So, I'm ripping and scrubbing through ALL of Buffy, 'cause I've decided to finally do a BtVS vid I've been wanting to do for years, probably end up being for Premieres this year.
And, you guys, I love this show. I'm working on season 7 right now, and though I know there's a lot of...dissatisfaction with the later seasons, I dunno. I still love it, and love it hard. All of it, really, even the much maligned season 6. There are shows that I have gotten frustrated with and thought went on too long and suffered for it. Buffy is just not one of them for me. I finished out the last season satisfied with the run of the show and how it ended, and I remain so. Whatever issues I may have had along the way are more than heavily outweighed by how much I love these people and this world.
I flit around to a lot of different sources and fandoms and whatever, but there are very few shows of my heart. Buffy, Doctor Who, Homicide. And god, it's good to spend some time with old friends right now. Whatever anyone says, 'Are you ready to be strong?' will never fail to cause me to simultaneously burst into tears and yell FUCK YEAH at the same time.
My shooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow.

I am, at the moment, a teensy bit overwhelmed at having SEVEN SEASONS of source to go through. And by teensy, I mean panicking, but I am pretty sure it's going to happen anyway, 'cause I want this vid.
Also, there may be more on the way after, because once I've got all the source on my computer, prepped and ready to go, there's no reason not to go back and maybe poke at various ideas I had through the years but never got around to.

I recommend that you do what I didn't and skip episodes that aren't critically important to your vid's theme. There's no law that says you have to clip every single ep!
Also: MORE! More is better! \o/

I gotta say this is where I am *really* seeing the advantage of having avisynth. One of the reasons I never got around to vidding Buffy on the mac is the sheer hard drive space it would require to convert everything for the way I vid. This way I can have *everything* on my hard drive ready to throw on the timeline at will, and it's wonderful :)
Not being able to work directly with vob files was pretty much my only complaint ever about FCP.

Buffy's one of my Shows Of My Heart too. For all its wobbles, and it did have them, I loved it start to finish. It has a depth and intelligence and consistency of vision coupled with transformation of character that continue to astonish me.
