Supernatural Station

In keeping with the holiday spirit of giving, I have compiled this list of my favorite holiday-themed fan videos to share with fellow fans. Some are funny. Others are dark. There’s even some snark. (Sorry…couldn’t resist the rhyme). I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Don’t forget to spread some holiday cheer by letting these talented vidders know how much you like their work. You can leave comments and ratings at the url links provided.

If you know of an outstanding holiday video that should be included on this list, please let me know by email or in a comment below. I will continue to update this list until the new year begins.

A song video tribute to John, showing his life, his love for his sons, and the grief and pain of his loss.

I'm a sentimental fool when it comes to John and this video shows that. I originally made it back in January '07, but shelved it because I was dissatisfied with how it turned out. Over this past weekend, I looked at it again and realized that it wasn't half bad. After deleting some scenes and adding in some new ones, it is now ready for public viewing. I hope you like it.

Morphed & Manipulated #2:
The Winchester Love Children: Mary

It's been a while since my last set of morphs. I had planned to do Jessica, Meg, and Jo, but I got sidetracked. When I finally got around to it, it was after the season 2's finale had aired and my curiousity was peaked by the revelations about Sam and by the affection Bobby showed for Dean. I thought about who is really Sam's daddy. Could it be the yellow-eyed demon? And how about Dean- he and Bobby showed a real father-son connection. So my subject of this morph set is Mary Winchester, Sam and Dean's mother and John's beloved wife. Please note that there will be no morphing between Mary and Dean or Mary and Sam. Even though the actors are not really related, it’s still too icky to think about. Sorry to disappoint those who were expecting more Sam and Dean morphs. Next time, I promise.

Morphed & Manipulated #1:
The Winchester Love Children: Cassie

A few days ago, I was playing around with morphX, a free image morphing video software for the Mac, and I thought, why not use morphX to see what Dean’s and Cassie’s love child would look like? Kinda like what Conan O’Brian does on his late nite talk show, but without the exaggeration. Or, if you are a complete nerd like myself, like that great episode of ST:Voyager where the transporter accident melds Tuvok and Neelix into a single individual called Tuvix. These morphs are an actual blending of facial features such as eyes, nose, mouth and chin from photos or from video frame captures. Hair, neck and clothing are completely ignored in the process and has to be cleaned up with image manipulation afterwards. Now to the morphs:
