tightpresentTitle: Losing Our Religions
Recipient: Sanguinity
Vidder: ghost lingering
Music: Covers of "Losing My Religion" by Jacqui Naylor, The Huge, Anouk, Elin Swenson, Nina Persson, Tori Amos, Paola Lezzi, Elvis Jackson, Swandive, and YouTube user genper2009. Additional audio from The Conet Project, disc one. (For more information about The Conet Project, go here.)
Summary: Life is bigger. It's bigger than us.
Vidder Notes: Much thanks to the people who took a look at this as I was working on it. Couldn't have done it without your comments and cheerleading. (Leaving out names to preserve what anonynimity there may be.)
This series was inspired by something that Sanguinity wrote in her sign-up: "Stories, and faith in them, and the manufacture/manipulation of them". Because clearly the only response to that is to make a series of vids about the the stories we put faith in (the stories we tell ourselves), and how that faith can falter or strengthen through experience. In order of appearance the characters whose faiths the series explores are: Terissa Dyson, Andy Goode, Jesse Flores, Kacy Corbin, Lauren Fields, Riley Dawson, the unnamed Latina, Derek Reese, "Catherine Weaver", and James Ellison. Sarah and John Connor are not included in this series: they *are* a fucking religion.
Re: Lyrics. Each of the cover versions is slightly different, so I'm just going to link to the original REM lyrics for reference. If anyone would like lyrics for the individual vids, I can provide them upon request. Lyrics for REM's Losing My Religion
Finally, Sanguinity, I really hope you don't hate the song "Losing My Religion" because you just got ten vids using different versions of that song that, together, total just shy of 20 minutes. Here's to losing our religions.
Content Notes: Spoilers for the entire series. Character deaths, both on-screen and implied; dead bodies shown. Attempted suicide & suicidal ideation. Violence including guns, physical altercations, explosions, etc. Basically what you see on the show will, more or less, be what you see here. For the record, Sanguinity, brief sections of this do reference Christianity and use Christian imagery, but not in a way that would tweak you, I think, given what you said in your sign-up. (i.e. Ellison is Christian.)

And Andy and his love of computers and how enthused he is ... he just breaks my heart. (Sarah you should have told Andy everything and then he should have helped you stop Skynet!!! And he would totally be a good role model for John and -- compared to John, Sarah, and Derek -- he would probably be the most realistic person when it comes to dealing with Cameron!)
Vidding Riley really made me wish, again, that the show had done more with her; in my ideal season three in my head Riley would reappear -- she's such an interesting character and concept and my heart just breaks for her.
And Kacy! I just feel like Kacy thinks she is actually in a different show -- a sitcom about people living in LA, maybe. Oh Kacy, I hope that Judgement Day is stopped so that people like you never have to lose your religion of the goodness of the world.
SO, yes THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING. <3
