Shameless self promotion
maygra wrote one of the most wonderful vid reviews for my Supernatural music video Run.
Basically, she lays it out rather well what worked and the one part that didn't work. :) Which is to be honest something I really love, constructive critiscm. This vid really was a challenge for me and it was a new medium to work with. (and honestly if I had waited another week before sharing, I would have realized I'm still cracking up every time I get to the part of the Light Up, Light up...(at first I thought it was just sleep deprivation) However, at the time I know I had a reason for using those shots and I liked it, and I didn't start cracking up until I saw it over and over again.
With editing vids on a linear timeline (like with UVS9) it's really hard to go back and change things up because the whole timeline shifts and the rest of your stuff goes out of place (one of the reasons i'm still on the look out for a new editing software package) okay moving right along past the excuses. I'll be the first to admit sometimes I'm really lazy.
I gotta be honest for the longest time I really thought I failed with this video because while other people have left feedback. I guess irrationally I expected more of a response from maygra which isn't really fair I know that. Reason and Emotion rarely go hand in hand. I felt like a little girl that drew this picture for her mom and it got stuck in a filing cabinet instead of plastered on the front of the fridge. (which is a weird feeling for me because I rarely write stories or vid for other people so I didn't realize I had any expectations until after the fact.) Before everyone runs over to her journal with pitchforks and tar and feathers, she did email me saying how much she liked the vid. (the unrealistic expecation was expecting some sort of post in her LJ)
I guess this goes down in the list of things that just don't make sense about human nature. (or maybe I really am the attention whore I jokingly claim to be) :)
Anyway, I had to explain all that to get down to why her post meant so much to me today. She really made my day/night/week. It's funny how happy one person can make you feel when they say something nice about something you've worked hard on.
Maygra is one of those people I really respect and want to make smile and do things to make her happier. So yes she has that power over me and honestly I don't mind at all.
