I want to see and discuss and do all this and you are making me have to drive home during lunch in order to do all this now!
::glare::
But that's okay cause vid-discussion! Connecting with Audiences! Whee!
*I* think you communicate incredibly well - but this is not news. I always get something from your vids even when they scare me shitless or cause me to froth at the mouth in envy (there is always the first "OMG SO JEALOUS" watch, followed by the "OMG SO PREEETTTY" watch) - but your vids are not a simple one-time-thru-and-you-have-it thing. As someone for whom watching vids is a serious part of their fannish interaction, I appreciate that. Other people do not. You mentioned poison_pagan's reviews and I have to agree - we are coming from a totally different aesthetic, here.
Same deal with crack_van, there are often vids rec'd there that I just boggle at being held up as an example of a fandom (especially when I can rattle off 5 alternate vids that cover a variety of topics and moods and are IMO stellar) and I think a lot of this is because there is a completely different vidding aesthetic out there in fandom-at-large and in the Vidding Fandom we are fashioning for ourselves with things like the vidder list and Vividcon.
If you love "Full House" and are a Joey/Jesse shipper and are active on message boards and read and write fic, but never interact with the more visual-arts members of your fandom and one day you stumble upon a vid to "Bring In the Clowns" and it is all about Joey and Jesse and OMGTHEIRLOVEISSOOLSENFIED you will *adore* this video. And you should because it is aimed at you and thank god it is out there because the joy it brings you is immeasurable.
That vid connected with its audience. It won't connect with me. I will Download it and save it in a special folder and possibly talk about it for a week on AIM, but I won't connect with it in a meaningful way. This is okay. There are plenty of people who are left cold by my own vids. This is also okay.
There are plenty of people who just hate "Full House" and this gives me hope.
