Vids: "A Love That Won't Sit Still" and "Can't Take a Hint" [Astaire/Rogers films]
ETA 2/04/10: I've made some slight changes to the first vid since I posted it (mostly to correct small timing issues) and have reuploaded it to the streaming and download sites.
Title: A Love That Won't Sit Still
Song: Stray Italian Greyhound
Artist: Vienna Teng
Fandom: Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers films
Vidder: icepixie
Length: 4:08
Summary: In almost all of their movies, Fred's character spells bad news for Ginger's, at least for a time--he gets her fired, he ruins her auditions, he screws up her engagements, etc. You just want to tell her to run far, far away as soon as he enters the scene. But then, of course, she would never fall in love with him, and there would be no film, and that would be no fun. Besides, he always manages to charm her in the end...*

Title: Can't Take a Hint
Song: There She Goes
Artist: The Las
Fandom Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers films
Vidder: icepixie
Length: 2:53
Summary: As I was making the vid above, a collection of Astaire characters tapped me on the shoulder and insisted there be a vid from their POV. Fearing strangulation by white tie, I obliged. So here is a vid about how crazy they are about Ginger's characters. Emphasis on the "crazy," because, let's face it, his character is KIND OF A STALKER in most of these movies. ;)
Thanks to rowdycamels and eldivinomarques for looking it over.

* I actually had narrative rationale for putting particular clips where I did in this one--well, moreso than the "movement of feet (or hands, arms, heads, etc.) match the beats/body position makes a good transition with the last clip/generally matches the flavor of the music" that primarily drove the last one--so if there's interest, I would be more than happy to babble about this vid, and about the awesome fun that is vidding musical films, in another post because I am a nerd.
ETA: Rambling accomplished.
