kneel before...oh, you know

Huh. I finished a draft of the Zod vid right before VVC (and foisted it off on anyone who showed even remote interest there) but I haven't really looked at much since aside from a frustrating attempt to find or create logoless source, and I got distracted by the Tess/Zod vid that I am working on now. Watched it again this morning, and though it still needs work, I think...I think I really like it. Which is weird for me. Doubly so this time because I've been kinda freaked out about vidding the Headstones 'cause what if I got it wrong and Hugh hated me forever (like he'd ever see or care about my vids, but just go with it 'cause that's how my brain rolls). I'm digging it. Even though everyone who watches it but me ends up feeling bad for Clark by the end. I've decided against attempting to fix that because I think it is probably the appropriate response, and I'm just warped. I am strangely okay with that.

Also, not nearly as warped as the Tess/Zod vid which I have to keep taking breaks from 'cause I'm like...that's in my brain, really? It would be better if it was being made in the mindset of, like, this is why this is wrong and not that I am attracted to this. Yeah, including the part where it's all mixed up with death and fucked up power games and pain and stuff. Oops? I'm not entirely sure I'll be releasing this one at all, but I get twitchy when I don't so I probably will.

There is no real point to this post. I'm behind on my f'list/circle and kinda turtling at the moment (the car thing threw me off my game badly) and mostly playing Cake Mania and poking around in Premiere. I just kinda randomly wanted to talk about the vids I'm working on, 'cause damn I love vidding. I really, really do, even at its most frustrating. And these ones I won't even be doing anything with until I have the DVDs so I blather instead.

So this is not just all about me, what vids are you working on right now if you wanna talk process and ideas and how you're feeling about your timeline? I miss Vividcon.

Ahahahaha oh god. In theory, I have several vids in progress: another Star Trek reboot vid (which I am definitely going to finish); another Treme vid (which I may let go, at least for now, because I think I may have already said what I want to say about Treme); and a vid to my all-time favorite obscure indie movie, which I am very happy about even though it will probably have an audience of three (me, renenet, kass). At least everybody else will get to say "well, THAT explains a lot about the inside of h.l's head"? Plus I am supposedly in the middle of rewatching Buffy for my various Buffy vid ideas, although I haven't actually watched any episodes in months. And also I have a bunch more FNL vid ideas that I want to work on, though that too will require some rewatching.

But the semester's about to start, so the odds that I will actually accomplish anything significant between now and mid-October? Not good. ARGH.

Since I switched computers most of my vids in progress only live in my head now. This is probably good because it means I am actually working on current ideas and if I go through the hassle of reripping/downloading stuff again it will be a good indicator it is a vid I really want to make.

I wanna see your favorite obscure movie. Is it the one you keep telling me about and I keep saying I need to see it but never get around to it? This could be motivation. Also motivation to do a Buffy rewatch because OMG Buffy vid from you again...someday. I have a few things left to say in that world as well. And I miss it sometimes. Buffy wasn't just the fandom of my heart (though it was and is, right next to Who) it was the place where I first participated in fandom.

You always remember your first, right?

Pssst. Logoless source if you're willing to wait for the downloads can be found here. You want the ones that have "iTunes" in the filenames. :)

[fan_eunice]

Thanks :) but it nearly crashed my browser just clicking on the link and then I could not make head or tails of what was what in the sea of blinking graphics. I am also kinda wary of the iTunes streams since I used everything I could find to convert my own iTunes copy of season 9 and every single one looked like utter crap (and I was starting with the HD versions, looked *gorgeous* until I tried to get a viddable file out of them)

It is only a couple weeks out to the DVD, anyway. *HUGS*

[rhoboat]

I did a test download not long ago and the iTunes files there are actually converted into XviD. But yeah, the site is confusing and never mind that it's all in German. o_O Since you're waiting for the DVD, I suppose it doesn't matter. :D

*HUGS BACK*

I'm working on the crack vid for Dragon*con but I have yet to start the damn thing. I literally haven't opened premiere since I finished the muppet video.

God give me strength, man. I have a week and a half to finish this thing.

Seeing this post reminded me that I have a Smallville-themed-thingy for you, but don't know where to send it. Since I've had "KNEEL BEFORE ZOD" rolling around in my head for days, I feel it's the least I can do to repay the favour ;)

I like listening to you talk about vidding, even if I only have the vaguest idea what it all means. Makes me miss writing, but I love hearing about people's creative process, whatever the medium.

[fan_eunice]

HEE! I have had it rolling around in my head the last month :D :D :D

OMG you are so sweet. Send email or send real mail?

*nodnod* I adore hearing fic writers babble about fic even though I can't write at all. Creative process is fascinating.

[jadesfire]

Real mail! I have a Post Office addiction that needs feeding ;)
