Damnit. Just had to pull out of festivids /o\ I really, really didn't want to do that, but I just can't see myself getting to make the vid before I leave on holidays in December.

I'm somewhat fixated on the vid I'm making at the moment (epic vid is..um... epic) and I will not be able to focus on anything else until that is done. With hubby back my vidding time is reduced (fair enough) so yeah, just can't see it happening. Shame, because it would have been awesome fun.

I'll still enjoy all the wonderful vids that come out of it though.


Vidding chat at spnroundtable has been wonderful. People have made such interesting comments about vid watching and making. It's my intention to respond to everyone. It's just taking a bit of time. :)


SHOW SOON! Ack! I think I go in terrified each week wondering what state my heart will be in by the end. Then I remember this season's motto - Relax and Enjoy the Ride. Roger that.

That's why I usually don't sign up for things like that. I can't stay focused on some things cause a bright shiny object (a new idea for a vid) will pop into my head.

And my probably most insane, crazy-teechnical vid will be up in a day or so. I'm not sure if there is even a fandom for this thing but it was a joy to create...

<EDIT>
The vid is up. And of course it's another "no fandom" kinda vid... :)

Ooooh hey! Guess what?! My Show did a Mash-up opening last night!! Yep - totally thought of you. I won't go into details here (spoiler aware) but I squealed and thought Show has been watching fanvids. I mean, they've done it before but this seemed stuff a fan vid would be made of.

I'll check out your vid as soon as I can. :) Not sure if you've been back to the discussion but there's some interesting stuff at the bottom about the definition of "fandom".

And re your question above - I think satire is possibly harder to access (and in "get") then pure crack. Crack, is usually pretty silly and very "obvious" whereas satire and parody require (I think) a deeper understanding of the source.

Ooh, you got me all thinky again. Stop that. :D

This is funny. I was watching the Supernatural/X-Files thing when your email came in. I love things like that...

And the satire thing came to me a day or two ago. I could use content people are familiar with but in the satirical context some people might not enjoy it. It's not attempting to invoke an emotional response. It's attempt to make you see things in an new, and possibly weird, way. And lots of people watching vids just don't want that from their viewing.

And I'm satisfied with living in the "State of obscurity". It's comfortable here... and the taxes are low... and the politicians are, well - non-existent!
