In My Dreams, Vidding is Easy--and So Is Writing
I wish I had the technical skill to put a video together as quickly as my mind would allow. I keep running into songs I'd love to see made into an SPN vid, I can come up with the feel and the ideas most of the time, but I just don't have the time it takes to take it from my head and put it in Vegas because my technical skill is limited. It takes me months to make a vid and that's time I don't have to spare right now, not when I'm trying so hard to keep writing (more on that farther down).
I wish I could convince a couple of people whose vids I love to make some vids out of these songs for me. It drives me nuts when I hear a song and I just KNOW it needs to be vidded. Just this weekend I found two such songs. I know at first listen, you might not see it--but I do. I see stories for both songs even though I can't say why these particular songs caught my interest. It's a mystery even to me.
The first song is by British India and it's called, "I Can Make You Love Me."
The second one is "Miracle" by The Temper Trap:
Anyway, I know I don't have time for vidding right now, but I needed to at least share these songs and talk about it. My fingers kept twitching with an itch everytime I hear them.
I know you probably wonder how I could be too busy concentrating on writing when you're not seeing any actual stories coming out, but that's complicated as usual. I've actually been playing around with WCA and another original story. My NaNo is on hold until I get some feedback on it, so I'm focusing on other things. With WCA, I'm just opening it up and trying to psych myself up to just stop worrying and jump in somewhere. It's hard because the only way I know to do that is to just let it take me where it goes, but I'm having trouble letting go of where it was supposed to orignally go. It's my own fault for taking so long with it and letting the original story get away from me. It's still heading in the same general direction, just maybe taking different side trips.
With the new original story, it started out as an unfinished SPN fanfiction that I never finished because of WCA. With a few changes, I've started molding it into something different. I originally converted it with the idea I might enter it into a contest--but I'm not sure I can make this story stay within a 4,000 word limit. Plus, I don't really have the entry fee right now. But, since I've already started converting it, I figure I should maybe stick with it and see what happens. Maybe I'll hang on to it and let it be this year's NaNo. I don't know, I just keep trying to keep myself working on something in some small way.
I really don't understand why I was given all this imagination if it's going to be so hard to give it an outlet. It's the same with both the writing and the vidding. I have the pictures and emotions in my head--but I can't get it out. It's...frustrating. It's so easy to dream, but so hard to breathe life into those dreams. *sigh*
