My favorite video this year (of my own):
Radioactive. This was the first vid in a couple years that I didn't make for an exchange or a con, and I had the most fun making this one.
My least favorite video this year:
99 Problems, I guess? I made it just for the sake of making a vid, and I never really had a fannish attachment to the source.
Most successful video:
Losing My Religion. It helped to have a popular source set to familiar lyrics.
Video most underappreciated by the universe, in my opinion:
Smash Up. Though at 7 minutes, the length alone would be enough to scare people away.
Most fun video:
Work Bitch. So many things made this vid the most fun, from the ridiculous song to the gorgeous source. I had a lot of fun with effects in this one too.
Video with single sexiest moment:
Hmm, I'm particularly fond of how the ballet within the movie lined up with the instrumental bridge in Toxic. How Moira Shearer's character loses herself in the dance paired with the wild beats of the music is something I find pretty sexy.
Biggest vid fail:
I ran out of steam making Smash Up and I think it shows. Plus I had some sourcing issues that I didn't feel like figuring out how to fix before posting the vid.
Hardest video to make:
Smash Up was technically the most difficult (especially the meta section, OMG). Losing My Religion was the most emotionally taxing.
Most unintentionally telling video:
Who knew that I shipped Steve/Sam? I didn't until I made A Thousand Miles.
The things I've learned this year:
I learned how to manipulate text a bit more with the titler in Sony Vegas. And I learned that some of my more successful vids are the ones I just let happen instead of trying to force them into being.
For 2015:
Smash Up was that "sorta ambitious vid bunny" I pointed out in last year's meme. I missed the target of VividCon Premieres by a few months, but I'm actually glad that didn't end up premiering at a con. Too much pressure. For 2015, I gotta finish my Festivid first. After that, I don't have any vid plans, so we'll see how the year pans out.
