So is it time for Festivids yet? No? Now? How about now? Now?
I have been dealing with waiting for golive by making [an unspecified number of] treats, but I am just not a fast enough vidder to pull another one off in two days.
Oh! I can talk about a revelation I had regarding my vidding during all this. It's why I tend to vid slow. I am, dear friends, an indecisive vidder. For any given vid there are usually multiple directions one can take and since vids are limited by time constraints that means DECISIONS. And decisions means letting go of this, that, or the other thing because it is just not physically possible to fit ALL the clips in one vid. I've tried, it usually doesn't go well unless 'completely muddied, overcrowded, impossible to watch, what the hell was the point here, confused mess' is your preferred style of vid.
This is when we hit the opposite problem. Having decided on a direction means now the amount of source available to make a given point goes from too much to, 'oh god, do I have *enough*' And then at some point the timeline is almost filled and the problem of not having enough space returns when suddenly one is staring at very little wiggle room, but still more to say. DECISIONS.
I hate making decisions. I have an existential crisis over choosing between a strawberry or blueberry pop tart for fuck's sake. Which is how I will manage to worry over staring at the same blank five seconds of timeline for days because what if I make the wrong choice. This is ridiculous because if it's wrong, it's easy enough to change and often times identifying why it's wrong helps decide what would be right.
This will, of course, not stop me from metaphorically standing frozen next to my toaster with two boxes of delicious fruity pastry and then walking away with just a cup of coffee instead...because the world will possibly end if I take a bite of strawberry pop tart and it turns out what I really wanted was blueberry. MY LIFE IS HARD.
