Vidding Meme: The Half Vid Prince

[sisabet]

Hey ho, More meme here.  It looks like I have just one more day to go! In reviewing my flist it looks like a lot of vidders are gonna take a MONTH to do this. Suckers!  Also, I got my first graduate school assignment back today and I am very happy with how I did. Yay Me!

25 – Music – Do you listen to music while you rip source? Do you listen to your vid song immediately before vidding, months before vidding, or just while working on it?

Yes. LOL.  I listen to music when I am driving or cleaning the house or you know, listening to music. By the time I get around to ripping source, I usually am either watching my vid source, a carefully chosen background complimentary source (for example, while vidding Friday Night Lights, I had FNLplaying constantly in the background.  When I vidded Game of Thrones, my background source was Metalocalypse). I listen to my vid song tirelessly for months or years before starting the vid - I rarely listen to it when I am actively setting up the project. I am All About watching more television, though.

26 – What is the oddest (or funnest) thing you've had to do for a vid?

Um...One time, at Band Camp,  sockkpuppett and I looked all over for things that gushed, exploded, spew and/or went into other things for a vid. I'll give you ten guesses as to the vid and the first nine don't count.

I spent several days camped on my couch with sweetestdrain watching "The Lair" and a Good Parts Condensed Version of "Point Break."
She then convinced me and Cappy that Ryan Reynolds starred as a younger man in a television show called "Young Hercules" and we immediately stopped everything to download that show.  Turns out that sweetestdrain? Can't tell the difference between Ryan Gosling and Ryan Reynolds. I still don't think she realizes that they are not the same person.  Somehow, we ended up with "On the Prowl" and a computer that needed an excorcism from all of that.  No idea how.

27 – Where is your favorite place to vid? Where would be your perfect vidding spot?

I am so weird about this.  For about 8 years I have vidded sitting in a white wicker rocking chair in leiu of a computer task chair in front of my desktop.  Since I moved and got a real computer chair, I haven't been able to vid there.  I don't think  like where the desktop is set up. I made my premiere vid for VVC (Thistle and Weeds) on my laptop while on vacation on a mountain with my ten year old niece always around trying to see what I was doing.  It was kinda nervewracking plus I needed more oxygen. Altitude vidding is hard, just ask fan_eunice.

The hallway area where my desktop was set up in my previous apartment was haunted.  Ask anyone. There is proof. It got creepy. I mean, I could vid there, but when I got rid of my old Dell, shit started going down. Shit of the Haunted Roy Batty Kind.

So, I guess my favorite place to vid is still Memphis. 


28 – Have you ever collaborated with anyone else, whether vidding together, or having an artist or writer work on a piece about your vid?

I love collaborating! For years and years I only would collaborate with Luminosity and/or my older sister drdawn(but when I worked with Dawn, I always "drove" - she would sit behind me and I would vid and she would add her imput).   But then my younger sister, cappylicious moved in with me.  If I was into a vid, I'd eventually go lay down.  When I woke up, she'd usually have finished the vid.  Once I got over killing her for this, I had to admit it was pretty awesome.  She took mah vid! yeah, but... I didn't have to work to get that vid? So that worked out.

Collaborating with sweetestdrain is extremely fun even when my cousin shows up (unannounced) with her three year old daughter for me to watch while we are in the middle of working/reviewing source for "On the Prowl."  Luckily the child has taste that corresponded with ours and we spent the morning watching Beyonce videos and discussing Lady Gaga, Wonder Woman and Batgirl.  I like to think that you can tell this from the vid.

I totally went "WHAT? NO? Ryan Gosling was in that!" and felt the urge to comment correcting you, until I read the following paragraph, which should tell you all you need to know about how much 14-year-old me loved that show. There might have been fanfic with Mary Sue inserts that were never posted online, just saying.
