fanvids
Amateur tribute clips
Fanvids are amateur video montages that remix clips from movies, TV shows, or other media, set to music and edited to highlight themes, relationships, or interpretations the creator finds meaningful.
They're a form of fan creativity, often celebrating favorite characters or imagined romantic pairings: She spent hours making fanvids of her favorite ship.
The practice emerged from VCR culture and flourished online.
