Mini vid meme:

Most proud of: No Bravery. (and strangely "They Did What?!. Mostly because the format was a new thing for me).
Most fun making: SPN's Flying Circus and Echoes.
Most challenging: I Like the Way You Move (con footage /o\) and What the Duck?! (con footage AND pics).
Least Challenging: The French Mistake (lyric matching = easy!)
Most surprised by the response: No Bravery and Mr. Sandman (in a pleasing way)


Plans for 2012:

Vidding:

I have an idea that I'd like to try for 2012. Something that I want to challenge myself with but also something that would involve other people (you guys!). I'm planning a vid prompt similar to the recent "tell me about a fic I haven't written" prompts. It would be a series of mini-vids (10-15 secs) inspired by vid comments about vids I haven't made. They would be presented in one post (so no spamming) and feature moments from vids you guys might want to see. There will be more about this early next year but at the moment this is one thing I would love to try. (Or am I really, really crazy to attempt this?!)

I'd also like to branch out to other fandoms or films.

I've beta'd a few vids this year and I've really enjoyed that process. It's not easy or straight forward so I'd like to keep that up and hopefully improve the way I view and offer feedback. (I'd also love to open up a vid beta discussion *adds to list*)

Meta: Dean and Sex is being written (follow up to Sam and Sex) so I hope that will be done. And even though writing isn't something I do well I love trying to improve it.

Picspams: I want to get better at picspams, so I hope to play around with that some more.

Yay! Fandom. I kinda love you a lot. <3

Ooh, I need to do this since I actually made more than one vid this year!

But congratulations on being productive!

Hey, I like the "vids I haven't vidded" meme idea. It'll be challenging to limit yourself to 10-15 seconds, but I don't think it's impossible, and sounds REALLY COOL! :D

Also, vid beta-ing: SO HARD. Let me know when/where you're going to host the discussion and I will pimp it out because I would love to hear everyone's stories and advice. (In a perfect world, we'd both teleport to Chicago in August for a panel on it at VVC. :P)

It was a pretty productive year and you gave us quite a few cool things to watch. Mr. Sandman and It's Raining Men..so much fun.

The vid challenge would be pretty interesting and probably send you off in directions you never though of. Plus it's probably easier to try something experimental if you don't have to start with something the full length of a song. It'd be cool even to just to see what people would prompt with. Lots of new music to listen to.

LOVE FOR EVERYTHING.

I can't believe No Bravery was in January. I remember having it linked to me and watching it as I was rushing to get to work (just like I am now) and it was the very first vid of yours I'd seen. And that's crazy. cuz I have a different job and live in a different part of the state now but I am still all about this fandom and its vids and following your YouTube like mad, and it's been a whole year! I guess even as things change, they stay the same :D

Congrats on accomplishing so much, hun! And if you ever want more beta reading for your metas, you know I'll always be happy to.

All the wonderful vids you made for us to enjoy! :D
And I'm looking forward to watching your future plans come to life! \o/

I myself have kinda dropped out of vidding. It's amazing watching you go on and on and reach new hights every year. :D

It's funny that every time I stumble upon an amazing and incredible vid, it's most definitely from you! Too bad that now half of your vids can't be watched on YouTube Germany because YT still have issues with our licencing company GEMA, whatever, not your fault.
I was wondering if you do vids for conventions too? Because, if you do, I won't do one. I'm good at vidding to rhythm (I dance a lot, so I should). So if you don't do vids for the cons I'm going, I'm all for the beta-ing!
Of course if you need any help with whatever...

Keep up your fantastic work and all the best for 2012.

Ooooh I like that idea - vids I haven't vidded to. And my you have been busy! Such productivity - just brilliant. I'm still hanging out for someone to make a vid to Big and Rich's Save A Horse Ride A Cowboy using Frontierland footage lol! Cracky I know but I found that whole episode highly amusing with Dean's adorable Wild West obsession. The outtakes from that are hilarious. But I'm sure you will be innundated with responses to that challenge! Your vidding has become pretty synonymous with the phrase Brilliantly Made SPN Vids. Rightly so.

Yay! THe list is big :D I guess I should get down to that too... After I actually FINISH this year lol

And be sure I'll provide you some more stuff for beta'ing! :DD

That`s a great list, and a great idea. I haven´t seen some of your entries, this I`m going to change as soon as I have some more spare time.

I, always ask myself why I manage to do less and less vids each year. After I saw your list, I thought why not make an overall list of my stuff also. After doing so, I know why my number of finished vids drops *yikes*
