little paws on.

The song is from the Zero Patience soundtrack. (Zero Patience is a Canadian musical about the alleged first AIDS patient. It's funny and uplifting and fuelled by furious outrage. You should watch it.)

And for existential dread, have a little Withnail and I:

The Fear

The song is by Pulp, and I used every moment of dread and depression in Withmail & I. (Withnail is a really funny movie with a high angst quotient, and I chose the angst over the humour for this one.)

This is the vid I'm possibly most proud of, and I'd feared it was lost forever, so I was so happy to find it in my disk backups.

Two Days to Go...

2019-02-27T13:35:37Z

In two days, my website will be no more.

So, if you haven't yet downloaded any of my vids, they're all up here: http://przed.com/vids/vidfiles/

But that's not totally the end for my vids.

The lovely morgandawn kindly took it upon herself to help me create an account at the Internet Archive, and then went an uploaded nine of my vids. You can find them at https://archive.org/details/@przed.

The vids there are both streamable and downloadable, so that's awesome. And I'll be uploading the rest as I have time.

Thank you Morgan!

End of an Era

2019-01-21T12:25:31Z

A long, long time ago (well at least a few years ago, anyway) I used to make vids. Then came Ros and the parenting thing, and Taekwondo and hockey and life, and it's been over four years now since I've managed a new vid.

Consequently, I've decided to finally close shop on my vidding site at the end of February.

I do have a handful of vids up on YouTube (it's always such a pain, waiting to find if you're going to have to launch a copyright fair use challenge for each new vid, and seeing if this is the vid that YT is going to kill your account over), and I suppose eventually I'll put up more, but for now, this will be the only way to get them.

So, if you've ever wanted to grab a copy of one of my vids, here's the link:

For those new here, there's a lot of Pros, a smattering of LotR, and a bunch of oneshots for various shows and movies ranging from Withnail and I to Spooks to Life on Mars.
