Vidukon - Con Report

[buffyann]

So, Vidukon ! YAY ! Turns out europeans count ! :D
Having this con was obviously important to me, and even if it was small, I really am happy we had it, for all the joy I and everyone there shared. Fandom is huge, but you might feel sometimes alienated as a european. I know I do sometimes. I was happy to see just how fandom and vidding have no

Thank you so much for writing this up. It sounds like such a great weekend! I really wish I could've been there.

[buffyann]

It was definitely awesome and maybe you'll come another year? :)

[laurashapiro]

Thanks for the report! I really wish I could have been there! I also really hope there is a next year and a year after that!

[buffyann]

I hope so too and I hope you'll come one day :D

I am really glad to hear that you hadn't seen all of the vids in the Fandom Rocks show before. At first, I was afraid that I was going to end up with all of the obvious vids that everyone already new by heart.

[buffyann]

I'm rather new to fandom to lots I hadn't seen, but I don't think those were obvious choices. It was definitely a great show ! Thank you for making it !:)

Thank you so much for writing all this up, sounds like it was completely wonderful!! It's fabulous to hear about vidders meeting vidders....what an amazing time!!! Sorry the the "Vids we loved' show was depressing. (I guess 'My Skin' is a bit of a depressing vid too :( )

[buffyann]

"My skin" is awesome, I know you'll have some comments soon :)

we definitely had a great time. thanks !

[raspberry_splat]

Aww, you're the best. I'm still so honored you wanted to show it! Thank YOU. :)

OMG I AM SO JEALOUS. That sounds AWESOME! :D Loved your report, wish I could have been there. And omg, you liked my premiere?! *dies of happy*

Ian gave a very insteresting history on the differences between AMVs and Live Action Vids.
Ohhh, that sounds fascinating. I really want to know more about that.

kinds of humour, like incongruity, superiority etc. There's even a formula for humour that is basically :
incongruity = laughter. add sex for more effect
Ha! I could SO use a panel on humour. Without a doubt I've found it the hardest emotional tone to control/produce in vidding so far. But talitha78 is my humour-vid idol so I'm sure her talk was awesome. *wrestles jealousy down again*

how to make a vid work in terms of its inner rythmn.
Ohh, I would have loved that panel too!

couldn't believe how everyone seemed to be able to discuss how to make a vid from hearing the song once and just analysing lyrics.
Sounds HARD!

the idea of doing next year's con in the French Riviera popped up, and it would be called FRAKON (FRAnceKON, gettit ?), to

[buffyann]

I really want to know more about that.
absolutedestiny is the person to ask :) he comes from AMVs so he knows a lot.

by then I'd have been vidding for 3 years--is that too few to go to a con? I don't know! *existential vidder angst*
oh really, there is no need for that. There's no such thing as "too new to attend". Lots of people who attend the cons aren't even vidders, just vid-lovers. and even if you're a vidder, it's great to meet everyone, new and older vidder, it doesn't matter. No angst is needed, everyone will welcome you with open arms. I'm a new vidder myself so i know what i'm sayin' ;)
I think if the con happens again, we'll give everyone more notice since we'll know a bit more what we're doing, so hopefully, you could come :D

Thanks for the tip! We don't know each other though (I just admire his vids from afar. ;))

Thanks for the encouraging news re. the con thing. It sounds like one of those things that seems more intimidating in theory than it really is in practice.
