Vidding is Hard: Regularly Scheduled Whining Here

[sisabet]

I hate my vid in progress. I don't hate it because it is a bad vid. Actually, it is probably some of the best work I have ever done. I don't hate it because I am bored with the subject matter as I cannot imagine ever being tired of this. I don't hate it because of the song. Well. Huh. I'm not in love with the song, which is kind of a first. I think the song is interesting and catchy and I do like it because the third time I heard it I knew it was perfect for this, this idea. The first time I heard the song I went "Oh god - this is terrible. Let me listen to it again" which then morphed into the second time throught thought of "Huh. This is interesting. I think it is about Due South" and then the third time through I want "Holy SHIT! This is the song about ___with the ____and the ____ that I have been waiting for!" and then I stuck it in a mix for pipsqueaky.

And then I started vidding it and despite many issues I could have had - the vidding has been rather painless and too easy and now I am beginning to resent the fact that the vid let everything else come together sooooo easily - but the ending will not be what I want it to be. Cause I thought perhaps I was in control of this vid and now I see I am not. The vid is the boss of me. And I resent that.

When do I get to be on top? All I am asking.

So now I am doing the avoidant-yet-vidding thing (because all I have to do is this one thing and then I am finished) where I have premiere open and the project pulled up and yet... if I am at my computer I will also be running a DVD, reading fic, chatting on aim and lusting over Video Ipods at apple.com and generally anything and everything other than actual vidding.

I started organizing my iTunes. This is unheard of.

Me and my vid have a tempetuous relationship. We are like Spike and Angel.
