Vidding, vidding, random post

Vidding is kinda evil and kinda sexy - like Evil!Sam.
Hence the icon.

It's like this slightly 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*

I have to admit, while I've recc'd vids, I've very rarely reviewed them. It has to do with the process of downloading. By the time you've downloaded the vid (and for me on dial-up that's hours later), you've clicked away from the comment page. So to review you've got to find the post where you originally ... ah, heck, it's a bother. YouTube works better because you view the vid there and the comment form is still in front of you.

I understand that. I too have dialup most of the time and I tend to keep the tab open in my browser so I can reiew later, but I wouldn't expect everyone to do that.

I try to have my vids streaming these days so the comment box is right there. :)

Anyway, it's not really a big deal, I just like to whinge when I'm bored. :P
