It's 4am, I must be vidding...

[sisabet]

I just... six months. Six months of staring at the same character and listening to the same song and granted, yeah, it isn't like I worked on this thing every single day or even every single week, but I was a workhorse considering it took me MONTHS to even like the thing and this is ME and I still kept working on it even when it is really easy for me not to finish something.

*pants*

But.. SIX MONTHS! I can't even tell what I am looking at any more. It is 4 am and I just realized that I have stared at this dude so much that he has begun to resemble a squirrel to me. Also? Instead of checking for timing on the last run thru, I got caught up in trying to prove the actor botoxed his forehead in the last year. He didn't. BUT STILL!

I want to be done. Please tell me I am done.*

I just picked a font. I am pretty certain it looks stupid, as I am font-tone-deaf.  I suck. This vid is fluff and I struggled over it. Fluff isn't supposed to be hard - it is fluff! Fluff is the opposite of hard! MY WORLD IS ALL OFF KILTER.

I just. I need. I need to look at Paul Gross for a while. That sounds calming.  Maybe rewatch that ep of SPN where Dean keeps dying. I like that.

SQUIRREL! OMG I AM VIDDING THE ADVENTURES OF SQUIRREL-MAN AND HIS BOYFRIEND... panda? I don't know. Please take this away from me now. **


*betas disregard even it I cry.

**in the interest of being completely fair to all parties involved and in order to distance myself from Unpopular Fannish Opinions:  it is quite possible that my current conviction that Joe Flanigan looks like a squirrel is entirely influenced by the fact that I correct aspect ratio last and therefore have been staring at a rather pointier version of him for, I don't know, SIX FREAKING MONTHS, now.

However, I must point out: even in the incorrect aspect ratio, Paul Gross never resembles a squirrel. Nor does David Boreanez. Jared Padalecki does sometimes lean towards badger-esque, but I blame camera angles that tend to shoot up his nose.  Very few people can carry off that shot.

Buffy sometimes gets chipmunky , but only in Season 1. I miss Buffy.

::hugs you a lot::

Having watched the footage of you vidding that you kindly shot for the documentary, I have soooooooo much respect for your dedication. I can't believe the slowness you put up with, not to mention the crashiness! Not since I struggled to run Premiere 3.0 on a third-generation Mac (pre-iMac, even!) have I seen such a nightmare. You are inspirational. You can do anything.

Hee, my computer CAN vid... it just takes its time.

And this vid? This is the one I am working on in the documentary! It will also end up being my Premiere vid, which is different for me because it isn't even mildly depressing.

You know, I'm not surprised to hear that it's the same vid, since I find Sheppard quite squirrel-like in the documentary footage. (:

Hello! Did the squirrel BITE you? Are you rabidly delusional? The vid is *done*! Stop torturing yourself! I mean, if you want to get some eagle-eyed person like f1renze to do a timing beta for you, that's cool, but the vid looks great. And, when in doubt, Verdana is usually a safe font choice for credits. Srsly, it's h.l-approved. *hugs*

P.S. If it would make you feel more secure I could try to make up some shit for you to have to change, but I recommend sparing yourself the hassle. The squirrel is ded! Long live the squirrel!

NO! It wasn't! It might be now, but it wasn't done before because there were places I was able to improve. Now... I don't know what it is now. ALL I SEE IS SQUIRREL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*giggles* I feel for you, I do. But hee! Squirrel!

I am sure the vid is fantastic. I can't wait to see it, even though I have no idea who this Joe Flanigan person is. :D
