|---|
| 1 | Wouldn't it be Nice | Laura Shapiro | Multi | The Beach Boys | 2:40 | 2001. My first meta vid, arguing for better queer representation on TV, was subsequently seen as an argument for gay marriage. It was a big stretch for me at the time. | vid on AO3 |
| 2 | Transparent | Laura Shapiro | Buffy the Vampire Slayer | Polychrome | 5:22 | 2002. The first time I used any effects in a vid. This was also the first time I tried flipping the argument partway through the vid. | vid on AO3 |
| 3 | Come Together | Laura Shapiro | Farscape | Spiralmouth | 4:08 | 2004. Could I be scary? | vid on AO3 |
| 4 | Circles | Laura Shapiro | The West Wing | Angele Dubeau & La Pieta | 3:25 | 2005. Could I do an instrumental? Could I make a vid without a narrative? | vid on AO3 |
| 5 | Late Model Love | Laura Shapiro | Buffy the Vampire Slayer | The BOBs | 2:44 | 2005. Could I be funny? | vid on AO3 |
| 6 | Monster | Laura Shapiro | Monsters, Inc. | Henry Rollins | 2:13 | 2006. Could I make a Lord King Bad Vid? | vid on AO3 |
| 7 | I Put You There | Laura Shapiro and Lithium Doll | Buffy the Vampire Slayer | Mary Schmary | 2:01 | 2006. Can I make a vid pairing live action and homemade animations? With Lithy I can! Showing a fangirl right there in the text wasn't something I'd seen done before. | vid on AO3 |
| 8 | The Lonely People | Laura Shapiro | Doctor Who | MystiQuintet | 3:53 | 2007. The Doctor-Rose relationship made me feel all kinds of ways. I loved it, I lusted it, and yet I knew it wasn't right. Could I show its impact on everyone else in their world? Could I learn how to do split-screens? | vid on AO3 |
| 9 | They Don't Know | Laura Shapiro | Doctor Who | Tracey Ullman | 3:11 | 2009. Could I make a cartoon out of live action? Could I incorporate hand-drawn effects? | vid on AO3 |
| 10 | Arrivé | Laura Shapiro | La Belle Et La Bête (Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast) | Jorane | 2:10 | 2010. Could I make something truly abstract? A mood piece? A tone poem? | vid on AO3 |
| 11 | Stay Awake | Laura Shapiro | Multi | Suzanne Vega | 2:11 | 2010. I hate this trope SO MUCH. | vid on AO3 |
| 12 | Hurricane | Laura Shapiro | Battlestar Galactica/Farscape | Joan Osborne | 3:14 | 2010. Could I make a constructed reality vid? | vid on AO3 |
| 13 | Only a Lad | Laura Shapiro | Multi | Oingo Boingo | 2:58 | 2012. This is the second time I featured fangirls in the text -- in the lyrics, in this case. This is really a successor to The Lonely People in terms of its essential argument about "collateral" damage being actual real people who get hurt or killed. | vid on AO3 |
| 14 | Scream | Kass and Laura Shapiro | Doctor Who | Usher | 3:32 | 2013. I can't seem to stop interrogating my Doctor Who feelings. YAY! And also OMGWTFNO. | vid on AO3 |
