Canon Ships vidshow playlist
The second vidshow I was involved with was also the last panel of VidUKon2013, the Canon Ships show. I was lucky enough to be able to work with Blacksquirrel on this show, and she's a genuine delight to work with. (She actually did most of the hard work, but let me grab a share of the credit!)
Naturally, we began in a highly organised fashion - we emailed something like half a gig of vids we liked to each other, new and old, famous and obscure, and then debated what we actually meant by "shipper", and how we wanted to bound the show.
With that done, we then horse traded over the vids we liked to come up with about 90-100 minutes worth of vids for the 45 minute show. That's when things got tough...
I feel very lucky to have been able to work on this show; it was because of a ship that I set out to learn to vid, and some lovely shippers helped ease me into fandom, where I made a great many friends and met a lot of genuinely nice, passionate people. Naturally, I fought to make sure that my favourite vid for that particular fandom ship made it into this show.
Sadly, Blacksquirrel had to head home before the show aired - so if you like it, please do let her know. If you didn't like it, feel free to shout at me ;)
