Songvid songvid.
Well, the songvid is mostly sort of finished. I'm reasonably happy with it, even though the timing of the clips and the POV is messed up in several places, because (a) there weren't that many clips to use and (b) most of the time, I couldn't see what I was doing -- the Preview window didn't really work, previewing most of the individual clips didn't really work, and the setting in/out points thing was kind of imprecise. Also, like I said, I have a bad sense of tempo anyway.
But still, for my first effort at vidding (or video editing at all, really) I'm happy with how it turned out.
My mom watched it over my shoulder. The first comment she made on it, halfway though, was, "Did you know that he sticks out his tongue just when the song mentions blowjobs? Isn't that a funny coincidence?"
My reply was, "Yes, that was sort of the point. That was, in fact, the original reason I wanted to make this, so that I could see that part."
She didn't say anything after that.
I'm imagining how much better I could be if I had a video editing setup that actually let me see what I was doing without crashing. If I get a new computer, I am definitely going to get one with a good processor and humongous amounts of RAM, and possibly a whole extra hard drive for capturing video if I want to do this again. Which I think I do. This was kind of fun.
Also, syxer7, who is a wonderful wonderful person who talked me through the process when I didn't understand what all these crazy buttons and switches did, is also hosting the file. Flower.zip should be about 7 megs, zipped RealPlayer file.
Go! Download! Enjoy! Tell me I'm wonderful! Tell me I suck! I've never done this before!
