Day 27 - Where is your favorite place to vid? Where would be your perfect vidding spot?

My livingroom in my old appartment in California... I only vid on my desktop and living alone, staying up all night... no one to bother me, heaven. Now I'm back in chicago and I have to vid locked in my room where no matter what time of year is always 87+ degrees ( Read more... )

Day 26 - What is the oddest (or funnest) thing you've had to do for a vid?I have three, mostly because they were the oddest vids. Touched (Angel/QAF) jumped out at #1, mostly because it was my first true crossover. I got "Angel into Babylon" Astarte tells me... well Angel/Brian does that need much explaining. Also for a video like that it's hard to ( Read more... )

Day 25 - Music - Do you listen to music while you rip source? Do you listen to your vid song immediately before vidding, months before vidding, or just while working on it?

I rarely rip after I know my source. My vids come 3 ways. Either I've had a song in mind for a while and had no idea what fandom, I go searching for a song, find one and quickly ( Read more... )

Day 24 - Betaing - How many betas do you like to use to make sure there aren't any major flaws in your vid? Do you have a Beta horror story or dream story?

Astarte is my general beta now days... though I think she's too easy on me. Also sometimes I think, she thinks I meant to do something that was a mistake. But that is for techincal mostly. Plus ( Read more... )

Day 23 - When you post, where do you post to? Just your journal? Just an archive? Your own personal site?

Journal (LJ and Dreamwidth) and my website (idaresay.net). Youtube as well, except for my X-Files vid, they pulled them and I didn't want to fight it. On LJ the Vidding community and if there already is onea more specific fandom vid journal.

Day 22 - Have you ever participated in a fest or a Big Bang? If so, write about your favorite experience in relation to one. If not, are there any you've thought about doing? And if not, why not?

No. Nothing that wasn't just me and astarte. I worry that underpressure I wouldnt be able to vid, though I can do it with Astarte, because I feel this ( Read more... )

Day 21 - Sequels - Have you ever created a sequel to a vid you made, and if so, why, and if not, how do you feel about sequels?

Yes because Magic Love Child needed a post Buffy's death vid, because vidding without Buffy was just the challenge I needed to start pulling my hair out. The third one never worked out well and then somehow I lost that ( Read more... )

Day 20 - Do you ever get ideas inspired from other people's stories, vids, or art in the same fandom?

No. Well sometimes I take songs from people who have done really bad vids with a perfect song (from youtube), but I try not to to often. Mostly I prefer taking them from other fandoms. Like how i plan to take Matches for Paper Dolls from Astarte's ( Read more... )

Day 19 - When you have vid ideas, do you sit down and start vidding right away, or do you write down the idea for further exploration later?

It usually depends if Astarte is around. Sometimes I wait on songs, sometimes I  wait on them until I find the right fandom, then I start them, but sometimes little else. But I will probably listen to alot.
