sisabet: (shattering sisabet)
So Festivids happened and now it is time for reveals and I made five vids.

First my treats: I was really happy to have the chance to make some vids for [livejournal.com profile] greensilver this year since she has been my pinch-hitter extraordinaire since the beginning of time (or Festivids). Trying to make these vids under her nose was not exactly easy as she is a rather suspicious vid-guesser.

Parks and Recreation )

Pride and Prejudice )

The Wire )

Raising Hope )

While You Were Sleeping )

Feedback is loved, squeezed, and called "George."

[livejournal.com profile] fan_eunice has posted an interesting topic on the use of longer clips and how they can be effective and how they can be nothing but boring. Not to let an opportunity pass me by, I've got a VIP clip in comments that could use some imput.



Vid Meta. It's the new orange.

Lots of thanks to the usual suspects - this was actually the most low stress vid I've made since... well, last year.

Thistle and Weeds
song by Mumford and Sons

Fire cannot kill the dragon

Content Note: scenes of sex abuse/assault.

Feedback is as essential as a Stark at Winterfell.

So, this is my last vid that premiered at VVC last weekend. This one was made for the Fuck You Challenge and as such, should probably speak for itself.


Get Low
Song by Lil John and the Eastside Boys

No, really. Fuck you.



I embedded this one at Vimeo due to content (nudity, language, sexual violence, but NO EYE PLUCKING. Which is kinda sad).

If you have a vimeo account you can also download from there.




ETA: disregard the above.

Mega-huge thanks to [livejournal.com profile] sockkpuppettfor keeping this secret tight and under wraps for months and months and months and helping me through my own post- Women's Work blockage by embracing the sheer visceral nature of this project. It was gleeful, y'all. Also, thanks to [livejournal.com profile] caphricacorn who cannot keep secrets* at all BUT DIDN'T BREATHE A WORD OF THIS all throughout Vividcon, even though it was killing her.

Finally, major kudos to [livejournal.com profile] absolutedestiny for watching an early draft and not only getting it, but embracing and encouraging. This vid is for you. I feel so UNDERSTOOD! You get me. Sniff.


*she really can't. One year for Christmas, she was so excited when she saw me that she blurted out "I got you a present! It's a surprise, but it smells nice and you can burn it!"

Hey, in other news, [personal profile] lierdumoa has finally posted her Challenge vid.  It is self-explanatory and is one of the most stunning, moving and excellently crafted vids I saw all weekend (which is saying something as I saw a TON of wonderful vids this weekend).  Please go check it out and by all means, let's discuss this.

Yay! Something REAL to talk about. Whew. I've actually held off on all linkage until she posted this, and I think this vid deserves its own post, but soon I'll have a more extensive rec list. Also, con report. Also, my own vids need posting but whatever. GO WATCH THIS VID!!!

God, I was so stressed out, I sat at the computer for an hour afraid to leave to just go PEE in case I would, I don't know, accidentally hit my head on something and black out and NOT GET IN.

*needs a drink*

Now, all I hafta do is wait on [livejournal.com profile] cereta to email to confirm and OMG WHAT IF I DIDN'T GET IN?? I mean, I registered RIGHT when it opened and all but still. What if the server crashes? What if there is an earthquake in Chicago? What if I am blinded in a freak accident and have to have someone sit beside me at the Premiere show whispering "Now John is walking away. Now Rodney is putting his head down and WHOA explosion!" What if I have to fly????

I hate it when I build up anxiety. I am gonna go take a bath.

I'm sitting at my computer anxiously awaiting VVC registration and so I decided to answer the vidding questions Luminosity asked here, although I told her last night that she already knows the answers to all of this.

Sekrit to [livejournal.com profile] smashsc: You were so right on the money with "Freedom Park" - I am in love. So in love. It is on repeat. It might be vidded. It makes me happy. Thank you.

Back to your regularly scheduled self-indulgent LJ Post already in progress.

So, as a partial result of [livejournal.com profile] sdwolfpup'sGreat Vidding Truth Meme (and a lovely place to hang out and comment and see some new and familiar vidders so consider this a pimp), [livejournal.com profile] heres_luck has resurrected the [livejournal.com profile] pipsqueaky Vid Meme from two years back. Also because [livejournal.com profile] absolut3destiny asked. Granted he did it a year ago but we vidders let things percolate. It kinda makes us vidders.

I too completed the the Pipsqueaky Vid Meme two years ago and yeah, I'll revisit. Navel gazing is good for the soul. Or the navel. My navel needs attention and possibly a piercing. Should I dye my hair? SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME SOMETHING TO DO, GOD!

*gets a grip*

Right, vids.

Which aspect of vidding comes easiest to you? )
Which aspect is the most difficult? )
What aspect are you currently trying to master or improve on? )
Of all the vids you've made, which one is your favorite and why? )
Who's your favorite vidder? )

Dear LJ:

I apologize for any and all recent and not so recent freakouts I have had. My life is not hard nor is it a difficult life (despite the pain of "The Bionic Woman" not being available on DVD) and I need to stop and remember this from time to time to time.

Again - I have to say... if they let me have AIM at work, I would post much less often - witness my freaked-out posts - they all occur Monday - Friday from 9-6pm. Of couse, not spamming LJ is not a real reason to allow the installation of contraband computer programs.

Le sigh

Lum told me where I put Cappy's present. I've got a new plan to deal with travel and when it comes to vidding, I will accept the things I cannot change and friendslock all the rest. Or something.

So now I need to do something else - something not focussed on me. I want to do vid commentary except dammit - no vids here at work. So I will have to do this from memory.

Here goes -- Vid Life Lessons Learned or How to Suck Your Audience In and then Rip Out Their Heart: Tuesdays with Lum:
