Ten years ago, when I vidded Faith to two different Tegan & Sara songs, I got so many comments (first online and then at VividCon) about how weird and unusual the songs were. And now a song from their latest album has been covered on Glee. It's certainly true that Heartthrob is their most pop-polished album, but still. Tegan & Sara plus Glee: Mix ( Read more... )

I revised both of these vids a few years ago, so I haven't made any additional changes - just finally got around to exporting high-quality versions. Both are available at the paper cup vids page, which unfortunately is having some aesthetic difficulties (note to self: don't fiddle with CSS code while trying to pay attention to renenet's disquisitions on ( Read more... )

I'm in the big city having a fannish weekend, which means that I'm thinking about vidding. So I'm stealing the Video Death Match! poll from sisabet, sdwolfpup, and f1renze... and adding one of my own.

Poll Video Death Match!

Poll What should h.l vid next?

A couple of months ago, in the comments on one of the vid commentary tracks I did, redredshoes suggested that I put up vid storyboards as well.

So I've linked to a few behind the cut tags, and provided a tiny bit of commentary as well.

redredshoes and pipsqueaky both asked for commentary on "Come On"; pips wanted to hear specifically about the process of coming up with the narrative structure. Also, sisabet asked about motion.

Warning: this got long.

As always, vids are at paper cup.

"Atropine" and "Superstar" got remastered (and slightly revised) for VividCon; the revisions to "Come On" were slightly more substantial.

And lo, after three months of source-collection nightmares, Premiere crashes, and other vidding irritations too tedious to mention, my Faith/Buffy vid is finally up (at heresluck.net, as usual).

Many thanks to tamarabass for insightful beta comments (I think I fixed the timing glitches!), and most especially, as always, to renenet, who does her level best to keep ( Read more... )

renenet was here this weekend, which was delightful. Also somewhat frustrating, because we're envious of kita and jess and their "ficbitch!" designation, and want an equivalent of our own. "Vidbitch" just doesn't have the same ring to it, plus it would be stealing. Ever since our last visit (back in September) we've been trying assorted terms ending in "- ( Read more... )
