Space Girl

[larodem]

Favourited it I did, I did, I did.

[almishti]

When I was little I used to have SUCH a crush on Penny from Lost In Space. <3

[pnumia]

who is blonde on the right at 0.25 in the giant behemoth, has she been in any other films

[retnavybrat]

Kudos to ending with Sarah Jane Smith.

[doceigen]

In the end this is how we KNOW there are NO aliens visiting Earth, I mean come ON!!... have you seen them on TV, "Dancing with the Stars"?? No... there you go.

[retnavybrat]

@doceigen -- My mother used to speculate that any species intelligent enough to create spacecraft that could reach Earth also has enough intelligence to stay well clear of this insane asylum.

[doceigen]

@retnavybrat That's why some of us lament the lack of any achievement on our part,  which could facilitate fleeing this sinking ship.

[katlippencott]

wow. changed alot...

[liathal]

This is brilliant, I love it! You've got great skill at this.

[goddessofbirth]

<3 this!

[elektro3000]

Hooray for Zev! But what about Xev? Could have traded one of Zev's clips for one of Xev...

[eangela3of5]

I wouldn't worry about an automatic link to iTunes- I saw this vid, loved it, loved the song, and scurried right over to iTunes to buy the entire Empire and Love. So thank you!

[JoshyEnkeli]

hahahahaha I love the song XDDD

[minafae]

Love this!

[gregoryvn3]

Still amazing!

[taltos42]

I have seen or want to see everything that is clipped on this video !

[taltos42]

This is aweseom. A must see for an Sci Fi fan

[SothManigan]

Judy Robinson: The most underappreciated space girl of all time.

[guitar4every1]

Shirley Collins!

[guitar4every1]

stolen song.

[teedammit]

That montage deserves a Golden Globe. And the song is sweet.



[ftknecht]

i fell in love with this vid AND the song! yes, I did, I did

[johnbarleycorn3]

Brilliant and me and JKDhol (below) play on the track. What an amazing edit Charmax. Cant wait to play it to Eliza!

[Charmax76]

@johnbarleycorn3 It's a fantastic song, I adore it to little bits. I hope Eliza likes the vid. :)

[johnbarleycorn3]

@Charmax76 Hi Charmax, yes Eliza loves it, WE ALL DO! Thanks a million stars, and a free freezer gun is yours once we start gigging in our space cafe just north of the andromeda galaxy. The Imagined Village xxx

[Charmax76]

@johnbarleycorn3 I live in B.ham but don't know if it will be possible for me to come to London. I don't even know where I'm going to be come September so I can't commit to anything. Thank you SO much for the offer though! x

[johnbarleycorn3]

@Charmax76

Hi there, yes Eliza loves it, we’ll put a link to it on our new web site up soon, do you know how to link this clip to the iTunes store so people can buy the track if they want to? I have no idea how to do it. Also we have our last gig of 2011 Regents Park 4th Sept coming up if you want to come, not sure where you live but if its London we can get you tickets.

[Charmax76]

@johnbarleycorn3 Oh that's great to hear you all love the vid so much and a relief to be honest! I really don't know how you would link the track to Itunes so people can download, I've only ever seen that done automatically before... it's definitely a good idea though because I've had a few queries as to where folk can buy the track and more of your music and I've always pointed them to your website.

[Jkdhol]

Awesome! More More Again Again!

[KimzSendai]

This is brilliant. 

[analwartchicks]

fantastic...except for jodie foster.

[bitstorm77]

Love for Mrs. Peel.

[gregoryvn3]

This is the most incredible thing I've seen all week. Thank you and well done! :)

[noscwoh1]

(ahem) Summer Glau, Amanda Tapping, Jewel Staite, Erin Grey. Other than those lil' omissions, I heart it. Greatly. Awesome song too.

[rubinaji]

@noscwoh1 Summer Glau is in the video at 2:38

[noscwoh1]

@rubinaji My mistake; well caught! I must've blinked and missed it. ;) Still missin' my Kaylee though...

[Meshakhad]

@noscwoh1 And my Sam.

[mshades]

Such fun. Women in sci-fi have come far!

[foufymaus]

Hey Char, I absolutely loved it! I actually found it on the io9.com blog. :D Congrats!

