Whoo Hoo and YAY!

[sisabet]

I'm recovering from a rather nasty cold that knocked me out. I owe at least two people things (and Ros, I am totally working on a list for you) and hopefully will be back and about and much more productive than just sitting and pointing and going "Me like Rodney" and then hacking up a lung.

BTW - I was a doubter but Mom insisted and I have to say the Vicks Vaposteam Inhaler works. It is like wasabi that you breathe in. Or, rather like vaporub you don't actually have to wear.

I do want to point everyone's attention to http://sdwolfpup.livejournal.com/246667.html. sdwolfpupis talking about vid betaing and it is very interesting and as soon as I have energy I am totally gonna talk about it.

Also - for anyone that hasn't heard - that job I was wanting soooo badly? The one where I'll take a 30% cut in pay for things I used to think were unimportant, like fulfillment and lack of soul degradation and never ever seeing a cubicle again? That job? Called me in for a second interview!!!

This all calls for Johnny Cash. Oh, Cappy has "Walk the Line" here - I might take some cough syrup to override my biographical movie aversion and watch it to celebrate!

I am *overjoyed* that you have that second interview. I am seriously doing backflips and twirling you around and bouncing up and down and stuff. YAY. I really really hope you get it. And if I can help by sending a letter of recommendation telling them that you're the coolest, smartest, sweetest, and best thing since pie, just let me know.

Add to my rejoicings that you're feeling better physically, and I might just POP.

That beta convo is cool, innit? I posted a longish comment on birgitm's original post, but I'm wondering if I should expand on it in my own LJ.

Oh! Go you with the interview!
Good luck!

So awesome about the interview! I really hope you get the job as it sounds great.

I didn't even know there *was* vid betaing. That's interesting. I never thought about it - the storytelling aspect and how a second "view" could punch up the narrative.

I will always endorse Johnny Cash, and the bio cliches aren't anvilly. Promise.

Woot! I will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you!!!

Just wanted to tell you I love your videos - you are the reason I wanted to start learning to make videos myself. Here's some of my CSI videos - let me know what you think, pretty please! :)

Hi, it is very nice to meet you. I'm sorry that I am so swamped right now. I've got reviews due over at the_reel (which I highly recommend you join and consider submitting your vids for review if it seems like something you are interested in) and I've got beta due for several friends and a long over due music post. I've never actually seen CSI, but I do hear very good things about it but I don't know if I will have anythng really to contribute by way of feedback to you.

However, if you are interested in vidding - I actually did a post about getting started: http://sisabet.livejournal.com/238274.html

If you are still interested - best place for you to start is Permetaform's Newbie Links - http://permetaform.livejournal.com/150126.html (I LOVE her for this)

Comm's I recommend you check out? Well, obviously "lj user="the_reel"> (reviews by request - I just posted one the other day and recs - multifandom), vidding and vidder_weekly --wonderful resources, all of these places.

Thanks so much! :)

Do you take requests for videos?

Re: a total Sisabet fan!

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

No, I don't know any vidder that takes requests or makes vids to order for anyone other than really close friends.

However there are sometimes circumstances where vidders will offer there services at auction for a worthy cause. vividcon is holding their annual vidder auction soon and right this very moment there are vidders for sale (benefitting RAINN)here: http://www.sweet-charity.net/?set=buy
