A couple of years ago on the Nummy Treat site, someone pointed out that Premiere was a really good editing program. She did not say that people who were using Windows Movie Maker or iMovie were not good vidders - just that Premiere was a better tool.
Somebody else on the list took that as a snub against vidders who use cheaper software and referred to that person as an "elitist bitch." The original poster referred to this on her LJ with much eye-rolling. Others chimed in that if that's all it takes to be an elitist bitch, then they thought they were probably elitist bitches, too and the "Elitist Bitch Buffy Vidding Cabal" was born.
I'm a member in good standing in spite of the fact that I have done a requiem vid to a Pat Benatar song which should disqualify me from any definition of the word "elitist."
The Elitist Bitch Buffy Vidding Cabal is a much more forgiving group than the name would imply.
