Ask the Vidder: gigglemonster
Hello everyone! I am gigglemonster (usually Dayln03 on my vids) and the lovely oxoniensis has asked me to be the vidder of the month - for which I am incredibly flattered and excited.
I started "vidding" (I use the term lightly because I'm not sure what I was doing back then could really be called vidding ;) back in 2006. My first fandom was LOST, but once I started watching Supernatural I was hooked for quite a while. In total I've made 17 Supernatural vids. Wow!
Right from the beginning I was interested in constructed reality vids. I'd say over half of my vids are either Wincest and/or other AU pairing related vids. I've always been fascinated by the idea of taking the clips and the characters and the stories we're given and either expanding on them or just completely reconstructing them into something totally new. I'm always really excited to try new effects and different ways of manipulating clips. I'd say that's definitely where my niche, in this fandom especially, has been since I started vidding.
For the most part I vid exclusively with Sony Vegas Pro 8. Lately I've been trying to do a lot more with Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects. AE is a really spectacular program for the afoermentioned manipping obsession :) It's also a really good program to try out cool new coloring and effects.
To find most of my older SPN vids I direct you to Everydamnthing where they're archived
→ WTF-Ever.Net
For my more recent SPN vids (and more recent vids in general) I refer you to my vidding/graphics community where you can find streaming/DL links for everything
→ Lensflair Inc
I've also done a few vidding related tutorials that some of you may be interested in
→ Isolating dialogue from audio clips (to use for voice-overs)
→ Making manips
→ Ripping and converting DVDs for use in vidding
I don't really vid in the SPN fandom anymore. The past year or so I've been getting into so many new shows and have really been trying to take a swing at as many fandoms as possible. However, I still adore the show and the immensely creative fandom. And I love to talk about vidding in general! So fire away with any and all questions/comments/whatevers.
PS! While I'm mainly here for vidding, graphics discussions are cool too! I'm not a painter/drawer/graphic artist, but Photoshop is my backup boyfriend when Vegas is outta town ;)
