Vidder: starrylizard
Title: 2 Strong Hearts
Song: Two Strong Hearts / I will Always Love you
Artist: by John Farnham / Whitney Houston
Warnings: This vid contains (in no particular order) an overly long and unrelated introductory sequence, a very large and obnoxious watermark, typos, flappy mouth, random use of effects, literal lyric matching, badly executed voice overs, looooong clips, audioswap/karaoke, a long unintelligible summary that doesn’t actually make the vid any more sensible, mismatched aspect ratios, clip residue… and more…
Fandom: Primeval
Characters/Pairing: Stephen/Cutter
Summary: Stephen and Cutter love each other, but circumstances keep pulling them apart and eventually Stephen is eaten by dinosaurs while saving Cutter and Cutter is really upset and Stephen had thought he was dead too and it was totally tragic!
File: 4:15
Links: YouTube | 4shared | Challenge entry post at ETV
Vidder notes: Please note that I had to audio swap the Whitney Houston song, so that YT would play it, but I think it isn’t too noticeable.




Yes, that's right. I was dumb enough to enter the worst video ever challenge over at ETV.

The challenge was to make the worst possible vid you could, while still making it sort of watch-able, I guess. I pretty much made a vid that included all the foibles on youtube that make me laugh as well as all the things I did as a newbie vidder. While I'm really not sure it is watch-able, I did inspire two other vidders to enter the challenge, so go me. You can see their entries here and here if you're at all interested. Actually there is buckets of vidding meta in these three vids. Some people commented that they could be used as a training tool of some sort, but I just hope that this vid is amusing and completely scars you for life.

Well done. It was so bad I couldn't make it all the way through.

OMG!!!! I LOVE THIS VID SO MUCH!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Seriously...

I love that you captured everything that is so bad in vids! Huge vidder identity, INTRO!!! and... "over and over and over"...

Oh god. I was in stitches.

I hate that I haven't had a chance to participate in this challenge because it's been something I've wanted to do forever. I even remember suggesting it eons ago a supernatural vid station because I wanted to make one.

Awesome job! I even love that at about the 3min mark I wanted to fast forward....perfect indication it's a bad vid.

Expect I loved it.

xx

So it's a GREAT bad vid!!

How to make a bad vid...


User [livejournal.com profile] ash48 referenced to your post from How to make a bad vid... (http://ash48.livejournal.com/183777.html) saying: [...] ht what it is that makes a good vid. has created a fabulously awful vid called 2 Strong Hearts [...]

From: [identity profile] amnisias.livejournal.com


Man, I wish I could vid like that! It's rare one sees such raw, undiluted talent that has not yet been spoilt by conventions and dogma of the vidding elite!

Sooo, can I use your vid on my blog as part of an entry on What Not To Do while vidding?

You seem to have captured most of the things that make me cringe after I click the play button and something like this appears...

From: [identity profile] starrylizard.livejournal.com


Honestly not quite sure what you mean. Maybe I'm watching the wrong thing?

Welcome to the flist btw.

From: [identity profile] greenpear.livejournal.com


Welcome aboard also.

Go to some of the earlier vids. Especially the ones with the "special" opening before the actual vid.

I'm on my iPhone so I can't really pinpoint the exact URL.

From: [identity profile] starrylizard.livejournal.com


Oh thanks for the link today. Yep, you're right, the batman credits vid has a lot of those pesky beginner elements that seem so cool at the time, especially the opening credits. A lot of my own vids are guilty of quite a few of them too and I'm sure would have more if I hadn't been limited to WMM when I started. I do love how much this vidder has grown though. That vid was posted to youtube in 2009 and then comparing to the most recent uploads... amazing! :)

From: [identity profile] greenpear.livejournal.com


Yes, I'm actually going to post one of their later vids to the blog. They certainly did improve over the years.

And it was the Batman vid which I was talking about. :)

OMG, I'm laughing through my tears! Here from [livejournal.com profile] ash48's link, that was a perfect collection of wrong moves that make a bad vid!

I have to second the sentiment that this kinda thing would work perfectly for vidding training. When I first started, I watched just as many bad vids as good ones since I've always found it easier to spot what's wrong than what's right. You learn fast the things that annoy you...probably also annoy everyone else. In fact, I joke that half of my vidding process is still just me asking myself, 'Does this annoy you? Change it'. Definitely not a bad way to start out. But having a collection of all the worst offenders in one place is much more convenient. ;)

From: [identity profile] starrylizard.livejournal.com


Haha! As I've told anyone who wants it, feel free to use it as a teaching tool; it's not watch-able as anything else! I missed a few things that annoy me, and I was amused to find them in the other two entries to this challenge. Especially the music that just cuts off! Hee he he. You have to laugh or you'd cry! Glad you got something out of it. :D

My stomach hurts from laughing! Fireworks! Really bad fades! John Farnham! And the singing at the end was just the sprinkles on top of an awesomely bad vid. Heeeeeeeeeeeee

LOL! That was very funny. The over and over and over! And the singing at the end was just priceless!

From: [identity profile] starrylizard.livejournal.com


Thank you! I had too much fun doing everything I can't stand. :)

From: [identity profile] reggietate.livejournal.com


That is an epically bad vid :-) I think the warnings in your header are nearly as funny as the vid itself.

I have an almost-finished Primeval vid but had nearly given up on it as I got disheartened. However, seeing this, perhaps it's not so bad after all, LOL. I should just bite the bullet and finish it off, hahaha.

From: [identity profile] starrylizard.livejournal.com


I've been told all vidders should watch this as a "what the hell not to do" and a "pick me up" all in one. Glad it's got it's uses!

And we need more Primeval vids! go go go! *shoos you toward your editing softwares with glee* :D

Hee! Well, it certainly did both :) *fiddles with vid*

I absolutely adore your icon. Aww!

From: [identity profile] starrylizard.livejournal.com


Thanks, found the picture on google and made it myself. Feel free to snaffle it. :D

From: [personal profile] fififolle


Aw! I will! Thanks :D *hastily removes sepia effect from clip, keeps fiddling*
