Vidding is kinda evil and kinda sexy - like Evil!Sam.
Hence the icon.
It's like thisslightly highly addictive creative process, that sucks time and energy and valuable sleep (because I seem to be up until 3am getting that scene just right)and yet there's not much feedback for it. It's really just an evil yet enjoyable process. And I thought I had it bad when I was using WMM, but now I have Vegas it just takes me ten times longer to make a vid, because I keep thinking that I have the means to make it perfect when before I would have settled for "good enough."
Also, I can get 16 comments for a 100 word drabble. I get over 200 hits and downloads of a vid and hardly any comments. It's slightly disconcerting and I wonder if this is just the plight of vidders, or are my vids needing a lot of improvement. The plight, oh my...that sounds whiny! I don't mean it that way. :P
I do wish people would give con crit, but then I wish that for my fic too and it never happens there either.
Oh well, I think my vidding muse has taken a holiday at present - or I should say my vidding muse is still throwing ideas at me, but my will to vid is on the decline. Eh, it always comes back.
I started vidding Madonna's - Die another day. Next day, Yokiem's points me to MM's Heroes vid to the same song and a few days later someone posted a SPN vid and just the other day a CSI one -- all to the same song. *facepalm* Oh I am sooo unoriginal. I'm not watching them until I'm finished damnit.
*peers at her half-finished SPN vid*

But unless you are a BNF of vidding with your own cheersquad or just have supportive (ie commenty-type) friends - ie friends who suck less than I do. Well, unless you fall into those categories, vids don't tend to get a lot of feedback comments in general. And yes, it could be partly because it's easy to sit back and watch a vid (over and over), but it takes a bit of effort to hit the comment/reply button or send an email.
And fics? Ever notice how WIP get a lot more comments while they are being posted than oneshots (even accounting for the different number of chapters)? If people think commenting will get them something (like more chapters quicker) then they'll comment. If it's a oneshot and they'll get no more whether they comment or not, the "not" option is often taken.
And have I mentioned before my tendency to ramble in random comment posts?
Anyways, got to hit the road (back to Sydney) soon.
