30 days of Vidding Meme
So this awesome vid Meme kicked off when we were away on holiday thanks to sdwolfpup. I've loved reading my flists answers and decided I'd do it too. A bit of catchy uppie needed so bear with me. If you're interested all 30 questions are here .
Day 1 - How did you first get into vidding, and what was the first fandom you vidded? What do you think it was about that fandom that pulled you in?
How did I get into vidding? I was never much into online fandom.., - barely dabbling in the BBC cult forums was the whole extent but in 2003 I went to my first convention 'End of Days. A massive Angel the Series con held in Blackpool with a guest line up to die for. During the Q &A breaks they screened slayerverse vids. I was hooked. Look there's music and images that go together how cool. Afterwards I got home and on a dial up connection, downloaded every single slayerverse vids you could find. sdwolfpup, sdwolfpup and sockkpuppett vids leading the favourites list. I spent a year watching all I could find (thank you BMVD) and then, after mentally compiling a little pile of vid bunnies decided I it was time to have a go myself.
My first fandom - well that would be Angel The Series My first editting attempt in Aug 2004 was 'Viva Las Vegas' an episodic vid to Angel the Series 'The House Always Wins'. The original was later tweeked in 2006 and that's the one you can seeembedded under the cut
What was it about that fandom that pulled me in - Can I say everything? At first it was all about the fandom love rather than the vidding. Fan first, vidder second. It was just another creative outlet to express love for my shows. It was tricky to begin with - I'm not technically adept so the learning curve (even with WMM) was a touch steep. I couldn't see me doing this for any old show so it would had to have been one that was important to me, and special which it still is after all this time.
Day 2 - Name the fandoms you've vidded in, and how many vids you've made in that fandom, and if you still vid in it.
TV Angel The Series (16) yes
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (20) yes
crossovers of the whedonverse series (10) yes
