It's a Very Vidding Christmas
Finally. Finally, I have the free time that I've been craving so I can vid. And vid. And vid.
So far I've vidded about 15 hours, looked at vidding guides, watched videos and read some video meta. Yum. I'm working on some secret santa videos and remaking a video that I lost which is nice since I know most of the clips I want to use. Also thanks to absolut3destiny's A&E's Technical Guide to All Things Audio and Video I was able to fix some things with my video/audio setup that has helped make a vidding a much more enjoyable process (as well as some AviSynth love!). Now I can't wait to vid allll break. I'm going away, Monday to Thursday to a place w/o computer access...but that's not stopping me because I'm bringing my computer. Yep, don't have my laptop yet so I have to resort to extremes. But it's totally worth it and there's nothing much to do where I'm going. No internet access but that's what libraries are for.
I'm also planning on vidding a lot in the next two months. I'm working on a Firefly, Veronica Mars and Queer as Folk videos this week but I have plans for two more Firefly vids (Mal), a Highlander video (Duncan/Methos), a Grey's Anatomy Cristina/Burke (B pov) video and a Nip/Tuck video (Christian/Julia). I'd like to learn more about how to use Adobe Premiere to the best effect as well as try the intimidating Adobe Aftereffects.
I want to put in a vid rec here. Just saw an video for Veronica Mars, "Feeling Good" by astartexx. It's a Veronica/Logan video, leaning more toward Logan. Perfect song choice, snazzy editing, cool parellels and great editing all in one. You can download it at this page: Master List of Music Videos .Plus, it's one of my favorite songs. I just loove Michael Buble's version of it: it's basically music sex and oh so pretty.
Anyways, I'm going to get a paid LJ user account for Christmas. I like the new 6 icon upgrade but I really need 100 as well as all the other benefits (mood theme!). My other major present is a new website so I can host all my vids :D Going to get that in a week. I'm going to use Dreamhost since I've heard good reviews of them. I'm probably going to use it for hosting all my videos, including my old Lex/Lana ones and my ones to come. Going to have some vid recs there, a list of my favorite shows/characters/ships and shows I want to watch, links of vidding resources/vidder webpages and some screencaps. Also might offer to host some videos for people who don't have a site depending on how much room I have. I can't wait! It's been something I've been wanting for a long time.
Oh and how much do I love secret santa communities? I just love whoever my Veronica Mars SS is because I am loooving my two new icons. How cute is Veronica/Norris? *adores* And I'm happy my own SS liked my gift :) I hope my real vids for them go over well.
Time to get back to vidding :)
ETA: Change of plans. Not going away. Yay :)
