Happy new year! Hope 2011 was satisfactory to you, and I wish you love and puppies and beautiful handbags and shoes for 2012.
What perhaps I need to do is find a way to be more moderate about it while vidding-a form of vidding that’s less about vid farr. But I don’t know if that’s possible. Hmm, I too share the doubts as to whether it's possible. Just in the sense that creativity doesn't seem to actually play well with work/life balance in general; it very much seems to have its own agenda. But it's a noble goal and I look forward to seeing whether you can make it bend to your will in the coming year. :D

I couldn't imagine a better new year's wish!! I wish the same back to you, plus skulls and snakes that live happily on wrists. Oh, that sounded very wrong, but you know what I mean! <3

I know, this is so true--it might actually be more that I have to approach it from the other side. Last year, when I went through very stressful work periods, even though I wanted to vid, I didn't let myself, and I think that led to unbalance all round, and so when I finally allowed myself to vid it was like this long-put-off eruption. So I think I might try just to allow myself a steady pace of vidding, and if the muse takes over then, well, I'll be grateful for the inspiration! But we'll see. Overall, I'm just shooting for more balance in 2012 in general, in everything, with vidding one important piece of the puzzle.
I preemptively tried to highlight my difference, using in your face DIY/rough around the edges imagery and syncopated editing, even though I knew that might not resonate. I've certainly done the same thing. It's not primarily an aggressively rude thing, but more of a defense. I get what you're saying.
I wish you luck trying to vid in moderation. I can't figure it out. :)
I've certainly done the same thing. You have? This actually makes me feel a bit better! I sort of imagined this was just my complex, but now that I think about it, it makes sense that everyone has to work through their entry to VVC in different ways... But anyway, I'm glad I'm aware of it. But at this point it's leaving me wondering how to tell when I want to do something more off beat just because I like it, or also because of some defense mechanism. I feel a bit like I want to throw the whole question out and just create... but that's probably way too idealistic.
Seems like everyone struggles with vidding in moderation! I think my approach is actually going to be to let myself vid even when I'm very busy, to try and integrate a more steady creative outlet in my life, and hope that in turn that moderates my relationship to the whole process. But we'll see!!
