spaggel drew fanart for vids during BAScon and ours was one of them! ::LOVES HER LIKE WHOA::

Critque will be adored, so will comments.

Whoa. So SGA marathon w/lierdumoa and *whoa*. I think I need time to process that. SOCOOL. SGA vid is now officially next on the queue: Mraz's 'Too Much Food' to Rodney. ::SQUEES:: The song is brilliant and perfect and 'food' = Atlantean-tech-and-thus-sometimes-John and John is an Onion Ring and it really is "all about the word-play, all about the sound the tone of my voice". XD ::bounces::

Meanwhile...

So my inner 12 year old had a nice long chat with my inner-Sands and.

and.

well.

::covers eyes:: There's no excuse for this.

I'm really very sorry.

I have figured out that to get my vid to render properly, it looks like I'll have to render each frame individually, as a .bmp and then stick them back together.

...and...do I actually, honestly want to go through with that?

...::thinks about making this vid off and on for the past YEAR::

I hate my brain.

I hate my brain that cannot let go of this.

askdfh.

So.

I am way more sane now. YAY! Move has been completed and RL is moving towards balance and I'm thinking of dipping my toes into fandom again.

This has been greatly helped by the squee of visiting hippediva and smutcutter the other day, and an AWESOME time was had by all. (::pokes kyouichi:: Dude, we need to get together to squee about maldoror_gw's Kindred, among other things)

And on the matter of sliding self back into fandom, well, vidding. It's always vidding. Fandom of my heart, and despite my not being able to collect myself enough to submit a vid this year, I am very excited to see people again at vividcon, and! And!

I am selling myself on Sweet Charity. =D All funds go towards The National Marfan Foundation.

You can still go to sign up to be sold until July 10th. Bidding goes from July 11, 2006 (00:00) to July 31, 2006 (23:59).

My offer:

Samples of my work.

I am willing to vid any song. I am willing to vid any movie. I am willing to vid any series, *provided* you're willing to send me source (downloaded source or Ti-Vo is fine), and I'm willing to reimburse you cost of postage plus a couple dollars for the discs. [Note: The series I have in full is SGA. You won't have to worry about footage if your idea is in that fandom.]

MY personal deadline is to get your vid to you by October, but I am stating the November 30th deadline because certain school deadlines are yet to be set in stone and I'd like the wiggle-room.

I vid in multiple drafts and rough cuts. If you would like, I can send the 5 most different drafts to you either in-progress or at the end of the process or not at all. Your choice. I am also very very interested in your input on the vid-drafts, should you wish to participate in the beta process.

My personal goal? To tailor the vid to your tastes, I will not call the vid "done" until you are deliriously happy with it. =)

Anyhoo, by next week I should be fully settled and able to respond to the various emails and to update vidder_weekly properly.

There's so much to post, but...huh. There's a distinct lack of trepidation about posting. I haven't felt this way in months. w00t? ::wry grin::

Oh! And, ::points:: new default icon since...sometime. I'm still looking for another John icon of a blue-greenish hue looking contemplative. If ya'll see one can you point it out to me? I would love you muchly. =D

So like, I was watching this super-cool Hercules and Iolaus vid and was brilliant and hot and all sorts of neat and I went to rewind it to watch it again.

About a quarter of the way through the second watching, I'd realized I was dreaming, and I managed to hold onto the dream only up to the second chorus.

::headdesks::

Dammit. I wanna finish watching the vid!
