Ack, ack PANIC. I have just realized that I basically have only a few weeks left to finish my festivid assignment before I am traveling to Maryland to see my kiddo on his winter break. I won't be back until after the deadline, and don't have any way of vidding while I am there so it's pretty much do or die time.
I had a head start in sourcing and setting up the timeline and having a song since I started this vid as a treat before I even got it as an assignment...however I have sort of forgotten how to vid for most of this year, so even with that I have maaaaaaaaaaaaaybe 10 seconds on the timeline (five of which I hate). I am reaching critical panic levels now. The only thing I can think to do is to force myself into the timeline every day until I leave and hope it comes together before then. *whimper*
In other news I finally saw Pink Ribbons Inc. since it is on the Netflix now, and if you have access you should absolutely watch it. Well, if you want to be angry at how you've been duped by the Pink Ribbon corporate culture that is. Which, you should be angry. There was nothing new to me in it, basically most of the same stuff I've been having apoplectic fits over every October since I got tossed head first into the land of breast cancer. But it's really nice seeing it all laid out visually like that. If you ever had any doubt at all that the whole Pink Ribbon movement is basically a sham designed to simultaneously defang actual breast cancer activists while raking in a fortune in marketing and branding for big corporations, this should lay those doubts to rest. The pink is a LIE. A horrific, damaging lie that makes a lot of people a lot of money on the backs of the suffering of women while throwing them under the bus. Fuck pink ribbons.
