Trying to throw me off the scent, are you?

Mm, Chaila has been working on some non-TSCC stuff for WisCon, and has been bemoaning, publicly and privately, that WisCon has cut into her tightpresent vidding output. (It could be a ruse, but if so, she's been running that ruse very consistently, even when the convo isn't about tightpresent.) So I'm comfy saying this behemoth wasn't hers. Also, if it had Chaila's, there would have been less Derek, Felicia Burnett would likely have been one of the characters, and Chaila would never have resisted including Sarah. Additionally, Chaila tends to build her vids differently than how this is built. I'm quite confident this isn't Chaila's. (Is Chaila sniggering at me right now because Losing Our Religions is hers?? WE SHALL SEE.)

You're right, Losing Our Religions could be a collaboration; I hadn't considered that. And I don't know enough about the mechanics of vid collaboration to know how likely that is. Nor do I know who I would consider for additional collaborators.

However, I also note that YOU just used the proper vid title, instead of following my (incorrect) usage. Now, you might be the kind of detail-obsessed person who scrolled back up to the top of the page to check the real title before typing -- or, alternatively, the kind of person who would never ever confuse a vid title, no matter who had mistyped it and how recently -- but most people would have followed my priming just now, never realizing they had done it. The original vidder, however, would not be so susceptible... ;-)

(Confirmation bias! Such a seductive thing!)

As to your guesses...

Strange Angels: No, that ten-minute Terminator vid was by [livejournal.com profile] sweetestdrain. The only other Terminator Universe vid I know of is [livejournal.com profile] cherryice's from festivids the other year, so... I'm no further than you on guessing on that one.

Deep Red Bells: Well, I did mention an interest in that character back when the rules/structure of the challenge was being discussed. So that was probably me. :-D

Small Words, Bigger Lessons: I considered Chaila for that, too (I considered Chaila for everything, because she's one of the few whose style I know well enough to bother with the consideration). And it well could be hers, but that's nothing that I feel any confidence about.

I have no guesses for Dream Before nor Drought.

And I know what Seekingferret made, so you surely don't want me commenting on that, do you? ;-)

But re Her Cold Metal Hands: there are hardly any lyrics at all, if that helps? However, a substantial portion of the vid is the vidder punning on the lyrics; you might find the subtitled version more satisfying than the non-subtitled.

Here's a present. It's tight.
