I can't get into talking vids. They ruin the music for me and so the immersive experience. There are some vidders who incorporate sounds from the source in time with the music and that works great. But talking? Unless it happens during a long section without lyrics and the vidder has successfully elided the background music from the source, all that happens is the talking yanks me from the montage that's building in my head.

Agreed. I sometimes don't mind a line or two, usually right at the end of the vid or right at the start (where it can't take me out of the experience), but it's very rare for me to find a vid with dialogue in the middle where I wouldn't prefer it without.

I mean, I think part of it is that it creates a conflict between where the narrative is stemming from. Who is creating the narrative of the vid? In a classic vid with only the musical track, it's the track that's creating the narrative. As viewers we look (listen) to it to tell us the story/message/argument of the vid. But when the vid then brings in dialogue from the source, it disrupts that locked-in quality we have with the musical narrative (undermines it's authority, in a manner of speaking).

I do agree with this. It can be done extremely well.

AYRT

That's it exactly: what is the narrative authority? It should be some combination of the music/images and the viewer, but when the characters speak, we go directly back to the source. Some very few, very talented vidders can get away with a word or two. I'm thinking specifically of that Marvel vidding duo Grable424 and dcprod, who did Glitter and Gold:

But in this Daredevil vid, Cantrous does a marvelous job of sound integration, but I still think there's too much dialog. Is it really necessary? A few lines work, but at the end it's just noise interfering with the climax of the vid. imho.

Both vids are brilliant, and this is as close as I could get with the comparisons to try to illustrate the jarring effect.

I don't watch a lot of fanvids for the reasons discussed here, but that Glitter & Gold vid is really dope. Thanks for posting it!
