Clear the Area Notes: A million thanks to
chimosa for a fantastic beta. Thanks also to
juxtoppozed for looking at an early version of this. Additional thanks to
alichica886 for the song. Having a dancer for a beta was a great challenge for me because I became hyper-sensitive to movement and timing. If you notice any improvement in those areas, it's thanks to
chimosa. Narratively, I don't know what to tell you. When I first started with this vid, I had this convoluted alternate universe story I wanted to tell. But the clips just refused to be shaped in that direction. What resulted is more of a mood piece than a narrative piece, I think. Technically, I did not do much tweaking to the clips because my method of importing source results in very "fragile" clips which don't take well to manipulation. So I had to make the cutting do my work for me. For those of you who notice those sorts of things, I am aware that my aspect ratio is a little wonky, but I cannot bring myself to care all that much. I'm finished!!!!Woohooo!!!! Additional note: Since I am making these vids purely for fun, I am not looking for criticism, constructive or otherwise. Thanks for understanding.
