God, I can't even pick a favorite from all of that. Can I have three? I think they'd be Mainstream, Birth of a Geisha, and Combat Honey. Oh, and Still Breathing.
... Can I have four?
Also, can I have some of your talent? I mean seriously - you can't need all of that.
Oh, I definitely need it all, what there is of it. While we're doing the mutual admiration thing can I just say how awesome your vids have been this year. I've absolutely loved them all. When I watched your Lady Jane vid on a big screen it went from "oh pretty" to "OMG bloody brilliant!"
"Working Class Hero" is probably my favourite vid, by anyone, this year. So yeah, my talent, pfft.
Yeah, it was a bit of a shock. I hadn't really expected to be asked to vid Spike once and certainly not twice. "Respectable" and "Still Breathing" are very different though so I avoided covering the same ground.
Ooh I love that people are doing these. It leaves a nice little list of links to the December vids I missed.
FWIW, if you're struggling with action editing, it's definitely not apparent from the vids themselves. But I understand how we can often be our own worst critic when it comes to stuff like that.
Mainstream and Birth of Geisha are my two favorites from you this year, although I will have to go give the Xena vid a watch. :)
It's definitely handy that people are doing these, I had no idea I'd missed so many vids!
You're one of the people who edit action the way I wish I could; fast and spinning, yet flowing seamlessly. It's the sort of thing I wish I was more confident with, my stuff always feels a bit flat in comparison. Like you say though we tend to be hardest on ourselves. I think when I watch my own vids it's like watching a magic show when you've been told how all the tricks are done, you can appreciate the effort but the sense of wonder is gone.
Impressive list there, Charmax! But thats never a surprise :) If I had to say a favourite it would definately be Dont Stop Me Now. So. Much. Fun. Maybe one day I'll get around to making that companion piece...I haven't forgotten!
And maybe one day I'll get around to posting one of these things up. I had my biggest year in 2007 (by my standards) & it still pales into comparison to the amounts people are churning out! Too many other interests methinks...

Somehow, it didn't register with me that you made two Spike vids for Sweet Charity. I have to figure out which one I've not seen.

Oh yes, the mythical companion piece to Don't Stop Me Now, I can't wait. :D
You had amazing vids this year, definitely a case of quality over quantity.
