I liked Pass this On, madly, but yeah, I don't think fandom wanted to go there. Seeker fandom is interestingly, one of the fandoms I've been in where the squee outweights any desire for meta, cracky or otherwise.

Totally do a movie vid. I love doing movie vids, mostly because I only have two hours of footage to comb through, as opposed to 20 + for most TV series with even one season. It helps me focus things a lot.

Also: Marble House is friggin' awesome. I only partially understand it, but I can nonetheless appreciate the craftsmanship of the editing alone and the ambition which underlies the Big Picture Message of the vid. :)

Woot! Thanks, man. :) Yeah it's a biggie. Gonna be tough to try and surpass that for VVC this year. :/

Don't dwell on it. Otherwise you won't ever get anywhere.

I have ditched doing the Big Important vid for premieres this year in favor of doing a light(ish) vid for a small fandom and saying: SEE, YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO WATCH THIS MOVIE AND READ ALL THE BOOOOOKS. I tried to do a big idea vid for premieres last year and it just gave me headaches and caused unnecessary stress.

Yus, yus. :P But the most important thing about VVC is to have a vid, so you're right, if it helps to do something smaller than just do it. *nods*

Yeah Seeker fandom is the strangest thing! I've never encountered such bizarre behavior. There's no slash, hardly have any fic, and no one seems interested in meta. It's truly mind-boggling!

I love doing movie vids, mostly because I only have two hours of footage to comb through, as opposed to 20 + for most TV series with even one season.
Yes, this is very appealing! I'm gonna definitely try to get at least one done this year. *nods*

Seeker fandom is very strange indeed. I love the squee muchly, but aside from that it's increasingly not one of my primary fandoms, if only because it is so very strange.

Word. Tho I want it to be normal and will stick by it doing sad little attempts at trying to get it to go in the right direction.
