VVC and Naruto

OH HOLY FUCK.

VVC DEADLINE IN SIX WEEKS.

SHIT.

SHITSHITSHIT. (doom.)

(note to

jackiekjono, found out a friend of mine has AWESOME dvd collection, will check with them for source ::geeking out::)

also,

lierdumoa is pimping Naruto like mad:

Once upon a time (today) in a land far away (the internets) there lived an anime. And that anime was the gayest gay that ever did gay. However, unlike all the other gay anime, this one was pretty straight looking to the untrained (read: blind) eye. Why it was barely camp at all if you didn't count the flaming spirit energy. Or the constant eyefucking. Or the female protagonist with THIRD WHEEL printed across her forehead. Or the crossdressing antihero dying a tragic death in his lover's arms. Or...

Okay, so it was the campest camp that ever did camp. However, the two male protagonists were pretty butch and did a lot of macho posturing. They hardly ever touched or got in each other's personal space except when they were fighting (all the time). They might have kissed once, but it was a total accident. Besides, Naruto was in love with the Sakura (better known as THIRD WHEEL) and Sasuke was in love with power and revenge. It never would have worked out.

The anime ended up with a giant straight male fanbase and nary a yaoi fangirl to its name. Hardly anyone wrote fanfic about Naruto and Sasuke having teh hawt sexx0rs. Don't even get me started about the vids.

Go to her journal for more. She's meta-ing a hella lot about Naruto and One Piece and a bit about ambition. Go see.

Current Mood: busy

jackiekjono!!! Breakthrough about our vid: main problem is going to be sustaining a 'meaning' or 'storyline' through what is essentially and at heart a movement vid instead of a narrative vid. ...well. Then the side of the brain pipes up and wonders why I can't simply make a movement vid.

But then I realize that I'm too insane to just stop at keeping it a movement vid.

Will be attempting to outline storyline more; 'cause I'm starting to realize that the swooshyness of the song can basically sustain any-fucking-thing you or I can come up with. On THAT note: AWESOME SONG CHOICE.

Credits and Acknowledgements: Love to all my betas for putting up with my complaints, hugs to

sisabet for the listening to my crack-addledness and the beta-on-meds and the other beta through more of my crack-addledness and drawing-through-the-paper-ness, hugs to

inkbug for as usual being my fandom twin and sharing my brain and knowing *exactly* what I'm trying to say even when I don't know exactly what that is and soothing worries like *whoa*, hugs to

lierdumoa for helping me brainstorm past the smarmyness and Jack's funnyness and for beat-whoring with me, hugs

sockkpuppett for listening also to crack-addledness and for being nitpick goddess and reassess-er and grounding force, hugs to

morgandawn who helped clarify the non-fandomist views and helped me with narrative and the funny that is Jack Sparrow (that pirate), and hugs to

linzeems who audienced and soothed me in my oodles of whiny-ness. And *oh*, was there whiny-ness in making this thing...Ya'll rock, if for nothing else than putting up with me.

This vid draws inspiration from fandom as a whole rather than the movie alone. In particular, the vid has been influenced by Forsaking All Others by

fabu, Crimson and Monsters by

viva_gloria, and Immortality by

linaelyn. ::bows respectfully towards these awesome pirates::

Big List of Vid Meta [updated Newbie List 2.16.6]

So I slid into vidding, groped a bit in the dark, slammed into a few walls, and eventually found my way into various info, tutorials, and meta. It would be a waste, I thought, not to organize the suckers. The following is a list of vidding thoughts and discussions that've occured on LJ with a couple of random website links, at the very bottom section there's a link that'll take you to a list with vidding communities.

If you're new at vidding, I would recommend you read through these links with caution, there's SO much information here that if you read *everything* it's probably just gonna make your head all swirly and *EXPLODE*.

Instead, check out the more user-friendly
Vidding For Newbies
...and only when you run into trouble, start looking at the rest of these links. ::hugs newbies:: Vidding is only as hard as you make it to be!

(ps. All those details of codecs and framerates and aspect ratios and etc?...well, that you're going to run into any where. You are *going* to run into those types of problems, it's not a matter of "if" but "when". Don't stress out about it at first. Make vids, have fun, learn as you go.)

( Onto the List! )

Current Mood: ba-da BIG boom!

- What I learned from making 'Why'

Credit and Acknowledgments: Great oodles of thanks must go to

sisabet for the beta, for advice and suggestions and encouragement and being a major goddess with source clips. Also, I got the concept for a certain sequence from her "Without You I'm Nothing", AND she's the one who got me back into Smallville fandom with the same and as such I'm also blaming this vid on her.

Thank you

inkbug for the contrast-check and the sound-check and for you and your glee. I knew that you'd give the vid a chance even if it came out sucky, you are like my long lost fan-twin or something and I just *knew* that I could bounce anything off you.

And thank you

sockkpuppett, for the DivX and the final timings-check! Save my brain, why don't you. ;)

Influences, concepts, and parallel thoughts about the vid are found from and can be explained by

thamiris's "Mirror, Mirror": Gazing and the Formation of Identity in Smallville and

rageprufrock's On Asylum.
