[scifi_tv_addict]

Let's play a game called 'editing that drives Stef up a wall'...see if you can find the parts that make me want to stab things:

...if you guessed ANY part of this video, you win!! Seriously, am I not allowed to see what they're vidding?? This is just a mess of effects for the sake of effects. Maybe I'm old-school, but I believe editing should

OMG, i only could watch a minute of it, cause DUH its like an overload with effects and i couldnt even make out what pair exactly that were cause it went so fast. its all a blur!

there are some good fast-cut vids, but they only have one pairing and arent THAT fast-cut. you can still make out whats going on.

[scifi_tv_addict]

Yeah...I don't understand why people don't want us to see what they're vidding. Like someone in there just uses this weird blurring effect on all of their clips and I literally can't see who's IN the clips.

It's like this vidder's TiVo exploded inside the Large Hadron Collider.

I call this the "Stuart" editing style, after the MADtv character: "Look what I can do!"

[scifi_tv_addict]

Lol, yeah...that seems like an apt description!

That video should really come with a "May Cause Seizure" warning. There is absolutely nothing redeeming about it. The editing is a complete mess, there are too many couples for one video, that song has nothing to do with the video and its way too long.

I am with you, effects should not detract from the video and the story it is trying to tell. Having no effects is better than too many.

[scifi_tv_addict]

Ugh, honestly so many vids these days should have that warning. I love watching fanvids but lately it's been kind of depressing because every vid seems to employ the 'let's give 'em a seizure' style of editing.

I agree with you. I quit watching before the 30 second mark. This kind of video gives me a headache. I'm seeing so much of this now. I hope it stops.
