vid feedback/critique offer

[permetaform]

So. Like recently I've been pretty much thinking about vids non-stop and I've been going into vid farr except I'm preventing myself from 'farr-ing which hasn't really been working, 'cause like, Eternal Sunshine vid is nearing done and Prophesy vid is pretty much there too (will try to bring both to MD's for beta).

And, of course, wonderful vid discussion going around here. And in answer to part of that discussion, more discussion here.

And both of them has mention of the issue of getting honest and thorough critique, because for people who are searching for this sort of analysis this kind of critique is extremely hard to find. I am not saying that there is anything wrong with not wanting analysis, and I'm not trying to disturb other people enjoyment of entertainment for entertainment's sake. But what I, myself (and I'm only speaking for myself), like to do is attempt to understand why things work the way they do on a subconscious level. What I try to do in this attempt-to-understand-the-workings-of-things is to understand how to help a vid reach out to different people on several levels. So I, personally, would *love* to get a review of this nature: sort of a "roses and thorns", so that I can see what I'm doing wrong so I can change it as well as finding out what I'm doing right, so that I can do more of it.

Both tazey and sdwolfpup has mentioned LJ comms for this and forums and many ideas are being batted around, go add your own input too! =D

And in the effort to perhaps generate discussion, how about this: If you're a vidder and would like your vid publicly reviewed, comment with a link to your vid, and I'll do so in a public post. I'll address in-depth vidding techinique from the barebones of the technical, all the way up to narrative; and attempt to understand the aim of your vid and try to give critique that might perhaps help you reach the aim more fully. But I won't give a piece of critque without a piece of squee, so the feedback will have it at a 1:1 ratio; and I'll host the discussion in the post.

In return, and if you find the review helpful, I wouldn't mind a review of any my vids that you feel up to reviewing.

Granted, there are some vids that I don't know if I can help, because they are beyond my level or because I can't quite tell what their aim was and thus don't know *how* to help. Or, in the case of lierdumoa, we think far too much alike and I can't really help her. In any case, I'll tell you that and try to find someone who *can* help.

Good idea / bad idea? I thought I might throw the concept and offer out, can't know if you don't try, eh?
