ash48Colour me shocked. That's all I can say. Happy... but damn surprised.
We started shooting the film I'm making at school. Doing this gives me a much greater appreciation of what it actually takes to put a film together. It's one thing to understand the theory, another to put it into practice. Framing a shot is HARD! (let alone all the planning that has to go into it all before shooting even starts!) But wow... awesome fun. I have to say vid making has really helped. Who says fandom life can't help in RL?! (in fact...it's helped me in more ways than I can probably say...*g*). And the kids were amazing. Just took it all in their stride.
I re-watched 6.22. And WOW... even better the second time around. Damn but Show is courageous and awesome. And Jared is tall.
I've just downloaded podfics from readers I don't know. That kinda worries me because the stories look awesome but if I start listening and the reader grates then it's seriously disappointing. But I gotta take the chance. I think really slow readers grate the most. (Damnit, I so shouldn't criticise. I couldn't podfic to save my life. I appreciate that readers go to the trouble in the first place. It's a pretty thankless task I think).
Comm officially opens soon. WOOT!
Non spn vid soon. WO.....um.... hmmm.... ack! ...we'll see.... :)
Well, there's a mixed bag of blah blah.... (that's what the inside of my brain looks like most of the day...sheesh...)

Date: 2011-05-25 03:38 pm (UTC)I would say that in all the podfics I've listened to, there was only one that was so bad I just had to stop listening. And to exactly your point, it was read too slowly. I tried it three different times, even trapped on a place and nothing else to do, and I just couldn't. But that was a rare, rare experience for me. Mostly, I'm amazed and impressed with their talents.
Maybe sometime later this year, we'll gather some podfic recs for
P.S. \o/ *congrats* \o/

Date: 2011-05-25 11:11 pm (UTC)I've stopped listening to about 3 podfics. Which, considering how many I listen to that's not bad. And it is really disappointing when it's a story you desperately want to listen to. (I've also stopped on a couple that the stories where um... just plain... um...boring... )
But yeah... mostly.. AMAZING!!
OOH YES@!!! Podfic recs at comm would be awesome. :D
And thanks! \o/

Date: 2011-05-25 11:15 pm (UTC)And yeah... initially I didn't understand how it all worked - but you've basically got to have made quite a few vids. Or at least 8.
Still have the next round, but I'm chuffed and genuinely surprised I got through the first one.

Heee. I know. Jared is DAMN TALL! He just looked even taller than I imagined he was in that episode. (if that makes any sense../o\) He's a friggin' giant! *leaps on him*

I think I need a coffee to wake up and get my senses back. :P
