In Search of Potential Betas

I've been vidding a bit over a year now.  I've joined Vidpub, participated in Festivids, posted on various vidding-related coms, signed up for another vid exchange, and even spent hours and hours in #vidding chat.  But something is missing: a handful of solid betas to give me feedback on my Works in Progress. 

Soooo..is anyone out there OK with being asked to beta future vid projects?  Saying yes doesn't mean you're promising to beta anytime I ask, but rather that 1) you're OK with being asked, and 2) you imagine you'd say yes at some point, depending on availability, fandom, etc. 

[personal profile] jetpack_monkey has already offered beta services for future projects.  This is awesome!  But I'd love to know if there are other people out there as well who are willing to share their thoughts on my WIPs.  More brains = better vids, I suspect?

Since I don't have much experience yet with the beta process, I'd also love to hear how it works for you, how much depth you like to go into in feedback, how many versions of a WIP you'll look at, etc.

ETA: Um, I forgot to write this?  But I am more than happy to exchange beta services, not just receive them!  Be forewarned that I have not yet ever beta'd a vid before (or any other fanwork), but I'm getting more confident that it's something I could do.  A gal's gotta start somewhere, right?
