vids with a strong focus on Rodney's hands (in action)

[skaredykat.livejournal.com]

Hi -- once again a request away from my usual "all fic (almost) all the time" focus, but a recent story made me wonder if there are any good vids out there with a strong focus on Rodney's hands moving while he talks/Rodney gesturing, that kind of thing. McShep or gen preferred, but any recs most appreciated -- thanks!

My favorite Rodney McKay vid is "Stress" by Rache and Sandy -

There are certainly clips of Rodney's hands moving, though I would say Rodney in his wonderful entirety is the focus, not just his hands.

Great minds think alike -- this was also the vid immediately recced by two people at stargate_search -- and oh that was awesome! With indeed, lotsa Rodney-hands! Thank you (all) for the rec. :)

Okay. That was seriously cute. Thanks for suggesting it.

Last Resort (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6yVbx9idv0) is mostly Rodney!action movie but there's scenes with had waving :).

None of these focus solely on Rodney's hands, but there does seem to be a high preponderance of scenes with Rodney's hands in them. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any of these as streaming, so if links to downloads are okay, I'll just post up the links to the vidders' post for downloading....


One of my favorites (love the song!) is "Feel Good Inc." (http://venculus.dreamwidth.org/2230.html) by (http://venculus.dreamwidth.org/profile)venculus (http://venculus.dreamwidth.org/).

While maybe not so high on the appearance of Rodney's hands, "Grace Kelly" (http://video.inkquill.com/download.htm) by dkwilliams does have a lot of Rodney in it. (link will take you to page to download the video -- it's in the 2nd column from the left, 1st mentioned under heading "Older Vids")

Heavy on the hand-action in zelempa's "If I Were Gay" (http://www.merples.com/vid/vids.shtml) -- it's the last video on the page.

In obfreak's "McKay's Philosophy on the Meaning of Life" (http://obfreak.livejournal.com/19171.html), Rodney's hands do a lot of explaining.... :P

Also lots of hand-action in "Pretty Fly for a Jedi" (http://www.penumbris.com/archive/viewstory.php?sid=60) by Davechicken.

Some more hand-action in "Pinky and the Brain" (http://chayiana.livejournal.com/22596.html) by chayiana.

OOoooh!!! I found one with streaming video..! There's lilly_the_kid's "Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbows" (http://lilly-the-kid.livejournal.com/4610.html) -- has the option for downloading, but I don't know if the download link is still active. :D

Thanks for these! I'd seen and loved Grace Kelly before, but several of the others were also really fun. :)

I also did some poking around google and delicious myself, and found "hands" (http://newkidfan.livejournal.com/170481.html) by newkidfan -- very McSheppy even if alas too short and not quite enough action-hands -- so I'm now well supplied with vids featuring Rodney's hands in a prominent role! ;)

My Brilliant Idea by the awesome Lim has a couple of great sequences where Rodney's hand-gestures really accentuate the words to the song.

I tried to post this with an "embed" of the youtube video, but it didn't take, so here's a link to the vid:

Thanks for the rec, another fun one! :)
