very cool! this is such a great project. what made you settle on "atom smasher" as concept for this week?

I suppose *I* should answer that! you were there for the initial dithering. partly it was because I couldn't find audio about delinquent teenagers that would work for a vid. but mostly it was because this excerpt is just SO bizarre and evocative, I couldn't resist it. and it's violence (Becka said, "the connection between physical and mental and social damage") that seems to be the most cohesive motif of the episode; we really liked the idea of paralleling that with molecular violence.

Thank you so much for the feedback! Glad you're enjoying it! And yes, see projectjulie's answer re: the choice of material. She usually picks the audio track. She'll often offer me a choice, but I usually like them both and am absolutely no help whatsoever in coming to a decision! ;)

Hi! Friending you because I feel like I practically know you after all the time I've spent discussing the vids with Julie (they are amazing. The last two are my favourites, Starbuck Columbus and Six&Tory Cyclatron). Also your episode reviews are marvellous. :)

Omg yay I've heard about you from Julie!

Your idea to switch the Cally sections in the mapping vid was awesome - simple but really cleaned it up. I'm pretty sure there were a couple of other ideas you tossed my way via Juli that I liked too, though I can't remember which ones, sorry!

I'm so glad you're enjoying the vids! I think this most recent one is my favourite but I love the Mapping one too. I suppose it's a good sign that I think they're getting better?

Anyway, I think I shall friend you back, if you don't mind. :)

And also *blush* glad you enjoy the ep reactions. It really is just me rambling about nonsense half the time... ;)

Yay, I'm so glad the suggestions worked for you!
