Abstract

Vids are derived from television and film sources, and approximate the music video in appearance and duration, but are non-commercial fan works which construct creative and critical analyses of existing media. They are made from personal home media collections, and reveal home media as a rich archival source. In this chapter, I argue that the home media collection has created conditions for media fans’ creative expression and critical analysis. Vids are investigated from the VCR era, the antecedents of the current digital vid form, with particular focus on vids made of Star Trek and its spin-offs. Significantly, Star Trek vids which use clips from both the original series and the films point to an erasure of medium-specificity in a home media context.
