Oh show...

...you communicate so much through words and exchanges-of-looks.  Great for watching, not so much for vidding.

Absolutely yes to the metaphors!

" I imagine a lot of the older movies you like to vid can have this problem as well?" That's an interesting question, I think I made both experiences with both old and new sources, but it would be interesting to take a closer look at that.
One example of an older movie working well visually would be in God Forgives, I don't (an Italian western from 1967). There's a round of poker at the beginning where one character is shown to play with his cigar a certain way. In a later scene another character is shown playing with a cigar the same way. That was such a great way to make a visual connection between the two (they do actually know each other as it turns out) and I thought it worked well in the vid.

Which show are you vidding right now, if I can ask :)

Oh that's cool. Yeah, vidding really changes the way I pick up on visual cues like that. But I'm still learning. :D

As for what I'm vidding...oh what the heck. I'm vidding Elementary. Now someone knows! Heh.
