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.

Just do anything you want that's careless! It'll loosen you up, and the freaking birds are on the exported part, and you can go right back to start any time you want.

I think vidding to waveform is the new black.
