With the end of VVC, it's pretty likely my con-going and vidding days have come to an end. This vid showed in the From There To Here show on Sunday, paired with the very first vid I sent to the con, back in 2003. (That vid was a Stargate SG-1 Skaara character vid, Rite of Passage; I learned vidding tech just so I could make that vid ( Read more... )

I modded the Aesthetics panel at this last VividCon, and so I have a selection of things for you about it. Below the cut are my panel notes, with embedded links to the vids I discussed (and some I didn't, but had planned to; there wasn't enough time). Below the second cut is my transcription of the notes I took on flip chart during the actual panel ( Read more... )

Back from Vividcon. So much laundry, so much work, so little time. Also, I watched some vids, so here are some recs. These aren't the 'best' vids of the con, or even all the ones I liked. Just some I enjoyed a lot. If there's no active link, the vidder hasn't put the vid up yet or I can't figure out where it is. Happy hunting.

Just making sure to spread the word; VividCon will end with the 2018 con. It is the end of an era in fandom, for sure.

There were plenty of vids I liked this year, but I didn't really emotionally connect with many of them. Lots of fandoms and sources I wasn't familiar with at all, lots of shows I don't watch, lots of songs that didn't work for me (and a song has to work for me personally to get into a vid), lots of vids that were technically gorgeous but didn't ( Read more... )

I am tired from my travels, and my sparkles are fading a bit. Now I must settle in and do some work and also answer comments/dl vids, BUT! -- first, I must point out the following vids to you, because they are incredible. (My bias has nothing to do with it.) I will have more vid recs later, and I also have a Merlin story rec...SO MUCH TO REC SO ( Read more... )

Greetings LJ. Or at least, those of you who are still here in the ghost town. I reached 40K on my paperlegends story last night and then I stopped and stared at it in despair, because it's still not done and it's a mess and there's not much time. WHY DID I PACK SO MUCH PLOT INTO THIS STORY. *weeps*

In much better news, obsessive24 and jetpackmonkey have finished up their respective ( Read more... )

Club Vivid was as excellently sparkly, sweaty and booze-fueled as usual. There was one premiering vid which knocked my socks off while I was still sober enough to remember the names of things.
