Dammit. So, I had this vid I really wanted to make...still want to make actually. And I thought I had the right song. It needed to be edited down, and there was a problem with the final verse, in that it didn't gel at all with what I wanted to do except for the part that did that I wanted to keep. But it was the right song! So I begged for help and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
heresluck did an absolutely fantastic job of getting me an edit that made me go YAY! There would be vid! I was saved! And then I started cutting. And discovered that I did not actually have the right song. It should be the right song. The tone and mood are exactly right. But it is off somehow, almost but not quite right, and not in the parts I was worried about...but in the parts that I wasn't. It is extraordinarily frustrating because it isn't something that can be fixed. I don't think I've ever run into this before. Failures of confidence that I could pull something off, yes. Worrying that my idea was total crap, yes. I actually thought at first that is what I was doing. Except it isn't. This song is not just not going to work even though it should. It is bizzare.
I'm at a loss. I still want to do the idea, weirdly even more than I did before because I got a chance to see some of the clips laid down with the right mood and I really want to see that vid. But it is a songless orphan now and I am worried the right song doesn't exist because I was awfully sure about this one and it wasn't. I think I'd prefer a good old fashioned "I suck" crisis. At least I know what to do with that.
Guess I'm going on a song hunt this week.
