I'm still shocked that something plausible came out of all that external source. It was definitely a fantastic achievement. I'm beyond impressed by how you managed to convey the concept so succinctly.

It was definitely a fantastic achievement. I'm beyond impressed by how you managed to convey the concept so succinctly. I think the weirdest part was that I gave up writing the fic because it was Too Visual. (Spent days trying to put into words just what an underwater regeneration would be like.) So I'm not sure how my brain thought it would be any easier to express the thought in an actual visual medium, when the source is practically nonexistent! Totally wtf thinking on my part.
Lulz @ your reasons for not liking Supermassive Black Hole. Wat. Shu-up! :P
That is quite the idea!!! 0_o I was thinking about trying to get to the Sam/Alex thing before he actually shows up on the show in S3, but the Sam v. Sams thing would be kind of brilliant. Does that mean there would be Battle of the Hunts?
This was fun to read even though I'm sure I didn't really get some of it. ;)
Clips with credits are a sad day for two reasons. One because its distracting and two because its terribly unfortunate that they ruin great scenes with credits over them. Post-waterfall scene in Elixir anyone?
I'm on episode 6 of Merlin. Waiting until 8 before I post a reaction post.
It's always weird to write these types of memes. It's like I totally would love to talk about my vidding process, but when I do get the opportunity it's just strange to actually do it. Everything's so private on the internet.
Clips with credits suck ass in both the regards you mentioned. Sometimes the great scenes with credits over htem are salvageable. If you're clever you can maybe punch in there and cut out the credit (I remember running into issues when editing Doll Parts because the great Rahl-trains-Denna opening from Bloodline had credits all over it) but sometimes it's just impossible. But when I wrote that pet peeve I was thinking more of the bagillion vids I've seen that have the opening from Prophecy, of Richard building the bridge. CREDIT PALOOZA!
Well definitely don't hesitate to share again. For someone not gifted in the vidding realm I always love to read/hear about how vidders I admire do their work. :)
was thinking more of the bagillion vids I've seen that have the opening from Prophecy, of Richard building the bridge. CREDIT PALOOZA! Pretty much and its not like there aren't several other scenes of Richard shirtless without credits... But I'm not going to lie, I got a little paranoid and had to think about the one Seeker vid I did to remember if I used scenes with credits. Then I remembered I hate when vids have it so the likelihood of me using them was very, very tiny.
Aw! :) ♥ I enjoyed the trend that went around that one time where everyone did an audio commentary on a particular vid of theirs. For me doing mine was simultaneously liberating and terrifying. But to listen to everyone else's it was terribly inspiring. I kinda wish that trend was still happening.
Don't worry about it, man. I'm sure even if you did use clips with credits it's something you learned from. I have a Firefly vid that I partially enjoy but it had the mixed aspect ratios of the show/film. At that point I didn't know how to fix that lol. Live and learn! :P
Wheee! Part of me wants to go back and try writing that fic one more time, but then the sane part is like, "Leave it!"
I can totally see why Talk Show Host might've been a hard one; it's an AWESOME one though. :D And gosh dang, I am even more curious about your VVC vids this year now. It's the DW one that murdered you, right? This is gonna sound funny but I've only recently broke the habit of vidding linearly. So the main problem with Talk Show Host was that there were days when I could only put a few clips on the timeline and it felt like there was no progression at all! And some of that has to do with the fact that it was an episodic vid, similar to my Premiers vid this year (which is DW, yes). Episodic is a blessing and a curse. Anyway now that I think about it, I had a lot of similar issues with battling the song this year for the Premier. Was a tough cookie to crack. Can't wait to unleash it! :DDD
Your most inspired bit, YES DEFINITELY OMG! *FLAIL* As I told Rho...I need to make that sequel before he actually shows up in Ashes
( ... )
If you wrote it, it would be epic and beautiful and heartbreaking. BUT I WOULD CRY ENDLESSLY INTO THE NIGHT. :/ It's meant to be supah sad, yes. I'm just so taken with the image of a regeneration under water. But anyway it's not gonna happen so we can all relax. :P
Aren't you glad you broke that habit? :) I kind of had that problem with Might Be Wrong, though. I mean, I didn't edit it entirely linearly, but sometimes I had to and I got so stuck and I'd just be fiddling in Vegas for hours without anything happening. D: OMG THIS x A MILLION!!! I don't know why I ever did it. If you're stuck on one part just GO TO ANOTHER. Why oh why were so many nights spent just fiddling with like ONE CLIP?! So silly. *throws hands up* Anyway I can see how Might Be Wrong would have given you epic problems. I'm still greedy whenever I watch it, as in WANT MOAR VID! :P
Episodic?! OOOoooh. *is even moar curious* IS IT AUGUST YET? *want* Lol. My icon is a hint. ;)
(Although I have to say it'd be so sweet if Martha ever met Eleven lol can you imagine
( ... )
Wow, there are a lot of vids for me to catch up with. I wish I were a better vid fan or vidder. I can barely tell why I like a vid or not. It's just a gut feeling but now that you mention it, I do notice when a song has been shortened and dislike too many effects.
