Took me a while to get around to articulating decent feedback for this vid, so the rec is a bit belated. Degausser by saltwatergirl, Mysterious Skin ( Read more... )

GONNA MAKE AN ENTIRE VID OF ONLY FACES. MEDIUMS AND CLOSEUPS ONLY!

Actually that would be a real interesting and experimental VVC vidshow. Commission all the good vidders to pick a rule you're not supposed to break and make a vid around breaking it.

I keep toying with ideas to rally a bunch of vidders around a challenge, like the Five Obstructions, or even Chacun son Cinéma, which would be AMAZING if we could round up a bunch of vidders like that, although the 3-minute rule would probably have to be changed since that's like a full-length vid.

A whole vidshow with nothing but faces, though. !!!!!! Eye fatigue much?

Yeah, man. There's nothing that makes me happier than when vids are seen for the little works of cinema that they are. I would definitely rally for such a challenge! (And for the record, it would be a vidshow of a bunch of different types of rule-breaking vids, not an entire vidshow of just faces! That would be eyeball suicide!)

How's about this: a 30-second vidlet that encapsulates what vidding means to you. Think it'll work?

Man, the scope of that is infinite! Kinda sounds like a VVC Challenge theme, a very philosophical one. I guess I was thinking something smaller? Like vidders playing/subverting the so-called "rules of vidding." (Though that doesn't really sound all that small.)

We actually started a thread on Vid Pub for exactly that, but it quickly descended from asking for vid recs to just talking about "the rules". :D

Ah, that was an interesting read! So I guess for me a real interesting challenge would be to gather like a bunch of vidders, come up with a list of these "rules" and assign a vidder to a rule then see what they do with it.
