Managing to finish a vid always puts me back in vidding mode, even if I did finish/release it on Passover/Easter weekend (nothing will ever beat my record in bad timing like finishing a vid on New Years Eve though), because I am not good with realizing that people who are not me actually celebrate holidays.

Anyway, I have timelines! Open! It's very exciting...but. I have decided to get my VVC premiere in order, so that I can work on my auction vids without that deadline looming over my head. And. The vid on my hard drive that is both closest to being finished and that I would want at Vividcon is...the Homeland vid.

And it sort of terrifies me. I have thoughts and feelings about these characters and this story and they are fucking complicated...and way, way out of my comfort zone. I'm generally good at vidding my feelings, but they are also usually pretty straightforward. I am not what you would call a complicated person. What if I can't do it? What if it turns out a confusing mess? What if I do finish it and the end result is just kind of meh, and the entire audience yawns their way through it and golf claps at the end despite my sitting over here bleeding on the timeline?

God. I blame Damian Lewis and Claire Danes for crawling in my brain and refusing to let go. Can I sue for that, do you think? A good lawyer could run with emotional trauma, right?

I will watch it and go "EEEEEE!!!!" because HOMELAND.

And then I will cling to you. And also probably ask you to help me explain what the fuck just happened to the audience members who haven't seen it. I am trying my best to be emotionally accessible, but, like...the plot part might require charts and graphs.

Forget the plot. If they want the plot, they can watch the show. The emotion is nine million times more important.

::thwaps you:: People don't need to understand all the actual plot things to get the feel and the impact and to grasp how things/people in the vid relate to other things/people. Didn't you show your earlier draft to me before I ever watched the series? Because I swear I remember getting the emotional significance of [redacted character] to [redacted character]'s actions and you starting to explain context, which I handwaved as irrelevant to my understanding and vid-watching satisfaction at that point. (Or, at least, I did in my head.)

Dammit, my computer got mindwiped TWICE since then, so no way do I have chat transcripts to quote back at you. ::shakes fist at universe:: ::eyes you sternly about not allowing this freakout to derail your vidding::
