By way of sequel to my last post: I called renenet tonight to ramble about the new vid idea, as I am wont to do.
here's luck: Do you have [the song in question]?
renenet: No.
here's luck: Oh! Let me send it to you! You have to hear it to understand.
renenet: Okay.
[here's luck sends file]
renenet: Got it. I'm going to put the phone down while I listen ( Read more... )

Okay. So. When the new Star Trek movie came out I went to see it and thought it was a terrific summer movie (except for some gender issues that made me cranky), and didn't think much more about it than that. Then when renenet was here last week we watched a bunch of Star Trek: TOS, which was mildly amusing; it doesn't hit any of my personal buttons, but ( Read more... )

I finished another vid last night. Well, a vidlet, really; the song's only about a minute long. But still!

I don't even know, people. Apparently it's springtime in my brain, two feet of snow outside notwithstanding.

I started this one the day after I finished the last one. I spent one evening putting down clips in a crucial 12-second section in ( Read more... )

I seem to have made a vid this week ( Read more... )

Have you ever been walking along, listening to your preferred music device on shuffle, and been suddenly blown away by how perfect a particular song is for a show that you haven't even thought about in months and haven't rewatched in years because you ended up feeling kind of "meh" about it but for which in any case you already have three perfectly ( Read more... )

Okay. Look. I already have two vids with clips in the timeline, and as of last week I've ripped all of BtVS and Gilmore Girls to my new vidding drive so that I can start a VividCon vid for each of those shows. I got smacked upside the head by a Friday Night Lights vidsong a few weeks ago; I keep waiting for my brain to realize that the song isn't ( Read more... )

...and, okay, now that I am finally returning to one of my two vids-in-progress AND am getting all excited about new action on an old idea, NOW I find a Slings & Arrows vidsong ( Read more... )

This morning, a song I've been listening to a lot lately went from "possible Heroes vid" to "OMG the sheer perfect awesomeness of this song for Heroes will never be equalled!!!" I imagine that by noon the pendulum will have swung back a bit to a simple "yes, this song works," but for now I am a little overwhelmed by the song's sudden "VID ME VID ME ( Read more... )

So this morning I was walking to work, as I always do when it's too cold to bike, and I was listening to my iPod, as I always do when I walk, and I was listening to one of my favorite CDs from last year, which is more common than not, and one of the songs, which I have listened to dozens of times without incident, grabbed me and insisted that it ( Read more... )

By the end of today, I will have piles and piles of papers to grade. Over the last couple of evenings, I have celebrated my remaining hours of freedom by watching movies, notably Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, both of which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Last night, while I was brushing my teeth*, I thought of a Before Sunrise / Before Sunset vidsong. I ( Read more... )
