Hello, and welcome!  Here you will find my fan-made music videos.  Just LOTR-themed ones at this point, but maybe someday I'll branch out. 

Now then, because I'm poor and won't/can't pay for webspace, all I have is 15 MB of space to work with, which means I can't have all my videos up on one site.  I've already started a second videos webpage, and I'll need a third one too, maybe even a fourth.  Who knows.  I just keep making more... and if I ever get my hands on an .avi file of Two Towers, well, this whole thing will start all over again.  There are a couple good ideas for videos I have in my mind which would require footage from all 3 movies.  But, since I no longer have a T1 line, and it would take about 3 years to download a movie rip, it probably won't happen.  Oh well.  Enough of that.  Now for the videos!
To save my videos: RIGHT-CLICK on the image and choose "SAVE TARGET AS" and then save it on your hard drive.  I'm afraid you'll have to save it, instead of trying to just open it, because firstly, I don't have the bandwidth for people to be watching videos on my site.  And secondly, they're all compressed into zip files so I could shave off some extra memory.  So you'll have to save them and then unzip them.

These videos were made with the Windows Movie Maker program, which came included with Windows ME, so they're not full of fancy-schmancy special effects or anything like that.  And in order to be able to upload them, I had to save them as medium quality, so they're a bit grainy, but still well worth the download, I promise you.

You will need Winzip (or similar) to unzip the files, and Windows Media Player to view them.
Sort of a history of the Ring.  LOTR set to Metallica.  VERY cool, even if I do say so myself. Enter Sauron

I think this has got to be my favorite.  It was the second video I ever made (and the first one isn't available for download for a reason--that reason being that it was crap).  It's a little glmpse of all the horrible things that have happened in Middle Earth, thanks to the One Ring.  It wasn't going to be about the Ring, when I first started making it.  But that's what is so interesting about the creative process.  We artists aren't REALLY in control of our creativity.  If we're lucky, we can at best sort of influence the direction our creativity takes.  But, unexpected detours, such as happened in the making of this video, can be quite interesting.
The song's theme seems perfectly matched to the story's theme: you can't turn away from evil, you have to confront it.
Turning to Mordor
Staus: Online!

Alright, I know I just said "Enter Sauron" was my favorite, but really, I love them all and find it difficult to pick a fave.  But this one is up near the top of my list, believe me.  I love Pink Floyd, and this song in particular.  It also lends itself perfectly to LOTR, because they share a common theme: you can't stand aside and let evil have free reign.  You have to fight it, even if it means going to Mordor, alone (with Sam *wink*).
The Fellowship seems to spend more time sprawled on the ground than on its feet. Ringthumping

My first comic video.  And probably my best.  It seems to be most people's favorite.  To be honest, I made the videos SPECIFICALLY so I could have a "Horn of Gondor" solo (you'll see what I mean when you download it).  Plus, after viewing this movie more times than I'd like to admit, I realized something... the Fellowship is certainly NOT very steady on its feet.  In fact, the members of the Fellowship probably spend more time fallen on their prats than they do standing, walking, fighting, or anything else (unless it's eating, for Merry)!  And so, "Ringthumping" was born!  Enjoy!
Gimli's Too Sexy
Staus: Online

Just my little tribute to the absolutely STUDLIEST member of the Fellowship, Gimli Son of Gloin.  *drool*

Hey, nothing beats his soft googy face and 15 square yards of facial hair!
More vids available on my second videos page:
For Jess--a NICE Boromir vid from me.  Shocking!
Pretty self-explanatory.  It's about Frodo.  And his journey.  Hence, "Frodo's Journey."

The hobbits really ARE goonies... Sam quite literally.  So why not use the Goonies' theme song? They need all the help they can get--even if it's from the Beatles.

Videos waiting for a home:
A video all about the Fellowship's Asshole in Residence, Boromir. It's about All the Pretty Hobbits... oh yeah, and an elf and a human dart-board too. Dedicated to Orlando "Groovy" Bloom
