In the vein of the fanvid threads of the last couple days, how about pick a fanvid for one (or more!) of your fandoms that, in your opinion, pretty much sums up that fictional work and broadly encompasses what it's about?

I always think of this piece of wonderfulness for the Star Trek franchise/universe:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80_HKdvNhgA

I'm gonna think about this, but first I have to say that you shouldn't be allowed to use anniversary tributes for this video. Cheating, I say!

ayrt

But it's fanmade! It doesn't look it, but it actually is. However, I concede and make another offer: Futurama, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huorKXIhnQ0

Hmm, I don't know anything of Star Trek besides

1) Captain Kirk and Spock do stuff in space and Spock isn't human.

2) Patrick Stewart's in it.

This vid really didn't teach me anything. It was just people, and aliens, and aliens with people. I couldn't tell you what the show is about from watching this.

Sorry OP

nayrt

Um...the thread actually doesn't say the vid you pick should be informative to people who are unfamiliar with the fandom. Maybe you could make a separate new thread for vids that should teach non-fans?

Doctor Who (ALL of it) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuVCKfGliFs

I don't know about the fandom in its entirety, but this vid remains one of my favorite summaries of the Doctor:

(great Star Trek vid btw, that made me all emotional especially during the DS9 clips ;_;)

Not a fandom exactly, but this video sums up Tumblr nicely. In light of the Tumblr discussion we had earlier this week, I think it's appropriate. :)

The Avengers (2012): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gCBiJ3QJnk

(shitty picture quality, but it's still by far the best made of all the Avengers vids with that song)

I don't think this fully encompasses the show (it focuses a lot more on the downsides than the actual show did) but it's the best I've found:

The West Wing - http://greensilver.livejournal.com/535562.html

I see that someone's beat me to the punch on the Doctor Who "What About Everything" vid.

Ah well, here's another for Sherlock Holmes (Grenada, but I guess it's also as close to book canon as you can get on screen).

How I Met Your Mother: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLRKi_3-ljg&feature=slpl

(This was made way back before season 5 aired, but idc. This is what the show really is, before the awful set in.)

Iron Man: Hologram - http://sisabet.livejournal.com/433565.html

Captain America: Sorrow - http://greensilver.livejournal.com/602940.html

For Code Geass, it's a toss-up between these two:

Hero - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0xQJqBzRb0

Requiem for the God Emperor - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbpcu3C1PQQ

Mr. & Mrs. Smith: Baby, Cool Your Jets - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HMYZCp4_h4

And, uh, what SPN is about according to fandom? xD

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQptF_iCfok

(I also think that the song "High School Never Ends" sums up Buffy perfectly, but haven't found a good vid yet. *sadface*)

This only really describes New Who, and only Nine and Ten, unfortunately (though I'll just rec the trailer and the "What About Everything" vids above for great vids about all of Who). BUT it is what first gave me a raging desire to check out Doctor Who when I first watched it a few years ago (because I adored the vidder's other work) and it touches upon all the things that makes the show glorious, so I'll rec it here:

http://di-br.livejournal.com/232363.html (Viva La Vida)

(Battlestar Galactica) Signal to Noise by Keewick/Darlulu. Second vid listed here: http://darlulu.livejournal.com/129249.html. Only up until Season 3, but it hits on all the relevant themes of the show.

(Once Upon a Time) Quantum Theory by Beccatoria. Available streaming here: http://beccatoria.livejournal.com/162528.html. Season 1 only.

(Daybreakers) Me and Lazarus by Mithborien. Available streaming here: http://mithborien.livejournal.com/107792.html.

(Prison Break) Ragged Ass Road by Firenze. Available here: http://f1renze.dreamwidth.org/115235.html. Season 1 only.

(Little Mosque on the Prairie) King of Spain and All for Swinging You Around, both by Kuwdora (the first vid got me watching the show). King of Spain is available streaming here: http://kuwdora.livejournal.com/396544.html. All for Swinging You Around is availabel streaming here: http://kuwdora.livejournal.com/497677.html.

Okay, I know a few Doctor Who vids have been done already, and this actually only summarizes the Tenth Doctor's run, but it's the funniest thing ever if you're familiar with the show, with a fantastic framing device and a mash-up of lots of songs for various characters/episodes/ideas/themes/events/arcs. Plus, I really want versions of this vid for all the other Doctors too:

I was going to have some fun with this and link to a Thor fanvid set to "I am my hair", but sadly I can't find it online now. :( *see icon*

I don't really look up fanvids that much and have basically looked at only two for Homestuck, but since I first watched it I've always thought this one suited the series really well.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Apx1pSs30Q

...Oooor I'm biased because i basically love this song. Could be either.

Princess Tutu - Hold Me (Håll Om Mig)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9197GTl1ASg

Wonderful video - with the accolades to prove it: Winner of Best Action & Best Of Show for the Anime Boston 2006's Anime Music Video Contest'

Ballet, tutus, and swords, this the video that made my guy friends watch a terribly girly sounding series and realize it was damn good.
