Teen Wolf vid recs

All vids may contain canon-typical gore and violence. Season 2 spoilers ahead!

Am I not attractive to gay guys? by mitsucat2010
This is like Stiles Stilinski: Greatest Hits of Season One.

Young Blood by Heathyr Shea
This vid is supposed to be a tribute to the cinematography of Teen Wolf. I don't think it adds anything to the canon TW narrative but dear lord it's gorgeous.

Suddenly the Air is Cold by Loki
My notes on this are "sad angry scared lonely teenagers in over their heads: THE VID." The vidder's notes are much more coherent. I love the coloring, especially with Scott's storyline.

And then there's you by WeepingStarGazer
This is a great Derek/Stiles vid. It ends a little abruptly but I like the framing device. This is one of the "troubled with angsty backstory" takes on their relationship (that is, canon-accurate!).

welcome to the new age by ChemAttaction
An ensemble vid with amazing cuts. I have a giant ~thing for vids with a good bass line where the cuts match perfectly so this vid was basically tailor-made for me. Also 0:25-0:27 is GENIUS.

Animal by Zee
This one comes with additional warnings, so please read the notes. It focuses on Lydia's season 2 storyline and does a much better job of it than the actual writers, IMO.

Meaning by newkidfan
Ugh this is so so good. I highly recommend downloading it so that you can watch at a larger size. The entire vid is split screen, with Derek's POV on the left and Stiles' on the right. It's gorgeous, the song is perfect, the editing is great, you should go watch it now.

Thanks so much for this list!!! I went through and watched them all. My favorite with a bullet is Animal, which I think uses the source really well to express something the source isn't aware it did (or at least I highly doubt it). Meaning is very well done but I found it hard to follow, and I agree that Welcome to the New Age makes absolutely excellent use of its music--I just wish it had a more narrative feel. Thanks again for the list so I didn't have to wade through a zillion vids to find these good ones! <3

I had to watch Meaning three times before I felt I'd really gotten it. A first watch to get used to the technique and then once focusing on each half of the screen. So it was probably the fourth time, actually, when I could watch to see how the storylines wove together.

Animal is amazing. It will be interesting to see if Peter and Lydia interact at all next season, and how those interactions go. I think you're right that TPTB have no clue what they put into that storyline but I'd love to be wrong.
