Reactions/Reviews
Absolutely perfect vid mix of visuals and music. Buffy wants a controllable, plastic boy-toy that won't cause her pain and suffering. She thinks she's found that in Riley, but she can't get Angel out of her mind. And then there is Spike. Highly recommended.[1]
There are also music fan-vids that use a song to elucidate or emphasize themes in the story itself, including canon relationships. These are similar to shipping vids but they are different because they are limited to the actual official canon. The Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan video, “Coin Operated Boy” is an excellent example of this as it uses the song and video clips to make commentary about Buffy’s relationships throughout the course of the show.[2]
