First: vid_commentary is running another commentary challenge, and the deadline for sign-ups has been extended until Sept. 17. I want to do a viewer commentary, but I'm still trying to decide what vid to comment on. I kind of want to do " Burning Bridges," the amazing FNL vid that sisabet made for me for this year's VVC auction, except I'm not sure I'm capable of ( Read more... )

1) I have been invited to participate in the vid_commentary interview series, along with cherryice, fan_eunice, sdwolfpup, and wistful_fever (with more vidders to come in the second half of the series later this year). I am pleased to be in such fantastic company, and also, as I told intrepid organizer deathisyourart, deeply flattered (and tremendously amused) that anyone thinks there's anything left to ask me, ( Read more... )

Okay, so we did these an embarrassingly long time ago and then I just... kind of forgot to mention them, because my brain is more of a steel sieve than a steel trap these days. But: vid commentaries!

First sisabet recorded a commentary on "Out Here" - which is now one of my favorite things in the history of ever, and I freely admit that I have watched it ( Read more... )

So! Hi. I have been more or less out of commission, fannishly speaking, for about six months now, with the exception of VividCon, which I LOVED; I was (and am) so grateful to have had that break from the vidless desert that my life has been for much too long ( Read more... )

ghost_lingering had a couple of general questions about my vidding process, including the arcane and mysterious "clip databases" to which I occasionally refer.

It's been about a year and a half since the vid commentary meme went around my little corner of LJ, and now that I'm back in a vidding frame of mind (and especially given that I've finally gotten my vids distributed in DVD format), this seems like a good moment for me to give it another go. So ( Read more... )

I've moved on to a new vid project (or rather three new vid projects), but I'm still sort of thinking about In the Mirror, and specifically about the vid as a companion piece to Out Here. So this post is my tying-up of assorted mental loose ends.

I think it was sisabet who first articulated to me the idea that In the Mirror is the flipside of Out Here; ( Read more... )

Ever since I showed them " Out Here," renenet and sisabet have been asking about the process of making it, since (as readers of sisabet's LJ may have gathered) the whole thing was kept secret at the time.

What follows is a collection of excerpts from relevant primary texts (slightly edited in some cases) from various points in the process: e-mail exchanges with katallison, chats ( Read more... )
