Egads that's an amazing vidders list there lol (it's also looks like a funky long list too haha). Wow, okay, moving on. If you haven't seen this. Stop reading now and go watch it, now. I mean it. This has to be one of the most crazy unique things I have ever watched hands down. This is so up there. From the "loading" to the "character selection screen", this is one cool vid. It's also rather long, just a little over the ten minute mark actually. Which, to be honest, I had no idea how long it was until after I watched it already and read a comment about the length. I was in awe and was just like "no, it could not have possibly been that long, it didn't feel like ten minutes *scrolls up* really?" haha. Any vid, that is this long and makes it feel like it isn't a minute over 3, is impressive. Matter of fact, I was left still wanting more. Is that incredible or what?
Now a bit for the actual parts. OMG, they're so amazing. The mission statements, with the pass or fail results (with fail being in red lettering), the song selections, the clip choices, the power of it all....okay, I'm going incoherent. All the parts matched up so beautifully, you can't even tell that this is a collab, and, actually it doesn't even matter about the very slight vidding style difference any way, because you're "playing" from the perspectives of different characters. I'm so in-love with the whole idea of this vid *sigh*. If I had to go with a favorite part, I'd have to say Caroline, but then again, it's Caroline and I love her character so lol; but that part was so emotional for me. However, I love every part as well, Jenna's, Bonnie's, Katherine's (got to love the seduce the Salvatore's bit with the level of difficulty to seduce haha), there's something about Rebekah's "live for a thousand years" followed by "failed" that just gets me, Stefan's, Klaus's, Elena's, Tyler's, Damon's, I salute all the parts and their respective vidders. Job well done.

Damon & Katherine - Bloodstream (Vampire Diaries)
GlitteryRockstar
This video of Damon and Katherine was so beautifully done, with all the colors and masks, and was edited so well. It showed such a touching side to Damon and his feelings for Katherine and all that was lost with her. It flowed so gracefully with the clips and colors and the music, and it was not hard to get lost in how he might have felt when he was with her. The song was featured in the show, and just a beautiful song.

goodbye | matt & caroline
lostalongthwayy
This is such a bittersweet overview look of Matt & Caroline's relationship from start to finish. The voiceovers chosen made the video much more effective, and angsty. Also they were placed at the appropriate times throughout the video. The vidder really took the lyrics and brought them to life with her scene selections. The effects were perfect and subtle, not in your face, they complimented the video well. The transitions and the use of making some of the clips black & white really made the video stand out. This video really did show the best of Matt & Caroline's relationship and made their breakup even more heartwrenching than the actual scene itself. Overall this video is one of the TOP videos I've seen edited to this song. Very well edited.

Vampire Dairies -Damon/Elena- when the wrong one loves u right
supernaturalcutie69
I’ve seen many Delena vids with this song and this one is by far the best. I love the clips used throughout the vid. So many touching scenes that just make my heart melt. The car scene is one of my favorites. The coloring is beautiful. Very good storytelling. I like the clips where Caroline, Bonnie, John, Rick and Stefan are trying to tell Elena to stay away from Damon. Especially Stefan and Caroline look very convincing. Oh and I love the song too. Just an awesome vid!

Stefan & Elena - Losing Your Memory (Vampire Diaries)
GlitteryRockstar
This was a beautifully, heartbreaking look at Stefan and Elena's relationship after season 2. The song fits really well with the situation, when Stefan gave up Elena and his life to Klaus for a cure to save his Brother Damon's life. The effects flowed beautifully and flawlessly with the clips & music. The clip choices were cleverly chosen to make the video even more devastatingly sad and heartbreaking. I absolutely adore the coloring, it's pretty and toned down to give the video a angsty feel. Overall the video was well edited to the song and this is definitely one of the best Stefan and Elena videos I've seen on youtube.

Damon & Elena // Time After Time
sculdeurienne1
There's something about this vid that keeps me coming back for more. I can't tell you how many times I've watched it, 20, 30, 50, 7,117 (the current view count)? It just holds such a special place for me and that's simply because it is so beautifully done. The song kinda has a magically feeling to it and so does the coloring; which is gorgeous. I love the way all the beats are matched and the clip choices that were selected are amazing. I personally love the "I hear the clock tick" match at 0:19 with an actually clock that kind of cascades across the screen. However, that's not the only clock imagery that is used here. If you look closely enough, the vid is filled with it, and given the song used, I think it's beyond brilliant. Seriously, even if you're not Delena, you have to check out this vid. It's just so beautifully made and edited. I literally could go on and on about it, down to every last clip selection, but I'll be kind and stop, so you can go watch the vid for yourself; which you totally have to do btw, because it's amazing.

Damon Salvatore - THE VAMPIRE DIARIES - Time Is Running Out
hiddenfangzz
This is a video dedicated to Damon and touches on each of the women in the 1st season he had contact with and shows their demise at his hand, yet still portays his lighter side. I love that this music and the clips go so well together with the story. You know exactly what this video is about. The overlays are beautifully done, and edited very well from start to finish.

TVD // Elena The Vampire Slayer (Humor)
sculdeurienne1
This one is just awesome and genius! I’m a huge fan of both shows. The vid shows the similarities between the characters of the two shows. There are more of them than I actually realized. They seem to bother some people but not me. This made my day! Seriously, could this vid be any better?? I think not. Oh and my favourite is Katherine as Faith.

I love this video so much, it shows the happy, sad, & devastating stuff that has happened in Vampire Diaries so far. It's heartbreaking, sad, and has a happy feel to it, it literally brought happy bittersweet tears to my eyes. The clips chosen matched the lyrics really well. The clips matched each beat in the song perfectly. The coloring is gorgeous, and kinda makes the video stand out much more. The effects and transitions were simple but were very effective in making this such an amazing video. Overall this is probably one of the best Vampire Diaries Cast videos there is on youtube, it's definitely a must-watch.

VD ×•× Damon - Losing Your Memory (Happy New Year!)
x0rainydayz0x
This vid has never failed to break my heart every time I've watched it, without fail. I often frown upon vids that try to use on screen text in this way, where it neither lines up to the lyrics or the voiceovers, but this is an exception. The words, from the way they were used, to the actual word selection, made this vid and told such a beautiful, heartbreaking story. While watching this vid, I found myself reading along, the images providing added impact (perfect selection I must say), and the music causing my heart to crack just a little bit more. If this vid doesn't make you want to pull Damon in for a hug, I don't know what will. Make sure that before you check out this one that you have a box of tissues prepped and ready to go. Happy crying (yes, I know that's an oxymoron).

*VID OF THE ISSUE
Click the link above to read the issue review
This was a gorgeous and beautifully edited video. It was as if you were right there in the video with Caroline and Klaus. It showed a softer side to Klaus, and how he was falling for Caroline - and vice versa. That possibly this deep dark vampire had more of him to offer, that he was capable of love, and showing it. Caroline was glowing in this film and the vidder did a superb job of capturing it.

Elena Gilbert - Stronger (Vampire Diaries)
GlitteryRockstar
A great girl power vid! There are tons of Elena vids with this song, I counted 19 on youtube alone! And this one is my definitely favorite. Elena is awesome, I love her. She has been through so incredibly much and still she’s going on strong. She never complains. And she really kicks ass! This song is just great for her. I love the coloring. I’m not really a fan of voice-overs but I think they fit this vid pretty good. And the fact that there are just a few of them, makes them stand out better.

Elena Gilbert - Skinny Love
paradisedanifm1
This is a season 1 + 2 overview of the hardships of Elena Gilbert. This song fits Elena's situation in life perfectly, and the song is also a favorite of mine. It's such a sad, heartbreaking song, and the vidder did the song justice, as well as characterizing Elena. I really loved the coloring, it made the video more angsty. The clip choices were perfect, and it showed all the relationships Elena has and how they stood at the end of season 2. This video really drew me in, and had me sobbing by the end of it. The editing, effects, and transitions were perfect, everything in this video flowed perfectly. I loved the use of overlays to match some of the beats, and the use of Parallels. Also the use of the "freeze frame" effect was used uniquely and really helped the video along. Overall this is a perfect Character study of Elena Gilbert.
