Huh. At long last, the vidding bug is biting again. (Maybe a delayed reaction to watching Vividcon livestreams? More on that, with recs, at some point.)
I spent part of this afternoon and evening thinking about what sources might be fun to request and offer for Festivids, since nominations should be coming up in a few weeks. Wondering if this will be the year I'm finally brave enough to check off many boxes for sources I like but don't have specific ideas for.
If the mood continues, I may clear space to pull up my desk chair and poke at one stalled vid or another this weekend, since we've got the extra day off. There's the many-years-languished SGA constructed reality vid I want to amnesty-post as soon as I learn to do just one special effect. My coworker offered an alternative solution in Premiere today. Or there's the few-fandoms vid that would be good for Halloween, with footage already ripped.
There's also a vid I've been wanting to make since someone requested [source] several Festivids ago. It's intimidated me from the start, since it requires more skill than I've achieved so far, but I really like the idea and think it could be kind of amazing if it were to turn out close to how it looks in my head. Maybe that would be a good autumn project. Along with finding a vidding mentor or two for advice on the especially difficult parts.
Funny thing is, I didn't even like [source] that much. Or I guess I enjoyed not liking it. Apparently this is a thing that can happen when the right song finds the right source.
