(no subject)

Who knew vidding was like an obsession - that once you start, it takes over your mind and the next thing you know it is 5am and you haven't been to bed, you haven't actually moved anything but your mouse hand in over six hours and you are vaguely thirsty but ignoring both that and the dull pain in your head. That you blink and realize that your eyes are quite dry and you have been fitzing with a 2 second clip for over 30 minutes only to clear it from the timeline. If you could actively form coherent thoughts, you would realize that you need to get up and go to the bathroom, or go to bed, or perform any of those vital functions that normally don't get forgotten about.

Well - I knew. Hee. And apparently, from recent trips through my FList thebratqueen, mintwitch, and mpoetess are all finding out about that as well.

For these great ladies and anyone else delving into this for the first time, allow me to direct your attention to sockkpuppett's seminal post: The Life Cycle of Vid and Vidder.

Currently I am vacillating between #11 and #15 with the Justin "Epic" vid. Ugh. Oh, and I hate Premiere. I do. Like Angelus hates puppies. So why am I wishing I was home with it right now?

Don't think - just do it. Now.

She says such yummy, brainy stuff as:

The moral of this episode is basically "where there’s a will there’s a way", and Liam hasn’t got the Will of William, he lost it when he slashed that knife across his son’s throat (or possibly earlier still).

And I die. I'd quote more, but that would be the entire essay and I promised aexia I wouldn't post current ep info without cut-tags. I don't think what I quoted up there is a spoiler - but if anyone thinks I should cut if for the benefit of Xia (and only Xia - no one else gets the special treatment. Only him) let me know and I'll edit this entry.
