Post 99

[ash48]

I've decide to post something so that my 100th post will be my next vid - I know, call me anal - I do like things in boxes, preferably colour coordinated ones. :D

Firstly - welcome to new friends. *hugs* Thanks for coming on board. I don't blog like this often, mostly just vid posts and vid recs (of which I am terribly behind - I hope to remedy that soon) but this is a special 99th post post. Not many really, but when I made my first post in April 2007, I had no idea I would still be here.

I've hand-balled my next vid to my beta so hopefully I'll be posting that soon (I'm back in my comfort zone with this one I have to say - I just needed something to make me smile).

Can anyone tell me if a vid has been made recently (as in S4) to Johnny Cash's "Hurt"? It's screaming Dean at me and I'd love to have a go at it, but not if it's been done recently....

Our boys will be in my country soon (if not already) and it breaks my heart a wee bit that I will not be there for the occasion. But, to all those who will be there have a GREAT TIME (I wish I could share a drink with you all!) and I can't wait to read all about it.

*huggles* you all and I hope you have a great weekend.

I haven't noticed one, but I agree - it sounds like a GREAT idea.

No. Me neither. It just seems like the perfect song for him at the moment so I felt sure it must have been done. Hmmmm - just might have to think more about it.

:D

Oh I know! :( I'm hoping there might be some extra media coverage so we get some new pics. :D *fingers crossed*

I haven't seen one, but there again I don't get around much, so don't take my word for it. Best of luck though, I hope you do it anyway, I know there is some frowning on using songs that have been done already but speaking as someone who's had to shelve three vids recently, (all of which have been weeks and weeks of work) due to posting by another vidder, I'm not sure what advice I can give you or whether I'll ever find the nerve to finish mine.

Use popular/known songs and there's always that possibility and yet I know of others who won't attempt to watch a vid set to a song they don't know - there really is no way to please everyone is there? *G*

I concur. Even if someone has used the song, it's not like they have an exclusive claim to it. I don't think it's stepping on toes unless the video in question is fairly well known or you know the vidder in question. Everyone brings their own interpretation to a song anyway. I did a quick YT search and I've found three SPN videos to "Hurt" (so far).

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Yeah - I did a search too and it looks like only one is very recent - but *koff*, um....I'm picturing mine a little differently to that one. I sometimes miss ones that appear on LJ ....

But as you say, no one has exclusive claim to a song. I'd just rather not do one if an amazing one has already been made to that song. In fact, it would mean I could just enjoy watching it and not make it. :D

Thanks hun.

Yeah, you see I should do that YT searching thing more often, but I do agree with you that every vidder is going to approach a song in a different way - I actually did do a search for the last vid I did and one turned up, I decided to go ahead with mine as the other was a Dean/Jo story and just took a deep breath and kept my fingers crossed. With so many vids being lost from YT though it's still hard to keep track.

On the whole though I just need to stay away from everyone's pet peeves list - I'd be a lot happier and a hell of a lot less fraught I think!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Wow - three vids? You know you should finish them and post them - I saw Maichan's comment below and I agree that anyone has the right to any song I suppose. Plus, each vidder will bring their own flavour and interpretation to it.

For me I'm just not keen to make a vid to a song that's either been used a lot or an amazing vid has just been done on it.

And really? People won't watch a vid is they don't know the song?! I've discovered so many great songs by watching vids - some of them now my favourites because I saw a vid made to them! (so, more fool them I say!)

Thanks Ellie - if the idea sticks with me I might just have to give it a go.

Yeah, I might haul a couple out again, maybe a few months down the line, a little time and distance might help, new footage that I could use.

Me? I've never dismissed a vid just because I didn't know the song, (I usually only do that with those I can't physically watch) or because I've seen it vidded before, sometimes I think it's great just to see another interpretation, but some can't seem to do that without judging one against the other instead of looking at each in it's own right.

Sometimes before I start I do a search and I'll have a quick peek, but usually if it's nothing like what I have in mind (and let's be honest it's unlikely to be so) I decide to do anyway, but if one is released as I'm working I tend to chicken out and stuff it back in the "finish this shit later" file. It's a big file... *G*

Pet Peeves lists are useful but also fraught with danger, I should give them up for a while. **nods to self**

I still think though if the song is talking to you then do it, there's a million and one songs out there but if this is the one to tell the story you have then this is the one for you - I honestly cry a little at those - "I vidded this but the song was rejected so I replaced the audio with..." I couldn't do that.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

I have to say I'm curious about the ones you've shelved..... ;)

Pet Peeves lists are useful but also fraught with danger,

Is that actually a thing?? *iz naive* I have my personal list of pet peeves I suppose but nothing I would impose on anybody else. :) I personally have no issue seeing a song vidded to a few times. Hmmmm, not sure why it would bother me then to actually make a vid to a song that's already been done ..... *ponders*

"I vidded this but the song was rejected so I replaced the audio with...

That is sad! There is NO WAY on earth I could do that. The song is first and foremost in my books and it would defeat the purpose completely by changing the song. I'd rather not post it on YT (which has now happened!)

**shrieks with laughter**

No way...I'm far too chicken, but I will tell you that every time this sort of thing comes up I get the urge to do a crack Benders vid to "The Folks who Live on the Hill"...I'm pretty positive no idiot has stepped in that shit before! I get over the impulse pretty quickly though. Now if I could just get the inspiration and initiative back to finish my Bobby Vid to Aunty Grizelda? Life would be sweet as someone's waiting for that one, but I'm in one of those "meh" moods lately. :)

And yes, for me it is the song every time and if that means not posting on YT? So be it. I'm having the same problem with Imeem too, half my stuff is blocked, but I'll still only vid to the right song.

HA!! DO iiiiiiTTTT!!! :D And the Bobby vid too! Nothing beats a crack vid!! :D Hey and if you ever want someone to take a look at it before you post let me know. ;)

**grins like the loon she is**

Awww...thank you sweetie, that's a very generous offer and one I might take you up on if Aunty Bobby ever gets up speed again. Don't hold your breath, but thanks. :))

Yay! I'm so excited about your new vid!

hehe, I'm dying to vid this song, but I guess I have tonns more and I need to choose my prioreties lol So go ahead! I haven't seen anything good so far for this song, I'm sure you'll change it ;)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

My new vid is pure and utter fluff! :D But I'm having a ball with it and it's making me smile!

Oh and hun if you really want to do the song go for it. You'd do an amazing job with it..... (let me know, if you definitely decide not to do it, it will probably be my next one - but if you do it's absolutely fine with me!!)

xx

[secretlytodream.livejournal.com]

fluff is always good :D
Well, I wanted to vid this song, but it was more like a wish than an actualy idea. You know, this song is really like supernatural song, no matter what character to choose, but I guess it's not my favorite =) Besides, my two Sweet Charity songs are SO cool, I totally loved them, so I will NOT vid this song in the near....100 years? lol It's totally yours, and I'm sure you'll find the right mood and feel for the video for this song. Actually I really wanna see it, I'm excited ^^
I have a lot of plans, a lot of songs, a lot of boyz *g* so don't be afraid you'll leave me without any work ;)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hee!

*hugs* thanks darlin'. Guess I have to do it now ...:)

[secretlytodream.livejournal.com]

Yes, you HAVE to do it now :D