[B4R0M3T3R]

I love this ♥

[kurumais]

terrific jib great editing the clips flowed with the music

[oddquiet]

Replay ... I did I did I did.

[abnmlguru]

Probably flagged for the *brief* shot of Milla Jovovich topless at 1:29

Also, while I quite enjoyed this video, quite a few of these ladies have nothing to do with space, per say. The Matrix or Terminator, for instance.

[Falling100]

@abnmlguru The theme of the video is women in Sci-Fi, not women in space.

[abnmlguru]

@Falling100 Guess the title fooled me :)

[Sunprism]

@abnmlguru I believe Space Girl is the name of the song, not necessarily the title of the montage.

[Charmax76]

@Falling100 Thank you for clarifying that. :)

[Quinsha99]

How did this get flagged? It is an amazing piece of artwork.

[eeedel]

somebody flagged this??

[SokMunki]

1) Great song. 1a) Great video. 2) Holy crap, I need to revisit Blake's 7. 3) I'm not sure if that's a Yorkshire accent; whatever it is, it's adorable. "Freezer gohn". Hee!

[2008dada]

FAR OUT

[thedarklordrevan]

no sam carter?

[Neodalamar]

Love the vid, but... where's Rachael or Pris from Blade Runner?¿?¿?¿

[reddwarfer]

I loved all of it, but for some reason the shot of Scully is my favourite.

[mrs7195]

Love it!

Yeah, the only thing missing is Samantha Carter :-)

[Astrostevo]

Great clip & song. Nicley put together - thanks. :-)

More Babylon-5 and Firefly would've made it even better though!

[Blakut]

From what movie is the sequence at 1:16? (woman firing rifle)

[SokMunki]

@Blakut -- I *think* that's from the original "V" -- not sure if it was the TV series or the miniseries.

[Chalmsloff]

This is really great!

Only girl that didn't really belong in my mind was Trinity from Matrix.

[Ldytwigh]

i can only agree with the others, this is fantastic! :D

[Vermilion042]

Awesome! The only thing I'd add is a clip of Samantha Carter (but that's just cause I'm an SG1 junkie lol). As others have said, I like how you progressed from older sci-fi and "weaker" feminine rolls to recent sci-fi and stronger feminine rolls.

[narfpoit77]

Awesome work. It's so hard to find decent montages of kick-ass women that aren't all T&A. You rocked this pretty hard.

[fakeplasticgrl01]

Brilliant video, and I love it all the more for including Starbuck and River Tam =)

One more suggestion for a bad-ass scifi woman would be Faye Valentine from Cowboy Bebop, but as she's animated I can see how a clip of her wouldn't really fit.

[leftoffcolfax]

Just sitting here wondering what series the clip @ 1:23 is. I need to buy it on DVD for my sister, seeing as she has just about every other series on DVD where women wear strangely colored wigs. Think she got that habit from the live-action Sailor Moon VHS I bootlegged for her when she was in high school.

[rubinaji]

@leftoffcolfax It's called "UFO" it's a british sci fi series. 

[jahoodunrama]

Aeryn Sun, Sarah Connor and Ellen Ripley will forever be my trifecta of badass sci-fi women. But i acknowledge the awesomeness of the rest as well.

Nice video!

[fnaqzna]

Dr. Who is not science fiction. 

[fredfreddy]

Blakes 7 and the original V in the same video! Brilliant!

[rhettomatic]

I'm bummed that there was no Tina Turner from Beyond Thunderdome.

also

Trillian from hitchhikers (tv series or *shudder* film)

Lindsey Brigman from Abyss

Sarah Jessica Parker in Flight of the Navigator

Jennifer Connely in Dark City

Julianne Moore in Children of Men

Rachel Weisz in The Fountain

Sean Young from Blade Runner (maybe Daryl Hannah too?)

Eve from WALL-E (?)

[Charmax76]

@rhettomatic It's a short-ish song and I could only fit in so many women without losing cohesiveness. Sorry! 

[markinyeta]

+1 for Sean Young

[Paws4Pictures]

Awesome!



[tangerinealarm]

Fantastically brilliant.

Especially for the Blake's 7, Doctor Who and Earth:Final Conflict shots.

