Vidding 2009
I see everyone doing these, though I don't really have much to show:)
My Vids from 2009:
Blue on Black - posted January 23
Rebirthing - posted March 11
Carnival of Rust - posted May 5
Crashed - posted July 28
When You Roll The Dice posted December 22
My favorite video this year: That would probably be "Blue on Black", not the best editing wise, but I just remember how easily the clips just seemed to fit together and it was the first where I truly were happy with my manips:)
My least favorite video this year:
Tricky, I really like them all, but will probably have to say "Crashed" cause I haven't really watched it a lot due to the pairing and Castiel.
Most successful video
That would have to be "Carnival of Rust". The feedback to that one was overwhelming and the tarot sequences turned out much better that I could have hoped for.
Video most underappreciated by the universe, in my opinion:
Uhu, that's a tough one. I have felt pretty darn lucky with the reception of all my vids. If I have to pick one, it's be "Blue on Black" just because it didn't get that many comments and I also received the most negative though constructive feedback on that one, which I of cause appreciate, it helps me learn:) And it's still my fave*g*
Most fun video:
That will have to be "Carnival of Rust". For once photo shop was collaborating with me and I had tons of fun working the still images into the moving clips.
Video with single sexiest moment:
Heh, thinky, thinky, I have plenty of slash moment to pick from but my fave must be from my most recent vid "When You Roll The Dice". There is a scene in the first verse with the lyrics " Where your gardens have no walls" where Sam kinda hovers over Dean thinking he's asleep. Then Dean takes Sam's hand, pushes it down his stomach and peeks up at his brother. Love that moment:)
Biggest vid fail
Well I never really were that happy with the ending of "Crashed", I was running out of ideas and had to cut a lot of the music away, so the ending became kinda abrupt, plus the editing in the "break" where Castiel saves Dean from hell should really have been a bit different from the rest of the vid. I regret I didn't change the coloring or pacing here. Oh and "Rebirthing" is one that suffered a lot under my repetition syndrome, I really need to go back and remaster some things about that one someday.
Hardest video to make:
Have to be "Crashed" It just made me realize how much it means to really be interested in what you vid. It was interesting to try out another pairing but my heart just wasn't really into it and I think it shows.
The things I've learned this year:
I have learned something new about the possibilities of my editing software every time I made a new vid and I have learned to give my fantasy free reign and not be afraid to try out different colorings and effects.
I have also become much more aware of pacing and not to use so many repetitive images as I used to. And last I have learned that I really, really need to have my heart with me, to make a vid or song work. I'm really not very good at doing requests, the song and subject have to resonate with me or nothing will happen:) I have learned to accept that I am just a pretty slow vidder and that I have to take my time, even when I get frustrated about not being able to complete a vid as fast as most others.
Wishes and to do list for 2010:
- Want to finally make this SPN hunter post apocalypse epic that's been haunting me for so long now.
- Will need to watch more vids from other fandoms and at least make one vid for something other than Spn.
- Will either kick photo shops butt or finally take the time to understand it properly;) Hmm we'll see how that goes.
- Try a different genre that isn't epic or dramatic, maybe a funny vid? That for reasons unknown is a bit scary to me.
- Would like to try collaborating with another vidder on a project.
- Get my hands on Adobe Premiere to see what it can do that Vegas cannot plus vice-versa and because I'm curious as hell.
Ah I could go on and on but this sums it up pretty well for now:)
