Just a big ol' bunch of updatey stuff...
Aw, aren't Nine and Rose completely adorable in that icon? ♥♥♥!!! Now, now, chicafrom3, I can already tell that Ten and Martha are both made of awesome; I just haven't gotten there yet! So I'm still in total Season 1-infatuation, what can I say? ;)
First things first! I was in the process of setting up my evil!Sam vid and I realized... I really don't have anything new to say with this vid. Yes, I like an evil!Sam vid just as much as the next fangirl ;) but I've seen several really amazing evil!Sam vids recently and, well... I just don't see the point of making mine anymore. It's ground that's been well-covered by much better vidders than me and honestly? I don't see any benefit to making it; I don't have any real heart to make it any longer and I don't want to make a vid without any sort of passion to it. And for what? What would I be trying to prove? :S
So, I'm clearing that one out of my vidding queue. Hey, if something ever sets a fire under my muse's feet for it again, then that's all well and good. But as it is right now, I'd rather not pressure myself for nothing.
My Skate request vid is stalled. I'm thisclose to backing out of it but I've decided to take a break from it for a bit and come back before the end of this month and see if I can't finish it off (it's at about the halfway point and is fairly well plotted out from here so it's just a matter of choosing the last of the clips and setting the last of the animations). If I can't do it, then I'll throw in the towel.
It's strange though, normally I'd be feeling very pressured and upset by the fact I'm giving up on two vids that I've had on the table for quite a while. Instead, though, I feel like a weight has kinda come off of me. So I think that means I've made the right decisions! :D
I'm finding myself in slightly uncharted vidding territory right now; I don't like to not have a vid in some sort of progress, even if it's just the pre-planning stages. So I've been contemplating what move to make next. I haven't quite gotten a handle on what I want to say about Locke but I know I want to say something! ;) I've had some really great song suggestions from my wonderful friends, so I'm just sort of letting the vid percolate for now until it's ready to reveal itself to me properly! ;)
This past week, I came across a song that just kept bringing me back to it. I couldn't figure out why at first because it wasn't one that I wanted to use for any of my previous vidding fandoms. But I definitely could SEE a vid to it but it was such a simple vid, no Cirque du Soleil gimmicks, nothing that's trying to push the boundaries of vidding as we've known it, ;) just a vid made simply because I wanted to make it. I'll give you three guesses as to what it's about. *looks at icon* ;)
I've dismissed the idea of this Nine/Rose vid though, because, as I said, it wasn't for anything. It's not going to dazzle. It's not meant to impress. It's just...me wanting to make something out of this new fandom enthusiasm! It's just me wanting to tell this story that I see to this particular song. So I kept dismissing the idea over and over because, well, I can't make a vid just because I WANT to, now can I?
Yes, I really did keep thinking that until it finally dawned on me: Well, why NOT? All of my other "real" ideas that were "meant for something" have stalled out, so why can't I spend a few days just putting something together sheerly out of love? Why can't I make something just because I want to? It doesn't have to push the boundaries, it doesn't have to be something that I've never done before and use difficult techniques and gimmicks. It can just be a simple vid to show my love for a song and a ship.
So that's what I'm doing right now. (Well, that's what I'll be doing as soon as WMM can render the footage I need into .WMV so that Vegas won't have one of its truly spectacular mental .AVI spasms, lol! ;) ) I'll post it here when it's done, not because I really think that too many of you even would want to see it, but just because it'll be something that I made and if you want to see it, you'll be welcome to. But I know that I'm out of many of your fandoms/ship preferences/etc. on this one, so I won't be offended (much, lol ;) ) if you pass on it. ;) I don't really know HOW long it's been since I made a vid that didn't have some sort of pressure on it to push the boundaries, impress, and dazzle on it. I'd like to make a vid again that was just sheer love and that's it. The next vid can have all the ZOMGPRESSURE! on it again. Just not this one. This one's just for me. ;)
Now, not EVERYBODY is feeling understanding about the Sam vid being shelved, though...
Sam: "Yeah, she'll make not one but TWO hawt!Dean vids and not even ONE for me? Me and my friend here have something to say about that..."
John: "Sam, no! Just because you're angry, that's no cause to use violence! She never made a vid for me, either, despite the fact that she promised me one months and months ago!"
Dean: (thinking) "Yep, two -- count 'em TWO -- hawt!Dean vids... *snort*"
hawt!Dean!
hawter!Dean!
spontaneous!combustingly!hawt!Dean! ;)
Sam: "Dude, that was 3. He only had 2 vids, not 3!"
Narrator: "Who's doing this spam, Sam? Me or you?"
Sam: "I'm just saying..."
Narrator: "Sammy, I'm the one in charge here, you got it? I know what I'm doing and I don't need you to -- *realizes she's been using thumbnail pics instead of the full-sized ones she meant to* -- Oh DRAT! Boys, a little distraction, if you please...?"
[/end distraction] ;)
John: "Okay, now back to the story!"
Dean: "Dad, nobody cares about the story now."
John: "Oh. How about a cliffhanger, then?"
Sam: "That could work."
Dean: "Yeah, we could try to sell that..."
And so, tune in same Bat time, same Bat channel, dear flisters, and find out if evil!Sam ever tries to get revenge on this humble viddergirl for not making good on her promise to vid for him! Feel the excitement as Aislynn makes a vid nobody else will care about! Feel the giant question marks forming over everybody's heads as they wonder, "Is it past Aislynn's bedtime or WHAT? 'Cause girlfriend sounds like she needs some sleep!" ;) *theme song plays, credits roll*
And on THAT note! This viddergirl is now out (of her mind, true, but I'm also out of here for the night ;) ). Apologies for not taking the time to reupload those pics and straighten out the thumbnail thing but it really is way past my bedtime and I'm getting cross-eyed here, so have got to skeedaddle. ;) Thanks for listening to me ramble! Nighty-night! *huge hugs* ♥♥♥!!!