[zincink]

very cute



[KingKongMovie1]

Fantastic. THX

[compscilin]

Thumbs up for Sarah Jane Smith.

[thedarklordrevan]

No Sam Carter or did I miss her?

[EvilMinion]

@thedarklordrevan I was wondering the same thing!

[Keen314]

@thedarklordrevan Nope, no Sam. Nor is there any Leela from Futurama.

[robbo11a]

Love it love it love it... but not enough UFO or Space 1999

[GuanoLad]

Was that Earth II near the end?

[nobodythe7th]

Why is this flagged??

[mushroomshrub]

This is amazing. The end shot with Sarah-Jane and K-9 was perfect.

[burblebeep]

Love this! Perfect combination of excellent music + sentimental sci-fi-ness.

[accordeon]

Excellent! But who the hell flagged it for mature content?

[starcatjewel]

Fabulous! One minor quibble -- you couldn't find even ONE clip of Major Kira from DS9?

[Rheea2]

Haha! That was great!!!

[UltraVids1]

That is awesome! So many grest sci-fi shows and movies. I love it.

[mymail2005]

Perfectly matched!

[Dragonfirestorm95]

Doctor Who, Torchwood, Sarah Jane Adventures, Mork and Mindy, Star Wars, Star Trek... Good stuff :) Nice song, too

[EuphoricDan]

I <3 K9

[1angelmiike]

great song!!! best

[lonebannana]

pretty damend awesome editing! song is catchy, too



[peterderhalbemeter]

I'm not really a Sci-Fi fan, but that video was brilliant!

[maychorian]

Hot damn, you make the best vids.

[JimPAX92]

Best. Fanvid. Evar.

[missdexterity]

frakking perfect!

[ninthreaver]

that is so cool

[aneinokaijin]

Absolutely wonderful, well timed, great choices for clip inclusion and just executed amazingly! So cool to see the evolution :)

[inokeyeva]

AMAZING!!!

[allora73]

It's great! thanks for this video

[markevens]

LOVE IT!!!!

[bootsiev]

This is amazing I really hope tons of people get to see this, posting it everywhere! 

[CountPacula]

Fifty percent "I remember that!" and fifty percent "I want to watch that"

[Calycanth]

AWESOME! I got chills the second time I watched it...the progression of images (from space mom/sex kitten to leader/explorer) really resonated with me.

[scottishthunder47]

Great clip reel and great song. Thank god the Crusher/Troi leotard scene is included. That was a game-changer for women in SciFi. ;)

[lalaithlockhart]

*wonderful* I particularly liked the Contact bits - I *loved* that movie but had forgotten about it since.

[Ceares]

this is an awesome tribute, made me teary eyed and in general space just creeps me out so bravo to you!

[jessexwren]

Women: doing and accomplishing things.

(Could not have loved this more. Thank you for making it!)

[megaloo]

Simply fantastic!

[cookiepie55]

So much love for this. You are brilliant!

[Framlingem]

This is brilliant.

[riversbend]

This is just absolutely AMAZING. I love it.

[Shifterred]

This is so fantastic I cannot even properly form the words required to gush all over it. Brilliant. Just....brilliant.

[gillianinoz]

Freaking brilliant! And I love that you ended with Sarah Jane!

Isn't it cool how women started off manning the phones and ended up kicking ass?

Well done!

[Dragonfirestorm95]

@gillianinoz Ha yeah that's brilliant!

[FelinaGnome]

@gillianinoz I was soo sad when I heard she died. RIP Elisabeth Sladen.

[CanderousXOrdo]

@gillianinoz Don't you mean womanning the kitchens? loljk.

[ruggerdavey]

This is AMAZING.

[Skyliner12]

Aw, this is an absolutely lovely piece of work! Great song, great editing, as always. Props for ending on the Lis Sladen shot as well. <3

[galad34]

it's awesome! Great song choice and editing :)

[vamysteryfan]

That was truly amazing. Great choice of clips to go with the music. I loved the progression over the years. Fantastic all the way around.

[nellytheninkynonk]

I like the way it almost goes in chronological order. Also the images of Elisabeth Sladen are particularly important in this. Glad you ended on her.
