Just how spoilery is that teaser that I'm seeing all around the place? I really.. REALLY want to peek.. A little tiny peek won't hurt will it?!


While I'm here.... I just HAVE TO rec some vids that [livejournal.com profile] zimshan recced to me recently. It was in relation to the bad vid post I made a few weeks ago. Though this isn't a "bad vid" by any means... It's the crackiest, most amazing vid I think I've ever seen.

If you haven't seen it I URGE you to check it out. It's brilliantly made and... my God.. the idea. (It's Smallville, but you don't need to know the show at all). Honestly. Go watch! You won't be disappointed. (it's slash but try not to let that put you off either (if you're not into slash) ... it's friggin' hilarious. And kinda O_o)

Go here -> I Swear by [livejournal.com profile] dualbunny

I also highly recommend this "bad vid" (of the Lord King Bad Vid variety). It's a Merlin vid but, again, you don't need to know the show to watch it. Again slash, but crackish so pretty harmless.

It's here -> Alone by [livejournal.com profile] sisabet

This is a perfect example of a LKBV. As in it's done in complete sincerity, it's well made but the idea is "horrific". And in being so quite hilarious.

Watch, watch. So much fun.

"I swear" is a vid of pure beauty. It should totally be used as the vid to show people when explaining what vidding is!

As to that Supernatural teaser? Is that the web clip thing? I watched it and I don't think it's all that spoilery. Pretty sure it's a clip that is from the first five minutes of the episode and doesn't contain anything that you couldn't all ready guess. I think...

Yes. Watching that opened my eyes to the beauty of vidding. Truly transformative.

I've seen the clip posted as a YT embed, so I'm not sure if it's the web clip thing. Probably. I suspected it would be from the beginning.....hmm... probably won't be hurt to peek.

'I Swear' is the reason I'm kinda sorry I roled over my registration for VVC this year, I hear it had the hole room in stiches, either giving standing ovations or rolling around the floor with hysterical laughter. I must have been a thing of beauty, because it starts out quite reasonable, but the crack just keeps piling on, and by the the kitten everybody was laughing uncontrollably.

Putting those two next to each other is interesting, though. It looks like a good 'bad vid' needs a unicorn!!!

I watched it not knowing what was going to happen. Even though [livejournal.com profile] zimshan recced it to me as "Catbaby" I didn't twig. So when it happened I just could not believe my eyes. Then I looked at the whole structure of the vid and realised just how damn good it was.

I imagine seeing it live would have been incredible. What a great to reaction to get on a vid also. It must have been very rewarding for the vidders (I wasn't sure if this was a collab?).

And yes! Unicorns! Damn me if I wouldn't love to make a SPN vid with a unicorn in it. :D :D

OMG, yes, *flail* - you totally have to do an SPN of the LKBV with an unicorn....AND DRAGONS, OMG OMG....I can all see it already....*flail some more* - it would be a thing of kooky beauty!

LOL so much - that's exactly the song that came to my mind! But that would be such a slashfest, it might not be bearable. Sam is leaving Dean for an unicorn??? IDEK what I'm saying...

Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit restless and I dream of something wild
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit helpless and I'm lying like a child in your arms
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit angry and I know I've got to get out and cry
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a
little bit terrified but then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and
then I fall apart ....

*mind explodes*

Ok. Ok.... if I go ahead with something like this it will take some planning. .....

Definitely in the "possibilities* folder. :D :D

And thank you.

I think.

Didn't Ben Edlund talk about how he scripted unicorns into the fairy episode but the budget couldn't cut it? It almost could have been canon!

And the unicorns. Were there really unicorns in Smallville? I need to watch more Smallville, cos it is so much crack. I have DVDs to watch, but haven't got past about S5-ish.

Yeah... don't know either. I've only watched a handful of eps so I'm not sure if the unicorns actually appear in the show. I suspect not ... but can't swear to it.

You doing Festivids this year? They've opened up the fandom nominations and I'm thinking I might give it a go this year.

From: [identity profile] ash48.livejournal.com
You should definitely give it a go!

I signed up last year but ran out of time. The same will happen this year... I go away for 2 weeks over christmas which clashes with the deadline.

But YES YES... you should sign up. You'd make an awesome festivid.
:D

I believe those unicorns scenes are from the movie "Legend" (with Tom Cruise). I watched a lot of Smallville, never saw a unicorn there...

The vid isn't horribly spoilery it just confirms what we already suspected and knew. It's like the first 1 minute of the season 7 premiere nothing really new on information at all in my opinion

Ok. Good. I still haven't checked it out but I think I will have to.

LOL! Thanks for those links (I'm still catching up on posts I was too scared to read before episode 1)

The catbaby -kitteh was high-larious, but also incredibly well done in the way it's so intensely serious to begin with and then just keeps going and plunging off a cliff! See, this is why I've never tried to touch a slash vid for this fandom, I'm terrified I'd do the same thing and NOT NOTICE!! Or do the totally opposite and end up poking fun at something in horrible bad taste...

It's such a fine line isn't it? Flaming Nora I've made some atrociously bad vids in my time, looking back at some of them I want to salt and burn them to put myself out of my misery and some days I itch to hit the delete key on a few! I hope I've learnt a lot and I know I'm much happier looking back on the later vids - however I still kind of want to re-edit everything with new footage and new ideas, but that's not the point really is it? It's knowing and judging where that line is and not just for me as a vidder either, but for viewers too.

Setting out to make a "bad" vid, whether it's from a technical stand point or an over the top dramatic emotional one, is an art form in itself.
