30 Days of Vidding: Day 29

frayadjacentDay 29: What is your current project or projects?
When I clipped for "Tightrope" last January and February, I also clipped for another Buffy vid focusing on Giles & Buffy's relationship, mostly from Giles' POV. It was initially mostly a feels vid concept -- I love their relationship so so so much -- but then while I was clipping I read a really interesting essay byAngeria (and unless I'm misremembering the name and google isn't doing its usual job of figuring out what I mean for me, this person has deleted their account, sadface) someone whose name I don't remember! Gah now it's gonna bug me all day. It was about Giles and his evolution from a patriarchal figure to...well, I don't remember exactly what they said and I'm not sure I totally agreed with it anyway. But it had a lot of great insights into Buffy's (and other young female characters') effect on Giles and made me want to show some of that as well. I jotted down tons of notes in my vidding journal, and most of them still make sense to me!
So, after making "Tightrope" and getting wrist injuries and having other ideas I sort of forgot that I actually already had a vid (or two) worth of clips all clipped and ready! So my next project is going to be to make that vid. It feels like such a treat that I already clipped for it, and they're just sitting there ready to go.
Day 1: How did you first get into vidding, and what was the first fandom you vidded? What do you think it was about that fandom that pulled you in?
Day 2: Name the fandoms you've vidded in, how many vids you've made in each fandom, and whether you plan to vid in them again.
Day 3: For each of the fandoms from day two, what were your favorite characters to vid?
Day 4: Do you have a "muse" character or fandom that speaks to you more than others? Who are they, and why did that character/fandom became your muse?
Day 5: If you have ever had a character try to push their way into a vid, what did you do about it?
Day 6: When you vid, do you like vidding a certain kind of male or female archetype? (Credit to Dualbunny for that one!)
Day 7: Have you ever had a vid (of yours) change your opinion of a character?
Day 8: Have you vidded with original source? If so, why did you use original source?
Day 9: Pairings: For each of the fandoms from day two, what are your favorite pairings to vid?
Day 10: Pairings: Have you ever tried to vid a pairing you liked, but found you couldn't, or a pairing you didn't like, and found you could?
Day 11: Genre: do you prefer making certain genres of vid? What kind do you tend to vid the most?
Day 12: Have you ever attempted an "adaptation" vid of a favorite media source but set in a different fandom? (I.e., attempted to bring the 'feel' or 'mood' of one source to a different fandom, like the zombie Mary Poppins vid.)
Day 13: Do you prefer canon or fanon when you vid (canon shots vs. using shots out of context; AU vs. canon)? Has vidding for a fandom changed the way you see some or even all of the original source material?
Day 14: Ratings: how high are you comfortable with going? Have you ever vidded higher than you're comfortable with? If you're comfortable with NC-17, have you ever been shocked by finding that the vid you're making is G-rated instead?
Day 15: Warnings: What do you feel it most important to warn for, and what's the strangest thing you've warned for in a vid?
Day 16: Summaries: Do you like them or hate them? How do you come up with them, if you use them?
Day 17: Titles: Do you try to use something different than the song? Why or why not?
Day 18: Where do you get the most inspiration for your vids from?
Day 19: When you have vid ideas, do you sit down and start vidding right away, or do you write down the idea for further exploration later?
Day 20: Do you ever get ideas inspired from other people's stories, vids, or art in the same fandom?
Day 21: Sequels: Have you ever created a sequel to a vid you made, and if so, why, and if not, how do you feel about sequels?
Day 22: Have you ever participated in a fest or a Big Bang? If so, write about your favorite experience in relation to one. If not, are there any you've thought about doing? And if not, why not?
Day 23: When you post, where do you post to? Just your journal? Just an archive? Your own personal site?
Day 24: Betaing: How many betas do you like to use to make sure there aren't any major flaws in your vid? Do you have a Beta horror story or dream story?
Day 25: Music: Do you listen to music while you rip source? Do you listen to your vid song immediately before vidding, months before vidding, or just while working on it?
Day 26: What is the oddest (or most fun) thing you've had to do for a vid?
Day 27: Where is your favorite place to vid? Where would be your perfect vidding spot?
Day 28: Have you ever collaborated with anyone else, whether vidding together, or having an artist or writer work on a piece about your vid?
Day 29: What is your current project or projects?
Day 30: Do you have a favorite vid you've made? What makes it your favorite? And don't forget to give us a link!
