Click to viewNotes: I am kinda on extreme sides of hate/love for this vid. I started it early January and I didn't really expect much to come from it but I'd work on it, leave it out of frustration, come back a month later, lather rinse repeat etc. It was the first time I had to whole-y rework an end section of my vid (this may be the sign of a maturing vidder but dude it *sucks*) and as I was uploading it to youtube I thought of a way that the front section could have been better. I have a lot of criticism towards this vid but at the same time I couldn't hold onto it any longer, I think I hit the wall of what I can do with it at this point and having it languishing on my hard drive isn't doing me any good.
On the other hand I love this vid and the reactions I get to it. I've shown it to three people so far (platinumvampyr cards_slash temporalranger my lovely and dear betas) and gotten three entirely different emotional reactions out of them. It's certainly got the emotional resonance I was searching for because I love this OT3 and I want everyone else to love them as well. I also expanded a *lot* during this vid, I fiddled with a lot of color work (which I complained and moaned about fully, I absolutely hate color work, it's so boring!) and went back and refined a lot of my slow editing skills.
So it's not perfect and may one day be remastered but it's also a satisfying vid in all that I worked through and put out to it.
(One day I will use this section to talk about the vid itself instead of my editing process but it is not this day.)
DL: Here. Please just ask if you'd like it uploaded to a different service.
