Making 'Paranoid Android'
Paranoid Android feels like a milestone in my history as a vidder. I learnt so much in making it, both about vidding and about the show (Smallville) and the character (Lex). Originally I was going to post notes about the vid with the vid, but I decided against this for two reasons

The vid felt exhausting to watch at times because there was just so much going on in it,
*nods* I realised that--it was pretty much inevitable. I think even tonally it's an exhausting piece of music with its several 'acts'. That fits Lex's journey though.
I admit to being slightly scared by the six-minute length, but I can't imagine it as shorter now.
Hee! That's very cool. And yes, obviously another of my worries was 'who the hell is going to watch a SIX MINUTE vid?!' :) Thanks for taking the risk!
I remember being jarred out during an episode where Luthor-blues showed up in wrong context without a reason
*nods* Right! Everything has such specific meaning, when it's 'off' fans really notice, even if they only notice on the 'woah, this feels weird' way.
it makes sense that visuals connected with Lex would play a huge part in a vid about him
Yeah, I definitely had to work with them, rather than against them, if that makes sense. I've seen a few SV vids that have really altered the colouring or style a lot and I always find it hard to get into them because so much of the show's story is told visually.
