Interview Series
This is a reminder that we will be accepting questions for astartexx, giandujakiss, greensilver, kuwdora and superKC until midnight tonight (pacific standard time). Come on people, you know that you want to pick their brains about their work, so get those questions in before it is too late!
If you are having trouble figuring out what to ask, then how about submitting a question that you always wished someone would ask you about your work? Or a question on a topic that you would love to read a discussion about?
Check out our last post for links to their vids. Get inspired, and then leave questions in the comments.
Commentary Challenge
The deadline for signing up for the Commentary challenge is going to be extended by a week, with the new deadline being the 17th. Currently, it looks like this might be our last commentary challenge. Over the past two weeks 12 people have been added to our list of vidders volunteering their work for commentary (Thank you!); however, over that same period only 3 people have volunteered to actually produce commentary -- vidder or viewer(Double Thank You!!). The challenges are simply not sustainable with this level of involvement.
If you are someone who would love to see the challenges continue, then please consider doing one, or both, of the following:
1) PIMP THE CHALLENGE. If you are a vidder, then chances are that many of the fans of your work can be found on your friends list, and they will be the ones to write or record commentary for your vids. If you want it, then you have to let them know that you want it!
If you are a viewer only, then your friends might share your interest in vids and decide to write or record commentary, so they need to know about the challenge a well. Please help us out and spread the word.
2) STRONGLY CONSIDER WRITING OR RECORDING COMMENTARY.
- a) VIDDERS: Look at your baby vids. Aren't they precious? Don't you want the world to know eveything about them, how special they are, and how they came into being? This is your chance to hand out wallet sized screencaps of them to everyone in this community; and tell us all about the first time they were just an idea in your head, a draft on the timeline and whether or not they became everything they wanted to be when they grew up. What are you waiting for?
- b) VIEWERS (of all kinds, because you don't stop being a viewer just because you make vids too): You know that totally cute vid that you've been crushing on for the past few weeks? The one that you think about all the time and can't help but stare at whenever you get a spare moment? That vid is sexy, and smart, and has pretty eyes... I mean, depth. YES, DEPTH! So why don't you stop being so secretive about your feelings and tell us all about THAT VID? We are giving you the chance to show us pictures, and video, and to talk about THAT VID obsessively and at length. Why is THAT VID so special to you?
We are in fandom, which means that we can dissect anything that contains audio and video, so why not volunteer to do it here and give everyone the chance to find out how YOU SEE IT?
