Topic 1: Favorite vid you've ever made
kassrachel asked: What's your favorite vid you've ever made, and why?
My favorite, I think, is Soccer Practice (SGA, John/Ronon). Despite the rough bits like breaking out of the cell and Rodney on the floor, which mostly occurred because I was too lazy to clip more, it still makes me laugh.
(However, my favorite funny moment from a vid would have to be the opening sequence of A Girl Like You. John's face, and the timing of Larrin's punch.)
Runners-up for funny vids would be They Want More (Jurassic Park trilogy) because match made in heaven and the Humping Robot vid (Robot Chicken) because humping robot, and for sentimental vids would be Home (Big Eden) and Recalled to Life (The Secret Garden), both of which I'll play when I want some heartstrings tugged.
My best-edited vid I think is Long Night's Journey Into Day (28 Days Later). There is too much (albeit unavoidable) talkyface in the beginning, but I'm really proud of the variation in clip length throughout the vid, the speed of the zombie attack sequences, the relaxation into the road trip, the anticipation as the blood drop falls, the intentional slight delay of visuals to the piano chords when Jim wakes up and hasn't quite settled back into normal life. Even the jarring few clips when they arrive at the military compound, which I was never able to figure out how to fix, don't negate the rest.
And, I mean, of course I'm really proud of Starships! and what has happened with it. It's possible I would have called it my favorite if it were less popular, because it was a from-the-heart project and I did really love it when I finished making it; it's just hard to tell now because it's so entwined with people's reactions to it.
