stuff of various sorts....

There's nothing quite like waking up in the morning to the celebratory squees from fandom because WE HAVE A SEASON SIX!!!!!!!!!! \o/

The lovely deirdre_c made a vid a little while a go in order to celebrate this event (she obviously knew this was going to happen! \o/ ), And now she can share it with us all!! It's aptly called "2 Legit 2 Quit". It's a sheer delight (of course!!) And I know I'm going to be singing that song it all day and celebrating the fact THAT WE HAVE MORE EPISODES TO WATCH!! \o/

Also, I know some peeps feel they have been let down by season 5 (and maybe even 4), but for the record... I LOVE' em! They are hard and not full of all those wonderful moments that made up season 1 and 2, BUT I think the show would have stagnated if it hadn't moved in such a strong direction. Sure, there have been some weak episodes and ideas, but as a whole I think both seasons have been remarkably strong (and really..? We have a season 6 to prove that! :D).

Though, dear Kripke, please be finishing this story line this season. Dragging it on through season 6 may just try my patience a bit too much...



I wanted to say how much I have loved seeing everyones abandoned vids.. I know that sounds strange, but to see those glimpses of what could have been has been fascinating. And wow! Some awesome works. Maybe some might just get finished one day.... ;)

I wonder if fic writers ever do an "abandoned fic" meme...? Though I suppose posting 10,000 words or so to say this never got finished, might just not work so well. I think that happens to WIP's quite often anyway. Though opening paragraphs might?? (You can tell I know little about writing yeah?? :D:D )

Also: Vid Rec:

I need to fill you in on some background first to put this in context.

I have an OLF (on line friend) Don't even know if that acronym exists, but there it is. greyowl88 who I met over at You Tube. She watches a lot of vids and has recently started vidding. However, she is unable to successfully access live footage. (And believe me I tried everything I could to somehow get them to work for her!). So she has to work with stills only.

She recently made this picvid about Sam's blood addiction and I think it's really awesome. Considering she is only limited to promo stills and screen caps she has done a remarkable job of not only putting together a story, but working the footage to simulate movement. Friggin' hats off I say.

It's here if you have a moment to pop over and give her some support. I love seeing what people can do with limited resources and LOTS of passion.


Have a great day everybody!

*sings* too legit, to legit to quit, *and dances a bit too* :D

\o/ It's awesome!! It's put me in a good mood ALL DAY!! :D

*breathes sigh of relief* No need to require withdrawal therapy just yet! \o/

[ash48.livejournal.com]

OMG! I don't even want to think about the withdrawals when the show is finally over...

At least we don't have to think about it yet! :D :D

[debbiel66.livejournal.com]

I'm just thrilled for a Season 6. Supernatural just makes me happy, even when it makes me miserable. And TV just doesn't get better than that.

Can't wait to go watch the vid - thanks for the rec.

Supernatural just makes me happy, even when it makes me miserable.

Hee! Absolutely! I can be bawling my eyes out saying "Man, I love this!"

:D :D

[varkelton]

I'm grinning from ear to ear!!!!!! I'm soooooooooo freakin' happy!!!!!!!!! ::does a back-flip of joy::

[ash48.livejournal.com]

I know! It's wicked isn't it?! I've been an an awesome mood all day today - and I attribute it to waking up to that news this morning! :D

I don't see how anyone couldn't like seasons 4 or 5. Season 1 is my favorite but a show can't stay the same for five seasons. It must change and grow or it's going to get boring.
Personally I love the dark tones and I think Jared has improved so much as an actor now (I didn't care for him in seasons 1 & 2). I think some of the strongest eps for the whole series have been from seasons 4 & 5.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Yes. I agree. Both with Jared's improvements and that some of the strongest eps have occurred in S4&5.

I'm so excited to see how S5 concludes and to now know there will be a season six and least we are safe in knowing the boys will be victorious. Well, I assume so. Nothing can be certain with SPN!

:D:D

So far the Life on Mars on is the only one I've had to abandon. And it grates me the wrong way. I can see how it should have turned out but the quality issue still exists.

So I understand how people feel when they have to "let go" of something they feel deeply about.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

So I wonder why the quality ended up like that? I assume it doesn't look like that in FC?? So it occurs in the rendering, or exporting phase?

Hmmm..... I figure you know more about this stuff then me, so I assume you've tried everything.

And yes. Letting go is hard. Actually it's more about the time spent. I have so many ideas I want to work on, wasting the time on something that doesn't work is so annoying. But. That's the way it goes...

[greenpear.livejournal.com]

Well first each of the individual frames was shrunk to 10%. And the whole thing was rendered. It was placed in a second project multiple times and that one was enlarged, sometimes to 200-300%.

That's why the quality went sour.

*blushes* So many lovely words to rec my vid *is touched*. Thank you so much!!

Btw I put in a disput on yt now because the feedback I get is that the vid is blocked everywhere even though it says only a few countries. I have no reply yet...*is nervous*.
So I did good to upload it elsewhere.

Thanks again for the rec *hugs*

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hey there. :D My pleasure hun. :)

You don't usually get a response. The vid is usually up immediately. I just checked and it's playing! :D :D

\o/

[greyowl88.livejournal.com]

Thanks for letting me know. The inbox info on the vid says that the content owner haven't responded yet. So I thought it's still blocked. Tony said it's unblocked until they reach a decision.
There is a strange message too, telling me it blocked worldwide and the next sentence it says it still can be seen all over the world...I find this all so confusing and irritating *headdesk*
Ah well, let's wait and see what happens but I'm glad that it's unblocked so far. \o/

WOOT for screencap vidding! I just did this for a Valentine's Day because I wanted to get back into the swing of vidding, but I had no clips. I thought the result was going to be disastrous but I think it turned out ok. I'll have to check out greyowl's vid now!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hi! You know I kinda dismissed screencap vidding as a way of vidding, because anything I've seen in the past has mostly just been hot boy clips set to music. :) But Greyowl is making me see that it can be an art form as well.

:D

[geckoholic]

I'm happy about S6, too. If there'll be reason to nag and bitch, I'll do so later. For now, I'm glad show's not going to come to an end just yet. *nods*

[ash48.livejournal.com]

If there'll be reason to nag and bitch, I'll do so later

Hee! I'm sure there will be plenty to nag and bitch about once the season starts!! :D Maybe even before hand.... :)

I'm really excited about it. Means more fun in fandom! :D:D
